The best realtor I have ever worked with! I live out of town, had to manage a death, move a relative out and prepare a house for sale during a COVID pandemic. Once my relative found housing... 3 days later the house was cleared, a week later painted, pest inspection, new roof in 2 weeks, new light fixtures and cleared pest inspection in a month. The 60 year old house was beautiful. We are talking lightening speed! A successful offer in 3 hours. Shelly Long-Welborn shepherded everything. All her contacts and vendors are fantastic people. Before the closing, Shelly Long-Welborn picked a closing date, who does that? She met it! I have sold 5 homes and nothing compares to the work and investment of time Shelly Long-Welborn has put into this sale. You would be crazy to hire anyone else. Shelly Long -Welborn and her team are the best in the industry.

Shelly was the best. She is no nonsense. My house was decluttered and clean for pictures before it went for sale. Sold the first weekend. Everything was smooth with Shelly's expertise. Would highly recommend

ZillowVERIFIEDIf youre looking for a spot on real estate agent, Shelly is your girl. She has a thorough understanding of real estate that comes from decades of experience. She is incredibly responsive and ready to go above and beyond for the sake of her clients. Because of her, we had a full price offer on our house the day it was listed, and we beat out multiple offers on the house we bought. Shelly made the buying/selling process seamless, smooth, and stress free. She has become like family to us and we highly recommend her to anyone who is either buying or selling a home.

ZillowVERIFIEDAs everyone knows buying or selling your home can be very stressful. She was fantastic and sold my home two days after placing it on the market. She is very honest, a hard worker and willing to work with you for your particular needs , and is especially accommodating your such situations as work from home and pets needs. She will tell her like it is if you ask and is very professional . I would I highly recommend her . I am very impressed. She has changed my mind about the real estate industry. She never asked me to fix or change things that were unreasonable also. She is super supportive of your goals as well. Thank you Shelly for putting up with my stressful life and busy schedule.

I had a wonderful experience with Shelly. She managed to sell my house within one month and her performance exceeded my expectations. I would recommend Shelly to anyone in need of an exceptional realtor.

ZillowVERIFIEDI can't emphasize enough how grateful I am to have had Shelly assist our family in accomplishing what felt like the impossible. I knew from the first moment I met her that we were taken care of when it came to what kind of home our family was looking for as well as being able to successfully sell our previous home! She provided all sorts of tips and things to consider when we were looking, was incredibly knowledgeable about the areas of Sacramento we were looking into and had wonderful references to people who could help us with various home improvement projects. We were able to sell our house and buy our forever home within a very short period of time thanks to her pro-activeness and responsiveness throughout the whole complicated escrow process. I learned a lot from Shelly and recommend her to anyone hands down!

ZillowVERIFIEDShelley helped us buy our first house. She worked long hours looking at 6+ houses a day with us because we lived 2+ hours from where we wanted to buy. She knew all the answers to our questions about VA loans and which houses we would qualify for. She was an expert negotiator when it came time to talk details. She made sure we got everything we wanted and more! She was wonderful with my kids, they looked forward to seeing her when looking for houses. Overall, I dont think we could have gotten a better realtor to help us!

ZillowVERIFIEDFrom the moment that we met Shelly Long we knew we wanted her to represent us as our realtor in purchasing a new home. She immediately exhibited a great mixture of professionalism and personality.From day one all the way through closing, Shelly patiently answered every question we asked. There was great communication from the start. She listened to and understood our requests as to what we needed and wanted in our new home. Once she had helped guide us in finding the house that best fit our needs; she patiently walked us through every step of the process until keys were in hand! It was very refreshing to find an honest person that could highlight various aspects of each property we requested to view. Shelly pointed out what she thought would work for us and what might not; she allowed us to take our time and we appreciated her aEURoeno pressureaEUR? approach. Sometimes it seemed as though Shelly remembered what we were looking for more than we did.We would highly recommend Shelly Long as a realtor whether you might be a novice or an experienced buyer or seller!

ZillowVERIFIEDIf I were asked to sum up in one word Shelly's expertise and overall handling of the sale of my property, it would be "OUTSTANDING!" When searching for a realtor, I never dreamed of finding someone so caring, attentive, communicative, and committed to her clients. Shelly always made me feel like I was her most important client.Because I live in Southern California, I figured it would be difficult to oversee the repairs and minor improvements needed to bring the property up to the standards necessary to get the best possible price. Not only were Shelly's recommendations "spot on," she even offered to find and schedule the appropriate contractors to complete the work.From listing through closing, Shelly took care of everything . . . even doing yard maintenance on her own dime! Her positive attitude was contagious and her skills were excellent, as she negotiated a sales price higher than the listing price. I couldn't be happier with Shelly and recommend her without reservation.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I have done numerous real estate transactions over the years. We had come to believe that there was really "no such thing as a good realtor". We met Shelly at an open house and she assured us that she could change our minds as to realtors.The truth is - you only know a true professional when the transaction closes and you can reflect on how well your realtor performed. We could not be happier with how Shelly Long handled every aspect of our transaction - from the showing of homes, to the offer negotiations and through close of escrow. We would not hesitate to use Shelly again or recommend her to others.

ZillowVERIFIEDI could not have asked for a better experience that we had with Shelly. We live in Illinois and needed to sell our house in the Sacramento area. Shelly was extremely quick with her responses to all calls, texts and emails. She used her experience and knowledge of local contractors to set up a total remodel of our house. She made recommendations for improvements that I never would have thought to make. I know this was the reason our house sold in ONE DAY. I honestly believe that without her help, we would have lost money on the sale. Instead, we got exactly what we were hoping for. I highly recommend Shelly if you need to sell a house in the Sacramento area.

ZillowVERIFIEDShelly is a wonderful, knowledgeable real estate agent. She helped me recently purchased my home in the Sacramento area. When buying a home most of are overwhelmed and dont pay too much to detail. Shelly would point out possible issues in home that buyers dont realize. She would provide her honest opinion of the different properties I looked at during my search. Having Shelly as my agent during the house hunt process was wonderful. She really has the best interests of her buys and answered questions during the purchasing processes. If you need someone to help you find your next home talk to Shelly..

ZillowVERIFIEDShelly has handled real estate transactions for me in both selling and purchasing a house. She was very knowledgable and very effective with all aspects of the process for each. From suggestions on preparation for sale or purchase to details of inspections and declarations, to negotiating and coordinating with other agents, and to the final escrow process, I felt very confident and very fortunate at each step to have Shelly as my agent. I appreciated that she was very easy to communicate with and was also responsive to my issues and questions. I highly recommend Shelly for her services as a real estate professional.

ZillowVERIFIEDWhen I was finally ready to buy my first house in 2013 I knew I was going to need a Realtor that I could trust. I needed someone with integrity, patience, knowledge and someone that would help guide me in making decisions that were always in my best interest. Shelly was all of these things for me and more. There were limited houses on the market that fit my criteria and after losing 4 houses to cash buyers I entertained settling for less just to get into a house. Shelly knew I would regret that compromise and worked with me non-stop until we found the perfect house. On September of 2013 I closed on my house and couldn't be happier. Shelly's professionalism, experience and familiarity with the Sacramento area make her a Realtor that I would highly recommend to anyone!

ZillowVERIFIEDShelly had an extensive knowledge of all the surrounding areas of Sacramento. She took the time to learn what we were looking for, LISTENED, and came back with prospective properties that were aligned with our needs and desires. She was extremely patient and took the time to point out advantages, disadvantages, highlights and negatives of each. She was nothing short of fabulous to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone buying a home!!

ZillowVERIFIEDShelly is very dedicated to her craft. She wanted me to not only look at houses but to really learn the area with her so that I could make better long term decisions. We changed the type of housing we were going to buy part way through and she had to start over. Shelly handled that and other of our decisions that she might have disagreed with with grace giving us her knowledgeable input without being pushy. She has lots of experience and knowledge and when we came to something that she had not experienced before she enthusiastically went after answers spending extra time going the the county etc. Shelly is also very determined and if one thing doesn't work she will find a strategy that will. I can not say enough about how positive the experience was with Shelly. She knows what she is doing.

ZillowVERIFIEDWhen my husband and I decided to start house hunting, we really didn't know where to begin. Shelly was recommended by a friend who thought she would be a good match for us and she was right! Shelly was always available during the entire process and knew so much about the neighborhoods. She is very honest and reliable and keeps you constantly updated. She pretty much 'holds your hand' the entire time and won't let go until you're ready, which is great when your're a first time homebuyer or have a million questions like I did. I will recommend Shelly to anyone who needs a realtor, whether it's to sell or buy.

ZillowVERIFIEDPurchasing our first home was extremely stressful for us! We were dealing with a terrible agent who didn't have our best interest at heart. He was difficult to get a hold of and was always late with paperwork. Because of those delays we missed out on 3 houses. I was ready to give up. I thought maybe it just wasn't our time to buy a house. My husband thought we should find another agent. I threw my hands up and told him to find one himself 'cause I didn't want to go through it again. Well he found Shelly. He told her about a house we were interested in and we met her that same day to put in our offer. I was impressed at the quick response, with the other agent this would've been a two day process. From day one Shelly was always on top of everything! She is quick to respond via text message, email and phone. We never had to wonder what was going on. She always kept us informed. If she knew, we knew. Shelly was our Champion in the home buying process. Whether it was dealing with the listing agent or the loan officer she was there for us. Shelly is very personable, hard working, thorough, down to earth and extremely knowledgeable and resourceful! We truly feel blessed that we were able to have Shelly as our agent. Even after the sale the was done she was there for us. Words cannot explain how much Shelly did for us and how comfortable and confident we felt having her in our corner. She even showed us houses when she should've been recovering from surgery!!! Now that's dedication! I look forward to the day we can work with Shelly again.If you are looking for an agent who is professional, responsive, motivated, down to earth, personable, a master expert in real estate negotiations, resourceful, dedicated, communicative, and funny, then Shelly's your gal!

ZillowVERIFIEDShelly did a great job with my short-sale. The listing was quick and price was competitive. First offer was within days and they offered $10,000 over asking. Credit Union was very difficult to deal with but Shelly and her negotiator managed to convince them to go through with it. Very satisfied.

ZillowVERIFIEDShelly Long was extremely helpful in the purchase of my Fair Oaks home on Timm Ave. She was patient and helpful with a very difficult bank owned sale.The sale was conducted mostly by E-mail as I was in Florida for the closing. I thought after many delays and errors she would sugguest we try another property but she stayed with every disappointment. I would definitelycall her for another Real Estate purchase. Marcia Crass

ZillowVERIFIEDShelly displayed excellent skills in all areas noted for recommendations and would add her charming personality and helpfulness. She appeared to know the areas well as was demonstrated by her ease in having no difficulty finding the listings and locating remotes for entering the homes. Her expertise was apparent by her knowledge about home appearances; repairs needed and approximate cost for repairs; quality of the home for asking price and location; property location and proximity to trains, buses, schools, shopping centers; industry, railroads, and freeways; and of great import: the impact of being close to those items listed. She quickly responded to questions or to give additional information via email, texts, or phone calls. She showed great effective negotiating ability for setting up the sale process with loan officer and property realtor and getting the seller to agree to a list of items that needed to be fixed or removed from the premises. I have worked with various Real Estate Professionals in the past and she appeared to have it 100 percent on the ball in comparison. I was very pleased with her service and I would highly recommend her. I give her Five Stars in all areas.

ZillowVERIFIEDShelly helped us buy and (short) sell our first house. Shelly is honest, direct, knowledgable, and extremely timely. We never had to go looking for her to give us an update because she told us before we asked. She listened to us and guided us through both processes. In both instances, she exceeded our expectations.
