"Elevate Realty Group operates on a completely different level, both conceptually and operationally"

Steve LaMothe, Denora Perez and the team at Elevate Realty Group in Sacramento are the best.  I have bought and sold several properties in Texas and California in the past few years and have seen the good, the bad and the rest out there.
Late last year I was stuck.  I needed to sell my house but the market was soft, the economic outlook dismal and getting worse, and buyers were scarce at the worst time of year.  My wife and I had been trying to sell since summer.  Early on a Saturday morning I made a few desperation calls and Steve called me back within minutes (shock - a call back!).  He was encouraging.  He met my wife and me on Tuesday with a plan.  He gave us a direct, no-nonsense approach and some choices.  Looking back, we could have signed off on everything right then and there but we took the first step, then another, then another . . . At several points, my wife and I wanted to diverge but ultimately found the original plan to be the best.  Steve's knowledge, method and feel for the market were right on the money, literally.  We closed right before New Year's and could not be more grateful.
Elevate Realty Group operates on a completely different level, both conceptually and operationally, than anything I've seen in private real estate.  I have many friends in the business, even regarding this transaction, and kind of hope they don't finally ask me about this sale because the truth might crush them in comparison.  After our initial meeting with Steve, Elevate had the house prepped in 3 weeks and we had the offer we wanted days after our initial showing.  In a challenging business during a historically bad time, this house sale was the most professional. streamlined and efficient business dealing of any kind I have had in years.  We are basking in God's goodness.
To add another important aspect, never were my wife and I out of the loop.  While we moved the family to Texas, Denora and the action team had us so documented, updated, presented and checked off in our online account that when we did have time to check in, we were usually days behind.  I feel like they drove the sedan and waited on us hand and foot.
Thank you, Steve, Denora and Elevate for helping us.  May you prosper wildly in your expertise as you help countless others.  All the best to you in 2023 and beyond. . .

"We, the sellers, took our hands off the wheel and let Steve and his team drive"

I had a great experience with the Elevate Group from my first meeting with Steve to the time of Closing. I participated in the Trade-In program where the mortgage company facilitates 90% of the value of the home in advance so we can buy our new home before selling our current home. Steve and the Elevate Group were great at facilitating all the meetings, explaining the process and keeping track of the main milestones. They went above and beyond of what is expected from a realty company as they took care of everything setting up the cleaning, designing the house, and scheduling the repairs of the house. We, the sellers, took our hands off the wheel and let Steve and his team drive the whole selling process while keeping us updated through the dashboard. Extremely professional. I would contract with them again!.

"They knew EXACTLY what upgrades and repairs were appealing"

We decided to sell our home after 19 years.  Elevate Realty Group's concierge program was a perfect fit for us since our home needed some TLC.  Within in a few weeks our house was transformed and ready to sell.  We received multiple offers above the asking price within a few days of listing.

Steve and the team at Elevate Realty Group are top notch.  Steve knew exactly what upgrades and repairs were appealing to potential buyers.  They handled the scheduling of all contractors and worked within our budget.  We are very pleased with the end result and would highly recommend them and the concierge program. it!

"Elevate's app and communication were always one step ahead"

Couldn't have asked for a better team to help us sell our property.   Steve and his teams (real estate, construction, home model/design, landscaping) held our hands and kept us informed of the progress from start to finish.  The Elevate app and great communications are always one step ahead of our curiosity on what's taking place.  Steve and his team provided on point recommendation from remodeling to pricing, acceptance, and closing.  From initiation to remodeling and close, timeline was less than two months.  We will be recommending Steve and his team to others and will be a repeat customer.  Thank you Steve.  And please thank your extended team for us.

"I leveraged Concierge from 1200 miles away."

When I had a family member pass away and I was tasked with selling their home, the professionals at Elevate Realty Group were there every step of the way to assist.  It was a difficult situation for me living 1200 miles away and trying to sell a home that hadn't been updated since it was built in the early 60s.  Lucky for me I was able to find Steve and fully leverage his Home Renovation Conciege Program.  Steve and his team decided what elements of the home to renovate for the highest return and to attract potential buyers.  They lined up the contractors, purchase the materials, scheduled everything, and even paid for it when I didn't have the funds available.  We also had to have a very quick turn around with the rising mortgage rates in order to get the property on the market.  It was an extremely smooth process from start to finish.  I would definitely use Steve and his team again if I had a property I was going to sell or if I was purchasing a property.

"An INCREDIBLE team to work with"

AN INCREDIBLE TEAM TO WORK WITH We could not have been more pleased with having Steve Lamothe at Elevate Realty Group help us sell our home. His expertise and knowledge of the real estate market was extensive and he helped guide us through the many events leading up to the close of escrow! He has an incredible team, that assists him in the day to day tasks that need to be completed. Our special thanks to Megan and Amanda. The teams communication and follow up is second to none as we always felt informed. Their website that keeps their clients up to date with the process is awesome! Steve was able to educate us on strategies and things to look for and worked hard to get us a good solid offer. His management skills, knowing what his clients need and want and being able to network with resources within the community are phenomenal! From painters, house cleaners, estate sale help and a home stager, he has contacts that are there to help within the time frames needed for an on time closing. Always very generous with his time and patience in answering our many questions! We would highly recommend Steve and his team to all who are looking for an honest realtor would will work hard on your behalf to help make the selling of your home go much smoother and easier than you thought possible! Give them a call. . . . . You will be glad you did! David & Betty October 2020

"We chose Steve LaMothe and his group Elevate Realty to sell our home in El Dorado Hills (amongst many agents who courted us for our business) and boy were we glad we did!"

Not only did we get multiple offers in less than 2 weeks and sold our home for more than we expected to, but Steve was the ultimate professional and gave excellent customer service from beginning to end. He went way above and beyond what was his duty to help us even after our home was sold and we had some issues with our moving company. He was there for us for anything we needed and his advice and guidance was always top-notch. I would recommend Steve (and Elevate Realty Group) to anyone looking for a professional and knowledgeable Real Estate Agent to sell their home especially if excellent customer service is important to you. I want to add as well that we had sold a previous home with a discount broker (Redfin) and really regretted it. The difference is night and day. When you are looking for a Realtor to trust the sale of one of your biggest assets, Steve and his group is it! You won’t regret it!

"Knowledgable and Passionate about Real Estate"

Steve LaMothe is knowledgeable and passionate about real estate. He is also very responsive and friendly. He made my husband and I feel comfortable during the entire process of selling our home and purchasing a new one. We also worked with Steve's team members, Megan and Terry who are really great as well. Steve referred us to Keith Collins/Movement Mortgage and we used them as our lender. Keith also has a great team and we appreciated Steve's recommendation.

"Our home was listed speedily"
It was a pleasure to work with Steve and his team at Elevate Realty Group. We were referred to Steve by our neighbor and the entire process was seamless. From our first meeting we felt comfortable with him. His experience and knowledge of the market really set our minds at ease. We were moving out of state and wanted our home sold quickly. Our home was listed speedily, and he helped us to prepare our home for showings. He was easy to talk to and communicated with us every step of the way.

"The whole team was Outstanding."
Steve, Megan and the whole Elevate team were outstanding. I decided to sell right at the beginning of the virus outbreak. Steve and Megan kept me well informed and kept potential buyers viewing during a very difficult time to sell. They kept me well informed the entire process. I would absolutely highly recommend them for anyone buying or selling or both!

"Steve and his team were fabulous."
We live out of the area and were selling a rental property. Steve helped to coordinate contractors from the roof to the floors. They checked on the house regularly to insure that the property was safe and maintained. Steve kept us up to date on all work being done as well as the number of showings. When the house sold, again, Steve was there to coordinate everything and ensure a smooth closing.

"I was totally impressed with his Sales experience and his advice on selling my house"
Although I was planning to use another agent selling my house when I met Steve, I was totally impressed with his Sales experience and his advice on selling my house. After considering all options I decided to go with Steve and his office. Wow I was totally impressed , he was in daily contact with me on what approach we should take. We had lots of people at our open houses and it was not long before we had a buyer. Steve went through the entire process with me and stayed in constant contact answering any questions I may have had.

"It was a pleasure to work with Steve and his team in the sale of our rental."
We dealt with numerous challenges as sellers including the shifting of the neighborhood market and the climbing of rates by the Federal Reserve. With many of the macro economical changes, Steve helped us stay close with the overall process by providing tons of data (for our data hungry appetites). We valued his insights but also appreciated his willingness to push back on the sellers during negotiation and respecting our pricing floor (even tho it ran the risk of having a deal fall through). It was a solid partnership where we felt free pull any possible levers. Thank you Steve and Natalie for sticking with the long process and working through all the bumps to finally making it happen.

"Amazing experience!"
My husband and I have worked with other realtors in the past on multiple properties and we had no idea what exceptional service felt like until we met Steve and his team. They sold our house in less than 24 hours and helped us find a new house within the same week. The entire process was flawless. Steve and his team took care of everything and made sure to constantly stay in communication with us during the entire process. They were so thoughtful and detail oriented with everything they did. I would highly recommend Steve and his team, as well as use him again in the future.

"I knew as soon as I met with Steve I wanted to work with him."
His presentation was thorough, current, well documented, and perfectly presented. I could tell he would aggressively sell my home. I asked a lot of probing questions and he answered all of them with complete knowledge of the local and surrounding markets. He's personable, delightful, high energy and conscientious. A great blend of needed traits to handle one of the most important transactions in your life.

"We can highly recommend this team of professional realtors and would expect anyone that looked to them for their service to be completely satisfied."
In our search for a home in the Elk Grove/Carmichael areas Steve and his team were an invaluable resource. Steve's group and working partner, Nicolas, were there when ever we wanted to review a property or had questions concerning the area or that specific property. Every phone call either netted a prompt response and knowledgeable answer to our questions or a quick search for the answers and that was the norm with this team. When we chose the property we wanted to purchase, again, the team was there to support our needs and guide us through the process. It was, for the most part, a smooth and seamless transaction. Nick went the extra mile whenever the situation required it and Steve kept in constant touch with us. We can highly recommend this team of professional realtors and would expect anyone that looked to them for their service to be completely satisfied. Thank you to Steve and his team.

"Steve LaMothe is the absolute best!"
The sale of our house just went through. It was on the market for one day, and Steve matched a client to buy it. He is friendly, competent, thorough, hard working and detail oriented. We were a little difficult to nail down for in person meetings, but his communication with us was AMAZING!! Not a day went by that we didn’t have EXACT details of everything that happened that day regarding our house. I really don’t have words for how great an experience this has been. I’ve heard nightmare stories of buying and selling homes, but this was like a fantasy! Truly, if you will soon be buying or selling, contact Steve. Once you meet him, you’ll know you found your guy. Simply the best.

"He made it easy and exactly what we needed."
I met Steve almost 3 years ago. Since then he’s kept in touch, never pushy, just seeing how he could help us knowing we had a time frame for when we might consider selling our rental home. Due to family and tax reasons we had a tight time frame once we made the decision to sell. We also had concern for our renters and wanted as minimal disruption as possible. Steve and his team simply handled everything as promised. He made it easy and exactly what we needed. Thank you, Steve, and thanks to your team of Brianne and Matt. Cheers.

"The Process of selling and even helping with buy-ing our new home was fantastic."
Steve was highly recommended to me by my dad since he helped with 2 of my father's property sales in good time. I loved the experience of working with Steve and his team. The Process of selling and even helping with buy-ing our new home was fantastic. Steve was on point and through and we appreciated his honest feedback and guidance. Time wasn't wasted and our property went into Escrow within 1 week of being Listed. Steve is fantastic and we would absolutely recommend him to our friends/family and also if we need him again in the future, he would be the one we would seek out.

We got a full price offer within a week with no contingencies! He made the process painless and was an absolute pleasure to work with.

"Steve kept us in constant communication every step of the way."
Steve is awesome! We came into contacted with Steve through a relative. We found our dream home and knew there would be multiple offers. Steve came up with a creative idea which worked out for us to be the winning offer. Steve kept us in constant communication every step of the way. The deal closed last month. We will move in in June due to the sellers kids finishing up the school year. Steve is still in periodic contact with us as we move closer to our move in date. Thanks Steve for all your hard work!

"We trusted him"
Steve LaMothe is an excellent real estate agent. I was hesitant on selling my home but Steve was exceeding patient and waited to make sure my family and I were ready to sell our home. When I finally decided to list, Steve answered all our questions and made the whole process go smoothly. He knew what he was doing, and we trusted him. If you are looking to buy or sell your home or land, I highly recommend Steve LaMothe. He will not disappoint and has a great career and future ahead of him!

"Steve was very good about listening"
I'm very cautious about giving top ratings for any product or service and I very, very rarely do. I'm very picky and always encounter some problem. But not this time. Steve was exactly what I needed/wanted in an agent and he earned the ratings. My home search was complicated by the fact I didn't have a specific city or community I had to be in, so while there were plenty of options in the region, the range was overwhelming. Steve was very good about listening for and filtering through our conversations for what I really wanted in my new home, and confirming from time to time that I hadn't changed my mind about various "must-haves" (there were quite a few). Steve has been very professional, but friendly and enthusiastic. A VERY important point is that he was really good about answering my detailed questions candidly and thoroughly, so that I felt I had a good understanding of not only the "what" or the "why," but also any implications for the rest of the process. That vastly increased my comfort level with the fact I'd be spending more money than I'd ever spent before.
