My story
Local expertise. Global connections.
My approach to real estate is centered on one simple principle: my clients always come first.
Before beginning my real estate career, I spent 15 years in healthcare as a diagnostic medical sonographer in a hospital setting — a role that required careful listening, compassion, attention to detail, and the ability to help patients through important and sometimes uncertain moments. Those same qualities now shape the way I serve my real estate clients.
As a long-time Sacramento resident, I bring a genuine understanding of the communities and lifestyle that make the Greater Sacramento region such a desirable place to call home.
Combined with the strength and global reach of Nick Sadek Sotheby's International Realty, I offer personalized local expertise backed by an internationally recognized brand.
Whether you are purchasing your first home, searching for your next home, or preparing to sell, you can expect thoughtful guidance, responsive communication, and a high level of service every step of the process.
“Listen carefully, communicate clearly, negotiate strategically, and guide every decision with my client's best interest in mind.”How I work
What I do
How I Work
Selling
I begin with recent comparable sales and current market conditions to position your home to stand out. From preparation and staging to professional photography and strategic marketing, every detail is considered.
Buying
I help you prepare before the search begins, including lender readiness and a clear understanding of your priorities. When the right home appears, I review recent comparable sales, help you evaluate pricing, advise you throughout inspections, and position your offer as strongly as possible.
Off-Market
Certain properties call for a more discreet approach. Through the Nick Sadek Sotheby's International Realty network, I can privately present a home to qualified agents and buyers without listing it publicly.
Relocation
Whether you are relocating to the Sacramento region or beginning a new chapter elsewhere, I can help coordinate your transition. Through the Nick Sadek Sotheby's International Realty network, I can connect you with knowledgeable real estate professionals across the country and world.

In their words
“Working with Eileen to purchase my new townhome in Oak Park was a great experience from start to finish.”
Working with Eileen to purchase my new townhome in Oak Park was a great experience from start to finish. She is knowledgeable about real estate processes and is easy to communicate with. Eileen met with inspectors on my behalf when I wasn't available, and gave me helpful summaries over the phone of how the inspections went. She always returned my texts and calls in a timely manner and provided helpful reminders when deadlines were approaching. As her client, I could tell Eileen always had my best interest in mind with negotiations and contracts. I would gladly work with Eileen as my realtor again!

Local market
Sacramento is a city of distinct neighborhoods
Homes of similar size just a few miles apart can have very different values. Local knowledge matters — especially when understanding the streets, architecture, and features buyers value most.
East Sac and the Fab 40's
Tree-lined streets, distinctive architecture, and a strong sense of neighborhood make East Sac one of the city's most desirable areas. The Fab 40's are recognized for elegant homes, established landscaping, and proximity to local dining and parks. Homes in this sought-after area can attract attention quickly, making thoughtful prep and timing especially important.
Land Park
Classic architecture, established streets, and proximity to William Land Park give this neighborhood its lasting appeal. Its central location and established residential character continue to attract buyers seeking charm and convenience.
Midtown and the Grid
An energetic, walkable lifestyle close to restaurants, coffee shops, galleries, and Sacramento's cultural destinations. Housing ranges from historic residences to modern townhomes and condos, giving buyers a variety of ways to live near the center of the city. Parking, property condition, and location within the grid can make meaningful differences in value.
Arden
Includes some of Sacramento's most sought-after residential neighborhoods, from the welcoming streets of Arden Park to the larger estates of Arden Oaks and Sierra Oaks. The area is known for mature landscaping, convenient access to the city, and homes that range from classic ranch designs to custom exceptional properties.
Carmichael and Fair Oaks
Known for spacious lots, mature trees, and access to the American River corridor. Buyers are drawn to the area's privacy, character, and variety of homes — from classic ranch to custom estates.
Folsom and El Dorado Hills
Known for newer communities, scenic surroundings, and an impressive range of homes. Views, desirable location, and well-designed floor plans often command a premium.
Davis and West Sacramento
Davis is known for its university influence, bike-friendly planning, and strong community identity, while West Sacramento offers growing neighborhoods and convenient access to downtown Sacramento. Together, they provide distinct options for buyers looking west of the city.
