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.

This is the second time working with Connie Van Real Estate Group, and once again they proved…read morethey're the best in the business. Communication is the most important trait I look for in any business, and theirs was on point through the entire process. I got responses back within a day, even on weekends -- which I honestly wasn't expecting. They've got a team and connections for renovations, so my job was basically picking a paint color and signing documents. They handle the bulk of the tedious work, coordinating with contractors, escrow, and everything in between. Their longevity and expertise in the business helped maximize my ROI. They're very professional, yet they also feel like they have your best interest in mind -- more like family than a business closing out a deal. If you're looking for a team that's friendly yet professional, don't hesitate to reach out for an intro call. I'll definitely use their services again and recommend them to friends and family whenever the opportunity comes up.

I was looking forward to working with Connie to sell my Elk Grove property, but unfortunately my…read moreexperience was very disappointing. I initially spoke with Kristina, who scheduled my appointment with Connie and told me she would send comps later that day. The comps were not sent. When it came time for my scheduled appointment, Connie never called. About an hour later, Kristina emailed asking me if I still wanted to speak with Connie or reschedule, but there was no explanation or apology for the missed appointment. A missed appointment can happen, but the lack of communication left a very poor first impression.

We recently moved from an hour and a half away. The best decision we made through the process of…read morebuying a new home was getting Christina as our realtor. From helping us learn our new city with awesome recommendations to taking progress pictures of our new build home and sending them to us, she really went the extra mile. I also appreciated how generous she was with her time. I sent her texts and she would get back to me within minutes, even after office hours. I can't express how much I appreciated that as we did need some guidance especially during the closing process. I'm just so glad we had Christina in our corner making sure we did everything on time; she also worked with our builder/lender to make sure everything went smoothly for us.

She's incredibly easy to work with, always responsive, and one of the biggest perks was that we barely had to communicate with the builder ourselves because she handled everything behind the scenes. She made the home buying process enjoyable and less stressful than previous experiences, and we always felt she genuinely had our back. My family and I are grateful for her and would 10/10 recommend Christina to anyone looking to buy or build in the Greater Sacramento Area and Bay Area. We will be using her for all our future real-estate needs, and if you're in the market as a buyer or seller, you should give her a call. You will not be disappointed!

Amanda helped me buy my first house earlier this year, and I went into the process knowing almost…read morenothing. Amanda had so much patience with me and was with me every step of the way through the buying process! Amanda and I worked together to find several listings that were in my price range and had the qualities I was looking for, and I was lucky enough to find a house that I loved in just a few days. Throughout the buying process, Amanda was so helpful! She would set up inspection appointments, make sure to be at the house for inspections, and keep me looped in as she learned more about the quality of the house. When I started to worry more about the older age of the house, Amanda provided recommendations on the types of specialty inspections I might want to pursue, and how we might use the information learned to negotiate my offer with the buyers. And she helped me negotiate a great offer that reduced the cost of the house and helped me to permanently buy down our interest rate! My partner and I have now lived in my house for 6 months and we love it. We're working to spruce up the backyard and are enjoying making the house our own. I'm so appreciative of all of Amanda's efforts to help me purchase my first home, and would highly recommend her to others who are looking for a amazing, local realtor! P.S. A few days before I got the keys, we had a massive storm and Amanda, unprompted, stopped by the house to make sure it was safe and standing, and sent me a bunch of pictures. WHO DOES THAT!? Amanda does!

Jenny is truly one in a million. She is the only real estate agent I've ever met who has a heart of…read morepure gold. I've worked with many agents in the past, but none of them have had the level of care, dedication, and genuine kindness that Jenny has for her clients. From the very first conversation, she was already planning every detail for my sale. She gathered information, created a clear plan, and sent everything to me right away. What impressed me most was how she stepped up when she realized I was handling everything on my own. She went out of her way to help me find contractors for the house. When one contractor didn't work out, she didn't give up--she went above and beyond to find another one for me. She even helped me find a gardener and arranged for someone to clean up my yard so the home would be ready to list. She didn't just act like an agent; she made me feel like a family member, like a little sister was helping me get through a very stressful time. Thanks to her hard work and guidance, my house sold in less than two weeks. But what really makes her special is that her care didn't stop once the house went pending or even after it sold. She made sure everything went smoothly all the way through closing so I didn't have to worry. She checked on me while I was staying in a hotel waiting for the transaction to complete and made sure I was okay. Jenny also fought to protect the value of my home. She worked with other agents and helped them and their clients understand the true worth of the property so I wouldn't lose money below the listing price. That meant so much to me, especially with everything I was going through. Even after closing, she still didn't disappear like many agents do. She helped coordinate with the new owners to make sure my mail was collected and forwarded to my new address. She truly goes beyond what anyone would ever expect--far beyond the typical job of a real estate agent. On top of all that, her communication is incredible. She is always there when you need her, any time of day. Even when she was out of state, she made sure someone on her team was available to help me. The moment she got back into town, she was texting and calling to check in, asking how things were and if there was anything else she could do. Jenny, Jaid, and her amazing team are more than just professionals--they are a blessing. I will absolutely continue to work with them for any future real estate needs. For me, Jenny is not just my agent. She has become like family, like a little sister and an angel sent to help me through one of the hardest times in my life. If you are wondering whether you can trust Jenny with your sale or purchase, my answer is simple: yes, 100%. You will not go wrong with her. She will be there for you from beginning to end--and even after that. Thank you so much, Jenny, and thank you to your entire team.

She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and patient! I initially was interested in purchasing land and then building, and Vee met with me and explained the whole process of going that route. She was extremely informative but I was still torn between buying land or a home. I was in no rush to purchase either, but thought it was a good idea to get pre-approved to see what I was working with. Vee had an awesome contact so that I could start that process. Next thing I knew, we were out looking at homes as soon as I sent over listings. Vee got me through doors rain or shine and at any hour that worked best for me. Once I saw the home I purchased hit the market, I knew it was the one, and we got the ball rolling! Thanks to Vee, we were even able to beat an all cash offer!!!!!! She constantly kept in contact with me with all and any updates, but most importantly she always helped ease my stress. Her communication skills are 10/10. As a first-time home buyer, she walked me through every single step and was there to explain every detail of closing and escrow. I could text or call her at any hour of the day, and she made it work. I will recommend Viridiana and The Gold Group to all my friends and family, and hope to work together in the future to purchase another home. Virdidiana all her t's and dots all her i's. My best interest was her priority and she listened to me every step of the way.

During the sale of our main home, my family moved out of state. Then our whole family got sick of Covid with my husband getting the worse of it. He was admitted to the hospital and was near deaths door. After discussing with my husband, my husband wanted to proceed with the sale even if God decides to take him. By God's mercy, my husband is still with us today. Arsalon handled the sale of our main home effectively, offering advice and suggestions to me on how to proceed with sale, lined up a mobile notary, informed me of potential issues that came up with 1 or 2 of the 12 offers we received within the 1st week, negotiated a higher sale price than what was offered by the buyer, etc..And this was all happening while I was sick having trouble breathing, taking care of 3 sick kids, and worried that my husband may possibly die. If it was not for Arsalon's professionalism, expertise, knowledge, advice, etc...I don't know how I could have dealt with the sale. He handled everything on the sale side and our house closed in 30 days. I 100% recommend him to all that are looking for a realtor.
