OUR TEAM

About Us

the bishop real estate group

Our team was founded by Kendra Svanum Bishop in 2007 along with her parents, Ken and Dana Svanum. The team was built around a passion for helping clients and a drive to provide a client-centric experience for everyone.


Today, we are comprised of agents and administrative professionals, with a combined 180+ years of real estate experience, who bring professionalism, integrity, and empathy to every listing, buyer, and escrow. Through our marketing strategy, streamlined transaction coordination, and unparalleled expertise, we have been able to help buyers, sellers, relocators, and investors throughout the Sacramento Valley accomplish their real estate goals. In 2024, we surpassed $850,000,000 in real estate sold throughout our tenure, with the last 5 years accounting for nearly half of that total. This feat is humbling, and we are so grateful to have helped thousands of families make moves and provide exceptional service year after year.


At the Bishop Real Estate Group, we know that behind every transaction there’s a person, and every person has a story. We understand that many people buy and sell homes when they are going through emotional times. Whether it’s buying for the first time, combining households, marriage, divorce, growing families, kids moving out, parents moving in, relocation, job loss, retirement, or whatever else life throws their way. Keeping our clients and their stories at the heart of our business has been our philosophy since our founding. We strive to help our clients make real estate decisions that make sense financially, situationally, emotionally, and frankly, help alleviate any burden that moving may bring.

For the last 18 years, representing sellers and buyers hasn’t been a number or a commission to us. While we are very proud of our accomplishments, we are more focused on creating lifelong relationships, friendships, and extended family members who stay in our lives long after escrow closes.


Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be a part of your real estate story.

Almost one billion dollars in real estate sold!  Since our founding in 2007, we have not only grown in production each year (even in a down market), but have also amassed a portfolio of more than $950 million dollars in real estate sold over 18 years.
