Mark made selling our old house and buying our new one feel surprisingly manageable. From the first…read moreconversation through closing on both sides, he was consistently attentive and patient, never rushed us, never made us feel like just another file. He kept us informed without flooding us with noise, answered questions quickly, and walked us through the parts that usually stress people out: pricing, showings, offers, inspections, and timing the two transactions together. When something came up, he stayed calm and explained the options clearly so we could actually decide instead of guessing. What stood out most was that he treated both deals with the same care. Selling and buying at the same time is a lot, and he handled the moving pieces so we didn't have to chase anyone down. We always knew what was happening next. If you want a realtor who listens, stays patient when the process gets messy, and actually follows through, Mark is the one we'd recommend without hesitation. We felt looked after the whole way through. Thanks Mark!

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 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.

She has a long list of tradespeople that can help you fix things up either before selling or after purchasing if you need. I love using her but I seriously need to stop moving so I'll just recommend her to you.

We had a wonderful experience with our realtor, Jose Hernandez Jr, selling our half-acre property…read more With two owners involved, he had two different people, opinions, questions, and concerns to work with throughout the process -- and at times, I'm sure we gave him plenty of opportunities to practice his patience! 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!

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.

Not only have they guided us through each step with great professionalism, communication and care for details, they also provided a top-notch presentation of our home, which resulted in immediate offers above asking price. In contrast to other brokers who were solely focused on Dollar per sq/ft numbers and "comps", Heather and Steve 'got' our home from the start and were able to sell it well above the estimates the other brokers gave us.

She always had our bottom line at heart and wasn't afraid to be firm when buyers weren't meeting our timeline. At the same time, she was so professional with them and us, making sure everything was handled smoothly. She even thought of things to include in our counteroffers that we never would have considered, which really gave us peace of mind. We're so grateful for her guidance and dedication.
