Sold and Purchased a single family home in 2025 in Winters, CA & Vacaville, CA

I truly cannot say enough good things about the services that Desarae provided during one of the most stressful times someone can go through. Knowing I was in the market for property, she worked with me on a listing that was right up my alley with what I was looking for. This wasn’t just a normal transaction, along with purchasing, I also concurrently had to prep my home to be listed which required her expertise in what would get me the highest yield in a short timeframe. She was professional, detailed, responsive and most importantly calming in every aspect of the transactions.

With her help, she negotiated a full asking price sale of my current residence as well as strong purchase offer on the property I was interested in that resulted in my acquisition of said property. The purchase involved some more detailed steps to support a quicker close and everything that should have derailed it was quickly resolved with her quick action and professionalism. She truly is a diamond in the industry and I would recommend her over and over to anyone looking to take their next step in their real estate journey. Thank you Desarae and team!
