He handled it all extremely well. He was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to listen to both of us. Jose kept us informed, answered our questions, and helped guide us through each step of the sale. We especially appreciated his ability to communicate with both owners and make sure we were comfortable with the decisions being made. Selling property can definitely have its stressful moments, but his patience, professionalism, and sense of calm made a big difference for us. We truly appreciate all of his hard work and would happily recommend Jose Hernandez Jr. to anyone looking for a realtor. Thank you for sticking with both of us and getting the job done!

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.

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.

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.

I would recommend Mark in a heartbeat to anyone. I could have sworn I wrote a glowing review when…read moreMark helped us buy our house in El Dorado Hills. But apparently I never did and I feel bad about that since the experience was so outstanding. Incredibly patient and knowledgeable and we toured a lot of houses to find the right home. He applied the right amount of caution and advice for homes that needed it while giving us the flexibility to make up our minds. He is very well connected with other agents and service providers and whatever we needed just seemed like it happened like magic through him. In short, exactly what you want from a realtor. Well flash forward 4+ years and we are selling this house and would never have even considered calling someone else. We have a lot of balls in the air at the moment and we're a little stressed about getting things ready, but as soon as he was involved it was like a weight lifted. If you need a realtor, and if you are reading this you probably do, stop looking and call him. Absolutely fantastic.

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.
