Ratings & Reviews

- Highly likely to recommend

Bought a home in 2012.

Summary:

Alison was super responsive and really looked after us from day 1 all the way to the time the escrow closed and beyond. What I loved the most about Alison is her honesty and the deep knowledge of the Tahoe region. I would highly recommend Alison.

- Highly likely to recommend

Sold a Single Family home in 2012 for approximately $450K in Truckee, CA.

Summary:

Alison Elder is one of the most thorough and detail-oriented agents I have worked with. Buying and selling real estate always has its challenges but even more so when done remotely and in snow country. Alison has all the resources to prep a house and take care of any problem that can come up before or during the sale. She does this by putting together a great team. Kristi, Julie, Miguel and Willy are all hardworking and very conscientious. They would do whatever was needed to get things done on time. In my case this was working till 8-9 PM to get the house staged before the storm hit.

I was also impressed with Allison’s extensive knowledge of the north Tahoe market. By discussing properties and their specific neighborhoods and attributes ahead of time, I was able to limit my driving-around and save a lot of time.

Alison’s skills are not limited to just the sales. We performed a top to bottom remodel and her design input was spot-on and made the house really shine. Her staging matched those that I typically pay handsomely for in the Bay Area.

Alison is a terrific agent and I strongly recommend her.

- Highly likely to recommend

Bought a home in 2012.

Summary:

Alison and Kristi impressed us at each and every turn in our experience. With a local perspective, she was able to focus our attention on the area that would best suit our desires and was most likely to offer a property at our desired price point, and we quickly found THE property. But that was just the beginning--the subsequent purchase process was far more challenging than the average purchase and Alison manuevered it masterfully. At each 'bump', Alison diligently worked with the seller's multiple representatives to find a solution that worked for us, often more favorably than even we had hoped. She negotiated through many hurdles with aplomb and successfully closed within the very tight window the sellers had offered. Even more remarkable is that Alison and Kristi were always available and responsive...they fielded many questions and reliably followed through with thoughtful answers and a range of options for our consideration. While the transaction was quite different than any we had previously completed, we never felt uninformed...Alison had an explanation when we needed one and always a path forward. We are very fortunate to have found her...I don't believe anyone else could have closed this property as well as she did!More Less
