Douglas Sedam

Doug Sedam was awesome to work with and I learned a great deal about both selling and buying a home. Both transactions were seamless in that what occurred was exactly according to the plan Doug originally proposed.

We were referred to Doug Sedam by a close friend of ours that has used his services many times before. Working with Doug was an incredible experience and he is now our realtor for life!

Douglas Sedam

Doug Sedam was a joy to work with during the sale of our home. We had never sold a home before and Doug guided us through every step of the process to what was a very close of escrow. We are truly grateful for all the hard work that Doug did in getting us out of a home that we thought had very little equity. He was able to get us top dollar for our home. He did this by effectively marketing the home, and bringing a buyer, which resulted in an even greater reduction in total commissions paid out.

Lynn Baker

Lynn Baker constantly works hard for the sale of our home. His professionalism is exhibited by his manners with us and the buyers coming to the numerous Open Houses he holds. Always a positive attitude, no hard sell, just an ethical, down to earth common-sense approach to the outcome we all want. As his clients we could not ask for anything more. Both my wife and I highly recommend Lynn and SBRanchRealty for all your real estate needs.

Douglas Sedam

Doug came to our home here in SaddleBrooke Ranch to meet with us. He initially previewed our home, and then conducted a very detailed listing presentation. At the end of his listing presentation, he told us he thought that he had a buyer that would be very interested in our home. Within 4-days’ time our home was in escrow at “full price”, and we closed 30-days later! The buyer also bought a great deal our furniture and the golf cart as well, all making our move out-of-state even easier for us. We highly recommend Douglas Sedam if you are considering listing your home here at the “Ranch”.

Lynn Baker

My agent was Lynn Baker, he was very knowledgeable of the current market trends. He was very helpful to me on the sale of my home. He is a professional in every aspect of the real estate business. He guided me through every aspect of the transaction from listing to closing. He would respond quickly if I sent him a text message or called him. Top notch customer service! Would definitely use the SBRanchRealty team in the future and have Lynn Baker as my agent.

Within days of listing our home, Doug showed our home to one of his clients – who fell in love with our home. We were in escrow within the week and we saved over $21,000 in commission by Doug representing both parties. The caveat to all this is that Doug negotiated a 6-month “rent-back” as our new home in Colorado was not done yet! Winner-Winner for us and the buyers! Great job Doug!

Douglas Sedam

We were referred to Doug Sedam by neighbors here at SaddleBrooke Ranch as they had sold their home and then purchased another as they a bigger home for all their family to come for the holidays. They were very happy on both the transactions that he helped them on. We needed to relocate back to the mid-west to be closer to our family and needed to sale and move in a hurry. Doug put “the pedal to the metal” and got us where we needed to be in just 45-days. We couldn’t have done it without him!

Douglas Sedam and Lynn Baker were our listing agents on the home we just recently sold in SaddleBrooke. We have never had, in all of our real estate endeavors, such a high level of customer services plus the end result of selling our home in short order. We highly recommend Douglas and Lynn at SBranchRealty!

Douglas Sedam Of SBRanchRealty.com was the BEST Real Estate Agent we ever used!

We met Douglas Sedam at an Open House in SaddleBrooke Ranch that he was hosting. Within minutes of talking with him, my husband and I knew that this was going to be our real estate agent, in the process we were going through, that being retiring and moving to a 55+ community. Being that Douglas and his wife Melanie had lived in the SaddleBrooke Ranch Community for the previous 4+ years he had a great deal of insight as to what this community was really like and also gave us detailed information concerning the real estate market, and then discussing with us what exactly we were looking for in a home. Needless to say, we just recently moved into our retirement DREAM HOME! We highly recommend Douglas Sedam of SBRanchRealty.com!

Douglas had alerted us about “dual agency” and stated that he represented both sellers (us) and buyers on about 35% of his listings and if this occurred, he would reduce his commission on the buyer’s side by 25%. He did just that and saved us and additional ~$4650 in the process. We couldn’t be happier with his service.

When Douglas sat down with us and did his listing presentation, he went through a long list of all the things he would do to get our house on the market, how he would market it on a national basis, and the follow-through once in escrow. We made a decision to list our home with him “on-the-spot” and he never let us down and sold our home in a timely manner.

Lynn Baker was a pleasure to work with.

I had the pleasure of working with Lynn Baker when I was selling my home, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the entire experience. From our first meeting, Lynn was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. He took the time to truly understand my needs and preferences, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

Nancy T.

I was impressed with Lynn Baker work ethic.

What I was most impressed by was Lynn Baker’s attention to detail and dedication to finding the perfect property. He provided me with a range of options that matched my criteria and was always available to answer questions or schedule viewings at my convenience. I also appreciated his honest advice and guidance, which helped me make an informed decision.

Lynn Baker found our dream home.

Thanks to Lynn Baker, we not only found our dream home but also felt supported every step of the way. If you’re looking for an agent who genuinely cares about your needs and works tirelessly to deliver results, I highly recommend Lynn Baker at SBRanchRealty.com

Douglas is phenomenal in his marketing skills.

Douglas met with both my wife and I, and my mother that lived in a nearby community as we were both planning to re-locate to California. He listed my mother’s home and had it in escrow within 3-weeks and as soon as that occurred he listing our home and had it in escrow before it went on the market!
