ZillowVERIFIEDLuAnn is an exceptional real estate professional, and I highly recommend her for any home sale in Davis or the greater Sacramento area. After interviewing seven agents, she stood out for her experience, organization, and high-quality marketing. She guided us through selling an inherited Davis home with patience and empathy as we spent months preparing it. Her team aEUR" including Anna Huang from eXp aEUR" supported us with design updates, renovations, City of Davis inspections, and repair coordination. The staging, video, and social media marketing were outstanding and gave the home exceptional online presence. If you want to see the strength of her marketing strategy and execution, ask her about our White Horse Davis property.

ZillowVERIFIED Selecting a realtor out of state can be a risky venture. After reading LuAnn's reviews, I felt comfortable reaching out to her to help my son with the first time home buying process. My husband and I have bought several homes in different states but we have never had the type of commitment and experience that LuAnn and Jason provided. They are very transparent in their communication and helped us avoid some potentially disastrous purchases. They made themselves available even when they were on vacation because they understand that timelines are critical in real estate. LuAnn has great team and has access to great resources whether it be financial, inspections, or other home related needs. I can't thank LuAnn and Jason enough for their patience, guidance, and support that they provided to our family.

ZillowVERIFIED Luann did an outstanding job in helping me buy my new home. She responded to all my texts and emails sometimes within minutes. She negotiated with the builder to give me incentives that I didn't even know were possible. Always had a positive attitude and gave suggestions to make the buying like a well oiled machine.

ZillowVERIFIED We had the pleasure of working with LuAnn to sell our rental home in Sacramento, and I cant recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, she was knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly organized. She guided us through every step of the process, coordinated everything from inspections to staging, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. One thing that really stood out was how proactive she was. We were actually out of the country when our home closed, and LuAnn stayed on top of every detail, keeping us informed and helping navigate unexpected issues without missing a beat. We always felt like she had our best interests in mind. If youre looking for a realtor who is professional, honest, communicates exceptionally well, and truly cares about her clients, I wouldnt hesitate to recommend LuAnn. Thank you for making the sale of our home such a positive experience!

ZillowVERIFIED As first time homebuyers, the entire process felt extremely daunting, but LuAnn took amazing care of us throughout. It was really helpful for us to chat with different agents to get a sense of who felt like the right person to work with, and we're so glad to have gotten in touch with LuAnn. She clearly loves doing this job and isn't afraid to give you her two cents based on her years of experience. It's also so obvious that she loves the negotiating process, which was perfect for us since that was the part that filled us with the most dread. Despite a lot of competing offers on the home we wanted, LuAnn got our offer accepted before the showing weekend was even over. If we were ever to need an agent again, we would absolutely reach out to LuAnn. She has a competent team supporting her and a lot of resources set up and ready to go so that she can spend her time on the things that matter - keeping in close contact with us, keeping us updated when things happen, and jumping in at crunch time when people and processes the extra push.

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Luann and her team was an absolute game-changer. From the moment we were ready to list, they stepped in and made the entire process incredibly smooth and stress-free. What truly set them apart was their personal touch. Luann and the team were always available to answer our questions and went above and beyond to help alleviate any fears or anxieties we had along the way. Their communication was exceptional; they kept us posted regularly via email and text, providing specific details and helpful tips so we always knew exactly what to expect. Knowing how to be prepared and what was expected of me at every step gave me total peace of mind. Their marketing is top-tier; they provided professional photography, including incredible drone views of the home and neighborhood, along with a wonderful video walkthrough that was a beautiful, highly effective way to showcase the property. Their market strategy resulted in multiple offers right out of the gate. While many agents stop pushing once you hit the list price, Luann's team put in the extra time and effort to foster a competitive bidding war, ultimately securing a final price that exceeded our expectations. They are organized, proactive, and truly dedicated. I cannot recommend them enough!

ZillowVERIFIED We are SO grateful that we came across LuAnns profile! From our very first phone call, she was quick to respond and fully committed to making the timing work perfectly for us. From visits to the house, hosting two open houses, creating amazing marketing materials, and maintaining great communication with interested buyers aEUR" every key component of selling a home was handled with care and professionalism.

She helped us navigate every step flawlessly and executed the sale of our house with the ease and confidence of a seasoned professional. We trusted her every step of the way and always knew she was negotiating and advocating behind the scenes to help make this all happen for us. We are incredibly grateful to LuAnn and her entire team aEUR" especially Parveen and Ashlee aEUR" for their outstanding coordination, communication, and genuine care in getting our house closed successfully - all in the span of ONE month!!

ZillowVERIFIED I sold my single-story house in Elk Grove, California so quickly with Ms. LuAnn Shikashos excellent support with a highest possible price. She has an extensive knowledge about the current real estates market in Sacrament and gave me her suggestions for a strategic approach in price and timing to sell our house quicky with highest possible price. She quickly arranged professional photographers, and a staging company to make our house very attractive to the market and put our house in the market less than a week. She was also very strong in dealing with a difficult situation to negotiate with the other party when it came to hard negotiations to potential buyers. For example, a potential buyer requested a credit for our houses small cosmetic issue, but her suggestions based on extensive experience made us respond to other party with our decision with confident. At that time, I felt it is very helpful to have LuAnn standing with our side all that time until we sell our house confidently and satisfaction without any issues. At the last but not least, she is very very quick to response our questions and concerns all the time in the process.

ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I dreamed of purchasing a home for many years, but were easily overwhelmed by the process. Thankfully, we were introduced to Dennis Ngai in September of 2024. Dennis is part of LuAnn Shikakos team in Elk Grove and, with their connections, we were able to close in less than two months! Dennis explained each step, showed us the neighborhoods we were interested in, brought us to prospective homes, and answered all of our questions with understanding and care. He is very patient and reliable. It never felt like we were being pressured, which really helped us feel comfortable in our decision. His genuine kindness, extensive knowledge, transparency, and overall responsiveness are amazing qualities that we truly appreciate. Now we are happily living in our dream home. If you are seeking a realtor, we highly recommend Dennis!

ZillowVERIFIED Dear LuAnn, Today marks an exciting milestoneaEUR"I made my final mortgage payment! This journey began with you as my real estate agent back in June of 2011, and I am so grateful for the role you played in making this possible. Since purchasing the house, life has been full of wonderful milestones. In 2014, I got married and refinanced the house into a 10-year mortgageaEUR"a decision that remains one of the best Ive ever made. This June, I retired and Ive been looking forward to this day all year. Owning this home outright is such an incredible feeling. I truly appreciate all the help you provided in closing the deal on this house back in 2011. This home has become our forever home, filled with cherished memories. I even still have the flexible cooler you gave me as a housewarming giftaEUR"its been our loyal companion to countless pool parties! The HomePath program made this house possible for me at a pivotal time in my life. I had just finished the spring semester, celebrated my two daughters graduating from college, and wrapped up my child support responsibilities. At the time, my escrow funds, equal to the required 3% down payment, were all the cash I had. I never imagined homeownership would be possible when I first moved to California in 2007. As it turns out, it was not only achievable but also my financial salvation. Even after refinancing to a 10-year mortgage in 2014, my payments were far below what most were paying in rent. LuAnn, I cannot thank you enough for guiding me through the process and helping me achieve the dream of owning this home. This accomplishment is a testament to the life-changing impact of your hard work and dedication. With deep gratitude, Steven Grimshaw

ZillowVERIFIED LuAnn is an incredible real estate agent. We have had her as an agent both as a buyer and then as a seller. She helped us purchase our house in a very competitive market and when it came time to sell, we already knew who we needed to call. She is incredibly skilled and insightful, knows the market inside and out, has connections throughout the region and is very skilled at negotiating. Her advice throughout the process was invaluable. Her team is also top notch and very organized. When we sold our house, we had already left the area but she and her team made it a very smooth process. We were truly fortunate to have LuAnn on our side both as a buyer and a seller. She is truly the best!

ZillowVERIFIED By far the best real estate agent I have ever had dealings with!! LuAnn was understanding toward my needs in selling my home with tight time constraints due to health reasons. She helped me by selecting the best strategy, pricing, and advertising that led us to an efficient sale that exceeded my expectations. LuAnn is very personable and caring, while letting me feel a part in the selling process while using a "team" approach. In the end, my house sold for well above asking price and we had several offers to consider. I particularly appreciated her patient explanations of the home sale process and personal attention to the details. Thank You LuAnn!! or Domo Arigato!!

ZillowVERIFIED Stellar Experience, Guidance, and Commitment That You Would Expect and Want From a Real Estate Agent. I have nothing but high praise for LuAnn. As a first time buyer, I appreciated her knowledge about the current real estate landscape and any questions I had, her quick and reliable communications, her adaptability to tackle unexpected hurdles specific to my situation, and her honest input during key decisions points. She easily understood my intentions and I could trust on her experience and guidance to make many necessary informed decisions throughout the buying process. Not but not least, LuAnn has an amazing team, reputation, and relationships to leverage. They made it so much easier and I couldn't have done it without them! 10/10 would recommend connecting with LuAnn if you're looking into real estate!

ZillowVERIFIED After interviewing several real estate listing agents to list our house in Sacramento, we selected LuAnn Shikasho to represent us. She appeared knowledgeable about the clients that would be interested in our house and she appeared to be hard working. She provided valuable and honest advice which we considered in preparing our house for sale. She was hard working, responsive, and professional in representing us as the Sellers Agent. There are many steps in the real estate sale process and she kept us informed throughout the entire process, and successfully sold our house even though there were obstacles during the closing. Our experience working with LuAnn was exceptional and we would consider her hiring her again.

ZillowVERIFIED I sold my house using LuAnn. She helped me coordinate the right resources to make improvements, which were a big help. When my bandwidth was limited, she was able to help me project manage some of the contractors. Offers were received 5 days after listing. Took about 3 weeks in total to close. If I needed to buy or sell in the greater Sacramento area, I would use LuAnn again.

ZillowVERIFIED LuAnn and her team are awesome! I would definitely recommend her services for someone looking for an agent in the Sac area. She made the entire selling process as simple and straightforward as possible. She is extremely responsive and helpful in guiding things along. She was able to provide contact info to some contractors in the area to help with repairs before we brought the property to market and the stager she worked with did a great job. I live in the Bay Area so it was really nice to have an agent who is knowledgeable of the area and I felt 100% confident in putting things in her hands. I actually never met LuAnn in person, but we were able to close everything remotely without any issues. The timing of everything worked out perfectly and I cant thank her enough!

ZillowVERIFIED Getting right to the heart of this review: We HIGHLY recommend LuAnn and her Team to take care of you and your real estate needs! Professional, experienced, knowledgeable, personable, focused, efficient, EFFECTIVE --- they cover it all. We listed on a Thursday, had a very successful Open House weekend, and by Tuesday, had multiple cash offers. By Thursday (1 week!), we were in escrow and 11 days later, we closed the sale at a price that was $26k over the original price we had discussed with LuAnn. Our situation was 16 months long --- sorting, cleaning, going through a lifetime of parents memories and possessions --- kept us busy for months. During all that time, LuAnn kept in touch and when we were ready, she brought us viable options on how we could best move forward. Ultimately, we decided to invest in fixing-up the house, rather than selling it aEURoeas isaEUR?. Through LuAnns connections, we were able to narrow our search down to two contractors who bid on the job, which included installation of a new roof; removing carpet and installing LVP flooring throughout; removing cottage cheese ceilings and retexturing; renovating both bathrooms; painting inside and out; making electrical repairs; installing a new stove, dishwasher and microwave. The contractor and his team were great to work with and after 8 weeks, we could not have been happier with the results. We also had some aEURoefix-itaEUR? work that we needed to have done and, again, LuAnns assistant, Ashlee, provided us with excellent recommendations for sprinkler/irrigation work, yard clean-up, as well as home inspection companies. LuAnns counsel to have that report ready for prospective buyers definitely helped the process move more quickly. Once again, if you are in the market for a GREAT realtor with a SUPER team lending their support to your process, you wont be disappointed with LuAnn Shikasho!

ZillowVERIFIED One Of A Kind. This was our second time working with LuAnn, and she was exceptional again! This time around we were buyers, and in this market it felt like a daunting situation. LuAnn was there for us; guiding us with her extensive knowledge of the current market and utilizing her network of contacts. After a few tours of homes, we found the perfect place for our family. LuAnn helped us make a clean offer, and we were able to close quickly and move to Sacramento in 20 days! She is exceptionally bright, focused and so fun to be around. 10/10 recommend LuAnn.

Once we were ready to list, LuAnn and her team of professionals marketed our home amazingly. The marketing video and social media aEURoeshortsaEUR? 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 above asking price.

ZillowVERIFIED LuAnn? is a Rockstar! We closed in 18 days - 18 DAYS! LuAnn is a ROCKSTAR! I've never met an agent as committed, tenacious, professional, kind and compassionate as LuAnn Shikasho. If you've read her other glowing reviews from past clients, you'll understand why she's so highly rated and you'll start to formulate a picture in your mind of what you get when you have her representing you. She is literally ON all the time. I kid you not. Once you hire her, she gets to work STAT and she is with you every step of the way to make sure things go smoothly! When I found this house online at 1:00 o'clock in the morning, I messaged LuAnn and told her I found my dream home! I let her know I wanted to see this house before it got sold. By the time I awoke the next morning, I did a quick follow up with her to make sure she saw my message. Of course she did! In fact, she didn't just "see" my message, she was already WORKING IT and in touch with the Selling agent bright and early making arrangements to take me to view the house that very day. It already had multiple offers but that didn't discourage her one itty bit! I LOVED the house, in fact, I fell in love with it! It was the perfect mid-century modern home I'd always dreamed about owning one day! They rarely go on the market and when they do, the offers come pouring in. I made an offer that afternoon. And then... wait for it... that evening, I got the call from LuAnn. The Sellers accepted my offer! It was SO surreal! Here's the thing about LuAnn, she's a problem-solver, a straight shooter, honest to a fault and she makes deals happen plus she's an outstanding listener! She helps make LIFE happen. A beautiful life getting you into a beautiful home. That's LuAnn! That's what she does and she does it so well. If I sound like I'm gushing, I am, it's because she deserves it! She IS a ROCKSTAR! And she made all this happen in 18 DAYS from the offer to closing escrow! Swoon! Right?! She's amazing! If I could give her 10 stars on this review, I would in a heartbeat. Is she really ALL that?! Yep, she is! ALL THAT! Thank you again LuAnn to you and and your amazing team especially Ashlee and Rodrigo! I will forever be grateful.

ZillowVERIFIED 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 LuAnns 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!

ZillowVERIFIED 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 aEURoeweaEUR? because LuAnn makes you feel a part of the team throughout the process. LuAnn Shikashos 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 LuAnns 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 Shikashos 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 Shikashos team was able to list, show the home, consider offers, and close in less than 30 days.

ZillowVERIFIED Experience,? Speed, Negotiation, Results We are so grateful for LuAnn and her team. They helped my wife and I buy our first home - making a confusing and overwhelming home buying process much easier with their attention to detail, care and support. They always fought for what was best for us and guided us every step of the way. It was almost unbelievable how easy and how fast our whole process was. LuAnn has a "house-full" of connections and experienced partners that she referred us to for financing and inspections. Her people were all of excellent quality and were some of the most communicative throughout our process. When we found a house we wanted to put an offer on, she made sure we made an impression and got our first offer accepted within 36 hours. She knew just what to say and where to put pressure to make sure we got the best deal we could. We have learned that experience really goes a long way to close. We highly recommend this team for all your home buying needs.

ZillowVERIFIED Fast? & Smooth SaleAfter? interviewing, several real estate agents, my wife and I decided to have LuAnn Shikasho and Greg Hobiera, of EXP Realtors, to represent us in selling a rental home. We are very fortunate and pleased with the outcome of the sale.From the beginning and to the end of the sale, Greg was professional, helpful, kind and informative.From the moment that our house was listed, we received several offers. The offer that we accepted, in 4 days after listing, was over the asking price. Once we accepted the offer, the entire process was completed in 16 days. This included funding of my account.My wife and I have 2 more properties that we are selling. Once all transactions are completed, we are buying a home out of state. We will, most definitely, hire LuAnn & Greg for the sales of our home and we will use EXP Realtors (hopefully LuAnn & Greg will help us with the purchase) for the purchase of our new and "forever" home.If I were able to give LuAnn & Greg 10 stars, I would have.Thank you EXP, LuAnn Shikasho and Greg Hobiera for a painless transaction.

ZillowVERIFIED LuAnn is someone you need on your side, especially on one of your biggest purchases in life. My wife and I are so glad we found her. We were moving to a new city and knew very little about the area. She immediately found some listings for us to look at and showed us around town. We saw this level of responsiveness throughout the whole time we worked with her. After looking at all the listings and even though none of them stood out for us, she didn't brush us off. She followed up and ultimately my wife and I decided to go with a new build. Immediately she connected us with several builders and connected us with them. She walked us through the new build process and gave us great tips on working with builders. Even after we started to purchase process she continued to follow up with us to make sure everything was going well. When it was time to close, she was on our corner and made sure that the builder delivered a great finished product. We could not have asked for a better realtor to work with. We would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. In short, LuAnn is responsive, communicative, caring, knowledgeable, honest and so much more. Also she has a great assistant to round out the team (Thank you Ashlee). See you at Costco LuAnn.

LuAnn's experience and market knowledge were invaluable in helping us navigate the complex home sale process from advising which best fix-up project to do, staging/listing, to detail analysis on multiple competing offers. She and her team do the homework, so the process is a lot simpler and stress free than otherwise would be.

ZillowVERIFIED I would like to thank LuAnn and her team, especially Rodrigo, for all of the work they did helping me to purchase my home. They were always available to answer my questions in a timely manner no matter what time of day. Rodrigo was very helpful when looking at houses to point out any issues he noticed that I likely would have missed. He didn't let me waste my time looking at houses he knew ultimately I would not like. He knew what I wanted and made every effort to steer me toward the right homes. I know he had other clients, but I always felt like I had his complete attention. Once I found the home I wanted the team worked diligently to get my offer accepted, even though it was not the highest offer the seller received. Everyone was helpful throughout the entire process. If ever again I am in need for an agent or know of someone that is looking for a good agent, I would definitely suggest this company!

ZillowVERIFIED Wow! Thought selling our single family home while living in Hawaii would be a problem but Luann and her team made this a stressless experience. If you're selling (or buying) a home in the Sacramento area, I would highly recommend calling Luann. She is excellent, has all the contacts for professional staging and photography and her advice and guidance got our home listed and through close of escrow in 27 days!! Mahalo, Luann!

ZillowVERIFIED Exceeded Every Expectation!!!LuAnn is extraordinary, truly. From start to finish she went above and beyond in being our realtor. The sale of our home was significantly delayed by Covid, and throughout it all LuAnn was totally understanding and patient with us. She advised my husband and I on the exact right time to sell and we sold for over $100K what we had originally planned to list for! LuAnn is so professional, super knowledgeable, extremely sharp and intelligent and has a passion for helping people. EVERYTHING she did for us was high caliber - the listing photos were incredible, her office staff was helpful and timely, her brought her many years of experience to every aspect of the transaction. LuAnn is the very best.

ZillowVERIFIED LuAnn is experienced, ethical, smart and fun to work with. Oh-and organized and super knowledgeable. I couldn't have asked for more in a real estate partner. I highly recommend LuAnn and her team if you have property to sell and imagine she would treat her buyer clients just as well.

ZillowVERIFIED During August and amid the restrictive and challenging conditions presented by COVID-19, LuAnn expertly helped me sell my home on a short timeframe and culminating with a sale above list-price. LuAnn's guidance was crucial in preparing the house ready to list quickly. The stager and photographer she recommended beautifully presented the house to buyers on the big real estate websites and social media with gorgeous photos and a spectacular video. With the fluctuations in the market at the time, LuAnn's experience in setting the correct sale price resulted in house going into contract in 4 days and being sold above the asking price. This was my second experience working with LuAnn and I highly recommend her above-and-beyond service as a realtor and look forward to working with her again! Thanks, LuAnn!!!

ZillowVERIFIED LuAnn and her staff were exemplars of professionalism and absolutely superb. Due to the pandemic, everything was accomplished remotely from a different time zone. Although not an ideal situation for any seller, LuAnns expertise helped us overcome these challenges. She recommended a handyman that did an outstanding job preparing our property for sale and she astutely advised us when selecting among the most promising of the multiple offers we received. We recommend her services to anyone seeking a realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED LuAnn and her team was helpful in helping me and my husband get our first home. They have great communication and are fast to close! LuAnn was able to recommend a great loan officer to us as well! She has lot of good experiences. Would recommend her and her team, especially during this time where a lot of work had to be done behind the scene and we were 100% confident in letting her take the driver seat in getting the home we wanted.

ZillowVERIFIED I first worked with Luann in 2013 to buy my first home (entry level), then again in spring/summer 2020 to sell that home and buy a different house. Back in 2013, the market for entry level homes was on fire. I wanted to go with a 15-year conventional loan and avoid PMI, but that meant looking at houses well, well below median Sacramento house prices. At that time, most of houses at that level were being gobbled up by investors who could do 100% cash offers. When Luann took me on as a client, she knew she had a tough job in front of her. She told me to expect to have to bid on quite a few houses to even have a hope at getting my offer accepted. I told her I was sticking with a hard budget; although I could afford more, I didnt want to deplete too much of my limited savings. Even though the eventual commission would be small for her (the housing prices were still very low from the 2008 financial crisis, and again I was looking at well below median Sacramento area pricing), I always felt that Luann treated me like a #1 priority. Luann was right. We spent months looking at houses and lost on many bids. Eventually we visited a house that eventually became my first home. The house was underpriced and Luann made some comps and estimated the value she believed the house would actually appraise for. She recommended that I go a little over appraisal price because she sensed the seller was extremely price sensitive. She never pressured me to go one way or the other, but she was confident that if I didnt go just a hair over appraisal, I would lose yet again. By that point, I completely trusted Luann. She made a number of predictions during our previous failed bids and the situations always turned out exactly as she predicted. So I went all in on her advice. I bid a couple thousand over what we expected to be the appraisal price, and won. The seller had a full cash offer for what we predicted would be the appraisal price, but went with us purely on price. And Luann nailed the price estimate. Appraisal came in at exactly as she predicted. Although I had to come up with an extra couple thousand to make up the difference between my offer and the appraisal aEUR" it was totally worth it to get into the house. Fast forward to 2020. Buying a new house in spring 2020 went relatively smoothly. We bid on the house we loved for list price and got it (it appraised at that value). Luann guided us through the negotiation process, and we got the sellers to do a whole bunch of costly repairs before we moved in. Then we looked to sell our first house (by the way, it was our idea to buy our next house before selling our first house because we wanted to avoid the hassle of showing a house with our messy children still living in it). In that time, the COVID pandemic lockdowns came into place, and that threw a wrench into the whole real estate market. I held off a couple months because I was convinced the housing market would collapse, and pondered renting out the house instead of selling. Luann assured me that entry level housing prices were not showing any signs of collapsing in response to COVID aEUR" in fact they were very healthy from a sellers perspective. So I chose to list the house on the market. Luann sent me some comps and I estimated myself what I thought my house was worth. When I touched base with Luann later that day she suggested we lower the list price from that by 15 grand. At that point, I hesitated. Luann told me she was quite confident that if we lowered our list price by that much, it would spark a bidding frenzy. The list price needed to be at a certain number though to get eyeballs. I thought it was a slightly risky strategy (and I'm extremely risk averse) in case that bidding war never materialized. But I trusted Luann. She had always been right before. AND LUANN WAS SPOT ON. We got that crazy bidding war. We got $12k above what I had hoped for aEUR" and nearly 10% above list price. So I hope my experience with Luann shows a few things. One is that she works super hard for her clients aEUR" doesnt matter if youre talking about a $150k home or a million-dollar home. Shes there for you day/night for the long haul. Second is that not only is she experienced and knows her stuff, shes got superb instincts. I mean she read the COVID situation perfectly from the get-go. You realize quickly that when making what will likely be the largest transactions of your life (real estate), you need an agent that you can fully trust that has your best interests in mind and has mastery of all aspects of the business. Luann is definitely that agent.
