Our Ultimate Goal
We have been buying houses in the Sacramento area for 27 years. All kinds of houses, in any condition and location. No need to prepare it for selling, no inspections or fees, or appraisals, and no need to wait for loan approvals. We close quickly, no realtor fees, and at no cost to you.
We work hard to give our customers an enjoyable, smooth selling experience. We are always available to explain the selling process with the idea that while we purchase houses all the time, our sellers may only sell a home a few times in their lifetime. Keeping this thought present, really helps us look at transaction from the seller’s perspective and allows us to anticipate questions, and be prepared to provide guidance with the contract and escrow process. But we don’t stop there, even after the transaction is complete, we help our sellers find housing , and we help them move their household. It’s important to me to hear from our homeowners, and how they enjoyed the experience. Here are a few Testimonials for NewLook Realty from people we’ve worked with over the years.
As always, feel free to contact me directly at 916-206-9989 if you have any questions about the process and would like to discuss how I can help.
Credibility
In this generation full of scams and fake news, it is really hard to find people whom you can fully trust. But for you to be able to spot the real and honest persons, you should strive to always be keen, be skeptical, be curious, and be persistent. You can do this by having a checklist in mind of the things you should be able to find in a person who’s credible. Those things should include transparency and integrity.
You will know if the people you work with are being honest and transparent, by how they act and talk. It will naturally show in the way they act towards you and their team as a whole. It will also show in what they say or how they answer your inquiries. You should be able to recall their words and actions, and if these are consistent throughout the process — from the first contact of the homeowner to signing the contract, and to closing.
Our Pledge
We commit ourselves to the service of our clients and will endeavor by all means to be fair. To the best of our abilities, we promise to never take advantage of any situation of our clients. It is our belief that each of our clients should be given the proper attention and guidance he deserves. We will do our best to be there for you and to help you reach your goals. Together, we will find the solutions to your real estate issues and concerns with honesty and compassion. As one team, let us all try to be respectful and understanding of each other, as this is how each person should be treated and dignified.
