Buying
Sacramento is still one of those California towns where the American dream of homeownership is not only possible, but affordable. As interest rates remain low, and the forecast continues to look positive, it’s never been a better time to buy. We work closely with buyers to demystify the lending process, identify properties that fit the criteria and the budget, and find a neighborhood that feels like home. In tight housing markets, where inventory is low, we work intimately with buyers to find properties before they hit the MLS, and offer strategies and advice for writing clean and competitive offers.
We advise on all aspects of a transaction, from contract negotiations to repair requests and title options. Our goal is to make the home-buying process less stressful and a lot more fun.
Selling
As inventory in Sacramento ebbs and flows, prospective home sellers must adapt to the changing demands of discerning buyers. Our job is to present and market your home in a way that not only attracts the design snobs, but appeals to the numbers nerds as well. We work closely with homeowners to identify the ideal time to list a property, select an ambitious yet attainable price point, and employ creative techniques to reach the broadest audience of prospective buyers possible. We offer a wide range of services in all phases of home selling, and often work with owners weeks or months in advance of listing the property. We provide extensive counsel and assistance with sale preparation, remodeling, renovating, designing and staging. Our goal is to develop a strategy that squeezes every last dollar out of the true value of your home.

Sale Preparation & Remodeling
Most homeowners are too busy to manage their most important real estate asset: their home. When it comes time to sell, the vast majority of them are leaving money on the table because they don’t have time to develop or execute a simple renovation or remodeling plan. We work closely with homeowners to identify and design profitable upgrade strategies that help them get the most bang for their buck. Most importantly, we provide free project management services, from collecting bids to scheduling trades-people and overseeing work.
Investment Properties
Despite the recent housing boom, Sacramento is still a hot destination for income properties, and the options are as diverse as the investors themselves. Some people prefer to invest in high-end neighborhoods, where the tenant base is financially secure and pride of ownership great. In neighborhoods like Midtown, Land Park, South Land Park and East Sac, investors can still find residential income properties that are cash-flow positive with only 20% down.
For cash buyers that are looking for cheaper properties or fixer-uppers, neighborhoods such as Tahoe Park, South Sacramento, parts of Greenhaven and Oak Park have an endless option of single and multi-family properties with excellent returns and low gross income multipliers.
We represent all types of investors, from individuals and families to corporations and home-flippers. We work with each client to find the right property, assist with remodels and turnovers, secure the best tenants and property management firms, and design the ideal financial strategy for short and long-term investments. Our clients come from all over the state of California, as Sacramento continues to offer some of the most competitive, affordable real estate investment options around.
Home Flipping
As with any real estate market, Sacramento has its share of distressed and bargain properties that present excellent flip opportunities. We work with cash and conventionally financed investors to find the best properties with the greatest profit margins, assemble the best team to execute the vision in a cost-conscious manner, and personally project manage the construction from start to finish. Our contractors and trades-people are some of the most competent and affordable in Sacramento.
