ZillowVERIFIEDWe had such a great experience working with Shemeika to buy our home in the Los Gatos mountains this spring. Even with a tough market and slim pickings, she was proactive, resourceful, and stuck with us until we found the right fit. She kept us in the loop constantly without ever being pushy, and her calm, level-headed approach made a stressful process way easier (plus she kept us laughing the whole way through!). Her network of go-to lenders, inspectors, and repair folks was a huge help, and she was so on top of the details during negotiations that we caught major issues before closing, not after. Most of all, you can tell she actually cares about finding you the right home, not just getting a deal done. We can't say enough good things aEUR" she's the real deal and exactly who you want in your corner when buying a home.

ZillowVERIFIED Selling my Capitola home in summer 2025 was no small task aEUR" high interest rates, lots of competition, and plenty of economic uncertainty. I needed a realtor with a real plan, and Shemeika delivered. A friend had raved about her, and now I know why. From our very first meeting she came prepared with comps, a clear marketing strategy, and a aEURoehow-toaEUR? guide that quickly became my home-selling bible. Shemeika made me feel like her only client aEUR" responsive, attentive, and always steps ahead. She knows the Santa Cruz market inside and out, but what sets her apart is how she combines sharp strategy with genuine care. At different points she was exactly what I needed: a coach, an advocate, mentor, negotiator, therapist, and trusted advisor. She guided me through staging, inspections, and negotiations with confidence and professionalism, making the process far smoother than I was expecting. What impressed me most was her balance of warmth and fierce advocacy aEUR" supportive when I needed reassurance, tough when it came time to protect my interests. I absolutely adore and respect her. If you need a realtor who brings creativity, hustle, and heart to the table, Shemeika Fox is the one to call.

ZillowVERIFIED When my husband and I decided it was time to downsize from our 3000 square foot dream home in the mountains, we started exploring new locations. Unfortunately, we found what we were looking for well before we were ready to put our home on the market. We doubted there was any way we could make this move happen. The magician we found was Shemeika Fox. Shemeika negotiated a contingency offer for the new purchase, and just a couple weeks after staging and super-marketing our home, Shemeika presented us with FiVE offers. We were stunned. But Shemeika's magic didn't end there. Overseeing all inspections; getting repair and remodeling estimates for our new home; connecting us with estate sale agents, movers and more, Shemeika did it all. It was quite a roller-coaster ride, but through it all Shemeika was always at our side, holding our hands and cheering us on. Shemeika isn't just a magician, she is the magic!

ZillowVERIFIED We cannot imagine having gone through our home buying process without Shemeika! Her natural warmth, encouragement, listening skills, and smile are a bonus to her expert knowledge of both real estate and Santa Cruz County. Shemeika also delivers amazing customer service, truly on a level that is being lost these days. We also appreciated her extensive network of local connections to household / property services in order to swiftly handle a number of contingencies in a very short closing period. We cannot say enough good things about Shemeika and having her represent our family as a realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED I cant say enough about Shemeika! She has now helped me with two purchases and two sales, each time the process smooth, stress-free, and even a bit fun. She listened to my goals for each transaction and expertly advised accordingly. Her communication throughout the process was amazing; Shemeika was always available to answer my questions, whether big or small and consistently went above and beyond to ensure I felt confident in my decisions. I highly recommend Shemeika to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She is professional, dedicated, and genuinely cares about her clients!

ZillowVERIFIED I was not quite sure what to expect with the current housing market and once Shemeika began working with us, I was put at ease. Shemeika is knowledgeable and showed us a variety of properties, answered my many questions, and advocated on our behalf to assure our needs were met. I cannot thank Shemeika enough for her professionalism, knowledge base, and her quick turnaround time with the buying process. We now have our forever home!!

ZillowVERIFIED Our house was a challenge: 117 years old and super historic, but only half fixed up. Shemeika was our amazing partner in every step of the journey. This is going to sound like a paid advertorial but I promise you its not: she literally amazed me several times throughout the process. She was able to step into any role called for: - Active listener who got inside our situation, our problems, our hopes - Responsive communicator making us feel we were her only clients even though I knew otherwise - Expert planner and advisor from start to finish - Wrangler of top notch professionals - Morale booster when we ran out of energy getting things together - Confidant when things didnt go to plan - Decorator with a flair for highlighting the best aspects of our home - Director of our own video (which got a ton of views!) plus filling the jobs of costume designer, narrator, extra, and bartender! - Designer of beautiful marketing materials - Trivia master for weird real estate questions - Hard-nosed negotiator - Fierce defender of our interests - aEUR|and just a friend when needed. I dont want to scare anyone, but lets be real: selling our home has been a roller coaster. In part, it was an emotional journey of losing some of our identity (we put 25 years of sweat and love into that house, and fostered two kids there). Its also very physical: finally doing some difficult projects wed put off for years; accepting that some just couldnt get done; storing all our stuff (so, so much stuff); turning the house into a sparkling showplace that buyers could fall in love with; and working through the complexities of a real estate transaction. It was hard. Hard work, hard moments to get through, hard bumps and scrapes (which box are the band-aids in now?). But with Shemeika as our partner, the impossible became possible for us. Without her we might have despaired and been buried in our possessions for decades. Now we know the next chapter for our beloved home will be written by people who care, and we are free and living a new life. In the end we sold the house for over asking price a few days after the first showing. But thats a tiny part of the story. Through all of this, we became close. The relationship with a realtor is strange and unique: getting to know Shemeika was an intensely personal experience, while at the same time knowing that it would result in us parting. I will miss her. Thank you Shemeika.

ZillowVERIFIED We had the pleasure of working with our agent, Shemeika Fox, for our recent purchase of housing in Santa Cruz. We cannot recommend Shemeika and her team highly enough. From start to finish, Shemeika's team demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, which provided assurance and professional guidelines throughout the rough ride to search for a perfect home. The team effort Shemeika put together was a great asset and a reason that landed us finding a dream home in Upperwest Santa Cruz! In the past few months, we had ups and downs with making offers, and we couldn't get away with being totally emotional in the highly competitive local housing market sometimes. However, Shemeika showcased professional and extensive experience in the local market at every corner of our house search. One of the standout qualities of Shemeika and her team was her deep knowledge and understanding of the local market. She had a finger on the pulse of the area, providing valuable insights and guidance throughout the entire process. Her familiarity with the neighborhood and her connections within the community truly set her apart. Furthermore, we were consistently impressed by Shemeika's exceptional negotiation skills. She tirelessly advocated for our best interests and consistently secured favorable outcomes. Her ability to navigate complex negotiations and find creative solutions was truly remarkable. Not only was Shemeika and her team consummate professional, but she was also incredibly approachable. She consistently made herself available to address our questions or concerns, providing clear and prompt communication. Her friendly demeanor and willingness to go above and beyond made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. Working with Shemeika and her team was an absolute pleasure. Her professionalism, local market expertise, outstanding negotiation skills, and approachability make her an exceptional realtor. We wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone needing a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate professional. Go, Shemeika Fox; we thank you so much!

ZillowVERIFIED Shemeika Fox is a miracle worker! She will exceed all your expectations to help you buy or sell your home. I know because she made miracles happen for me in both of those transactions. Shemeika knows the local market inside out and has fabulous relationships with other agents which often gives her clients a real advantage. Shemeika works tirelessly for her clients, routinely going above and beyond. She is a powerhouse of energy and is smart and resourceful. She is always on time and on schedule for each step of the process, she communicates clearly and returns emails super promptly even after working hours, and is always a wise source of advice. She is a brilliant, smart, and fearless negotiator, tirelessly advocating for her clients, but also always fair and ethical. She also knows all the best contractors and trades people in the area and they have such personal respect and admiration for her that they give her clients priority. Super valuable in this age of competition for resources! Shemeika is such a delight, both personally and professionally, that I guarantee you will miss having her in your life when your real estate transactions are over!

ZillowVERIFIED 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.

ZillowVERIFIED i was first introduced to Shemeika as a referral from a friend who previously had chosen her to help him find a home in Santa Cruz Co. She came highly recommended and I soon discovered why. Shemeika is a tireless worker with an encyclopedic knowledge of the Santa Cruz Real Estate market. She is cheerful, friendly, supportive and always goes the extra miles in more ways than I can describe. She also assisted me with the sale of my townhouse in San Jose. Her knowledge and advice was invaluable in helping me through the upgrades. She served as an expert liaison for me with contractors through all stages of the very length upgrade process. She helped to assure that codes, materials and upgrade styles were always optimal for an expeditious sale of my townhouse. You should definitely choose Shemeika! You will be glad you did.

ZillowVERIFIED Shemeika is the kindest, most thoughtful, caring person. We stumbled upon her in an open house and fell more in love with her than the house. We knew right away she was the perfect fit for us. All throughout COVID 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. I couldnt imagine doing this without Shemeika!!

ZillowVERIFIED Shemeika helped me and my family find our dream home in Santa Cruz. We reached out to her with a fairly long checklist of things we needed for our new home and she proceeded to send us listings right away in order to understand our tastes and needs. She sure understood them and within a few weeks she sent us the description of a home (not on the MLS) that we ended up falling in love with and buying. Shemeika had our best interest at heart during negotiations and helped us keep calm and focused through the whole process. She is very responsive and went above and beyond at every stage of this whole thing. We are also new to the area so she made sure to fill us in on all the things we should know before making decisions. All in all, she is excellent at what she does and is also a great person with an awesome sense of humor who is great to be around. Thank you Shemeika!

ZillowVERIFIED We definitely made the right decision to work with Shemeika to purchase our first home in Santa Cruz. If you are looking for a real state professional who is knowledgeable, patient, responsiveness and enthusiastic, look no further. She truly cares. She was extremely diligent to make sure that we find a house that is perfect for our family. She was always there when we needed more information about a property. When we finally found a house that we really wanted to buy, she did everything to make sure our offer will be accepted. and she succeeded in getting our offer accepted. Purchasing a house can be quite stressful, but she made it extremely straight-forward by explaining every step carefully to us. I also want to point that she is very kind and caring! she stayed in touch with us after we purchased the home and helped us during some very difficult time.

ZillowVERIFIED We are so fortunate to have chosen Shemeika as our agent. We interviewed a few agents and Shemeika was personable, professional and clearly cared about providing a good service to her clients. She proved to be all those things and more! Shemeika was diligent in sending us listings as soon as they were available and responded quickly to questions and requests. When we found the home we wanted, she gave us excellent advice and honest feedback about how to best present our offer. We are thrilled with our new home and overall experience. Even after we completed our purchase, Shemeika has still been helpful, answering any questions we have, recommending services, etc. Thank You Shemeika!!

ZillowVERIFIED Shemeika was everything I hoped a realtor would be and more! She made the housing search stress free and fun, answered my multitude of questions throughout the buying process (or sought them out if she didn't know - I did have quite a few), was incredibly proactive, and added personal touches throughout the process which were extremely thoughtful and well received. I feel truly lucky that Shemeika guided me through my home purchase as she not only nailed the necessities (knowledge base, communication, attention to detail, negotiation skills), but also added to the experience to make me comfortable, confident and extremely happy. Thanks Shemeika!

ZillowVERIFIED "I had been searching the Santa Cruz area for several months when I finally clicked a button on Zillow that put me in touch with an agent, I did not know that clicking that button was going to lead to me meeting Shemeika. She called me as a result of that click and my first impression was a friendly, well-spoken, positive vibe, knowledgeable individual. We met at that initial house I had some interest in and based on my interactions with her I kept in contact. Shemeika listened to what I was looking for and was, therefore, able to send me listings in my parameters. She was also able to direct me to some things I had not considered because of her expert knowledge. When it was time to make an offer and get down to business in negotiations, Shemeika was spot on and took good care of me. "

ZillowVERIFIED Shemeika will go above and beyond! She is smart, professional, and knowledgeable. Do yourself a favor and get Shemeika to help you buy/sell! Shemeika sold my property in 2019 and helped me purchase my new home, both on the lower west side of Santa Cruz. She was readily available to take me to see potential properties. Shemeika has excellent communication skills and always seems to be one step during the buying/selling process.

Review for Member: Shemeika Fox
ZillowVERIFIED Shemeika acted for me as the buyer's agent and showed a complete understanding not only of the real estate process, legalities and procedures but also of the emotional toll a house purchase takes on the buyer. We must have looked at 40 houses before I found the right one and she showed up on time and prepared every time. Her attention to detail and expert knowledge made an intimidating experience understandable and reassuring. I work full time and she took on all the weight of vendors, inspectors, banks and title companies. I chose the house I wanted and she did the rest. My highest recommendation.

ZillowVERIFIED We used Shemeika to sell my husbands family home, & to purchase our new retirement home. This can be a very stressful event in ones life, Shemeika was like an angel keeping us grounded and focused. We were proud to show our home during open houses due to all of the helpful hints from our amazing agent. When it came to looking for a replacement home she also was amazing on all levels. Even after the closing she has been so helpful with some of the remodeling we are now working on. I would recommend Shemeika when it comes to home sales or looking for a new home.

ZillowVERIFIED We worked with Shemeika (at the recommendation of a friend) to buy our first house, and she was excellent. She never gave up on us, even though we were consistently indecisive and took many months to find our house. All throughout the process, even when we backed out of deals at the last minute, she was exceptionally professional and calm. She was also always incredibly responsive, taking our calls even when she was camping with her family or at a wedding. And when it came to buying our house, which we love, she helped us beat out 4 other offers to get it. I can't say enough about Shemeika. I highly recommend her.

ZillowVERIFIED We've worked with many realtors and I'm pleased to say that Shemeika Fox is one of the finest we have ever known. She is friendly and delightful to work with but she is also knowledgable about her area, and tough in negotiating and closing a deal. She is patient and reliable. She communicates very well and tolerated our pickiness and indecision very gracefully. After over a year of looking she helped us find and buy just what we really wanted. We are very happy clients.

ZillowVERIFIED I am not capable of praising Shemeika Fox highly enough. I was a first-time seller: a babe in the woods. Shemeika handled every aspect of the sale, some entirely unexpected, with indefatigable energy, knowledge, experience and grace. It seemed there was nothing she was unwilling or incapable of doing to make my experience of the process easeful and trouble-free.
