What clients say about this agent....
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!!
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!
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.
We needed help selling our first house and we were referred to LuAnn. It turned out to be the best referral we could have ever hoped for! LuAnn and her team are knowledgeable, extremely responsive, and they do whatever it takes to get the job done. If anyone asks me for a referral, I'm sending them to LuAnn!
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.
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!
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!
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. Thank you! We love our home!
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.
LuAnn demonstrated for us why she is a Five Star Award-winning Realtor. From our first meeting, LuAnns 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 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. If youre looking for an extremely professional, dynamic, and communicative Realtor, look no further and call LuAnn Shikasho today!
