Recent Lake Tahoe Home Buyer Testimonials

Purchasing a bank owned property can be a bit overwhelming.  When dealing with foreclosures there can be multiple offers, scary bank addendum’s, issues with having utilities turned on for inspections, out of town title and escrow companies and tight time periods. When I am representing a buyer on a bank owned foreclosure purchase, I try to go the extra mile to insure that the transaction will go as smoothly as possible.

Last week I closed escrow on two bank owned properties and here is what my two wonderful clients had to say about my performance:

To whom it may concern:

We were in the Tahoe area visiting our son and drove by a house with a REO sign.  We made a few phone calls to local Realtors then spoke to Brent Johnson who seemed to be very knowledgeable.  Brent was immediately available to help us with options and educate us on a Real estate ownedproperty.  Brent was very knowledgeable and patient and won our confidence – later that afternoon we found ourselves back in his office discussing the process and submitted an offer.  Throughout the process, which included a second round of negotiations, Brent was there as an advisor for us.   Soon thereafter we received a call that the bank accepted our offer – Brent helped us to interface with the other realtor and the bank to make a few concessions and repairs on the home before close of escrow.  Brent’s expertise and knowledge in the field made this transaction successful.

Thanks again Brent

Brent, we wanted to thank you for all of your assistance with the purchase of our house at Tahoe. Your advice in establishing an offering price was extremely useful. And your help as the house progressed through escrow was invaluable. We didn’t fully understand the challenges with purchasing a foreclosure. Living in the Bay Area we never would have been able to obtain all of the historical documentation from the city or be able to follow-up on the required “fixes” to the house. Having you acting on our behalf was invaluable.

We are very pleased with the purchase and expect that our family will have many enjoyable years at the house.

Thanks again,

Stan and Sherry

South Lake Tahoe Real Estate Buyer Testimonial

Working as a South Lake Tahoe real estate agent has enabled me to meet and work with some incredible people. I had the pleasure of helping Dan and Angie Guerra purchase a second home in South Lake Tahoe.

Dan and Angie contacted me from my website last summer about a listing in the Tahoe Island drive area. After almost a year of communication by e-mail and phone calls about market conditions, new listings, and price reductions we were able to meet and look at properties in South Lake Tahoe. After a couple of outings with the Guerras, I had a very good idea of what they wanted in a second home.

The Guerras showed great patients through out the search for their home, following price trends and interest rates. When we found the property located at 810 Michael street the timing could not have been better, Interest rates are at historic lows and home prices great.

We were able to negotiate a good price on the house, and the escrow period was smooth. Only minor repairs were found in the termite and home inspections, and we were able to work with the sellers to have repairs completed.

With buyer activity picking up nation wide the Guerras chose a great time to buy. Just in the last 8 days there were 22 properties in South Lake Tahoe that went into escrow, home buyers are now buying!

Here is a brief testimonial provided by Dan and Angie:

Dear Chase International,

 

We just closed escrow for the purchase of our vacation home in South Lake Tahoe. We would like to recognize Brent and Jill Johnson for their role in helping us to make this dream come true. Brent and Jill, as a team, were available to help us throughout our entire process, and were especially accommodating considering we are from out of town.

 

In the search for our home Brent focused in the specific areas in which we were interested.  Brent is knowledgeable about neighborhoods, available properties, and as a building contractor, building construction. He researched local regulations and talked us through many of the possibilities found for each house considered.

 

During escrow, Brent was resourceful utilizing local skilled talent and proficient at coordinating other professional services.  Brent is professional and service-oriented in his communications with us.

 

Through the entire process we were comfortable knowing that Brent and Jill were advocating for us, and in the end we are confident that we have made a smart purchase.

 

Dan and Angie Guerra 
Congratulations to Dan and Angie on becoming the proud owners of South Lake Tahoe real estate!

South Lake Tahoe Real Estate Testimonials

Hi Brent:

It’s hard to put our gratitude in words but Mike and I wanted to say thanks for all your time and effort with buying our house.  We worked with a few real estate agents over the past year and did not get the same results.

You listened to our requests so the listings that you sent us were within our price range and fit the requirements we were looking for. While touring the homes, your advice on house quality and design were greatly appreciated.   It really makes a difference working with an individual that is familiar with building houses, the real estate process as well as the Tahoe market.

Needless to say, we genuinely thank you for being flexible and answering all of our questions. We love the house and would highly recommend you to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Thanks again!

Carleen

Brent and Jill Johnson are very knowledgeable and professional. They were able to sell our vacation rental in Lake Tahoe for the price  we were asking. Brent was then able to find us a bigger new house that we were able to 1031 exchange into. We recommend Brent and Jill Johnson to all of our freinds!

Working with Chase International – and Brent Johnson in particular – has been a real pleasure.  Brent truly lives by his motto, “We’re here to make all of your transactions as smooth and easy as possible.”  Brent is eager, helpful, and willing to do whatever is needed.  I have no hesitation recommending him to anyone looking to buy or sell property in the Tahoe area.  When we sell our next house, we won’t consider anyone but Brent.

“As a first time home buyer I was very inexperienced in the details, follow up and continual negotiations involved in buying a home.  Further, in a place like Lake Tahoe where there are many realtors to choose from, I fortunately had the luck and pleasure of working with Brent and Jill Johnson.  This team not only was available at my convenience to view listings, but also truthful and ethical in helping me make a decision to buy my first home. The process was seamless, the negotiations and follow up prompt, and the personal relations delightful. As a Tahoe local I would recommend the Johnsons to any of my friends or family who need help buying or selling a home.”

“The customer service provided by Brent Johnson and Chase International was beyond the call of duty. Purchasing our first vacation home, Brent not only called us everyday, but he did a lot of work for us that we were not able to do ourselves because we live some three hours away! We met out of the blue while on vacation in South Lake Tahoe and he drove us around all day answering questions and showing us every home available in our price range. No pressure or hassles, but genuine customer service. I would recommend Brent Johnson to my family and friends because of his character, integrity, and honesty”
