I would give Fernando more stars if possible.

My husband and I had been looking for a place to call home for the past several months and stumbled upon our dream home and dream real estate agent all at the same time during an open house. We have dealt with multiple real estate agents in the past but Fernando is by far the best we ever had. He is professional, knowledgeable, attentive, and personable. We felt like he really cared about our family. He took the time to find out what we wanted in a home and prioritized our list of wants. During the several months that we worked with him, at no point did he pressure or try to sway our opinions about any of the houses he showed us. He was always available whenever we needed him and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and that all our questions were answered thoroughly. It was like having 24/7 concierge service!! I don't believe we would have been able to close on our dream home without his help and attention to detail. I would highly recommend Fernando to anyone who wants a real estate agent who is not only highly skilled and diligent but treats you like family.

My experience with Fernando was excellent he helped me find my first house and with $10,000 in credit from the seller for closing cost.

In this market I didn’t think it was possible but Fernando helped me and guided me through this whole process and can’t wait to do future business with him.

Jay Ramirez

My previous realtor wasn’t as helpful as Fernando.

Since day one Fernando was very helpful with all the questions we had and was very responsive. We were able to find a home and close in just 3 weeks! In this hot market we were lucky to have him on our team. The over all process was a smooth as can be. Thank you Fernando!

Fernando went above and beyond to meet our needs and wants with purchasing our first home.

His no pressure salesmanship, his realtor knowledge, expertise and new community home purchase information saved us time and money. He gave my wife and I the confidence and trust that he was the right guy to help us navigate and find our first home. He took the time to view all the houses on our list, even went 3 hours out of his way to help us. We eventually made bids on all the homes he choose. He has a keen eye for finding homes with your wish list items. We closed our 4 bedroom 2 bathroom home purchase in a friendly family location in the market we were searching in. He helped us reach our dream home in as little as 2 months. I highly recommend you placing your home purchase or sale in the capable and skilled hands of Fernando Mota.

Ruben Badilla

First time home buyers who entered into the most competitive market during 2020.

Fernando helped us a lot during the process even when we thought we could not find the house that interested us. He also assisted us transition to a different lender as the previous lender was unprofessional and delayed us from getting our house. I highly recommend Fernando!

Words cannot describe how amazing Fernando was in getting us our new home!

! We had worked with him for almost 2 years trying to find our forever home, and he was patient and non pressuring towards us the entire time! He took into consideration all of the things we had asked for in a new home, & only showed us the ones that fit all those criteria! (And it was pretty picky criteria!) Fernando also had an extensive knowledge of the Rocklin & Roseville areas, and was able to answer any of the questions that we asked in regards to that. His background on real estate, taxes, and all the other inner and outer workings of buying and selling a house was amazing! Any question that we asked he had the answer to immediately! In the end when we finally found our forever home, Fernando worked tirelessly to negotiate with the seller and the seller‘s agent to make sure that we were able to acquire the property, and that the transition from the seller to us was smooth and effortless on our part. We now consider Fernando to be a part of our family, and would recommend him to anyone that is trying to buy or sell a home. He is the ideal real estate agent as he is friendly, knowledgeable, yet non-pressuring or pesky like many agents are nowadays. We can not say thank you enough for all the assistance Fernando & you rock!!!

Fernando is truly outstanding.

We’ve partnered with him on multiple real estate deals, and he’s consistently gone above and beyond for both investors and buyers. He’s professional, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable — the kind of agent who brings solutions, clarity, and confidence to every situation. If you’re looking for someone reliable, easy to work with, and genuinely dedicated to helping you succeed, Fernando is the one. Highly recommend!

Samm Proctor

We met Fernando serendipitously in an open house he was hosting.

He was very engaging so much so he was the first agent we disclosed to that we’ve been doing our homework and just needed to find THE house. Fast forward a week later we found ourselves with a property we wanted to put an offer on with an agent who became unavailable. Of all the agents we met at open houses, Fernando made an impression and was easily our first choice. We reached out to him Saturday evening and he met with us on Sunday morning with a plan in place. He had already done preliminary work giving us helpful information on what to expect being first time home buyers. We didn’t end up purchasing the property, and so our work with Fernando continued. He lined up appointments for us the whole week for new construction and existing homes that put us in a good place to make a decision. With Fernando’s insight and guidance, we had our offer accepted within a couple of days. He was again on top of all the next steps - from informing our lender, to setting up inspections, and following up on details as they came up. Fernando and his team made sure we got all that we needed done, and always in regular communication. 6 weeks of solid, professional work from Fernando and the Mota Team so our family will have a house to call our own. Definitely will spread the word to recommend and refer him to family and friends.

"As first time home buyers we couldn’t be happier with having Fernando guide us through the process. He was always available to answer any questions big or small and he made the entire process easy. With his proactiveness and expertise we were able to find the perfect home for our family and couldn’t be happier. I would highly recommend Fernando because his expertise and professionalism was truly top notch."

"I was lucky enough to find Fernando by chance on Zillow and he is definitely the person you want on your side when buying a house. I am a first-time home buyer and he was absolutely amazing. He helped me through every step of the way, explained things in a way I could understand, and didn't give up on finding me the perfect home even when I had. 10/10 would recommend"
