We bought a home with LuAnn in 2020 and sold the home in 2023. When we bought her negotiating saved us 30K and when we sold, we were able to sell at higher than the price we listed for, even as the fed was raising rates! I will be returning to LuAnn again.
I've worked with Luann and Rodrigo twice now (first to purchase a small but beautiful starter home in Sacramento in 2018, and most recently to help my parents purchase a home in Davis), and on both occasions they did everything imaginable to help us find a place, get the best deal possible, and make sure every part of the process went smoothly. (I actually wouldn't have ended up with the 2018 house at all if Rodrigo hadn't found the listing and encouraged us to give it a look: we'd passed it right by when doing our own online search, but when we saw it in person we immediately knew it was the one. . . :) ) During the recent home purchase for my parents, I had to be out of town to help care for an ailing family member during pretty much the entire escrow period, and Rodrigo went above and beyond to make sure all the necessary inspections happened in my absence (including researching the best local folks to do the inspections we needed, and driving out to the house multiple times to meet them). To top it off, in addition to being incredibly knowledgeable and communicative -- full of good advice, and always ready to answer any question--LuAnn, Rodrigo, and the rest of the team are also just genuinely kind and caring. If you're looking to buy or sell a home in the Davis / Sacramento area, I could not recommend them more highly. . . :)
Luanne got us into our home in just 21 days back in 2018 and when it was time to sell, Luanne had us multiple offers after a single weekend. Luanne and her team gets it done.
Let's face it -- nobody wants to come out on the losing side of a real estate transaction. LuAnn Shikasho does her level best to make sure that never happens to you! That's why she gets my highest recommendation. IMO, too many sellers / buyers submarine themselves by hiring agents who look good on paper but don't do the behind-the-scenes work that's required to really maximize their return on investment. I've successfully completed two transactions with LuAnn -- both as a buyer and a seller. She does that hard work for every single client and every single transaction. Any agent can take fancy pictures, list your home on the internet, hold open houses, and collect offers. That stuff is easy for all but the most inexperienced of agents. What you need to ask yourself before hiring an agent is whether s/he will be available at all hours to answer both your and other agents' questions, is savvy enough to negotiate terms that make sense (and save you money), can help you avoid pitfalls that will cost you thousands (both before and after the sale), and really has your best interests at heart in negotiating the best terms possible. Again, LuAnn Shikasho does all of these things and more. I know because she did them for me -- twice. There's a reason why LuAnn was named agent of the year -- she's a seasoned pro with a heart of gold. Buying and selling your home likely will be the biggest transaction you ever make. If you the time to consider the factors that really matter, you'll discover why LuAnn is the right agent for you. Thanks for considering her!
It is the second house that we bought with Luann’s assistance. She is very nice and knowledgeable. She is always there to answer questions, even after work hours. She helped with price negotiations and paperwork. Currently she is helping me selling my first house. She is awesome!
This was our second time working with Luann. She helped us purchase our home 6 years ago and she was the first person we called when we decided to sell. We cannot speak highly enough of her! Her expertise, unwavering dedication, and remarkable ability to navigate the real estate market have made this whole process as easy as possible for us. We listed our house on Friday and we had multiple offers the following week, including a cash offer exceeding our asking price. She was always available and responsive, offering advice and answering any questions that we had. We wholeheartedly recommend Luann as a real estate agent who will exceed your expectations in both buying and selling a home.
This was our second time partnering with Luann and we simply can’t say enough about her expertise, professionalism and knowledge about the market. The process was smooth and stress-free and she was able to facilitate listing, showings, and ultimately, closing, all while we were out of state! Document review and signatures were all handled digitally-remotely, seamlessly, and stress-free! Luann is THE realtor you need if you or someone you know is looking for an experienced, reliable, trustworthy and truly wonderful human being. Whether you are looking to buy or sell, just call Luann!
LuAnn Shikasho had 11 bids in my house within 6 days. I accepted the highest bid and it was sold within 3 weeks to closing. LuAnn is a terrific Realtor for getting on it and getting the house sold. She has a cameraman that did an excellent video of the house which sure helped . I highly reccomend LuAnn to any one that want to sell thier home. She is the Best . I couldn't be there but that was taken care of by docuesigning from my email which really worked out well . Her knowledge of the market is excellent . The communication was very good and her professionalism is excellent . Thank you LuAnn for getting my house sold so fast.
When we met Luann in person, we felt in love with her. She has such a natural energy that is contagious. She answered all our questions and gave us good advise. We are so happy we found her.
LuAnn demonstrated for us why she is a Five Star Award-winning Realtor. From our first meeting, LuAnn’s energy was immeasurable. It was clear that she is not only an expert in real estate, but an expert in our particular market. She provided honest and thorough feedback on what we needed to do to sell our home quickly and for top dollar. Once we were ready to list, LuAnn and her team of professionals marketed our home amazingly. The marketing video and social media “shorts” were fascinating and portrayed our home in the best possible light, generating a great deal of interest. LuAnn was relentless in closing the deal, resulting in us selling our home after just four days on the market and above asking price. If you’re looking for an extremely professional, dynamic, and communicative Realtor, look no further and call LuAnn Shikasho today!
We recently worked with LuAnn and Trent to close on our new build property in West Sacramento. She was very personable, knowable, and helpful in her tips, suggestions and recommendations. LuAnn suggested we use Nation Wholesale Lending and Frank Yu, who also helped us through this challenging process. She also urged us to have the home inspected with Gary Osuna, who helped us find many items to repair to improve the energy efficiency and safety of the home. We could not of done this without LuAnn and her team. We felt truly lucky to have her in our corner.
LuAnn is very professional and a super star in the real estate industrial. It took less than one month (Including 3 weeks for buyer to close their escrow) to complete the transaction of selling my house. She planed everything ahead and was very efficient. After I contacted her to sell my house, she arranged all the inspections, video advertisement and open house within that week. She is a problem solver by providing contractor’s information to correct issues. She followed up on every step and made sure I provided all information to the buyer. In addition, she also provided a list of the contacts to help close all utility accounts after selling the house. She did amazing job. If I can give her 10 stars, I wouldn’t hesitate. Again! LuAnn I really appreciate your help.
