About us


"Real estate investing, even on a very small scale, remains a tried and true means of building an individual's cash flow and wealth" - Robert T. Kiyosaki

I have been in the real estate business since 2007 and have worked with a variety of clients, ranging from first time home buyers to experienced real estate investors. I have partnered with other investors to do fix and flips and purchase rental units. I personally have 20+ doors, ranging from Reading, Pennsylvania to Kansas City Missouri, with goals for that number to continue growing.

After obtaining an Associate’s Degree in Electrical Technology from Thaddeus Steven’s School of Technology, I have experience in construction from working in the electrical field for over 10 years. Having this knowledge and background in construction will allow me to point out potential issues in homes you may look at. I will be able to give my advice on any electrical issues and an approximate cost for repair items. 

I provide a full service of real estate needs and can represent first time home buyers or assist in the sale of homes for families who are upsizing or downsizing their current properties. 

I also can help you with land development needs. I have helped to start both an industrial park and a residential development. I have also assisted in a large commercial project for a nonprofit mission organization. 

My goal is to provide you service with all your real estate needs, from buying to managing to selling and everything in between! If you need an honest, hardworking agent that works for your benefit, and your profit. You know who to call!

Sheldon is exceptional! It took us over a year to find the right property, and throughout the entire process he was incredibly patient and supportive. He provided valuable insights not only as a realtor, but also with his property management experience and electrical background, which made a real difference in our decision-making. Throughout the buying process, Sheldon and his team were highly professional and made everything smooth and easy for us. I truly appreciate his dedication and would highly recommend him.

Sheldon and his team made the selling process so easy, it required very little effort on my part. He is knowledgeable about the market, creative in his thinking and communicates very well, all I can ask for. I would definitely recommend him if you are looking to buy or sell property in the York, PA area. Thanks again for all your help you made this process as pain free as possible.

Sheldon and his team are outstanding. From the first day they provided guidance and worked with me to find the right property. Sheldon did a great job of honing in on a property that would be a good fit, and really helped move the process along smoothly. I will be going back to them on my next deal for sure.

We have worked with Sheldon and Ruth Ann over the years on many deals including investment properties and personal residences. They know the local markets very well and did a great job guiding us through the negotiation process. Sheldon also has an excellent base of knowledge when it comes to rehabs, repairs and tenant issues.

Sheldon is like a unicorn in real estate. A combination of maintenance experience (worked for a contracting company), owns investments, property management experience, and also has a realty team that helps investors acquire properties. Also a good dude, which counts for something in this industry!

Sheldon is a rare type of person in my experience. From my initial interactions with him it was clear he incredibly knowledgeable in investor needs and how to be investor friendly. As a newer investor it can be hard and intimidating to navigate a new market beyond the standard data analysis. Sheldon helps overcome this by sharing his own investor experiences, being transparent about the markets he services, what is needed to be successful in those markets, and he knows how to communicate and set expectations based on the goal of the investor. Anyone who has called on agent after agent knows this isn't a common trait.

Sheldon was exactly the type of agent I was looking for to help me buy my first investment property. He is very knowledgeable, as he is a property investor himself and specializes as an agent for investment properties. Whenever I had questions throughout the buying process, Sheldon was always responsive and more than happy to help. He clearly had my best interest in mind, and he gave me the confidence I needed to buy my first home. I highly recommend Sheldon for anyone, whether you are just starting or are already an experienced investor!

Sheldon is a rockstar among rockstars! I spoke with numerous investor friendly agents before deciding to go with Sheldon. What made him stand out is his previous construction experience, which helped us assess any potential issues within the value-add properties we were interested in. We were very specific with what we were looking for, so the entire process took over 6 months (COVID lockdown included). However, Sheldon was extremely patient with us, never eager to get a deal done just to finally collect his commission. In fact, Sheldon is very honest with his opinion and advised us not to purchase certain properties since he genuinely wants his clients to succeed. Being first-time investors, as well as first-time homebuyers looking to house-hack, Sheldon was extremely helpful with our numerous questions and “holding our hands” thru the process. Sheldon was excellent with responding to our communications in a timely manner and following up with others where needed. He also did a great job of managing communications regarding multiple different properties we were interested in all at one time. Overall, I continue to highly recommend Sheldon to anyone looking to buy their first investment property, or any property!

I am a new investor and found Sheldon through the Bigger Pockets community. Found a property that met my criteria quickly in mid-Feb 2021 in a tight market and was able to navigate through from offer to closing very quickly & smoothly (~6 weeks). It was great to have someone local, responsive and knowledgable, who is an investor himself and willing to teach as I begin this journey. Highly recommend working with Sheldon for primary or investment property.

Sheldon was fantastic. He sold my rental property easily because he's embedded with the community. A lot of agents will tell you they are actively working with buyers and to list with them. I usually roll my eyes when hearing that statement. Sheldon didn't say anything about having buyers when I listed with him. However before going on the market he negotiated first with the tenant and family to buy the property and when that didn't work out he did in fact have a buyer. Before going to market. If your an investor looking to buy or sell rental properties, Sheldon's your guy.

Can’t say enough great things about Sheldon and the whole Sheldon Zimmerman team. His expertise in the real estate, exceptional communication and reliability, and willingness to help at anytime was what I needed in guiding me through my first investment property purchase. Sheldon gave honest feedback on location/properties that helped me make a solid choice. Sheldon and the team are also all very kind people that genuinely want you to succeed. Looking forward to working with Sheldon and the team more in the future.
