We retained Shana for three real estate transactions. She was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was incredibly responsive, professional, and hard working. For one of our properties that we were trying to sell, the potential buyer dropped out, but Shana immediately had another buyer lined up with another terrific offer. Working with her made each transaction smooth and efficient. I highly recommend using Shana Gates for your future real estate needs!

Jesica Lopez was extremely helpful and patient. As first time buyers, there is a lot of lingo we didn’t know and she made sure we fully understand everything in the process. She made us feel like family by taking care of us and every detail during closing time. I would definitely recommend Jesica Lopez, she is and amazing realtor.

I have known Shana for a long time, she helped me find my first house and made it and easy smooth purchase. Then when I got married she helped sell my wife’s house and again made that smooth and easy. We recently bought another house and has help find the perfect house the the family and handled everything from start to finish. Now we are selling my first house and her marketing skills are making it easy for us also. Shana is a great person and after working with her I am happy to call her my realtor and friend. If anyone every needs a realtor I highly recommend her with my full guarantee that they will not be disappointed.

My husband and I are 1st time homebuyers and originally sought out Shana specifically for her experience with foreclosures. We were pleasantly surprised by her extensive knowledge and unique experience she brought to the table. We interviewed numerous realtors up and down the valley. My husband and I knew going in to this we were going to be a tall order for whoever was willing to take us on. The two of us tend to be very thorough, and particular with our decisions. Not to mention we started very broad with our location choice. Shana was extremely patient with us and always was professional and prepared when meeting with us. When our schedules were limited she literally scheduled full days at a time for us to knock out multiple homes so we wouldn't miss out on opportunities because of our lack of availability. Let me tell you those were some long days! Especially having my 7 month old trucking along with us. Shana listens to your thoughts, wants and needs and finds options to fit all of YOUR criteria. She's not just out to make the sale. I especially appreciated seeing homes with her because of her eye for renovation. We envisioned buying somewhat of a fixer, so you can imagine some of the outdated homes we saw. My husband had a hard time looking past some of the funk we saw, like the shag rugs and cork ceilings... Simply, Shana is by far the best decision we made to help us with the most important purchase of our life!

Shana is a hard worker and a wonderful advocate. She worked hard for us as we were selling our rental, always trying to help track down buyers and enlisting the help of her contacts to get the job done. She also worked to make sure that we received the best possible price for our home. We appreciated her quick responses and her professionalism.

Home Buyer
I can't thank Shana and Kayla enough for their help getting us our new and first house. As a first time home buyer, they walk us through and straightforward with the process like true professionals. They didn't take "no" for an answer and fought through a virtually loosing battle to help me and my family fulfill a dream. I will forever be thankful for the experience, as well as the rapport. God Bless and may you guys help more families achieve their dream.

Shana is very professional and always has someone available to answer questions throughout the home buying process, which for them does not end after the sale is completed. It was a pleasure working with every one of her realtors.

I am extremely please with the job Shawna did. Expecially there some difficult times at end of sale which she intervened on my behalf to take it off my back and put it on hers and took care of it is a very timely manner so there was no interruption during my move.

Shana Gates is amazing at her job. I don't believe she is just a real estate agent, she goes above and beyond for all your real estate needs. We personally have completed five housing transactions with Shana. Buying and selling of investment and personal properties. Her and her staff walk you through everything, to keep it as simple as they can. She works day and night. I can call or text her in the early AM hours an she is just grinding away. Even on the Completion of a transaction she surprises me with congrats gifts and well wishes. She has become a family friend and we love knowing her. If you want proffesional service with a warm smile Shana Gates and team are the ones for you. She stays up to date on EVERYTHING. I wouldn't look any further than Shana Gates!!!

It's difficult to put into words how truly professional and kind Shana Gates is, and has been with the sale of our home. After owning the family home for 80 years, we made the bittersweet decision to sell; Shana and her team were always on time, trustworthy (I never once worried about them having my key or alarm code), and my house sold quickly. The technology is like none other! We are now in escrow, and I've recommended them to family and friends. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Shana and Kayla!
