“Update January 2026—- We Love LuAnn! My husband and I worked with LuAnn on a condo purchase, in a lovely neighborhood that she is familiar with and has family ties in. We had been hoping to find a condo in the area for some time and knew we needed to work with LuAnn to secure our purchase. LuAnn helped us get our offer accepted, and escrow closed in record time. This was our third transaction working with LuAnn, and over the years she has stayed on top of her game! She is still the most market savvy, sharp and knowledgeable agent in the area, with a bounty of crucial contacts and resources at the ready. I feel that LuAnn’s experience and top notch reputation gave us a boost over the other offer the seller was reviewing. Once our offer was accepted, we received clear communication from LuAnn’s team for what was to come during the process, a detailed step-by-step review of what we needed to do to have a smooth transaction and close escrow on time. Although we closed escrow over the holidays, and for most people it is a taxing time of the year, LuAnn was so cheerful and hilarious throughout it made it so much less stressful for us! Her positive attitude was infectious and so appreciated. We love working with LuAnn and would recommend her to anyone searching for a home in the Sacramento area. ***Update —July 2023******************* 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!*********** 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 communication and negotiation skills were second to none! She brought her many years of experience to every aspect of the transaction. All of her advice and guidance helped us so much, and I will always be so grateful to LuAnn for how this sale impacted our family. LuAnn is the very best.”
“LuAnn always delivers. LuAnn has facilitated the sale of two of my houses so far. I will continue to use her whenever I have a house that I need to sell. She brings a little more confidence to me that I really appreciate. Selling a house can be a stressful situation, but with LuAnn she always has a plan of action that makes the process so much easier! She knows the market, she knows so many strategies for accomplishing the task, and she always looks out for her client. I always know that I will get the best service with LuAnn and that the sale of my house will go in the best possible way with her! She and her team are always right on top of things and I appreciate them so much!”
“Awesome experience. LuAnn and Dennis were awesome. I’m very glad I stumbled across LuAnn’s website and I would definitely work with these folks again. Thank you for all your help in our first home purchase!”
“Consummate Professional. Having bought or sold over a dozen properties, I know the agent can make or break a deal... especially as the seller. Online research, lead to a hand full of Agent interviews (first property I've sold in Sac market)... and ultimately chose LuAnn. Every other agent arrived at our initial meeting with the usual: fliers, literature, market comparison etc, and before we even meet... determined what our house was worth. They hadn't seen the inside yet, could be trashed, old, or remodeled. Anyone can print fliers, and list on the big online marketplaces. I was looking for that personal touch. What differentiated them. Luann was different from the moment we meet. I recognized she was interviewing me as a client, as much as I was interviewing her. LuAnn now knew the homes background (rental since new), and we were interested in it's value AS IS, as well as with minor, or full remodel. She provided comps based on each potential scenario. With a plan for a full remodel to meet local tastes to compete with both resales, and nearby New homes, we started into a multi-month rehab. LuAnn check in with us regularly. From prior experience I wanted a R.E. team approach. With each person on the team focused on certain parts of the sale process. Unlike some RE teams, LuAnn isn't just the face of her team... she is the primary contact, using her team in the background. While at first a concern, it was untimely the cherry on top. I was interested in a newer listing feature: 360 walk-through. LuAnn said she found better success using personal walk-through videos. I was a little leery, til I watched a few examples. While I had already decided she was the realtor for us, that sealed the deal. It was so personal, it made all the descriptive words in the listing, come to life. Rather than more photo's of a home in a new format, it was a warm welcome, a personal invitation if you like, to come see the home for yourself. LuAnn earned this listing, another (sold), and one next summer (2026)!”
“We had our property sold with 30 days.”
“We sold our home with LuAnn Shikasho and her team during a difficult seller’s market, and their pricing strategy made all the difference. They were professional, responsive, and provided excellent guidance on pricing, inspections, and repairs. Highly recommend!”
“Great Agent. We were moving back to California after living out of state for 5 years. We met with Luann via Zoom and corresponded heavily through email and text. A few weeks before our move we flew out and Luann set aside time 2 days to meet with us and show us a number of houses. We made our decision and she eagerly put in our offers and got our price reduced and solar thrown in. She kept everything moving smoothly and made sure we closed on time. She is a great agent to work with. I highly recommend Luann. 🙂”
“After owning our home for 18 years and it being in the family since 1978, we decided that it was time to sell. We knew we needed an agent that would guide us through the process and wanted someone with a lot of experience and a lot of sales to their name. I am so happy that we chose Luann Shikasho with EXP Realty. She made it about as painless as I think is possible. Luann was professional but also understood it's sometimes hard to move on. She was always available to us when we needed her help or had a question and gave us clear guided and well organized instructions on what we needed to do to get our home ready and what to expect along the way. Her assessment of our home was spot on and her team was top notch and all worked together to get our house sold. She is sweet when she needs to be and a bulldog when push comes to shove. We would highly recommend her to anyone thinking about selling their home. Thank you again Luann!”
“LuAnn is Amazing! This was my first time buying a home and I had no idea what to expect or how to prepare for this new experience. LuAnn was terrific at communicating and guiding us through this process every step of the way. We would not have been able to do this without her. When you're looking for a realtor, you need someone whom you can trust and who has the experience and reputation to negotiate on your behalf. LuAnn has both of those qualities and more. She is absolutely the person you want in your corner. Thank you again, LuAnn!”
“Great realtor. Excellent service. Check her out before hiring anyone else.”
