“I could NOT have accomplished all of this without Shar by my side. Everything about this home-buying experience from start to finish worked out in my favor as the buyer, thanks to Shar’s brilliant realtor negotiation skills. I am so incredibly proud and happy in my new home, and I will be forever grateful for Shar’s enthusiasm, support and go-getter attitude.”

“Only 5 stars because 10 stars were not an option. Shar came highly recommended by our loan officer, as she had experience in getting VA offers approved. With her positive attitude and upbeat spirit, she was a pleasure to work with. As a first-time homebuyer, I had no idea what the process was like, and Shar was patient and informative and explained each step along the way, so I was able to make educated decisions. She was also able to calm my nerves more times than I can count. With the housing market as crazy as it is in California, we were thrilled to be able to get an offer accepted on a beautiful home that met all our needs. When we were struggling with a timely closing due to VA delays, Shar came through not only with updates to and from the sellers, but she was also able to get in touch with the VA rep handling our file and was able to get him to expedite his review. With Shar’s help, we were able to close the deal on our first home purchase, and we are moving this week! Thanks for everything!”

“Shar was so very helpful from the beginning of the process to the close of escrow. All aspects of the sale of my home went smoothly. She even helped to clear out the house in the final days, so escrow could close on time. I would recommend her to my best friend.”

– Robert H.

“My house was in probate when I first contacted Shar about selling my property. She worked diligently in obtaining the best possible deal for me. In fact, she negotiated a $10,000 increase over the original asking price. I would highly recommend Shar to anyone who may be in the market to buy a house or sell an existing one.”

– Dave B.

“I reached out to Shar when I was looking to sell our house and move into something bigger. We discussed what we would have to do to get our own house ready to sell and what we were looking for in our new home. After a week or so, Shar found the exact house that we were looking for, and with her help, we made an offer which was accepted after a few days! Our own home was listed for market value and was negotiated up to more than we had hoped for. Shar closed both properties on time and on budget. She was there every step of the way and handled everything in a very professional timely manner, THANK YOU!”

– Chris O.

“Second property Shar has sold for our family. The process was quick and easy. Happy with the price and the professional manner in which it was done. A one-day showing, multiple offers and sold within a week. Couldn’t be happier!!”

“Shar was an essential part of the team that helped us buy our first home together. She regularly filled us in with current information on ‘hot properties’ in the range that we were looking for. She regularly updated us on current listings but was never pushy or overly aggressive. When she really found the right spot for us, she helped us cut to so much ‘red tape’ in order to start the buying proceedings. Shar was ‘instrumental in helping us understand the ‘maze’ of buying paperwork and was always willing to help us understand the technical aspects of this purchase. Right up to the closing day, Shar was there to assist us in making sure that all the i’s were dotted and the t’s were crossed. What was most impressive, Shar did not bail on us were the ink was dry on the contracts. She has continued to help us with some of the loose ends in purchasing an older condo. She has been helpful in assisting us with credible and professional technicians needed to fix a few old issues. We can only offer Shar the highest praise for helping us with this purchase. She is a credit to the industry. The industry could use a few more Shars!!”

I am very grateful to her, and I love my new home!”

“Shar is an excellent representative of a real estate agent. She is extremely professional, dependable and a hard worker who always has her clients’ best interest in the forefront. She always kept me well informed.”

“Shar and I completed the full home journey together. She helped me buy my first home and then sell it five years later! She is extremely organized, patient, thorough and knowledgeable. She was always available to answer questions, provide insight and remind relevant parties of any pending deadlines. She is honest and transparent, as she both educates and supports her clients while moving them through the process. I was so fortunate to be able to work with her during both of these milestones. I highly recommend Shar Vanderstyne. Her style is individualized to accommodate stages of life and work schedules for individuals or families buying/selling a home.”
