For buyers
Buy a home in Sacramento. Without overpaying.
Flat-fee buyer service: $9,750, not 3% of the sale price. Your costs aren't tied to the home's price, so our incentives stay aligned with your goals. The buyer-broker fee in your contract, minus our flat fee, comes back to you as a rebate.
Midtown / East Sac / Land Park
Walkable, historic, tree-lined streets with strong demand from Bay Area transplants. Expect multiple offers on well-priced listings.
Natomas / Elk Grove
Newer builds, commute options, family amenities, and strong value relative to the Bay Area. Watch HOA and Mello-Roos in newer tracts.
Roseville / Rocklin / Granite Bay
Top schools, larger lots, and community amenities drive stability. Good candidates for long-term holds.
Folsom / El Dorado Hills
Foothill living, lake access, and master-planned neighborhoods. Competitive for move-up and relocation buyers.
Davis / Woodland / West Sacramento
University-driven stability, value plays, and investor interest. Solid entry points for first-time buyers.
Offer strategy that wins
Clean terms, decisive timelines, and underwriting strength. Clear guidance on appraisal gaps, concessions, and escalation clauses.

You compete with precision, paying for value, not hype.
For sellers
Sell a home in Sacramento. Keep more of your equity.
Flat-fee listing: $15,750. On a $750,000 sale in East Sac, sellers often keep $20k to $30k more versus traditional 6% commissions, with assistance on everything you need to make your home the best it can be and your move the smoothest imaginable.

Pro photos, polished listing copy, and syndication to major platforms to reach both local and Bay Area buyers.
