I feel lucky to have found Ute to represent me when I needed to sell my mother's house in Sacramento. I reside in Southern California, was selling in my capacity of trustee of my mother's trust, and the property was tenant occupied. I needed an agent that knew what needed to be done, could help prepare the property for sale, and handle everything locally so that I did not have to travel to Sacramento. Ute not only knew exactly what needed to be done to sell the house as a trust representative, but she was also able to negotiate an agreement with the tenants that made it possible for them to purchase the house despite their low credit scores. The level of communication with Ute was always top notch. Not only did I receive prompt and well explained answers to all my questions, but I also felt that Ute balanced her responsibilities as dual agent very well. I never doubted that she was acting in the best interest of me and the buyers, which I realize can be a challenging task. I particularly appreciated Ute's solution-oriented approach and negotiation skills that helped make the transaction go smoothly and resulted in a true win-win situation (i.e., I was able to get fair market value and the tenants were able to buy the house and did not have to move). I believe Ute's education and experience as an attorney was a big plus. Although there were no legal issues, I felt Ute's strong legal background resulted in thorough preparation that in turn prevented things from turning into future problems. I came to appreciate Ute not only as a true professional with integrity, but also as a very likeable, fun and approachable human being with a great sense of humor. I would do business with Ute again in a heartbeat and would recommend her without reservations to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in the greater Sacramento area. read more
