As a tenant of this company for three years: beware of poor property management!…read more My housemates and I had a very challenging time getting in contact with our property manager, as they were unresponsive, terse, and unhelpful. Even after contacting management at the regional level, we continued to have very serious issues with management and lack of communication. We faced repairs of roof leaks, fences, and more that took months and during which we received no proactive communication or apologies. The whole time, our manager never once took ownership for their mistakes, and their boss did not hold them accountable either. Our rental with LYON was extremely frustrating and stressful as tenants, and I hope no one else has to have the same experience. I bear them no ill will, but want to help my community to rent well. Please keep this in mind before renting with them!

We had the same tenants for several years and when they moved out, they just moved their friends in. Ally never advised us of any turnover and we never had any maintenance issues. It's not hard to collect rent and take a cut. We decided that we should update the paint and carpet. We advised them of our desire. Without our authorization, although the contract expressly requires them to get approval, they replaced the stove and had additional work done. We didn't know it was happening until they sent the invoice. Part of what they had replaced, and we were charged for, was never completed. We didn't learn about it until we decided to sell. They were awful when it came to communication. I left several messages with the receptionist. When I finally reached Lisha by email she denied getting my phone messages. We decided to sell the unit this year. They did not pass on our requests or lease termination options to our tenants. Our realtor discovered this when she followed up with the tenants. They did not do adequate inspections between tenants. The doors from the closet were removed sometime during their managment. If you are looking for a property management company look elsewhere.

I worked with LuAnn Shikasho to sell my house in Elk Grove. She came over to consult with me when I…read morewas fixing up the home after tenants left. The house showed beautifully with the economical stager that she uses, and the photos and videos were top-notch. We had two hard moments when the sale almost fell through, but LuAnn stayed calm and kept me informed the whole time. She helped me show off the remodel we did on the house, and she was honest with me about the market even when it was tough news. In the end, we got the house sold for market value. I would recommend LuAnn because she doesn't ever give up and the team is very efficient!

Highly recommend LuAnn for any real estate transaction in the Davis or greater Sacramento area…read more My family and I interviewed about seven agents we found through Yelp, and LuAnn stood out immediately due to her experience, track record, and the quality of her marketing and sales materials. She was knowledgeable, organized, and refreshingly not pushy -- a stark contrast to some of the other agents we spoke with. It ultimately came down to her and another agent I'd become friendly with, and LuAnn's professionalism and candor made the decision clear. We hired her to sell an inherited home in Davis that had significant sentimental value and decades of accumulated belongings. She was patient and supportive as we spent nearly three months cleaning, sorting, and conducting an estate sale. Throughout the process, she and her team -- including Anna Huang from eXp -- added tremendous value. Anna helped design and renovate the home, addressed City of Davis inspection requirements, and guided us through every repair and inspection issue that surfaced. The staging was excellent, and the video and social media marketing were outstanding, making the home shine online and attracting strong buyer interest right away. If you have any questions about LuAnn's marketing strategy and execution -- including how she helped turn a $700,000 home into a $900,000 sale -- ask her about our White Horse Davis property. LuAnn also provided a comprehensive list of inspectors, helped us resolve buyer‑side concerns, and kept the entire process on track. Most impressively, she secured a buyer and got the home into escrow within about a week of listing, even though other homes in the White Horse neighborhood had been sitting on the market for months. We achieved the pricing we wanted, felt supported the entire way, and genuinely appreciated her professionalism. I would absolutely use LuAnn again for any future real estate needs in Sacramento, Davis, or even Irvine.

I live at Russell Park, and below is my horrible experience with Tandem Properties, and…read moreparticularly Kaylin, the manager at Russell Park. It shows how little they care about their tenants, and how their top priority is really their own convenience. Each year, we need to fill in an "intent to renew" form, to indicate if we would like to renew the lease. The signed form was due February 19 this year. I submitted the form on February 12, a week before the due date -- but I signed in the wrong column, and indicated that I would not renew when I did, in fact, want to renew. I emailed Kaylin on February 14, hoping to submit a corrected form, but she refused, saying that she will not make any changes once the forms are submitted, even though there are still FIVE DAYS before the due date. I pleaded with her, because I had no other plans for housing, but over and over she gave me canned responses: that she will not make any changes to the forms. As a result, I was recently notified to prepare to move out of my apartment after summer this year, all because I made a mistake in the renewal form, and in spite of me trying to correct it almost immediately, LONG BEFORE the deadline. I tried reaching out to Tandem Properties headquarters, but I just got redirected to Kaylin again, who said she would talk with her boss about this, but after a week, she just regurgitated the same line that they would not make changes to the form. Apparently, the entire management does not give enough of a crap to help me fix the mistake, and would happily throw me out because of this.

Relocating from another state can be stressful, but Anna made the entire process smooth, efficient, and even enjoyable. She is relocation certified, and it truly shows--she anticipated my needs every step of the way, provided expert guidance about the Davis market, and was always quick to respond to my questions. Her knowledge of Central Davis and its neighborhoods was invaluable, and she helped me find a home that checked all the boxes. What really stood out to me was her professionalism, patience, and commitment to making sure I felt confident and informed throughout the process. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled, even from a distance. If you're moving to Davis--especially from out of state--you absolutely want Anna on your side.

Tara was very patient with us, as we were new to Northern CA and had no idea about neighborhoods--she schlepped us from Natomas to downtown Sacramento to Woodland to Davis, consistently honest and helpful about the pros and cons of each area. She allowed us to change our minds again and again about what we wanted, and she adjusted her search criteria without complain. She was entirely responsive to our own ideas and finds, and would quickly arrange showings whenever was convenient for us. Tara ended up feeling very much like a friend, and keeps in touch with us months after the close of escrow. She has many contacts and offers contracting and decorating assistance, and is an internal decorator herself.

I need to add another stellar review for Karen Waggoner. She is truly a professional, skilled, and…read morehard-working realtor.... and does it all with a big heart and compassionate touch. My family recently sold a property as part of an estate, and we were unable to be in Davis for the entire transaction. Karen and her team were so incredibly helpful to us in managing the entire process from A-Z, while we were remote - including lining up inspetions, vendors, and providing a great strategy and plan. Karen was incredibly responsive and organized everything for us in a shared Spreadsheet which we loved as it ensured nothing fell through the cracks. Most importantly through all of this, is how Karen treated us and made us feel. At the start of the process, knowing that we were selling a parent's former home as part of an estate, Karen said "I will treat this transaction as if it were my own parent or family member." And now that the transaction has closed, I can say that she did fulfill that commitment and we are extremely appreciative and grateful to her.

Karen Waggoner is my real estate broker and agent. She was my agent for the purchase of two…read moreproperties and the sale of one. These transactions ranged from 2016 through 2021. I can't say enough good things about Karen and her team. Karen earned our trust almost immediately. Karen gave us great advice and guided us through the transactions making them easy and stress-free. All communications were timely, friendly, and professional. We did almost all of our transactions through email, text messages, and web sites (for e-signing and exchanging confidential docs securely). It was all very efficient and as easy as it could get. (By the way, this was our preference. I'm sure if you have another preference for communications etc., Karen and her team would make it happen for you the way you prefer.) The first purchase with Karen representing my wife and me was for a condo in Woodland. By following Karen's advice, we ended up buying the property at a lower price than we expected. We really wanted that condo and with Karen's help we got it! Given our great experience on the condo purchase, when we wanted to buy another property in Woodland a few years later, we went straight to Karen. We ended up purchasing it far below asking price...again, due to us following some sage advice from Karen. The overall experience was like the first time we worked with her: as good as it gets. Recently (Feb 2021) we sold the condo that we had purchased with Karen's help. This was our first sale with Karen representing us. She advised us to repair some things, update some others, replace a few things, and paint it before we put it on the market. She handled all this including getting bids and managing the contractors. She even brought in some furniture and accessories to stage it. After all the work, which it turns out was a very good investment, we listed on a Friday in the late afternoon. Within 24 hours, we had two offers. Within another day, we had another. We ended up with 3 different competing offers...and sold it for $42K more than our listing price! We are ecstatic about it! If you want a real estate broker/agent who you can trust, who will have your best interests at heart, who will represent you well, and who will be a joy to work with, contact Karen Waggoner. She and her team are the best.
