What folks are saying about Sheila …
Sheila made the process of selling my house so easy. She was patient with my many questions along the way and explained everything so I felt comfortable moving forward. A seamless experience and I would work with her again in a heartbeat! I highly recommend this informed and experienced agent! ~ 8/12/2022 – sammymac34
We worked with Sheila Zacker in 2022 to sell our mountain home in Idyllwild, CA. Sheila is a dedicated professional, knows the market, and guided us from start to finish through what turned out to be a complicated and difficult sale process. Sheila was tireless in promoting the property and protecting our interests along the way. We felt like she went above and beyond in terms of resolving the issues that arose during the inspection, repair negotiation, and buyer loan issues as well. In the past, Sheila helped us secure a rental home, and then later the purchase of the house we just recently sold. She knows this market and every single home in the area. If you are considering either selling or buying a home, we highly recommend Sheila Zacker. Thank you, Sheila! ~6/2/2022 – webmaster634
Sheila was a godsend during our frantic mid pandemic move from Los Angeles to Idyllwild. She was able to thoroughly acquaint us with the area, the homes, and she managed to find us our dream house during a very difficult time. I can’t imagine having done this with anyone else! ~ 4/16/2022 – user3480013
Great local agent on the Hill. She is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Was easy to work with on an incoming move from out of state, staying on top of all the details and communicating everything well. ~3/24/2022 – Matt McIntosh
I was referred to Sheila by a family friend who has lived in Idyllwild for years. Sheila is THE local authority on real estate. She helped us find and make our first home purchase. She was with us every step of the way, including post-purchase for questions about the area, referrals, etc. Go with Sheila, she’ll treat you right! -Mark & Jacqui
We used Sheila to purchase a second home. The purchase was very straight forward and we didn’t expect much from a realtor. Sheila was very competent, kind and professional. After the sale, however, she just kept going. Almost two years later, she is still providing amazing customer service and help with all things Idyllwild. Everyone should have Sheila in their corner! ~ 3/21/2022 – janey53
We hired Sheila last year to sell our house. She was absolutely awesome to work with! Very easy-going, very knowledgeable, very experienced, and represented us perfectly! I highly recommend her! You won’t find anybody better! ~ 3/13/2022 – cjma11
Sheila is one of those rare professionals who is truly dedicated to the best interests of her clients. She exhibited incredible patience showing us properties over the course of over one year. Once a property was located, she skillfully negotiated an agreement to successful conclusion, despite intense competition. Equally as important, she has remained enthusiastic and accessible for any post-purchase questions and requests for assistance. We can unequivocally recommend Sheila as a professional who is not only an expert in her field, but also has a warm and pleasant personality. ~ 3/11/2022 – ggittler1120
Props to Sheila Zacker as a realtor who cares. Helping people find their “home mate” is not just business for Sheila. She puts her heart and soul in the experience. She intuitively may know what the best fit is but makes the effort to not influence decisions of others. Sheila’s passion is making dreams come true for all parties involved and she is skilled and savvy in doing so. And if you are really lucky – you get a good friend too. ~ Dennie Ohrazda –
Sheila was the best introduction to Idyllwild/Pine Cove that there could ever be. She helped to turn a faint dream of finding a cabin in the mountains into a wonderful reality. She instantly understood what we were looking for, and once we took a first look at our cabin, we knew right away that this would be our home. Sheila also made the purchasing and escrow process the easiest we had ever experienced. She is such a wealth of information, not only for the mountain region, but of real estate know-how. This year we decided to purchase a second cabin that needed some TLC and began to refurbish it. Again, she found the ideal place for us – which was NOT on the list of places to view that day, but again just had that “right” feeling to it. Once more, the process was simple and quick. Her explanations are thorough, and she is straightforward about technical details. But it’s not just her professionalism and experience that we enjoy – she has become a dear friend. The friendliness she shows to all is genuine. We would recommend Sheila to anyone without hesitation, and you may also end up among her group of friends. ~ Ginny Hellerud
I just wanted to thank you so much for finding me the perfect home in your “magical” community of Idyllwild …. you were wonderful to work with and I really appreciated the fact that you spent the time getting to know me and knew what I wanted better than I did! You were with me every step of the way and I know that I can still rely on you to answer any questions or concerns I might have concerning my property …. and how nice to work with someone who obviously loves her community! You are a great ambassador for the whole town!! I look forward to sending prospective clients your way for I know you will give them the same great service that you gave me! ~ Celia Bonney
After many years of vacationing in Idyllwild, it was in March 2012 that I knew I wanted to purchase a home here and not just visit. My daughter Susan and I were going to share this home. The agent my daughter used for vacation rentals recommended Sheila Zacker. We came up and met Sheila and got the process started. I have never purchased a home before and knew very little of this process! Sheila had so much knowledge of the area and what would be the best for us now and future years. I did want to see houses from the web sites and Sheila had so much patience taking us all around the area. She just knew what would “fit” the best. Her communication with me over this process was outstanding and Susan & I now have the perfect Idyllwild home. Thank you Sheila for all your help, Marsha & Susan Freed
When we were looking for our cabin in Idyllwild, we were fortunate to find Sheila. She showed us several wonderful places including our current “paradise in the mountains.” She knew our wants and needs and found us the perfect place on our first outing with her. We have kept in touch and she has become our “go-to” person with any questions we have about the area or home services. Sheila has become a friend. ~ Rick and Peggy Shaffer, Stonewood Canyon
Sheila Zacker is a consummate professional and quickly found us our first home in Idyllwild. We have since decided to upgrade to a larger place and Sheila has been working diligently to find that for us. Her care and regular communication caused us to quickly build trust in her abilities. Her professionalism and friendliness are a few of the reasons we have come to love Idyllwild in the way we have. I have and will continue to recommend Sheila to anyone who wants to buy or sell in Idyllwild. ~ J.R. Roberts
Realtor extraordinaire!!! Sold our house in under a week!!! Thanks Sheila Zacker Great Job. ~ Jack Peckham
If you want someone who knows the Hill, then you need to work with Sheila Zacker. Her knowledge and insight into the real estate opportunities in Idyllwild is unsurpassed. We worked with other realtors in the past and none of them had the skills that Sheila possessed. Following the purchase of our home, Sheila remained involved in helping us to make the transition into home ownership on the Hill. We will use Sheila again if the need arises and have recommended her to our friends and family. ~ Dolores E. Gonzales, Esq.
Without Sheila Zacker’s help I would probably not have been able to realize my 20-year dream of living in Idyllwild. When the cabin that I purchased went on the market, I was living 125 miles away and working more than 12 hours per day. There was no way that I could drive up to town repeatedly to sign papers or deal with other aspects of the purchase. Sheila did a fantastic job of handling virtually everything for me and her service did not stop with the end of escrow. Since then I have called on her several times for referrals when I needed maintenance done and she connected me with a wonderful contractor who made my dream cabin come to life. Now she is a friend. Thanks Sheila! ~ Cathy Wood
With over twenty years of residential real estate experience myself, I know what it takes to make an effective real estate agent and Sheila Zacker is the consummate professional. Upon my retirement, my wife and I moved to Idyllwild and ultimately purchased a home listed by Sheila. She did a wonderful job representing this listing and showed it to us on several occasions. She helped to make the transaction easy, answering our many questions and working out details with the sellers, including a rent back for several weeks. Her follow- up after the transaction, to ensure there were no unexpected problems, was also appreciated. Sheila conducts her business exactly how it is supposed to be done. She is a person of exemplary character and is truly a wonderful real estate professional. ~ Jerry and Darlene Beebe
Through Sheila we were able to find our “perfect” cabin in the woods. She answered and followed through with all of our questions and concerns, before and after the sale. We weren’t familiar with propane tanks, septic systems, wild animals, and bugs. She helped us through all of it. She is so kind, knowledgeable and helpful. We are very grateful to have found her. Now she is not just our real estate agent, she is also our friend. ~ Kristyn Smith
Sheila did an outstanding job for us when we purchased our first house in Idyllwild and later when we purchased an adjacent property, negotiating very favorable transactions in each case. What made her so special was her working for us AFTER we closed the deal – helping us with such things as recommending movers and painters calling us if unexpected freezing weather might harm our pipes, and keeping us posted on the recent fire’s progress toward our home. Sheila always provides fair and professional advice, and we would highly recommend her. You’re the BEST! ~ Mary and Bob Frey
Sheila Zacker is the go-to realtor in the mountain community of Idyllwild. When my husband and I decided to purchase a second home in Pine Cove, we contacted Sheila, who immediately got to work. She lead us through a stress-free real estate transaction, including everything from financing to inspections. Honestly, the purchase of this home was the easiest I’ve experienced, ever. You can expect more than 100% from Sheila. She will not let you down. ~ Janice Murasko
Well gee, what would I say about Sheila Zacker? She knows the Idyllwild real estate market really well. She is friendly, she worked on our schedule when we came into town and she showed us homes that we were interested in. She is low pressure so it’s like going out looking with a really knowledgeable friend, because that’s exactly what it turned out to be. We got the perfect house and it was right in our price range. It’s been three and a half years and we still stop by to visit Sheila when we walk our grandkids into town. ~ Steve Robb
