Testimonials

Galina was amazing. She really pays attention to what you say you want in a house and finds what fits you. The 2nd house she showed us we loved and we ending up making an offer. The buyer accepted our offer and we had our first house within 3 weeks. Galina made our whole house buying process very smooth, she always replied to our million questions right away. She has a very sweet personality and doesn't pressure you into buying anything. She makes sure you are aware of everything going on through the whole process. I would recommend Galina to anyone:)

I am thankful for Stephan Skots the Broker at USKO Realty for his enormous help as well as his team. I lived in Rancho Cordova for over 22 years and when I decided to move back to my hometown, I called Stephan Skots to sell my home. He was able to sell it at an amazing price and it was a very smooth transaction. If you need a helpful, honest and hardworking Real Estate Agent I 100% recommend Stephan to be yours!

Irina Shevchenko from USKO acted like true professional! This is why I'm saying so:
1. Two times asked her to find something for us- and two times she brought us best of the best on the first shot, I cannot explain how happy we are!
2. Irina's 22 years of experience let everyone know about itself - nothing redundant...so you won't spend your precious time on silly guesses
3. helped us to get $100k+ price reduction... I can show papers...signed for 700k sold for 553
4.She fought with money lenders for the better rates, but it was initially good so I was OK
From the first day she prove to be honest and did everything to get a house for us. It is second time she helped us when nobody could do so. So I really thankful to God and Irina!
Hope to work with her again on the next deal!

We wish we could give Galina Bratan more than just 5 stars. She is truly amazing. She did such a wonderful job when we bought our house that we also turned to her when we sold it. Her years of experience really does pay off and her knowledge allows her to negotiate and advocate on behalf of her clients. Buying and selling a home is VERY VERY stressful and Galina held our hand every single step of the way, ensuring that we understood the process and felt comfortable with decisions that needed to be made. She stayed in constant contact with us, answers questions / messages immediately and makes herself available 24/7. She really does handle every little last detail ~ which helped take pressure off of us. Our every interaction with USKO was positive and Liya was also very helpful, kind and professional.
Galina's integrity and interpersonal skills made working together such a pleasure AND she secured an EPIC deal on our behalf.
Galina ~ we are grateful to you ~ THANK YOU FOR MAKING OUR DREAMS COME TRUE!!!

Irina Shevchenko did an amazing job with putting our house on the market. She did a lot of behind the scenes work! During the open house she had people lined up outside to get in to see the house because the house was listed very well!
We received 32 offers and we had close to 70 showings in one weekend. She made the process of selling extremely smooth. She even answered our emails/calls during her vacation trip in Mexico.
I believe her personality, close to 20 years experience in the industry and being super helpful was a huge benefit. Will definitely recommend her to anyone!

I can't speak highly enough of Sulamita and Stephan, and the USKO Realty team. I greatly appreciate and respect their professionalism, knowledge, honesty, integrity and diligence.
I have known Sulamita and Stephan for a few years. My husband and I were looking for a home about two years ago, and Stephan was the listing agent of a home that we both loved. This was during Covid and the market was slow, so we had a lot of questions. Stephan was very patient and provided much appreciated advice. Even though we ended up not buying the home, Stephan's expertise and diligence left a great impression. Since then, whenever a home comes available that meets our criteria, Stephan and Sulamita would reach out to keep us informed. So, we always are on top of what the current housing market trend is in our area.
When time came to sell our custom lot, we only considered Stephan and Sulamita of the USKO Realty team for the listing. The market sentiment was already starting to change, with price drops and increased inventory throughout the region. However, after the property was listed, we received multiple offers within the first two days. Our custom lot sold in less than 15 days and for more than the asking price!!! Stephan and Sulamita were amazing during the process. We were updated almost everyday on the status of the sale, and were notified as soon as an issue came up and advised on how to resolve it. Stephan and Sulamita made the entire process easy and stress free, and we feel so fortunate to have chosen them as our listing agents. We will definitely work with them for any future buying and selling needs.

If you're looking for a realtor that will work on your behalf with honesty and zealousness then I highly recommend Irina Shevchenko. Buying a home is a very uncertain and terrifying time and a knowledgeable realtor will make this process less stressful. With a 20 year experience under her belt, Irina has seen it all and has faced every obstacle with a winning attitude. What I appreciate most about Irina is that as soon as you meet her you quickly realize that she is a person of integrity and strong character. I can personally attest to how deeply she cares for her clients not because that's her job but because that is who she is. I fully trust my buying/selling ventures into Irina's reliable hands.

Just recently, we had a privilege to sell and buy home with Stepan, Sulamita and Liya. They were absolutely amazing! Knowledgeable, caring, straightforward, professional, honest, flexible and informative! They stayed in touch through the whole process and never left us in the dark. It has been a blessing working with them. Agnessa, coordinator in the office, notified us and answered all the questions in a very timely fashion. We would highly recommend them for your buying and selling needs.

We have worked with Irina for a total of 3 home purchases since 2012. Our experience has always been positive with USKO Realty. Not only did Irina help us search for a property for over 3 years, she was wonderful in nagociating the best deal for our family and put in a great effort to communicate with all parties in a timely manner. Irina made every effort to work with us and our preferences, assisted and recommended lenders, Wonderful reasonable priced inspectors, and offered us a great deal of advice throughout our home purchase. She is very familiar with the Sacramento/Roseville region and her positive energy makes the process more enjoyable. We highly recommend Irina as your realtor.

Recommended! My real estate agent was Alina Mukhopadhyay and I am extremely satisfied with her service! The whole process was clear and straightforward. All of my questions and concerns were addressed to ensure I understood every aspect of the process. Alina has displayed a high standard of professionalism and showed real care for people. I felt as if her priority was making my dream come true before anything else.

I had Stephan as my agent. He is very professional. Always reachable. Paying attention to my needs and preferences. He is very polite. He cares. He found me exactly what I wanted. The buying process went very smooth, he also introduced me to a very good loan officer. For me it was like a dream: I went to his agency and gave him my preferences - and everything else he took care of. Next thing I remember is staying in front of the house that I wanted. No hassle, no stress, just enjoyment.
I recommend USKO Realty to everyone.

This is the third time Irina Shevchenko from USKO Realty has helped my family purchase a house and every time we go back to her because she is the best at what she does! Her enthusiasm, professionalism and patience with us always gave us the confidence that we are making the right decision. Irina is so knowledgeable and supportive throughout the whole process, from searching for the house we wanted, to negotiation and closing on the deal. She went above and beyond for us and got us an amazing deal on the purchase of our dream home in this competitive market, which we are so thankful for. We highly recommend Irina and her team USKO Realty for any realty services. She and her team will exceed your expectations without a doubt. Thank you so much for being so supportive and helpful every step of the way Irina!
