Moving to Sacramento - realtor recommendations?
Hoping for recommendations for Sacramento realtors. I’ve been considering a move for several years. I have friends there and have visited often. I had thought it was a likely retirement destination, but working from home during COVID suggests that I wouldn’t necessarily have to wait to sell my little Oakland house and move. I know from news reports that many others from the Bay Area have realized the same thing, and have made Sacramento a hot market. Before I make any big decisions, I’d like to spend some time with a knowledgeable realtor who would show me different neighborhoods so I could get a sense of what I might be able to afford.

We just moved from Berkeley to Sacramento last month— our realtor, Steffan Brown, was amazing from start to finish. Our friends (relocating from Emeryville to Sac) also bought a house through him a few weeks after us and had a great experience too. He is super knowledgeable about the area (though he particularly focuses on Land Park, Curtis Park, Oak Park, Hollywood Park and Midtown), has great relationships with other folks in the industry, and was able to help us craft a competitive offer— we got the first house we bid on, and our friends got the 2nd house they went for (no small feat in a hot market!). He even has a moving truck that he lets his clients use for free. We can’t recommend him highly enough!

We just moved to Sacramento and could not be happier with our realtor. She is fantastic. We bought near midtown but she's also very versed in the suburbs, depending on what your preference is. Her name is Tamara Bish and can be reached at tamarabishrealtor [at] gmail.com. Good luck!
My daughter just bought a house in Sacramento and used Amber Fortier (Lintz)She was wonderful and we trusted her completely.If you google her name you will see many reviews of other people that used her and liked her and see her contact information.Tell her Jenny’s mom recommended her.

You should talk to Karin Alon (www.alonestates.com). She's incredibly knowledgeable about the market and the area and can probably answer a lot of your questions just over the phone. I'm from Sacramento and my family has used her for multiple real estate transactions in the past and everyone was 100% pleased with her service.
As a former Sacramentan with family still living there, I highly recommend Hyrum Gray (916) 335-5019; hyrum [at] golyon.com. I know him personally and he is a great guy. In the last few years he has helped both my mom and my sister buy homes in different neighborhoods of Sacramento.
