My husband and I purchased an investment property in Homewood and had several furniture deliveries that we could not be home for.

Thank you, Kelly for also making buying this home so easy and efficient. She is VERY knowledgeable about this area and I could not imagine working with anyone else.

If you are a seller BEWARE accepting an offer from Team Blair…read more Do you really want to do business with people who lie, cheat and try to censor honest reviews? Look at their unrecommended reviews. They create fake profiles for fake 5 star reviews which were reported and removed and they lie to try to delete negative ones. They are so desperate to censor negative reviews because their entire customer base is Bay Area people no one here will work with them. I PAID their commission and I SIGNED their agreements. That constitutes working together in CONTRACT LAW. That they represented a buyer has nothing to do with the fact that we worked together. They also have not responded once to the emails on their agent Matt Smith breaching the realtor code of conduct, being unethical and directly lying. Article 1 of their realtor code of conduct is to be HONEST with all parties, whether representing a buyer or seller. They also don't know that censoring honest reviews is actually illegal and enforceable with the FTC. They were paid on the sale of MY home because I accepted their offer and I want to share my story so you don't make the same mistake. 24 hours after acceptance we were advised to delay our sale due to an unforseen 84k tax liability. We learned fast they didn't care about a win win, our family, their clients, only when they would be paid. True character is shown during times of trial. I wouldn't wish these liars on my worst enemy. They involved their lawyer immediately (see attached email) to threaten us to keep a bad deal going! They made negative statements about our financial situation with others copied, lied in legal documentation and gave us no notice that their clients couldn't close after we were forced to move with an infant in four days. Their behavior cost their clients tens of thousands of dollars in penalties because they couldn't close on time. They also used unethical tactics to try to get information from my contractors and lawyer, who told me everything. It was awesome after forcing us through a bad contract they had to turn around and plead for goodwill and flexibility (see attached letter) their clients had to pay us $10k to keep the deal going because they broke the contract. That's the ONLY reason this escrow closed. Instant legal karma my lawyer called it. Look, they are STILL lying in their response and no response to the actual facts and I've posted emails and documentation of all my account. Do business with good honest people. Team Blair really are dishonest, unethical, exploitative, selfish - despicable in the current times. Don't worry Team Blair, I won't be bullied or censored by a group like you. People should know how you do business. Beware Tahoe!

With both experiences, it was clear that Katherina was very sharp and knew her industry very well. She successfully negotiated on my behalf with both the purchase and subsequent sale of my home.

His marketing of our property was excellent. He really went the extra steps of the photography, video, drone footage and even modified some verbiage for me with a smile. Dave is knowledgeable about the local market, persistent, and an excellent coach when you need one in these uncertain times. We highly recommend working with Dave.

My family and I rented from West Lake Properties from in August 2023. We received the worst…read morecustomer service from Julie Weed. We expressed our concerns/issues with the property, but each was dismissed by Julie. We discovered on multiple beds there were dirty linens. When we brought it to Julie's attention so brushed it off as the property being "an old house" and probably just stains on the sheets. We ended up washing all the linens at 10pm the night we got in and all of the "stains" came out. Stains or not, even Motel 6 offers clean and stain-free linens. We had to clean pots and pans before using them. We also had to clean the bathroom before being able to use the shower. It is understandable that Julie does not do the cleaning and servicing herself. However, in owning a property management company, part of your duties is to oversee the company doing the cleaning. Julie expressed no concerns and even a sincere apology for the poor experience my family had. I was shocked at her lack of customer service. Do not utilize this company to rent from or to manage your property.

Chris truly understands the unique dynamics of the Lake Tahoe real estate market. Their local expertise was invaluable, particularly when it came to pricing our home correctly to attract serious buyers, navigating the challenges of market volitility and coordinating with local vendors. Communication was outstanding. Chris kept us informed every single step of the way--whether it was after a showing, during the negotiation phase, or while managing complex paperwork. They were incredibly responsive and made selling remotely feel seamless and stress-free. The ultimate outcome speaks for itself: Chris managed to secure a fantastic offer, selling our property to a strong buyer with favorable terms. Their negotiation skills were clearly top-notch, and we felt completely supported and advocated for throughout the closing process.

All of the pictures on my listing were crisp and vivid, the description was enticing to attract buyers but not overdone or dishonest.

I got more than I wanted, it all happened fast, their communication was clear and frequent, and I knew what was going on every step of the way.
