Seller of 1830 Bidwell Avenue, Chico
Mary and her daughter, Karin, are truly a dynamic duo. I called on Mary when I suddenly found myself responsible for clearing out and selling our 50-year-old, 3,000-square-foot family home from out of state. Saying goodbye to the house that had been the touchstone of my family life growing up in Chico was a stressful and emotional experience. Mary & Karin took special care to look out for my best interests every step of the way. They were thorough and on top of everything, from repairs to upgrades, taking a thoughtful and conservative approach that kept my costs down while also honoring the home and its unique history. Mary and Karin's clear, consistent communication and responsiveness made them a steady and reliable presence throughout the entire process, putting my mind at ease more times than I can count. Their flawless execution enabled us to close on the house, well over asking, within 30 days of listing during a tough economic time. If you're looking for a dedicated, driven, trustworthy, and conscientious team that will work tirelessly to get the job done and ensure a smooth seller experience, Mary and Karin are the people to call.

Buyer of 472 E 21st St, Chico
We had such an amazing experience working with Shane to buy our first rental property! As new parents, we were juggling a lot and had so many questions, but she was patient, responsive, and always made us feel supported every step of the way. She really went above and beyond — explained everything clearly, made the whole process feel easy, and negotiated to get us exactly what we wanted. We never felt rushed or pressured, just genuinely cared for. If you’re looking for a realtor who truly listens and has your back, we can’t recommend Shane enough. We’re so thankful for her help and can’t wait to work with her again in the future!
Seller of 374 Spanish Garden Dr, Butte Creek Canyon
Shane was very understanding, supportive, and always showed proactive effort for our best. When my wife and I decided to put our large and unique home for sale, I reached out to many local agents. Then I interviewed about 7 or agents in-person at my property. I gave tour of our home to all of them, so they could understand what the home is like and all the tech that was used in the house, as well as used to build the house. I felt Shane understood my concerns and intent, so I hired Shane to be our realtor and help us sell our large, tech-enabled, and awesome home. Shane provided analysis of every offer we received and helped to obtain further details, from buyer's agents, when we needed it. Shane provided advice, guidance, and suggestions, but was never pushy. We are happy to have had Shane in our corner. Thank you Shane.
Seller of 670 Humboldt Avenue, Chico
Shane represented me as the seller's agent. Her professionalism made for an extremely smooth transaction. Shane and her team communicated clearly and timely, which I appreciated because I live 4 hours away from the house she listed for me. Her market research led to a very appropriate sales price and we were able to close within 3 weeks! I would not hesitate to use Shane' services again.

Tom Hampton

Sold (as lead agent)
Properties for sale
Seller of 11 Whitehall Place, Chico
Tom sold our house in a fairly difficult slowing market. We are older and were ready to downsize from a large 2-story house with a pool and big yard. While the house was pretty impressive, there is a limited pool of buyers above the 7 figure price point in Chico. We'd actually given up on selling after the listing ran out, and were comfortable with staying in the home since we didn't need to sell. Tom however, stuck with a potential buyer for nearly 2 years, and ultimately we closed a deal where everyone was happy. Worked out well for us and the young family who bought the house. Tom's perseverance was what made the deal happen. I would recommend considering him with listing your home.
