Top Tahoe Real Estate Partners

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Ryan Smith went above and beyond for my husband and me in our recent Tahoe home purchase! Not only was he informative, giving us the details we needed to evaluate our market options, but he was also inquisitive and responsive to our needs. Ryan is more than a realtor - he is a partner in a very important, large purchase - a home in Tahoe. Once Ryan spent time really understanding our needs in the market,...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Mark is the consummate industry professional, and I can't endorse him enough for his perceptive market knowledge, deep network of local contacts, and sharp deal-making acumen. He is most definitely a ‘super’ agent in Tahoe, and the fact that he is a cut above the rest comes through loud and clear. I was first introduced to Mark about 8 years ago through a friend who is a savvy real estate investor. Since...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Ryan is amazing! He helped me obtain my absolute dream home in South Lake Tahoe. Purchasing your first home can be a long/daunting/stressful process, but Ryan provided guidance every step of the way, on every level. He is professional, patient, and compassionate.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Mark is the best realtor we have ever dealt with. After a year of searching, we found our new home in South Lake Tahoe, and we couldn't be happier. Mark was always there to quickly answer questions and make the process as smooth as possible. Mark is clearly very experienced in this market and has some tricks up his sleeve that helped us secure our house. He has also been a huge help after purchase by ref...

— Ed S.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Ryan was great! We had been looking for a Tahoe home for a few months and hadn’t had any luck with a winning offer. Enter Ryan. He was the realtor on a home we didn’t end up making an offer on, but was super proactive in wanting to find us exactly what we wanted - even if it wasn’t a home he was selling. We decided to take a chance, and sure enough, within a few weeks, we had closed on our Tahoe dream ho...

— Amanda D.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We had a fantastic experience working with Mark to buy our second home in the Lake Tahoe area. He moved quickly and efficiently - getting us from initial contact to in contract in less than a month. Despite living hours away and buying the home sight unseen, we always felt confident thanks to Mark’s detailed inspections and honest insights. Mark is incredibly knowledgeable about the Tahoe market and isn’...

— Urmil D.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Ryan is very knowledgeable and just excellent! He walked us through every step and detail of buying our first home, and didn’t let us settle for anything less than our perfect house! He was always available for any questions we had, and made the whole process of buying a home a fun and stress-free experience!

— Anastasia K.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Mark treated me as a valued client. He spent time and effort on a complicated transaction selling to buyers from another country. He kept me updated with every step of the negotiations. I feel he went beyond with his preparation of the property. Being an out-of-state owner, I trusted him completely to do everything he did in my best interests. I give him the highest recommendation as a caring professional.

— Seller

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Ryan was a fantastic realtor. He helped me buy my first house and made me feel comfortable throughout the process, which was very foreign to me. Ryan was never pushy and genuinely had my best interests at heart throughout. We became friends through the process, and I was honored to have him attend my wedding a few days after I closed on the house!

— Mcganno J.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Ryan is a highly professional and dedicated agent. My husband and I were looking for properties outside of our area, and Ryan was flexible to work with our schedule and was always available to help us with any questions or concerns at a moment's notice. We appreciated his due diligence and hard work to make our real estate transaction as smooth as possible.

— Bonny E.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

My wife and I met Mark by referral for an out-of-state purchase. It was immediately clear that his knowledge of the Lake Tahoe communities, residential construction, and high-stakes transactions is what sets him apart from the many other realtors in the area. We wanted to see listings and make offers in person, so we traveled to the area and spent almost two full days with Mark touring the many propertie...

— Jacob K.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Ryan met with us multiple times to discuss what we wanted to get out of the sale of our property, experience-wise, and prices. We discussed and settled on an initial asking price, and Ryan went to work marketing our property. Based on the response we got, he was able to secure a sale of our property for $15,000 above asking. All of the paperwork was transitioned very smoothly. And our questions were answ...

— Smith D.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I wouldn't hesitate recommending Mark's real estate services to anyone. I chose him on a recommendation, but ultimately because his name is quite synonymous with Tahoe Real Estate. I recognized his name as being fairly prominent in the market over a decade ago (sorry, I'm revealing a bit of your veteran caliber, Mark). So I thought, ok, let's roll with it. To be honest, I also had my reservations that he...

— L. P.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Ryan is an excellent agent. He helped us purchase an investment property in South Lake Tahoe, where we had particularly stringent criteria related to opportunity zones and other complex tax and financial considerations. He was patient and knowledgeable, helping us identify properties that fit our criteria and providing several pros and cons for each based on his deep knowledge of the local market. He was...

— Vaughn S.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We are so lucky we found Mark as a realtor for our first home! His expertise made us feel so comfortable when shopping; he never pressured us to go in on a home that wouldn’t be right for us. He learned what styles we liked, what things we desired in our home, and our budget, and tailored our search around that. I can’t believe we found our dream home in this crazy market. I truly don’t think we would ha...

— Alicia C.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Our home-buying experience with Ryan has been stellar. He is so easy and wonderful to work with. Ryan has a keen knowledge of the market and showed us homes that fit our needs and wants. He quickly found us the home of our dreams! Ryan was outstanding in negotiating our purchase and working with the seller's agent. We appreciate his flexibility in working with our schedule and his immediate response to a...

— Deborah W.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Mark exemplifies the gold standard of Lake Tahoe real estate. He is a passionate, patient, and most of all a highly skilled professional. Mark worked with us to secure a highly technical home purchase during a red-hot Lake Tahoe housing market. Having worked with a few "realtors" before hand, meeting Mark was a breath of fresh air. Highly confident in the Lake Tahoe area, he did not miss a beat and helpe...

— Troy L.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Mark came highly recommended to me, and he did not disappoint! He knew the local real estate market well, and his innovative strategy to sell my home worked as advertised. As a satisfied customer, I wholeheartedly recommend Mark for your real estate needs!
