Shemeika Fox is a force of nature! She is hands-down, without question, the best real estate agent you could ever have. She works so tirelessly for her clients, and goes above and beyond the call of duty to make each transaction feel personal. She is a firm advocate for her clients when needed, is exceptionally well organized and always on time for each step of the process, and is so charismatic that everyone wants to work with her. We genuinely felt like she became another member of the family, and her ability to be so respected by all of the other agents in the area was the key to success for us to find our dream home. She has her finger on the pulse of her area and is dialed in to every necessary detail. My daughter was crushed when our sale was finalized, because it meant that we didn't get to see Shemeika all the time! She is exceptional!

Shemeika made my vision to retire in Santa Cruz into her own vision. Then we worked out the details. When she understood what I was looking for in Santa Cruz, she was on it with her enthusiasm and her impressive real estate expertise. I had planned to house hunt in Santa Cruz for two weeks and return home to Albuquerque with or without a home purchase, so she had a limited window of time. But no problem for Shemeika. During those two weeks and afterward, I noticed her freely drawing on the many facets of her real estate knowledge and on her experience with the Santa Cruz market. This expertise was combined with her personal love of this area. We had a mutual understanding during the whole process that I wasn’t just “moving,” I was moving to Santa Cruz. We were of one mind and purpose. She was professionally prepared for the inevitable twists and reversals that come with a home purchase. She kept building up confidence on top of solid confidence as we headed toward a successful purchase. Everyday Shemeika carried personal dignity into her work. She was never disgruntled with my second guessing, but rather had insight and understanding about the process of decision making. Quite a feat for having only two weeks to help me find a home! She valued everything I said, and she knew when to come forward or stand back, allowing me to ultimately decide what was best. I love remembering how she encouraged me to call an investment company everyday about a gold investment I would be using toward the purchase. If she hadn’t predicted that they would have to be reminded, my purchase of my home might have been slowed to a stop. Working with Shemeika was a successful, empowering experience! She had my back at all times. Writing this review gave me an opportunity to remember what a great time I had working with her. She inspires me.

Shemeika priced our property just right and sold it in one day. She was professional and responded to our questions in a timely matter. I’d definitely use her again for my real estate needs!

Shemeika is a gem! She is the kindest, most thoughtful, caring person. We stumbled upon her in an open house and fell more in love with her than that house. We knew right away she was a perfect fit for us. All throughout the pandemic she kept in touch with us, sent birthday gifts, and when we got the all clear, she jumped right back out there with us to see houses. In such a short time she knew more about what we wanted, than we did. She found our dream home and worked tirelessly right beside us to help us get it. Her passion for what she does and the people she represents is evident every time you talk to her. We couldn’t imagine doing this without Shemeika!

Shemeika was truly the best agent for our first home buying experience. She knew all the ins and outs of the Santa Cruz county market, and had tons of great connections that helped us along the way. She was available at any hour of the day that we needed her, and guided us through every difficult step! At times, Shemeika went and viewed homes for us, as we were buying from a distance, and helped weed out properties that wouldn’t suit our needs. We could deeply trust her to help find us the best possible home. We even recommended her to friends and other family members who successfully purchased a home with her as well.

Shemeika and her team are quintessential professionals, while being compassionate, as they guide one through the unnecessarily complex process of purchasing a home. Shemeika was able to smooth out the process of having to deal with an unresponsive title company and we were able to go from offer to close in about 3 weeks! As a Bay area native, Shemeika has the intuition that is necessary to make home purchases which bring lifelong value. I have been through home purchases twice before in various areas of the Bay and during various periods, and this has, objectively, been the best experience with a realtor. I wholeheartedly recommend Shemeika and her team!

Our experience with Shemeika was exceptional. Not only did she have to jump through a number of additional hoops having to work with our relocation company, but we were living in on the East Coast for the duration of our home search and eventual purchase. She not only found us the perfect house that fit our very narrow criteria, but one that was within our budget and in a great neighborhood. I would highly recommend without reservation using Shemeika as your real estate agent. She is competent, responsive, knowledgeable and extremely pleasant to work with.

The Dream Team! Shemeika & her team were very personable & professional. I valued her honesty & integrity as our Realtor, especially since we are newbie home owners. It took only 1 month from the day we put in our offer to the day we were able to move in! Shemeika hustled & worked hard to close our deal fast. Along the way she introduce us to some amazing connections for when we decide to renovate & update our new home. Very appreciative of Shemeika & her team.

Shemeika is by far the only match for anyone looking to buy in Santa Cruz County. My fiancé and I started looking for a property in a market that was extremely tough and if it wasn't for Shemeika I'm not sure we would have ever been able to secure a house as amazing as ours. Through the countless offers, late night phone calls, and hours of house showing, Shemeika not only stayed professional but had also became a part of our family. She has an amazing team backing her up, your awesome Sarah, and made sure that no matter the question or problem, it was figured out immediately. I hope we don't have to look for another property anytime soon, but if we do I would only use Shemeika. Thank you again Shemeika (and Sarah) for a journey that would have not been the same without you. You are an extraordinary person and we will always keep you in our thoughts! Our lives have changed forever because of you!

Shemeika and her assistant, Shirly, are absolutely wonderful and take all the extra steps (even a FaceTime call mile walk around the neighborhood because you're on the other side of the country) to help you navigate through the buying process. Shemeika was very responsive, set realistic expectations with her in-depth market knowledge of the Santa Cruz area, took extra care connect me with the right people to alleviate my concerns with the property I purchased, and even helped me with getting some quotes started for remodel.

Words can't begin to truly describe what an AMAZING realtor Shemeika is, and how hard she works for her clients!! We went hunting for our dream home in a market that was saturated and impossible to navigate, and her persistence and understanding of what it would take is how we made our dream come true. To be more specific, I'll highlight just a few of the reasons why she is so amazing. First of all, she is EXCEPTIONAL at communication - available when needed, responsive, and extremely knowledgable. Second of all, she is the queen of personal networking. She knows all of the other agents in the area and the greater location so well that she is a part of the fabric of the community, which puts her first at the perfect property for you. And last but not least, she's fiercely loyal to her clients and represents their best interests with a drive and professionalism that gets things done. Without exaggerating, when we told our children that we "got the house", my daughter's face fell and she said "I'm so excited, but does this mean we don't get to see Shemeika anymore? Mom, she's everything a realtor should be." We couldn't agree more!

Shemeika is always responsive and puts a lot of care into the home buying process. The whole thing can be overwhelming but Shemeika was very patient and thorough. It's very clear she loves and is so passionate about what she does while also showing great care for her clients. I have already recommended her to a friend who is looking to sell his home.
