Allison and her team were incredible in helping us use our VA loan to purchase our dream home. They were great at communicating all we needed to take care of, advocated for us to make sure we were getting the best rates and supported us through the entire process. We are so grateful to them and our realtor for being so awesome and helping us through this entire process. We highly recommend Movement Mortgage!

I was and still am in complete awe of how smooth, quick, and efficient this entire process was…read more From the very beginning, getting set up in the portal and proactively submitting all paperwork early, to the middle, when we were able to offer critical closing terms in tight turn-around times, to the end, when everything came together perfectly. I'm so grateful for Allison and her team. They are all incredibly sharp, friendly, fast-moving, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Allison was no doubt an integral part in my ability to secure my dream home, and I can't say enough great things about my experience. People always say how intense and stressful it is to buy a home, but I am not joking when I say that she made this process truly smooth and seamless. Right up until close, I was legitimately thinking - I don't want to jinx myself, but when does this get stressful?! Truth is, it didn't, thanks to the incredible team I had on my side. Highly recommend!!

We had a wonderful experience with John Kellogg in the selling of our home in El Dorado County. He…read morewas always available whenever we needed to communicate with him, and went above and beyond any expectations we may have had.

Rolanda is a godsend…read more The first time I met her I was impressed. She dressed and spoke professionally, and was very warm and friendly. She came completely prepared with paperwork about the listing process (we were selling our home in North Highlands) and had created comparables of homes that had sold in our area. This helped us see similar homes that had sold near us and gave us a concrete grasp of what we could list the home for. Included with her services were staging and landscaping. We had purchased a fixer-upper and didn't have the means to work on the yard so we were going to need her help. Her landscaping team trimmed and mowed the yard along with the overgrown plants we had. The facelift was just enough to give the outside of the home a nice crisp and clean look. She and her team used mostly our furnishings to stage the house, tied in with a few of their items, which elevated the look of our home. So much so that it made me sad we were listing it! The first weekend of having our home listed Rolanda hosted an Open House. That week we received 4 offers over the asking price! Rolanda had reassured us that the market was still hot and that we could get what we were asking for and the offers exceeded our expectations. The initial four offers didn't pan out due to difficulties convincing my husband to sell (we were selling due to divorce and he changed his mind during the process). Rolanda stuck with us through 11 offers (!!!) and I know that there isn't another realtor out there who could have exercised the patience she did throughout the process. Rolanda is hands down the best realtor I could have asked for. Her communication was outstanding. She answered any questions we had. She was flexible and always had a positive attitude. She was able to navigate a touchy situation with unwavering professionalism and compassion. I would 1000% recommend her whether buying or selling a home. She will get the job done!

Five stars is not enough for Rolanda and her team. From start to finish she was knowledgeable and…read morethorough. She really understood my family's needs and helped us find the perfect home.

Olga Beniakoff of HomeSmart Icare Realty is a disreputable realtor - steer clear…read more We offered on a house she was listing, but lost out to another buyer after a multiple counter-offer situation. No problem, it's the market. Our agent gets a call two days later - the deal was falling through and it's ours if we send a new addendum for the same price and terms. Ok, done. Two days later it's sold to yet another buyer, on terms we would have matched. We get it, it's a crazy market, so reputation and ethics matter even more. Olga Beniakoff's actions make it clear that she was playing with us and the other buyers, showing a total lack of ethics. There are other brokerages to do business with, and other agents.

As soon as we said "go", she was already 10 steps ahead on getting the ball rolling! She was busting butt day & night to help us find exactly the home we were looking for. She was reliable, honest and a pleasure to work with!! Ashlyn made the whole experience fun & memorable for us. You're in great hands with Ashlyn!!

I wish I could rate higher than 5 stars because 5 truly is not enough to recognize Ashlyn for all…read morethat she does for her clients! She goes above and beyond which is why I knew that she HAD to be our realtor as we set out on the adventure to buy our first home. She is one of the most dedicated, hardworking people I know. All the behind the scenes work she does definitely does not go unnoticed throughout the home buying process. One thing that I makes Ashlyn stick out among the rest is that she takes her time getting to know her clients. She is personable which makes the whole process seem less scary! Also, did I mention that she set up photos for us on closing day!? How cute is that!? (see below!) Not to mention the personalized sign, a bottle of wine, and a iRobot Roomba as a housewarming gift! I was literally shocked at how generous and thoughtful she was! Again, I can't imagine doing this process with anyone else. I already know that if/when it is time to move onto the next house adventure, Ashlyn will be apart of it. I am forever grateful for Ashlyn for helping us find our first home. She is definitely apart of our family now (sorry girl!) and of course, is always welcome over! We love you Ashlyn! Love, The Carrs
