My aunt passed away recently and I needed a realtor to help me through the process of selling her…read morehome. I asked around for recommendations and Chris Barnes' name was mentioned several times as someone I should talk to. Yelp, Zillow, and other websites also gave Chris high ratings. When I contacted him, Chris seemed eager to assist me and made room in his schedule to meet me at the house that day for an initial assessment. He immediately noticed several things that needed to be done to improve marketability and other items in need of repair. Chris arranged for further inspections and provided the companies to perform the required work. Chris kept me informed of market conditions, both area wide and neighborhood specific. Together, we decided on a fair asking price for the home. Once he and I were satisfied that all the necessary work had been completed, Chris had the home listed with an open house three days later. Thanks to all his hard work and attention to detail, the house sold in one week. I can't tell you how happy I am with the results and the entire process. Chris was there from our first meeting through the end of escrow. If you need a local realtor with a real understanding of the local area, you would be hard pressed to find someone better than Chris Barnes. Nick Miller

Sarah helped us purchase our beautiful new home in Reno while we were still living in Southern…read moreCalifornia, and somehow made a stressful process feel almost effortless. From start to finish, she was on top of everything--super knowledgeable about the Reno market and always available to answer questions or coordinate the next step. And when I say "always available," I'm not exaggerating. Send her a text and she replies instantly, like she's literally sitting there watching her phone just in case someone needs her. Since we were out of state, she went above and beyond: sending us video walkthroughs of properties we were interested in, coordinating inspections and repairs, and even doing the final walkthrough for us. She's clearly more organized than I'll ever be, and an absolute delight to work with. If you're looking for a realtor you can trust, I promise you can't go wrong with Sarah.

We were so lucky to be referred to Sarah for the purchase of our house. Sarah has one of the most…read moreimpressive work ethics I've seen in decades. She was with us every step of the way, providing insight and advice on matters we didn't even know or think to consider. We would recommend her to anyone and especially to first-time home buyers who could use the wisdom of someone familiar with every step of buying a house (I am confident her expertise also extends to selling and if we are ever on that market, we know who we'll bring on board!). Sarah is always responsive and even when she has other obligations and is not able to address your question immediately, she takes the time to let you know when she'll be able to get back to you (and she does so promptly).

Magda and her team were extremely helpful in finding us a home in the Reno area. She provided us…read morewith a wealth of information about the area, trusted vendors and service providers we may need and was able to regularly update us with new listings tailored to the parameters we specified. They are well established and respected in the area and have very good working relationships with lenders and a title company, so they move through the process as quickly as they can until they have to wait on someone else to complete their task. We were never waiting on them. They were very tenacious in moving the process along with the various agencies and were always pushing to close as soon as possible while being very communicative with us the entire time. I highly recommend them and will be using them again for my next local real estate sale or purchase.

Having just sold my home in Reno, Nevada I wanted to share my experience with Alan Hoffman and his…read moreteam at HOMEGATE Reality. My previous occupation required we moved a lot and as a result this was the 15 home we have sold. I spent 4 months researching the market, trends, home values, lenders, Realtors and their firms. I also look at the different price ranges and geographical areas where the realtor sold most of their homes. If the realtor sells 90% of his homes in an area where the homes sell for $250K and your home is $1million and in a pricy area that realtor is not for you. In the Reno area there were several hundred realtors to choose from. There were also many big name companies with their franchises all over the area. I looked at a lot of average realtors, bad realtors, part timers (I would not use a part time realtor) and the top producers. We were after the top producers in our areas to market and sell our home. We boiled the list down to the top 4 and my wife and I interviewed them all. We selected Alan Hoffman and his team. Alan was by far the best prepared. His presentation, comparable, marketing data & analysis and knowledge of the market were the most detailed and accurate with regards to the property I wanted to sell. When he left I had a thorough understanding of the market value of my home, and a pretty good start at a marketing plan and time frame to sell my home. Alan also had an advantage over the other agents in that his approach to selling includes the use of his team. The HOMEGATE team is comprised of people who handle the marketing, home staging, title Co.'s, home repairs, moving, legal matters, associate Realtors and an Administrator who pull it all together. The team was always available to help and kept me informed every step of the way. They made the difficult process of selling a home as easy as possible. Some of the additional things I liked about dealing with Alan Hoffman and HOMEGATE Reality team are: * Alan is a very experienced Realtor, with strong ethics, is honest and tells you what you need to know not what you want to hear. He is the top producer in the Reno area and is well respected by other Realtors. * HOMEGATE has many creative ways to sell your home. They also use the latest technologies so you receive reports on the market, homes sold, online hits, potential buyer activities, etc. * Alan did a superb job with regards to some very tough negotiations to close the deal. If you're looking to sell or buy a home in the Reno area take a hard look at HOMEGATE. HOMEGATE is really a great Company with a solid team that knows how to buy and sell homes. Do your homework, go on-line read the reviews and do your homework. THE TEAM THAT FIELD THE BEST PLAYERS USUALLY WINS.

It's hard to list all of the things that made our experience working with Mike so great! My fiancé…read moreand I relocated to Reno a few months ago and got linked up with Mike to help us find a home here. We knew very little about the area and what part of town best suited our little family. Mike helped us every step of the way and took lots of extra time to help us get to know the area so we knew exactly where we wanted to be. After quite a bit of looking we found a house we thought was perfect. Unfortunately that house ended up having some major issues that came up during inspection. Mike advised us to not go through with that house and it ended up being the right choice. Soon after we found the house that we ended up purchasing and couldn't be happier! Mike was our Realtor when we arrived here but now we are very happy to call him our friend. He genuine cares about his clients and goes the extra mile to deliver an exceptional service. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a home in Reno especially if relocating from out of town!

I'd use him again in a heartbeat!! If you want a realtor who cares about your happiness in your new house then give him a call today!!

James and Jolee were sincere in every interaction and constantly seeking the best for my family as we sold our home and worked on relocating to Las Vegas.

James and Jolee not only listened to our concerns and questions at all times, but they were quick to implement changes and always worked to our benefit.

James was the listing agent when we sold our property. Not only did James market it and find suitable and qualified buyers, he even had a local contractor who repaired some minor issues in the home to make it ready in a quick turn around time. We not only got an offer but our offer was above asking and the entire process went very smoothly. We highly recommend James Nava for your real estate needs. He is a personable, knowledgeable and highly motivated agent. Thank you James! Rick & Karen Nelson
