She pointed out everything that we would need to consider, helped us narrow down our selection and make an offer in a matter of days. She walked us through a multiple-offer situation and guided us to make our strongest offer possible. Best news was our offer was accepted! From there, Linda's team walked us through the closing month and ensured everything was completed to close on-time! Thank you Linda, Laura, and the entire team!

This review is way overdue, but I figured late is better than never…read moreLinda and her team helped us buy our vacation home in Kings Beach last year. From beginning to the end Linda and her team were always there for us. They worked with us to figure out what we liked and what we were looking for. In particular, we worked closely with one of her agents, Laura Hawkyard, who I cannot praise or ever thank enough. With minimal work from us, they found us a perfect place. We went under contract without even seeing the place. We then came up to check it out and saw that it was exactly what we were looking for. Her team did all the necessary work to close while we were out of the area. She is familiar with the area and her entire team is professional and attentive. We recommend her highly and in the future will go back to her with any of our real estate needs in the North Lake Tahoe area.

My husband and I purchased an investment property in Homewood and had several furniture deliveries that we could not be home for. Kelly and her team have always been available to help open the door, move boxes in, give referrals, pass along helpful information, I can't tell you how amazing she is! 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!

Sandy has been my own realtor in Incline Village. She helped me purchase more than one condos over…read more10 years ago, and recently she helped me sell one of them. Sandy did the needed research and recommended a price. She is very knowledgeable of the process by the current HOA management company, which seems very slow in responding to buyer's inspection questions. She provided specific instructions to me as how to get their attention. Worked closely together, we managed to close the escrow on time. Sandy also called the president of the HOA and provided constructive feedback.

This was a second home purchase for us, and we were unfamiliar with the Incline Village Market. Bruce has a sixth sense for what homes should cost in that area, and made sure we didn't pay a penny more! Sandy was equally impressive with the closing of the deal, going above and beyond with being available and negotiating on our behalf. They made the process as easy as possible, taking exceptional care of us, and making sure we didn't overpay. The most trustworthy realtors I have ever met, I honestly cannot recommend them more.

He presented a well thought out marketing, offer period, and offer acceptance plan. As it was 2020 all the plans went out the window from the start and Dave was there to hold us and the transaction steady and lead us to a successful home sale. 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.

Katherina Haug is hands-down the best realtor in Lake Tahoe. I used Katherina to find and purchase…read morea home in Tahoe years ago and then to sell the home years later. 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. The house needed some work done before the sale and Katherina found all of the vendors and oversaw the entire project. She really went above and beyond and I couldn't have done it without her. I have friends who have used Katherina as their realtor and they also highly recommend her. Katherina was very pleasant to work with and always professional. I highly recommend Katherina!

I have purchased many residential and commercial properties and have worked with lots of different real estate agents. Katherina is head and shoulders the above the rest. Katherina was a fantastic communicator with being able to talk to her around my scheduling including nights and weekends. She emailed me detailed notes summarizing our conversations about different properties and what I was looking for. She detailing each property describing the pros and cons of each home I was looking at. I have always wanted to buy in Tahoe but did not have the first clue on the different neighborhoods and associated amenities each community had to offer. Katherina spent time showing me homes throughout the North and West shore of Lake Tahoe. I was able to really get a sense on what it would be like to live in each neighborhood. Katherina was exceedingly supportive through the offer process as we made multiple different offers on different homes. I felt her expertise on knowing the local real estate market including the local real estate agents helped me in our negotiations and preparing offers. During our offer negotiations I was extremely comfortable that she was negotiating the best pricing and terms. She was thorough is developing my offers and looked out for me best interest. Once we went into contract Katherina went above and beyond what any other real estate agent has done before by helping me coordinate all of my inspections in detail. She got over 10 vendors and inspections that helped me truly know what I was purchasing. With me living in the Bay Area there was no way I would have been able to pull off the due diligence process without her. At the house closing she helped coordinate the turnover going so far and to shovel the snow on my driveway prior to my arrival. She left a lovely care packed upon taking the keys to my home. You will be in good hands if you choose to work with Katherina. She truly cared that I was getting the best home possible.

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.

Thank you for the ease of making our visits throughout the years a memorable experience. Our favorite is the Tahoe Park Cottage, perfect for us and our favorite restaurants, the Firesign Cafe and Sunnyside are nearby.

It was represented as a luxury property with a lake view and it couldn't have been further from the truth. The carpets smelled like athletes foot and the sectional couch smelled like dirty bodies. It was awful. The management group offered to have housekeeping come on the third day of our 5-day stay which we declined because the bigger issues would require time to either replace, repair or clean. They never take a phone call only text. I requested they come see the house the morning we were checking out but they never answered that request.

I tried to say i'd pay $50 but they would not have it; even though they agreed the mistake was on their side. These are small dollars, but the lack of mgmt competency is clear.
