One could not ask for a better agent anywhere and her ability to get the job done was superior! Highly recommend her to anyone!

If you want to rent in Twain Harte and have a wonderful, relaxing vacation, stay away from Twain…read moreHarte Vacation Rentals. We had made a rental reservation a year in advance with Mr. Kevin Lesley, but he cancelled it a month before our arrival, and we had to call him to find out. We were left high and dry as there are no rentals in the summer, one month ahead of your arrival. He was not even apologetic. We had to scramble to find another cabin. We contacted the other rental agencies in Twain Harte, and they had nothing available. However, they also shared that many in the town find THVR's business practices to be 'questionable'. We finally found an Airbnb outside of town and far away from our family members' cabins. We have been coming for over 60 years for our large family reunion, which takes place during the same two weeks every year. Throughout that time, none of us has had any issues with the rental agencies. We had a stressful and upsetting time, as there was a lot of frustration dealing with Mr. Lesley. We take one vacation a year and have never had it not be stress-free and fun for everyone. The Airbnb we rented cost considerably more, and it took a year of constant contact, including emailing, texts, and phone calls, for Mr. Lesley to pay us the difference. It was exhausting; we missed work, family occasions, and quality time with our loved ones. It felt like Mr. Lesley was trying to wear us down so we would give up our rights as renters of properties. His behavior was so staggeringly egregious that we didn't know if he had some problems or was just incompetent. We couldn't believe it was purposeful, but maybe it was. We see in another Yelp review that he is referred to as a 'crook.' Regardless, we went with another rental company in Twain Harte for the following summer. There are three to four other great rental companies. Please use them. Just look online, and they all pop up. We would hate for anyone to experience what we went through.

On top of that, I live about three hours away from the property, and the entire situation felt overwhelming. While searching for realtors in Tuolumne County, Cheryl was one of the first to reach out to me--and I'm so glad she did. It was going to take a few months to move my mother's partner out of the house before we could list it, and during that time Cheryl regularly checked in to offer support and assistance, even before we had a listing agreement. Once we were ready, Cheryl took full initiative and handled everything: she arranged for landscaping, scheduled a deep cleaning, and coordinated the removal of multiple truckloads of junk left behind in the home. I genuinely don't know how I would have managed all of that from a distance without her help. Not only did she manage all the logistics, but she also kept me informed every step of the way, which gave me incredible peace of mind. Her knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and willingness to take initiative made a difficult situation so much easier to navigate. If you're looking for a realtor who truly goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Cheryl Balbuena. She made a stressful, emotional process so much more manageable, and I'm incredibly grateful for her support.
