I need to add another stellar review for Karen Waggoner. She is truly a professional, skilled, and…read morehard-working realtor.... and does it all with a big heart and compassionate touch. My family recently sold a property as part of an estate, and we were unable to be in Davis for the entire transaction. Karen and her team were so incredibly helpful to us in managing the entire process from A-Z, while we were remote - including lining up inspetions, vendors, and providing a great strategy and plan. Karen was incredibly responsive and organized everything for us in a shared Spreadsheet which we loved as it ensured nothing fell through the cracks. Most importantly through all of this, is how Karen treated us and made us feel. At the start of the process, knowing that we were selling a parent's former home as part of an estate, Karen said "I will treat this transaction as if it were my own parent or family member." And now that the transaction has closed, I can say that she did fulfill that commitment and we are extremely appreciative and grateful to her.

Karen Waggoner is my real estate broker and agent. She was my agent for the purchase of two…read moreproperties and the sale of one. These transactions ranged from 2016 through 2021. I can't say enough good things about Karen and her team. Karen earned our trust almost immediately. Karen gave us great advice and guided us through the transactions making them easy and stress-free. All communications were timely, friendly, and professional. We did almost all of our transactions through email, text messages, and web sites (for e-signing and exchanging confidential docs securely). It was all very efficient and as easy as it could get. (By the way, this was our preference. I'm sure if you have another preference for communications etc., Karen and her team would make it happen for you the way you prefer.) The first purchase with Karen representing my wife and me was for a condo in Woodland. By following Karen's advice, we ended up buying the property at a lower price than we expected. We really wanted that condo and with Karen's help we got it! Given our great experience on the condo purchase, when we wanted to buy another property in Woodland a few years later, we went straight to Karen. We ended up purchasing it far below asking price...again, due to us following some sage advice from Karen. The overall experience was like the first time we worked with her: as good as it gets. Recently (Feb 2021) we sold the condo that we had purchased with Karen's help. This was our first sale with Karen representing us. She advised us to repair some things, update some others, replace a few things, and paint it before we put it on the market. She handled all this including getting bids and managing the contractors. She even brought in some furniture and accessories to stage it. After all the work, which it turns out was a very good investment, we listed on a Friday in the late afternoon. Within 24 hours, we had two offers. Within another day, we had another. We ended up with 3 different competing offers...and sold it for $42K more than our listing price! We are ecstatic about it! If you want a real estate broker/agent who you can trust, who will have your best interests at heart, who will represent you well, and who will be a joy to work with, contact Karen Waggoner. She and her team are the best.

It was really helpful for us to chat with different agents to get a sense of who felt like the right person to work with, and we're so glad to have gotten in touch with LuAnn. She clearly loves doing this job and isn't afraid to give you her two cents based on her years of experience. It's also so obvious that she loves the negotiating process, which was perfect for us since that was the part that filled us with the most dread. Despite a lot of competing offers on the home we wanted, LuAnn got our offer accepted before the showing weekend was even over. If we were ever to need an agent again, we would absolutely reach out to LuAnn. She has a competent team supporting her and a lot of resources set up and ready to go so that she can spend her time on the things that matter - keeping in close contact with us, keeping us updated when things happen, and jumping in at crunch time when people and processes the extra push.

LuAnn knew we were expecting our first baby, moving into a new home, and trying to sell our current home all at the same time. She helped us navigate every step flawlessly and executed the sale of our house with the ease and confidence of a seasoned professional. We trusted her every step of the way and always knew she was negotiating and advocating behind the scenes to help make this all happen for us. We are incredibly grateful to LuAnn and her entire team -- especially Parveen and Ashlee -- for their outstanding coordination, communication, and genuine care in getting our house closed successfully - all in the span of ONE month!!

For four years I had been trying to buy in a specific neighborhood. Suddenly one day the perfect place came on the market and in hours Danny helped me make the right offer, it was accepted, and three weeks later, I owned the home I'd always wanted. He really is knowledgeable and so pleasant people love to work with him. He then took on my next challenge--selling the house I still had. Paying two mortgages was not on my bucket list, since I have not won the lottery. Danny was the partner I needed to get it sold very rapidly--6 weeks from listing to closing--for an amount I was delighted to accept. A true professional who is also fun and pleasant throughout a sometimes frustrating and hectic process. He has great marketing talents to bring in the buyers and the fine touch and careful document crafting to get it done right. I highly recommend you work with Danny Lau. You will be glad you did.

Lori is absolutely amazing! Lori was recommended to my husband and I by a good friend a year or so…read moreback. At first contact early on in the process Lori was very responsive to any questions that we had however at that time we decided to wait and save a little more money towards our forever home. Fast forward to August 2017. We decided to contact Lori again as we felt we were ready to make the move. Not only did she remember us from before she set up an appointment to meet the weekend she came back into town from her vacation (which she rarely takes) and right before ours. Lori came out to our home with a ton of info for us to look over when it came to selling our current house. She laid out all of our options and was very informative, supportive, down to earth and honest. We told her we would think about our options during vacation and would get back to her by the end of the week. We decided that we were ready to sell our current home and look for our forever home. Once we gave Lori the info she was on it, we had paperwork to fill out the next day and just like that the process was started. Lori had an associate assist during the selling of our property and both Lori and her associate Maria West were fantastic! We had the photographer, listing and open house within a week. Three offers by Monday and a decision made by the end of the next week. Once our home was in escrow Lori was ready to help us find our next home. During this process we never once felt like Lori had any other clients or that we were put on the back burner. She was very responsive and took us out multiple times to see what our interest were. When it came time to make an offer and we were second guessing ourselves or changing our minds in the middle of the night because finding a home you plan on staying in for decades is a stressful process, Lori was always calm and ready to tell us our options while being supportive but never forcing us into anything. We finally made a choice on a home and Lori helped us come up with an offer that was hard to refuse and it was because of her patience and knowledge that our offer got accepted!!! Lori also made time without hesitation to take us to the home again to show our parents as it was important for us to have our families see it as well. We had a very quick escrow and pretty much closed in two weeks. We hope to get keys this week and are so thankful for Lori, her support, calm demeanor, sense of humor, professionalism and knowledge.

I appreciated the recommendations she provided me on how to price the home and navigate through the offers. Lori is professional, personable, and truly an expert in her field. I would not hesitate to work with her again in the future.

Jeremy Higgins represented my wife and I in the purchase of our retirement home in Davis,…read moreCalifornia in March 2017. We paid $869,000.00 for the home. My wife and I are senior citizens (67 years old). As a real estate agent, Jeremy knew the following: The house was built in 1962. We were going to do a full remodel . Unfortunately , a few months after our purchase, prior to the start of the remodel, friable asbestos was discovered in our recently purchased home. We asked Jeremy for a referral for an Asbestos Abatement Company and he refused to help us. Jeremy did not advise us to get an asbestos inspection. He also had provided us with misleading information about the sellers during the transaction. Recently my wife and I asked Jeremy a few questions about the misleading information he had provided us . He informed us that he could not answer our questions because his Legal Department wouldn't permit him to answer our questions. Readers of this factual review can arrive at their own conclusions.

I didn't get anything and the box on the "For Sale" sign was empty. The only open house he was willing to do was a 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM on a Thursday. There was no food and drinks. And I found out that even though the roof was sound with zero issue (it was older but had some life left in it), Johnny would tell everybody that a new rood was needed. He didn't make anyone wear the blue fabric boots to cover people' shoes. It was raining and the house was a mess. The house did sell, but to this day I have terrible memories of the experience and I know another qualified realtor would have got me 10/15 % more. A super bad experience.

Whenever we texted her, she would be quick to respond, so I wasn't just sitting around waiting for her to reply and answer my questions. Amy did her due diligence as our realtor, and I felt that she genuinely cared about helping us find the right home rather than earning profits. Not once did she rush us into making a decision. She was transparent and honest about whether she thought the house would be a good purchase or not. We really appreciate Amy for everything she's done in helping us purchase our first home! I would definitely recommend her to anyone who's in the market for a house.
