Back in 2009, I was fortunate enough to meet an amazing real estate agent, LuAnn Shikasho. She helped me purchase my first home in a crazy market. Now, fourteen years later she helped me sell that same house in another crazy market. In 2009, she helped me place numerous bids and showed me many houses. Now, she helped me accept multiple bids just days after listing the house in a market where houses can sit for sixty or more days. The main reason for successfully selling the house is LuAnn’s unequaled marketing campaign. She created a professional YouTube video of the house, which received tens of thousands of views (including a few from friends and family). She then helped us select the best bid and moved to quickly close the house. We closed in 21 days and could have closed sooner if not for the packing time needed with two small children. LuAnn also deftly handled a few curveballs. This is a testament to not just her experience and organizational skills, but also to the strength of her entire team. Everything LuAnn suggested, from having a pre-inspection done so that buyers could remove the inspection contingency, to pricing of the house, helped the deal close quickly and above asking price. If I had to pick a single word to describe LuAnn, it would be tenacious. She works tirelessly to make sure her clients get the most out of the deal, often sending emails and texts at late hours. Other agents cannot hold up against her. I would not want to risk having her on the opposing side of the transaction, so it is best to just have her on your side. She truly made this entire experience seamless and rewarding. I can clearly see why she won realtor of the year!

Luann's team is amazing, they helped me find the home I wanted. We went from looking at homes to closing in less than 3 weeks. Her team worked with my schedule, we looked at homes during the big storm and they got me $20k reduction and $14k credit from owner. Amazing experience! With the market getting hot again you need someone who is on top of everything you need Luann and her team!

We were trying to buy an investment property in Sacramento by the end of the year, and reached out to LuAnn the last week of Nov. She was very responsive to our tight timeline and went above and beyond helping us identify the property and close on time (3 week escrow)! She is very well connected, helping us set up inspections quickly and we were impressed how thorough the vendors were. The mortgage broker she worked with was also the best one we’ve ever had, who got our loan approved with a competitive rate in less than a week. She is very knowledgeable and experienced, bringing intangibles to the table that are important when making investments of this size. Whether you are looking for a family home or a rental property, or looking to sell, LuAnn’s enthusiasm and savvy will impress you. She doesn’t mince words and will tell it to you straight, which is so necessary when doing real estate transactions. We couldn’t be happier with our experience. Highly recommend her.

Luann represented us as buyers in Sacramento, a city we were not familiar with. She was very hands on helping us narrow down the area and criteria that worked best for us, and was a hardnose negotiator. We only had 3 weeks to close with the holidays thrown in, and because she is so experienced and well-connected, she set us up with inspections immediately, an amazing mortgage broker, and we finished our part of escrow in 11 days. 11 days!! Escrow and getting a loan approved is usually painful and nerve-racking, yet we were in such incredibly good hands with Luann and her team. She was in constant communication, ultra responsive and on top of things. I’ve worked with so many realtors in LA, Bay Area, etc and this experience blew our minds. She is the best realtor we have ever worked with. If you want someone who isn’t messing around and is going to get the deal done, go with Luann. She is a rock star.

I have worked with several real estate agents and LuAnn is definitely one of the best. She has a great work ethic and is always available for questions. What sets her apart from most is her willingness to go above and beyond and her compassionate/empathetic nature.

I'm so glad a family member referred us to Luann. She helped my parents move to Elk Grove in 2018, my brother and his wife in 2022, and now me and my family. She knows the area and type of houses built there. She didn't push us into any particular direction but rather listen to what we were looking for and then provide insight on things to consider. We bought a new build house so she wasn't able to do much of the negotiation for us, but she gave some great suggestions such as telling us to get a home inspector to look at the home right when we closed since the builder did not allow us to have one prior to closing. Out of all the main players (Luann, sales agent, lender, title) that helped us, she was the most knowledgeable, precise, and best communicator. I'd recommend her and her team to my family and friends considering a move to Elk Grove.

LuAnne is the best agent in Sacramento, ca she is experienced and knowledgeable! She will tell you the reality of the market to help you find your house you wanted. Also, she is helping not just find your house, making sure to close your escrow! Thank you so much LuAnne for all your support!!!

Luann represented us a few months ago on our first home purchase in Elk Grove. We got connected with Luann through my husband's parents who highly recommended connecting with her once we were serious about purchasing our first home. Since then Luann has even helped my brother-in-law purchase a home in Elk Grove. As a first time homebuyer, she and her team put us at complete ease and really simplified the home buying process. I would highly recommend her services, especially for any first-time home buyers in the Sacramento region. We also appreciate her outreach efforts even after closing. She has built an amazing community amongst her clients.

LuAnn is very knowledgeable and made the experience smooth

Forever a fan! Home prices were down, interest rates were up, and we went from listing to close in 28 days, at more than the asking price. I say “we” because LuAnn makes you feel a part of the team throughout the process. LuAnn Shikasho’s team is very responsive to calls, texts and emails, and always available to answer questions. The team helped me prepare my home before listing it to sell. I was provided referrals to home, pest and roof inspectors, so we could clear needed health/safety issues prior to listing. One of LuAnn’s team partners staged the home beautifully, and it really never looked better. LuAnn and her team were working on multiple homes diligently behind the scenes, and they treated me as if I was their only seller. Very patient and thorough! LuAnn Shikasho’s team researched and prepared a listing presentation, posted social media videos, took professional pictures of the home and set open house dates prior to listing. With all that prep work and aggressive pricing, LuAnn Shikasho’s team was able to list, show the home, consider offers, and close in less than 30 days.
