Sandy Bastear
Expecting our 3rd child in a couple of months, we knew we needed a bigger house although we had some time to look around. On a whim, we decided to check out some open houses just to see what was out there. When we walked into the first house on our list we knew this was the house for us. Sandy was the listing agent for the house, and we talked briefly with her there. She seemed extremely nice. We mentioned we were thinking of selling our house, and she offered to come over to talk with us that same night.When Sandy sat down with us, she gave us a very realistic picture of what the different neighborhoods in Folsom were like. We really wanted the house we saw earlier, and she told us that that neighborhood was one of the best in Folsom. We asked her what we needed to do to get that house, and she told us honestly. She presented us with very realistic comps of houses that were similar to ours on the market, and suggested a sensible asking price. 
She said she would list our house as well, but cautioned us: “Don’t list your house with me unless you want it to sell!” She was right! We listed our house on Wednesday, her design stager came on Thursday to help us get ready, we had an open house that Saturday and had an offer on Saturday night! We were truly amazed, especially in this tough market. On Tuesday however, we got a call saying that the buyers backed out. Sandy jumped right back in the ring and got a bunch of realtors to come over that very afternoon to view the house. She set up more open houses for the following weekends. Because of our strong desire to get the other house she was listing, we asked her what more we should do to sell our house. We lowered the price when our competitors did, and got another offer the following weekend! When I told her that, being 7 1/2 months pregnant, I really wanted to be in a new house before the baby arrived she really took it to heart; from the time we saw the open house and put our house on the market to the time we moved into our dream house it took a little under a month! Throughout the whole process of buying and selling, Sandy was in constant communication with us, something we valued very much as anxious buyers/sellers. She was always willing to stop by with paperwork, making the whole process easy on us (as easy as it can be!) I really don’t think she ever stopped working! We would get emails from her in the wee hours of the morning! She was very fair with both us and the sellers of the house we wanted, walking a fine line and wanting the best for each of us. We never felt like she was favoring either side and truly appreciated her honesty and integrity; we knew that if she was acting in the seller’s best interest for the house we wanted, she was absolutely doing the same for us selling our house. Even after the sale of our house and the purchase of our new house, Sandy keeps in communication with us, stopping by to see our girls and bringing presents for the new baby! She gave us numerous names of people to help with everything from house cleaning to pool cleaning. Sandy is competent, knowledgeable, full of integrity, extremely hard-working, and a wonderful person. She has become a good friend, and we would whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor.
