"Ali was able to find the right fit for our growing family. Three generations of Ching’s spending family getaway time at Tahoe Donner. She knew what we needed and the values of the places. She showed us many places and gave us an accurate critique on each. Thank you Ali!"
"Highly recommend Ali and John. They were proactive, gave us good advice, and when we finally went into contract after five years of looking…they did everything they could to advocate for us while also holding the transaction together. They went above and beyond to get us information, find contractors and referrals, advise us on how to approach tricky situations, and so much more. They are hustlers in the best way…always hustling *for* you, not hustling you. Writing this from our new home!! Thanks so much Ali and John!!!"

"Ali and John were an absolute pleasure to work with and extremely knowledgable. They were great communicators, always easy to get in touch with promptly and never left me wondering where things stood, always keeping me updated and in the loop, and making themselves available for a call after-hours when needed. They have immense knowledge about the local market and even more appreciated, the details of inspection reports. They put a lot of extra time in to ensure we had answers to all of the questions we needed from the reports + that we felt good about everything. Their transparency with some red flags (on the reports) + cautious additional outside research along the way was so appreciated. We couldn't have done the final negotiations without them and their expertise, we feel super grateful to have worked with Ali and John and would do it again in a heartbeat."
"Ali and John are exceptional realtors! Their outstanding communication and professionalism made our property purchases in California stress-free. They understood our needs, provided great options, and expertly handled negotiations. With their help, we found our dream properties. If you're in the market for buying properties in California, we wholeheartedly recommend Ali and John. Their dedication, expertise, and genuine care for their clients make them outstanding realtors. Thank you, Ali and John, for helping us find our dream properties! Highly recommend!"

"Ali and John were fantastic to work with and provided the needed influence to jump into a first home buying experience head first. This was my first home purchase and I was completely green to the whole process, resulting in lots of phone calls, texts and emails from me to Ali/John about every little detail, form and step. They both fielded these questions and comments with a professional calmness that really helped lower my blood pressure and anxiety throughout the process. The inspector that they recommend was absolutely thorough with the report and I believe went above and beyond for inspecting a very new build, where many things could have simply been glossed over because the unit was newer. I'd recommend this all star team to anyone and will definitely be working with Ali and John again in hopefully the nearish future for another property. Cheers Ali and John, thank you!"
"I really appreciated working with Ali and John. Always quick to reply to our phone calls and emails, and took our concerns seriously. They gave us good advice and helpful things to consider. Thanks, Ali for helping us get the place on Kings Beach!"
"Efficient and effective. Ali and John helped my wife and I win a home we love in the very competitive Truckee market. We found them to be a great partnership who brought complementary strengths to our real estate team. They were consistently super responsive to any texts, calls, and emails, and helped coordinate communication between the seller, escrow, lender, and us. They helped us decide on bidding tactics when faced with multiple competing offers, winning us the home without us paying more than was necessary. Beyond helping secure our new home and streamline the closing process, they coordinated inspections and contractors, and advised us on everything from local utilities to the best internet and mobile providers. The whole process was so much easier with their help! Thank you Ali and John. You two rock!"
"You are in good hands with Ali and John, I am definitely using their help again when I buy or sell a property. I know 20 realtors in town I could have used but felt 100% comfortable buying straight from Ali, who was the sellers realtor. I was so impressed that I didn’t see a need to get another realtor involved. I just communicated with her for months. She never got tired of me either, she made the sale happen on a weird property that was hard to sell and hard to buy."
"Ali and John were very accommodating, very well explained, and super patient. They did a great job and always went the extra mile to ensure I understood and was comfortable with the process. They responded to requestsee quickly."
"Working with Ali & John had been nothing short of exceptional. They took the time to learn what we were looking for and even suggested neighborhoods we did not consider (of which we ended up choosing one)! They worked diligently and were extremely responsive, even after hours. They made our home buying experience pleasurable and made sure we were happy with our purchase above anything else.'"
"John and Ali were great in helping us purchase a vacation home in Tahoe Donner. We closed in January and spent the summer in the mountains. It has been the best summer ever. Thank you so much John & Ali"
"Ali and John are great. Lots of realtors are not. They really added a lot of value to the whole process from whom to call and how to resolve issues with the property."
"Ali and John were wonderful to work with. We live about 3 hours from Incline and they previewed our cabin before we were able to see it and took a lot of pictures for us. We loved their laid back style combined with their attention to detail. We are very happy in our new vacation home and are so happy with our purchase!"
"It has and always will be a pleasure working with both of you in the field of Real Estate. Your combined mastery of the art of buying and selling homes amid some wonderful advice we have received from both of you have helped us tremendously in buying homes with confidence. I could proudly count up to four real estate deals you have helped us in and each one has proven successful. Thank you. We would recommend you to anyone desiring to buy or sell their homes in the future. Go make the millions and less I forget, remember to share. LOL<br/><br/>George."

"Ali and John were superb realtors in the sale of our home in Reno. They were great at communication, immediately responding to any questions or concerns. One of them was present for all inspections and appointments and the entire process was free of stress and problems. We could not have asked for better or more competent representation. They clearly understood the market and gave very helpful and accurate advice. We recommend them with no hesitation and with great confidence - in addition to competence and expertise in marketing, they are congenial and easy-going, very important qualities for clients at a stressful time! Thanks, Ali and John!"
"Ali and John have recently helped me with 2 real estate transactions for a total of 4 times they have acted as my buyer’s agent. 2 of the transactions were “complex” and required a heroic efforts from John in order to complete the sales. He had to do a bunch of work that is somewhat “invisible” in the pre-offer and offer negotiations phases without which the transaction would not have been completed. John always kept me in the loop, informed, and empowered to make decisions. Ali worked diligently to get everything lined up and smoothly through the escrow phase. At all times, they both were making sure to look out for my best interests and demonstrated high ethical standards. Both gave generously of their time. I always felt like a priority. In my experience it is a true team effort with each playing to their complementary strengths as such the whole is truly greater than the sum of its parts."
"We had a great time on our home search with Ali and John. They were very helpful in understanding the market and different areas as well as patient with us as we decided what location and type of home we really wanted. They were also a wealth of information on local activities."
"John and Ali know their market area, gave us good advice on preparing the house for sale, lined up repairmen and met them for us, marketed it vigorously once we had it ready to show, and six weeks later escrow closed. They are great! +++++++++++++"
"I have worked with many realtors over the years, and found John and Ali to be one of the best! They are very professional and knowledgeable, and work well as a team- always available, always reply promptly, excellent in their knowledge of real estate and the Tahoe Donner area, and very good at negotiating a fair deal whereby all parties are satisfied. They went the extra mile by seeking bids, getting second opinions and taking care of inspections etc when we couldn't be present. They are long time residents of the area and are a big help in acquainting those new to the area. I would definitely recommend them for your purchase and for your home sale (they helped us both purchase and sell homes in Tahoe Donner). Thank you John and Ali!"

"Ali & John were unbelievable in helping me secure my first home. They were very knowledgable about the local area and immensely helpful before, during and after closing. I would not hesitate to recommend them to my friends & family."
"I hope the space here is big enough for me to write this comment because Ali and John have been really great! We don’t live in Nevada so had Ali visit the houses we liked and give her feedback. We had never met her before this purchase but all the feedback we got from her was very sincere. So we really appreciated that and she helped us find our dream house in a very short time. They always went step further and were very responsible. So if you are considering buying property they are the right team to work with."
"Ali and John were a great team to work with. Although it took us almost two years to find the right home, they were extremely patient and helpful through the entire process. We worked mostly with Ali, and she took the time to really get to know us and what we were looking for in a home. And now even after closing they have made themselves available to answer questions and work with the sellers agent to complete promised work on the home. We very highly recommend Ali and John!"

"This is the third home I've purchased and Ali and John are the best ever! There were a couple of problems that came up in escrow due to the sellers and they went to bat for me and won. I could not have been better cared for. They are both straight forward, honest, and personable. When problems came up they did the research needed to present me with options so I could make an informed choice. I was NEVER pressured to make a choice one way or another. If you are buying in the Reno/Sparks do not go with anyone else!"
