My parents moved to the Sacramento area 30+ years ago to pursue their careers. When we decided it was time to relocate closer to family we needed to find a perfect agent to help sell our home and we were lucky to find LuAnn Shikasho. As a person, LuAnn is kind, genuine, and an excellent communicator. As an agent, she is organized, persistent, smart, and has a work ethic that is unrivaled in the industry. If you need an agent to sell your beloved family home or help to find a new one then stop reading this review and call LuAnn, I am so happy that I did!
My husband and I worked with LuAnn on a condo purchase, in a lovely neighborhood that she is familiar with and has family ties in. We had been hoping to find a condo in the area for some time and knew we needed to work with LuAnn to secure our purchase. LuAnn helped us get our offer accepted, and escrow closed in record time. This was our third transaction working with LuAnn, and over the years she has stayed on top of her game! She is still the most market savvy, sharp and knowledgeable agent in the area, with a bounty of crucial contacts and resources at the ready. I feel that LuAnn’s experience and top notch reputation gave us a boost over the other offer the seller was reviewing. Once our offer was accepted, we received clear communication from LuAnn’s team for what was to come during the process, a detailed step-by-step review of what we needed to do to have a smooth transaction and close escrow on time. Although we closed escrow over the holidays, and for most people it is a taxing time of the year, LuAnn was so cheerful and hilarious throughout it made it so much less stressful for us! Her positive attitude was infectious and so appreciated. We love working with LuAnn and would recommend her to anyone searching for a home in the Sacramento area.
LuAnn has facilitated the sale of two of my houses so far. I will continue to use her whenever I have a house that I need to sell. She brings a little more confidence to me that I really appreciate. Selling a house can be a stressful situation, but with LuAnn she always has a plan of action that makes the process so much easier! She knows the market, she knows so many strategies for accomplishing the task, and she always looks out for her client. I always know that I will get the best service with LuAnn and that the sale of my house will go in the best possible way with her! She and her team are always right on top of things and I appreciate them so much!
LuAnn and her team are fantastic! She helped me sell my condo. We sold it for higher than I initially expected we would (and at list price!). Had showings every day before we entered escrow within a week of listing. We even got multiple offers during a time in the market when you’d be lucky to get just one offer after weeks of waiting. Closed escrow in less than a month too! Did I mention this was all during a very difficult time in the market? LuAnn’s experience and professionalism means: -She balances offering your her best advice and strategies with considering what your thoughts and goals are -She tells it to you straight and doesn’t give BS answers to things she’s unsure about -She’s extremely communicative and prompt -She’s extremely persistent (which is especially important now when so many buyers are getting cold feet) LuAnn delivers!
We were looking to sell our home and buy a home for our growing family. LuAnn assisted us with selling our home, and closed home in 17 days! LuAnn kept everything moving smoothly by closing on our home and moving into our new home! Thankful to have LuAnn guide us through the entire process! Highly recommend!
LuAnn is very knowledgeable. She is very detail-oriented and responsive. Her team provide top notch service and is very knowledgeable about her area of service. I'm a local investor, and I'm happy with some of the ideas she and her team had given me to have my house marketed and sold. Highly recommend her to next real estate investor who's ready to sell.
LuAnn and Dennis were awesome. I’m very glad I stumbled across LuAnn’s website and I would definitely work with these folks again. Thank you for all your help in our first home purchase!

If you are reading this and are looking for THE BEST agent in the Sacramento region, you found her. LuAnn is a true professional. My wife and I are the third people in our family to work with her. She guided us through the process, called out potential risks, and worked with the other agent and vendors to remediate. Her team is outstanding too. They have fantastic contacts for high quality inspectors/vendors from all trades and even handled the scheduling for us. We could not be more pleased with the ease of this transaction from all angles. LuAnn and her team took a very stressful process and made it easy.
Having bought or sold over a dozen properties, I know the agent can make or break a deal... especially as the seller. Online research, lead to a hand full of Agent interviews (first property I've sold in Sac market)... and ultimately chose LuAnn. Every other agent arrived at our initial meeting with the usual: fliers, literature, market comparison etc, and before we even meet... determined what our house was worth. They hadn't seen the inside yet, could be trashed, old, or remodeled. Anyone can print fliers, and list on the big online marketplaces. I was looking for that personal touch. What differentiated them. Luann was different from the moment we meet. I recognized she was interviewing me as a client, as much as I was interviewing her. She now knew the homes background (rental since new), and we were interested in it's value AS IS, as well as with minor, or full remodel. She provided comps based on each potential scenario. With a plan for a full remodel to meet local tastes to compete with both resales, and nearby New homes, we started into a multi-month rehab. LuAnn check in with us regularly. From prior experience I wanted a R.E. team approach. With each person on the team focused on certain parts of the sale process. Unlike some RE teams, LuAnn isn't just the face of her team... she is the primary contact, using her team in the background. While at first a concern, it was untimely the cherry on top. I was interested in a newer listing feature: 360 walkthrough. LuAnn said she found better success using personal walk-through videos. I was a little leery, til I watched a few examples. While I had already decided she was the realtor for us, that sealed the deal. It was so personal, it made all the descriptive words in the listing, come to life. Rather than more photo's of a home in a new format, it was a warm welcome, a personal invitation if you like, to come see the home for yourself. LuAnn earned this listing, another (sold), and one next summer (2026)!
