I want to take a moment to acknowledge one of the very best realtors in the Sacramento region, Irina Shevchenko. Our first experience with Irina was in February 2016 when we sold our very first home. Not only did she sell it above asking price, but she also made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Irina is incredibly professional, personable, and truly invested in her clients' needs. What stood out to us was how she took our goals--selling our home and finding a new one--as her own. She exceeded all our expectations, helping us find our dream home in the area we wanted, at the price we desired. On top of that, her negotiation skills saved us over $20,000! Four years later, when we decided to sell that home and purchase a duplex, Irina once again delivered exceptional results. She handled everything with utmost care, taking the stress off our shoulders. Thanks to her dedication, we successfully sold our home and secured the duplex we had set our sights on. Irina's honesty, expertise, and genuine care for her clients make her a standout in her field. We're planning to purchase another home in the next year, and there's no doubt we'll be working with her again. If you're looking for a realtor who will prioritize your needs, ensure the best outcomes, and make the process as stress-free as possible, I wholeheartedly recommend Irina Shevchenko. Trust me--you won't regret it. We certainly haven't and look forward to working with her again and again!" read more

Irina did an outstanding job!!!! We are beyond happy with our experience working with her. Her friendly, positive attitude was a game changer throughout this whole process. Her many years of experience proved to us how important it is to have a knowledgeable agent working on your side. We were selling our home in the East Bay area, and at the same time, we were looking to purchase a house in Roseville. This was all around the holiday season Thanksgiving/Christmas. This was also when the prices of the homes were changing rapidly. To say it was a little stressful would be an understatement. But, Irina was such a delight to work with, she went over and above to make sure our home was sold for top dollars, and at the same time was helping us find our new dream home. We had a lot of "wish list" for the new property, and she made sure it had everything and more. She has helped so much during the very stressful times and made sure we were always taken care of. She made us feel like we were the only customers she was working at that time. She made us feel very important, made sure we understood the whole process, and was always available to speak to us if we had any questions, even if it was after hours. I am writing this review sitting in my dining room, in our beautiful dream home in Roseville. Irina,THANK YOU soooo much!!! read more

I'm sad Yelp only allows 5 stars, this agent deserves soo much more! Irina was such a pleasure to work with, I honestly couldn't have found a better realtor. My husband and I have been searching high and low for our perfect home, and Irina was patient enough to show us more than 100 houses. I know your thinking that's crazy but buying a house, and let me emphasize- first house as husband and wife is a big BIG deal, I know you can't have it all and at the same time stick to your budget but with Irinas help it was possible. She was very persistent and patient with us through out these last months of endless searching, and never made us feel rushed which as buyers made us feel so comfortable. She was always honest giving her professional opinion and guided us towards the right investment. Which obviously entailed more work for her but she always looked after our interest, which is what you desire from a realtor. Thank you Irina for helping us find our dream home. If you or a loved one are looking for a realtor who works in YOUR favor than your search ends here. Irina treats you like family not a transaction. Give her a call you won't regret it. read more

I CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT IRINA! She is an excellent negotiator and a market expert! My husband and I were so overwhelmed when we decided to sell our home/looking for a new one. We haven't been through this process for almost 10 years and had no clue how the market was. We contacted many agents before finding Irina and I can honestly say I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! She was there for us whenever we needed her and answered literally every single call, text, and email. She is an utmost professional and guided us instead of pressuring us (unlike most agents) and is completely honest about each stage of the process. When we finally closed the deal, she sent us adorable postcards (that are now hanging on our refrigerator) and treats. She didnt just try and make fast cash but invested in her time and energy to really get to know us and become our friends. She helped us find our dream home in Lincoln and if we ever plan to buy a vacation home or do ANY other real estate transactions I will immediately call Irina. We could not be happier! read more

"My name is Pathudin and my wife is Naida. We bought a house in March 2018. Our friends recommended us a realtor - Irina Shevchenko. We are very grateful to our friends for the recommendation and to Irina for her work. Irina is an extraordinary realtor with extensive experience. After talking with us, she understood what kind of home we wanted and within only 10 days found a better one than we thought. We still can not get enough of this house & all our friends love it very much too. This year we decided to buy another house for our son and again turned to Irina. This time she went above and beyond and surprised all of us with her professionalism. She found an amazing home once again, while also helping to speed up the design of the house. In both cases, the deal was closed within 25 days. I heard from many people their complaints and problems when buying a house, but when you work with Irina there is nothing but calmness. I confidently recommend everyone to contact and work with only her!" read more

My wife and I interviewed 5 different agents before finally choosing Irina to sell our house. Irina really does her homework and knows this business inside and out. What impressed my wife and I the most was Irina was not afraid to say no to our original listing price, of course my wife an I wanted it higher because of all the improvements and renovations we did, but she explained why in the long run it would actually hurt us by having it sit on the market so long. Others realtors were more than happy to agree with us on the price as long as we agreed to work with them, overall they just wanted a check. Irina was honest and to her, it was more important to actually sell our home than just list it. Her assistant Nickole was also very helpful and did an impressive job with the marketing and had the best photography and video. Not only did she sell our home in SEVEN DAYS, we also received multiple offers, I would highly recommend her and we are so thankful to have found her. read more

Working with Irina was the best decision we could have made! From the very first conversation with her, we knew we found the right agent for us. She is experienced, professional, hard-working, and she won us over with her positive and strong personality. As first-time home buyers, we had zero knowledge about the process and felt very nervous. Irina was always there for us and made us feel supported. She explained to us all the details, nuances, and options we had. We were also impressed with her negotiation skills. Irina cares deeply about finding the right and the best deal for her clients. We had a long wishlist of everything we wanted in our dream home, and even in this competitive market, Irina went above and beyond to find a perfect home for us -- all in less than 3 weeks. We couldn't be more grateful for Irina's support. Home buying can be fun and easy if you do it with the right agent! read more

My family came from Washington and we tried to rent first but nothing was working out and struggled to find anything for a couple months. We decided to find a house and got recommended Irina Shevchenko to help us. She was a blessing, so willing to help and very efficient in the buying process. She made sure to take care of everything, including negotiating the selling price with our smaller budget. I can't speak highly enough of Irina Shevchenko as our real estate agent. Her professionalism, knowledge, honesty, integrity and hard work ethic is very much appreciated and respected. She is detail oriented, good with people, and found the perfect fit to be our home. I am not sure how you can have a better agent than Irina and her USKO Realty team. If we ever need to sell our current home, we know exactly who to call when the time comes! read more

One of the best things about Irina- she is always accessible. She always responds to my emails, texts, and phone calls right away. Considering we were buying our first home, there was a lot we didn't know. On nights when I was stressed about the process of buying a home, I would call her expecting to just leave a voicemail so she could return it the next morning but she would always answer! This really put my husband and I at ease and made us feel like we were in good hands. You can also tell she's really skilled in negotiating and keeping her eye out in market trends. I don't know about you but I would only want to work with a Real Estate Agent who is a "go-getter", personable, intelligent, a great listener, and is up for a challenge, and Irina was just that. 10/10 would highly recommend read more

Irina acted like true professional! This is why I'm saying so: 1. Two times asked her to find something for us- and two times she brought us best of the best on the first shot, I cannot explain how happy we are! 2. 22 years of experience let everyone know about itself - nothing redundant...so you won't spend your precious time on silly guesses 3. helped us to get $100k+ price reduction... I can show papers...signed for 700k sold for 553 4.She fought with money lenders for the better rates, but it was initially good so I was OK From the first day she prove to be honest and did everything to get a house for us. It is second time she helped us when nobody could do so. So I really thankful to God and Irina! Hope to work with her again on the next deal! read more

This is the third time Irina has helped my family purchase a house and every time we go back to her because she is the best at what she does! Her enthusiasm, professionalism and patience with us always gave us the confidence that we are making the right decision. Irina is so knowledgeable and supportive throughout the whole process, from searching for the house we wanted, to negotiation and closing on the deal. She went above and beyond for us and got us an amazing deal on the purchase of our dream home in this competitive market, which we are so thankful for. We highly recommend Irina and her team as your realtor. She will exceed your expectations without a doubt. Thank you so much for being so supportive and helpful every step of the way Irina! read more

Irina was recommended to us by my family member. We have found a piece of land that we fell in love with yet it was way above what we could afford. I could not have imagined that she would be able to work out an amazing deal for us, even below the maximum price that we could afford. Her professionalism and quickness to reply and negotiate was amazing. Super kind and sweet. I most definitely recommend her, you will not be disappointed. She will put everything into pleasing her client. In my case she sent chocolate cookies to the sellers and worked herself into their hearts and was able to negotiate and drop an amazing $108,000 from the asking price. I am still in awe and beyond grateful to God for sending her my way. Thank you Irina! read more

If you're looking for a realtor that will work on your behalf with honesty and zealousness then I highly recommend Irina. Buying a home is a very uncertain and terrifying time and a knowledgeable realtor will make this process less stressful. With a 20 year experience under her belt, Irina has seen it all and has faced every obstacle with a winning attitude. What I appreciate most about Irina is that as soon as you meet her you quickly realize that she is a person of integrity and strong character. I can personally attest to how deeply she cares for her clients not because that's her job but because that is who she is. I fully trust my buying/selling ventures into Irina's reliable hands. read more

In 2004, a friend referred my husband and I to Irina when we were looking to buy a home in Placer County after living in the Bay Area for so long. After meeting Irina in our first appointment we knew she was a God send. Irina made our purchase extremely easy, and is the best Real Estate Agent we have had to this day! Now fast forward to 2017 she helped us sold our house $10,000 OVER ASKING PRICE AND LESS THAN 2 WEEKS! Yes that's right less than 2 weeks! I still call her to this day for investing, real estate advice, and questions about the market.

This is my first experience in buying a house and I am very glad that I am going through this path with Irina. Now I know for sure that if you have a professional, experienced, attentive to detail real estate agent next to you, then choosing a house, choosing a design, communicating with the home builder will not cause fear and stress. I am very grateful to her that if any question arises, Irina is always in touch and ready to give an answer. Definitely, the process of buying a house is very interesting and can be stress-free. But only if you have a real estate agent like Irina with you. read more
