“Dean helped us buy our new house and sell our old house. He was helped us wade through all of the paperwork with both houses. He answered all of our questions in a timely fashion. Our old house sold in 7 days! I would use him again.”

“Going into the home buying process for the first time felt extremely daunting. However, working with Dean made everything a breeze. He did a great job helping us research properties and hooked us up with a fantastic lender. He explained the entire home buying process along the way so that we never felt like we were brainlessly signing the mountain of paperwork required to buy a home. We ended up buying the first home he showed us amongst many, beat out multiple offers, and got a great deal in the process. I can't recommend him enough whether you're a first time home buyer or otherwise. Thanks Dean!”

“In the past my wife would take care of all of the details with our home purchases and sales; so this was my first real opportunity to see what happens up close. Dean Rinke used the 72SOLD method and explained in detail exactly what the process would be and why we would do it that way. 72SOLD say they will sell your home in 8 Days; we went to market late in the day on 07.07.2023 my home was under contract on 07.11.2023 that is amazing! Dean is a Professional Realtor, not just some guy out to make a commission like the guy that was our realtor when we purchase the home! I HIGHLY Recommend Dean Rinker & 72SOLD!”

“Dean is an outstanding agent who knows his market an all of the processes and regulations impacting real estate sales. He is an outstanding guide and partner always available, patient, and clearly working on our behalf to create a successful sale and closing.

“Working with Dean and Heidi Rinker was awesome! They were both very knowledgeable of the current market, provided helpful tips on how to prep our home to sell and what to look for in a new home. They were both quick to respond to our questions and helped us walk through the process of both selling and buying. Definitely highly recommend working with them on selling or buying your home.”

“I interviewed several agents before selecting Dean Rinker and KW to represent me for the sale of my property. I felt very comfortable with Dean throughout the entire preparation, listing and sales process. His knowledge, experience, and instincts were invaluable. The marketing and quality of virtual staging was exceptional. His intimate knowledge of the area and market conditions enabled me to make timely decisions and adjustments as needed. Bottom line: A five-star, A+ rating in every category. I highly recommend Dean Rinker and KW real estate!”

He helped us quickly sell our starter home and got us into our dream home working within a very tight timeline! He is an expert negotiator and knows how to handle any situation. I cannot recommend him enough! We will 100% be going with Dean for any future real estate transactions and recommend him to all our friends. Thank you again Dean for everything! You are an excellent realtor and wonderful person as well.”

“Working with Dean on the sale of our home was a pleasure. Dean understands that a realtor is not only an advocate/advisor but also an educator, and in those stressful times, a psychologist :) We appreciated his communication style. He knows when a text or an email is not enough and a phone call or meeting is needed. We felt comfortable knowing he was in our corner throughout the various negotiations and the multitude of paperwork. Dean is a master realtor and a true professional. We’ll be recommending him with no hesitation.”

“Dean not only got me the house we were hoping for but helped us negotiate a fantastic price. I put this man through the ringer looking at 4 different cities and more houses than I can count (many of which I was throwing on as I changed my parameters)... He always adjusted and also helped me narrow my focus after analyzing what my families needs and wants were. He's an excellent agent and always looks after his client's needs first. He was also there for every inspection, assessment and event to make sure my carpet installation happened well as I was moving from out of state! A++++++++”

“Dean has been my agent for years. He is professional, responsive, and knowledgable. He knows the greater Sacramento area market well, and works hard for his clients. I appreciated his input in accurately pricing my property. It sold in one day, and the whole process went smoothly. I highly recommend Dean if you are looking for a hard working, personable and no nonsense individual to represent you in buying or selling your home.”

“We started using Dean Rinker as our agent back in 2012. Since then we have recommended him to other sellers, including our own landlord. Most recently, Dean helped us sell 3 rental houses in the space of 3 months. These houses were part of a 1031-Exchange, so timeliness was very important. Exchanges require extra skill and expertise and Dean was prepared. As out of state sellers, having a responsive local agent was very important. When things went sideways, Dean was available immediately to make it right. I would recommend him highly!”

“Dean was wonderful to work with from beginning to end! He said he could find a buyer for my mother’s house within 2 weeks. Guess what we had multiple offers in a week and closed escrow within 3 weeks. He returns all calls and texts very promptly. He is very knowledgeable in all real estate matters and we were glad he was our agent.”

“I couldn't be happier with my decision to have Dean represent me in the sale of my home. He took the time to help me decide on what work I should have done to the home ahead of listing it, and he had great references for professionals to get the work done at reasonable prices. The house ended up looking great and we got a full price offer within 2 days of listing it! Dean stayed on top of all of the details of the deal and made sure that we closed without any surprises. Thanks again Dean!”

★★★★★
“Dean and Heidi are an awesome team. They work together and answer any questions as quickly as possible. Having never sold a home before, we had a lot of questions due to our unfamiliarity with all the real estate paperwork, forms, disclosures, etc. With every question asked we received a prompt answer, which let us know they were on our side and we weren’t trying to navigate all of this alone. Dean and Heidi came to our house and immediately had an idea on the marketing and pricing of our home. After confirming all the details, our house was priced correctly and we had our first offer within a day. Following multiple offers, we were delighted to end up selling for over asking price. Selling and buying homes is extremely stressful at times and the experience Dean and Heidi bring to this process is such a comfort. I would recommend them both wholeheartedly. Thank you Dean and Heidi for everything!!”

“Dean Rinker has been our real estate agent as a buyer and a seller. He is knowledgeable, understanding, honest, fun, and extremely thorough. On our most recent transaction, we sold our rental home. We originally put the sale of our house in the hands of the rental property management company's owner as he was very confident he could sell our house for top dollar at minimal commission. We wasted nearly two months of hot market activity with a listing price not matching the market conditions and very poor marketing efforts on his part. That’s when we turned to Dean to save our listing. We had worked with Dean and Heidi to buy our current home, so we were very confident in their abilities. In fact, making this switch was the best decision of the entire process for us – we only wish we had started with them in the first place. They perfectly matched our home to the local market conditions and provided amazing transparency of every step of the process through their consistent communication with us. Together, they are extremely efficient and ensure every detail of the listing is accurate and best represented what they know buyers are wanting in our area. In the end, we received multiple offers and ended up getting more than the listing price! We could not have done this without Dean and Heidi working together as a team with us, We highly recommend Dean for buying or selling a home.”

“Anytime Dean was with us on the phone or in person he was focused on us and only us. He was upfront, direct, and honest with all his communications. Worked with us to prep the house to its best advantage. I have no regrets hiring Dean to sell our house and help us purchase a new one.”

“Dean is not only very knowledgable about the buying and selling process, he is up to date on IT and social media capabilities. He blends the old school face to face collaboration and handshaking with the efficiencies and outreach of technology to help you close the deal quickly (at a good price) and yet retains the necessary human interaction to foster trust and confidence in his abilities. I would recommend his services to my friends and family , and will most certainly be one of the first people I reach out to, when I am back in the market.”

“After several tries with other realtors who didn't take us seriously because of our young age, my aunt, who had worked with Dean several years ago, suggested we work with him. It was absolutely the right choice. Dean was great, as was his wife. We're young, it's our first home and he was extremely patient with our questions and worries, of which there were many. Whenever we did present him with a concern or question, he responded quickly, and if he didn't know the answer he found a way to get it. He walked with us through the whole process and we never felt that we weren't valuable, or that we were insignificant, just because of our young age. My husband and I highly recommend the services of Dean Rinker.”

“I can't say enough to show my appreciation and gratitude for Dean. He was always prepared for what was to come and new exactly how to address all of our obstacles. In the rare event he didn't have the answer, he searched until he did. He was always receptive of our opinions and decisions. He was always willing to give his input but ultimately let us make the decisions. He never let us down.”

“Just like all of the stars say, Dean is a great Real Estate Professional. He is straight forward and tells it like it is. He helped us sale our house in less than 35 days for more than list. When you speak with him you will be able to see that he possesses a vast knowledge, but the great thing is he can explain it in language that is easy to understand. He is a pleasure to work with and I would recommend him to anyone of my family, or friends. If you are looking for the best there is..... Dean is the guy you want to speak with.”

“Dean is very knowledgeable or say when it comes to marketing plus process details. He's always checking comparable sales to insure his clients (you) are getting the best deal whether buying or selling. What we appreciated is his honesty & bottom-line. Being a detailed person myself it was a pleasure to work with Dean & his wife Heidi. They were referred to us by a mutual friend so we interviewed them plus three other realitors. None could compare with Dean & Heidi Rinker. It's your loss if you don't at least meet with them.”

“Dean Rinker was referred to me by my realtor in Denver whose opinion I highly respect. Dean was very patient with us throughout the process and he's very knowledgeable and professional. We sent him a list of all the elements we wanted in our "perfect" house; with each house we were shown, he asked the right questions and listened very carefully to our answers, and as a result he zeroed in on just what we were looking for very quickly. I think we saw maybe 12-15 houses at the most before walking into one that was so fresh on the market they hadn't even put the sign up. The moment I entered the home I knew it was the one - it had every single element we were looking for in our perfect home! Dean helped us negotiate a price we felt good about, then guided us through the inspection/appraisal/loan process of closing on the house, always with patience and professionalism. We even had a couple of minor issues crop up after the closing, and Dean was still there for us, willing to step in as our advocate to resolve the problem. I would highly recommend Dean Rinker to anyone looking for an honest, responsive, patient, intuitive, and professional realtor. I love my new home and don't intend to move anytime soon, but if I were to, I would turn to Dean again in a heartbeat.”

“Dean was awesome! He was referred to us by a friend and did not disappoint. Though he admits to being primarily a listing agent, he did a wonderful job helping us find our new home in the Sacramento area. It must be fairly difficult working with out-of-town clients (we were coming from New Mexico), but Dean successfully scheduled several days of house-hunting, including one last-minute session that resulted in us finding the home we now own. An added benefit? Dean's wife, Heidi, who is also a realtor and was very helpful while viewing homes.”

“Dear Dean and Heidi, I want to thank you both for your help in selling and buying my homes. Selling my El Dorado Hills home was a very difficult and emotional decision for me. You guided me through both processes, and were always one step ahead of everything while looking out for my welfare. Thank you both for your kindness and expertise. I am more then happy to refer any future sellers or buyers into your capable hands! I do miss my El Dorado Hills home, but I am enjoying my new Rocklin home. Sincerely, Marge Riddle”

“If you are looking for a realtor that is knowledgeable, considerate of your tenants, organized, helpful and just a very nice person to work with call Dean. Our experience on selling our duplex with Dean was fantastic! His expertise on pricing it right to sell was right on! Within two days we received five firm offers above our asking price and walked away with money in our pockets. Through the whole process we always felt like we were in good hands. We would defiantly use him again for any of our real estate needs and recommend him highly.”

He negotiated smartly on our behaf with the selling agent and handled each road block skillfully. His ability to stay aware of various problems and guide us accordingly reflected his professionalism every step of the way. In conclusion, Dean is on top of his game. His knowledge and expertise is beyond reproach. It was comforting knowing we were in the hands of a real Pro in the world of Real Estate.”

“Dean Rinker has been our real estate agent for multiple transactions over the last six years, both buying and selling homes. Dean’s enthusiasm, industry knowledge, and work ethic are unmatched. He is the epitome of integrity. His communication and ability to be on top of things make you feel that your transaction is his only focus. Dean always has time to answer questions, provide information, or offer advice and to this day we still call Dean regarding our real estate questions and he always has time for us. Dean also has a wonderful sense of humor, a friendly nature, and is really fun to spend a Saturday afternoon house hunting with! I have recommended Dean not only to my friends but also to my children which is a true vote of confidence. He is hands down the best realtor we have ever worked with.”

“I've known Dean Rinker for years prior to asking him for help selling my grandparents Orangevale home of fifty years. When asked to be the trustee of my grandparents estate, these new responsibilities required me to sell their home. Being that their home was a place I grew up spending many holidays, weekends and BBQs with family and friends, I new it would be very difficult for me to sell. Not only were there emotional ties to the house but the house was old and in need of repair along with tenants that needed to be evicted. Dean's knowledge and understanding of the situation and with what needed to be done, made the process go remarkably well. Dean was there through all of it. If you get a chance to work with Dean, jump on board. Thank you Dean and Keller Williams Realty. Guy”

“We had an excellent experience working with Dean! My girlfriend and I recently purchased a home. We had a very short escrow during the holidays so things needed to be done accurately and quickly. Dean helped us move efficiently from step to step, helped answer the many questions we had as they came up, and was really great about communicating the status of events and following-up on questions that weren't getting answered. He was great working behind-the-scenes as well and even helped us secure fixes from the seller that we didn't even prioritize as must-haves. Dean was truly a partner in our buying experience versus other agents that I've worked with that do little more than just push paperwork. Work with him, you won't be disappointed!”

He took the time to explain things to us, and was open to our opinions as well. When the time came to put in our offer and follow through with the paperwork, he gave sound advice that proved very useful and timely. I would highly recommend Dean Rinker to any of my friends or acquaintances.”

“Last year, Dean Rinker handled the sale of a townhouse for me. We first discussed the value of the property and the window of sale for the property, and following Dean's recommendations, p[laced the property on the market. Bottom line, we received two firm bids above our asking price and subsequently sold the property. There were some minor problems afterward, but Dean handled them in a very professional manner. Overall, my wife and I will use the services of Dean again and could not recommend him higher. We were delighted with his efforts and will utilize his services again. Bernard Aronson”

Dean kept in touch with us over the next several years. He was never pushy. Just a friendly check-in. In 2012 we listed and sold our two Robertson duplexes in Carmichael. Dean took care of all the "little" details from start to finish! Dean alway retuned our calls promptly and addressed our concerns. We always felt he was working for our best interest. We highly recommend him as an agent!!”

“I've dealt with many realtors in the past, and Dean Rinker is far and away the best. I immediately trusted Dean after our very first meeting, and my intuition proved true. What is obvious with Dean is his tremendous work ethic and obvious commitment to his clients. I knew that he was working for me and not just trying to sell houses. To this day I can call Dean if I have any real estate questions, and he always has time to give me his best advice. Dean worked hard to sell my home, then found the home where I am currently living, and there is no doubt in my mind that I will ask him to sell my current home when I am ready to leave. If that is not a vote of confidence in Dean, I don't know what is. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to buy or sell a home.”

“Our experince with Dean found him to be very honest and he had a great sense of humor. We ended up with multiple offers and sold the house within 4 days. Dean also helped us find our new home in the same time frame because he understood our needs and wanting to be closer to our grandkids. We highly recommend Dean for all of your housing needs.”

“It is with great pleasure that my husband and I write a recommendation letter for Dean Rinker of Keller-William Real Estate. We first me Dean in 2006 when we enlisted him for the difficult sale of our home, a short sale. With his expert knowledge of Real estate, contract negotiations, and persistence he sold our home. Dean was so patient and understanding with us during this difficult time. In 2011, we contacted Dean for the purchase of our next home. Again, he far exceeded our expectations and found us our beautiful home. He made the process so easy for us. From the beginning, we received top notch realty expertise from Dean Rinker. He consistently provided us with the highest quality and exceptional Real Estate service. We are pleased to recommend Dean to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Sincerely, Karen and Kevin”

“It's really hard to select a professional to represent you in real estate transactions. After a lengthy interview period of multiple real estate professionals in the Sacramento region, we selected Dean Rinker and his team to represent us for the sale of one of our properties. Dean and his team made sure that our transaction was handled seamlessly and efficiently. We would definitely use Dean Rinker again. If you are looking to buy or sell in the Sacramento foothill or Tahoe region, give Dean a call!”

“My wife and I have known Dean Rinker for many years. When it came time to sell our investment property we naturally called Dean. His knowledge of the real estate market helped us to determine an asking price for the property that not only got us top dollar, but also helped to get it sold in a timely manner. His expertise and negotiating skills were invaluable Dean is very efficient and thorough and the advice and recommendations he gave us helped us feel confident about the decisions we made during the selling process. Besides being a great real estate agent that you can thoroughly trust, he is also a lot of fun to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone.”

“It is our immense pleasure to recommend Dean Rinker as a real estate agent for any individual or family searching for the ideal home for their unique situation. We loved our house on the hill with its gorgeous view and rustic property. We had our baby girl and things were great until she became a toddler. Wanting a yard where she could run, play and ride a bike, we decided we needed a home on flat land fast! Dean is first and foremost a friend of ours, so we took the opportunity make him our agent as well. He met with us to discuss our specific needs in a single family home as well as our budgetary limitations. He is highly talented technologically and made excellent use of the relevant search engines and real estate databases to quickly find us a variety of homes. He did not waste our time with homes that were out of our price range or not in line with our needs. A master with contract negotiations, Dean came up with a deal that was good for us and made the seller happy as well. Throughout this home buying process, he managed our expectations and kept us informed at all times. We found Dean to be a highly attentive agent, almost as if we were his only customers, although we know that was not the case. He returned all phone calls and emails the same day. We never felt neglected or unimportant. He is also highly personable with an engaging personality. We are pleased to recommend Dean Rinker to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He is hands down the best in the business in our opinion and if we ever need to move again he will be our first choice in real estate agents”

“Dean has been our go to real estate agent for a number of years now. Most recently though we used his services to sell our investment property, a duplex in Citrus Heights, Ca. Dean helped us time the sale of the property so we got top dollar and also made the process as painless as possible. He had great suggestions and recommendations that we used that helped move the sale along. He is thorough, efficient, and very experienced in the real estate industry. He is also just a lot of fun to work with. We will be calling on Dean in the future when the time comes for us to downsize our current residence.”

“We purchased our home 11 years ago with the help of Dean. He did a great job helping us find what we were looking for. He is very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions promptly. From time to time I have had questions like when our Air Conditioner went out and he helped guide us. I also have asked Dean question on the market and our home specifically and he has always answered our questions and been very prompt and detailed. Dean also does a great job of keeping in touch on an ongoing basis which we really appreciate.”

“What more can I say – I found my dream home and I have Dean and Heidi to thank!! I appreciate their communication and commitment to ensuring I was covered in every aspect of the home purchase. There are so many things I did not think about as a buyer and they were right there to make my home purchase a very good experience. I cannot thank them enough for going above and beyond for me!”

He was very responsive and flexible. He genuinely cares for his clients and treats them with dignity and respect. We will for sure be calling on him for our next venture. Mike”

“Dean is the best Real Estate Agent we ever worked with. His knowledge of the market and how to present your home for sale are his best qualities as an agent. We used Dean to sell our home and to purchase our new home. We sold in a down market and by using his advise we were able to sell. He worked well with us and always kept in good communication throughout the process. As our agent on the buying side he represented our needs and we were able to purchase our new home at a favorable price. We recommend Dean for all your Real Estate needs.”

“My experience in selling my duplex in Carmichael was 5 star all the way. He told me exactly how he was going to handle the sale and pricing. I appreciated this as I live in Southern California and was tired of hassling with managing this investment property from afar. He made spreadsheets and estimates of our net out of the property at different sale price possibilities. I believe he teaches courses in real estate as well so he educated me too in the process. I would entrust him with the sale of my future properties and wished he lived in Los Angeles where we could do more business together.”

“My husband and I had the good fortune to fall into the capable hands of Dean Rinker when we were looking to sell our current home and buy another. Dean met with us and patiently explained the selling process and what we could realistically expect given the current market situation. He also provided useful suggestions of things we could do to make our home the most desirable in the neighborhood. We so appreciated Dean's confidence and years of experience that he brings to the table. With his can-do attitude and approachability, we never felt out of the loop or wondered what was going on. Dean was on top of everything and made the biggest decisions in our life less stressful. Terry P.”

Our house hunting stretched over several weeks and months and he patiently guided us through the process to the very end and found the house we wanted.

“Dean Rinker helped us through a very bad time in 2012 / 2013 when we had to do a short sale on our home due to medical bills. He guided us through the process with the bank and kept not only us but the buyer updated on what our bank was doing. Because of this we were able to complete the sale to the first buyer that made an offer. Dean also guided us in what we should do to keep the buyer with us throughout the short sale process and we followed his direction and were happy that the couple who stayed with us and bought the house were also happy with the way the sale went. Dean was a true Professional throughout the entire process and we cannot thank him enough and the stress that was taken off of us because of the way he made the entire transaction happen made a difficult situation better. We ended up ok and are now living in one of our sons homes. If anyone should need a personal recommendation we would be happy to speak to them. Thank you, Dave Sullivan”

“Dean first assisted me when I purchased my home in Fair Oaks, CA in 1994. When it came time to sell the property, he assisted me with getting the home prepared for sale by making excellent suggestions and recommendations. He ensured the property was well marketed through various mediums including maximum Internet exposure. Throughout the entire process Dean kept me informed. His knowledge, expertise and customer skills are excellent. I am positive because of his interaction my property sold quickly and for a fair market price.”
