Greater Sacramento Real Estate — Yuba City and Marysville Included.
I’m Ricardo Villa, a licensed California REALTOR® with eXp Realty of California. Eight years in, 100+ transactions behind me, and an accountant’s habit of showing you the numbers before the sales pitch.
About Ricardo
I Still Answer the Phone Myself.
I’ve been a licensed California REALTOR® since 2017 (DRE #02057985). In that time I’ve worked with buyers, sellers, and investors across Sacramento, Placer, Yuba, and Sutter counties — from first homes in Roseville to acreage out past Marysville.
Before real estate I studied accounting, and I invest in and renovate properties myself. That background shapes how I work: we talk about monthly payments, net proceeds, and what a rental actually returns — not just what a listing looks like online.
I work in English and Spanish, and I’ll tell you when a house is overpriced or when your timeline is working against you. That part is free.

Why Work With Ricardo
Numbers First, Every Single Time
What the house is worth. What you can comfortably afford. What the timing costs you. Everything else is detail we can work out along the way.
I started out in accounting, and I still run every deal the same way: we look at the real numbers together, I tell you what I’d do if it were my house, and then you decide. No pressure, no script.

Placer County’s commercial hub, with newer subdivisions and older tree-lined streets side by side.

Sacramento
California’s capital — historic districts, Midtown restaurants, and the American River Parkway.

Foothill living along I-80, roughly halfway between Sacramento and Auburn.

Three Things You Can Count On
- 01Numbers First
Monthly payment, closing costs, net proceeds, carrying costs. We work them out before we talk about anything cosmetic.
- 02Straight Answers
If a house is overpriced, if the timing is wrong, or if waiting would serve you better, I’ll say so — even when it means a smaller commission for me.
- 03One Point of Contact
You get me from the first call to the closing table. Not a call center, not a handoff.
