If you…read morewant a realtor with the highest integrity, who treats everyone with respect and is always professional, Talya is the one. She made the tough decisions on pricing, staging and getting us ready on time during a rapidly changing market. Talya was always listening to our needs and never let us down. Best of all her negotiating skills at crunch time she got us the best deal and made everyone happy.

We met Talya Martin several years ago when we bought our first Tahoe property. We found Talya to be…read moreeasy to work with, savvy, and straight forward. Since then, Talya has worked with us as both our buying and selling agent for additional properties. Talya has a very strong work ethic, she is a swift and fair negotiator and she operates with integrity. She has always steered us in the right direction with sound advice. We would have been lost without her ability and expertise to keep our most recent deal moving forward. She is a tenacious problem solver with smart solutions. Talya worked diligently until she found us the right solution. We can easily say, Talya has gone way above and beyond taking care of many unexpected aspects of our deal that had no clear resolution. We were comfortable and secure knowing that Talya had our best interest in mind and heart. We have had Talya represent us multiple times because she is a top-notch realtor who knows the Tahoe/Truckee market passionately. We truly appreciate Tayla and her hard work to get the job done and close the deal, every time. We highly recommend Talya Martin without reservation.

Janie and Rachael were absolutely a joy to work with and they landed me in my first home (and dream…read morehome)! They really listened to what I was looking for, were cognizant of my financial limitations yet allowed me to dream big, and were so patient in answering my thousands of questions as a first-time home buyer. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be able to buy a house in this economy (much less in Tahoe), and yet Janie found "the one" for me and helped me navigate such a complicated process with grace and patience. Even my neighbors knew how great she was, as she helped them buy their homes, too. I've been in my house for over a year now and I'm just as thankful and giddy as Day 1. Even after buying the home, Janie and her team have been helpful -- recommending trusted handymen, plow services, designers, and other local workers over the past year. Highly recommend the whole Sharp team for anyone and everyone looking for a home in Tahoe!

She is a fantastic communicator and always goes above and beyond for her clients. We just purchased a home in Truckee and this is the fourth transaction we've done with Kristi and we couldn't have been happier with the process. I have done more than 25 real estate transactions in my life and I always trust Kristi and her team to do things exceptionally well and help make the transaction as smooth as possible. I also want to shout out Rachael as well. Rachael was absolutely amazing and helped through the entire transaction and beyond. They are a fantastic asset to the Truckee community and if you're looking to buy or sell, Kristi is your Realtor! We have bought and sold with her and I enjoy the process every time.

If she wasn't enough there is a whole team of amazing women working alongside her that made this process seamless as well as enjoyable. Buying a home for the first time needs a professional hardworking team but to have people who are open minded, straight forward, flexible and always keeping a friendly demeanor throughout the process is exceptional. We were blessed to not have to look for too long for our first home to buy but that didn't take away having to get our hands dirty and negotiate as well as be realistic with the transaction. Their devotion and diligence got us in our price range! Her team kept on top of what needed to be done. Including our need to revisit the house to get measurements and plan out some moving in strategies. They are organized, knowledgeable and truly exceptional at customer service. You can't go wrong with this team of rock stars! It's a no brainer to refer them to friends, family and strangers as well as going back to them for any future needs. We are forever grateful for this team! The Rutschmanns

Alison and the team at Elder Group are not just the best in the real estate business, they are the…read morebest professionals I have ever worked with in any industry. They're incredible. I have now bought 2 homes using their services, and also sold 2 homes, and wow I was blown away at how quickly and efficiently they worked, while being fully transparent and always keeping a positive "let's do this!" attitude. A+, 5 stars, flawless service, excellent outcomes. Over the summer of 2021 my fiancee and I made the decision to renovate our kitchen. In order to do so in the timeframe we wanted, I needed to sell my cabin in Tahoe. I synced with Alison to understand her thoughts on my home, the market in general, and thoughts on the future. She took time out of her day to educate me, and 24 hours later I decided to move forward. Alison's team quickly provided me with a checklist, we all split up tasks (including her team completing tasks on my behalf), and within 5 business days we were on the market! I love moving quickly and even I was blown away! Alison was able to move the house in less than a week (if you do not consider the week of wildfires). Her staging decisions were amazing and ultimately we got 3 offers, one of which stood out which we decided to move forward with. The buyer wanted to move quickly (cash and lifted contingencies), and in all of 10 days (!!!) we completed the entire checklist and closed. And to be sure, my cabin's value/listing price was probably in the bottom 50th percentile (maybe even lower) for her, and she still treated me as if I was one of her top clients. I cannot express how amazing Alison and her entire team is. When the day comes and I purchase my forever cabin in Tahoe, she's the only person I'll trust. If it's in 20 years and she's retired I'll knock on her door and beg her to come out one last time! The entire Elder Group team is amazing. THANK YOU!

In short, I found the entire experience to be painful and way more difficult that it needed to be. My opinion is her ego is too inflated to be a real human. We ended up bringing in a buyer broker who was paid half of what she was and did most of the work. Eventually I had to circumnavigate her team and talk directly to the seller and that's the only reason we got a deal done. Avoid buying a deal from her or using her as a seller's agent.

Anna understood our goal in finding a mountain home and demonstrated tremendous patience as we evolved from our initial goal of purchasing a townhouse in Tahoe City to identifying a dream home in Truckee. Throughout the process there were excited moments when we thought "this is it!," yet Anna was careful to point out concerns that might arise over time with respect to roof lines, sun exposure, street noise, sloped driveways, etc. Other times we thought, "we can make this work," yet thankfully we listened to Anna's skilled expertise and objectivity to prevent us from settling on a property "just to get in." Without question, Anna placed our needs and priorities first, which resulted in a trusted relationship we feel so appreciative about. We highly recommend Anna!
