Feedback from our Clients
After 40 years of helping people find homes in South Lake Tahoe, the thing we're most proud of isn't the number of transactions — it's the relationships we've built along the way. Finding the right home takes local knowledge, patience, and a team that genuinely listens. Here's what some of our buyers have to say about what that experience looks like in practice.
We have been using Lake valley properties for 8+ years. It is a pleasure working with Julie and her team. The staff is professional and easy to work with.

Client
Matt was absolutely wonderful to work with and so patient with us. We had no idea what we wanted when we started. We bought our home in the middle of complicated covid. We never felt pressured to make a decision. We recently referred Matt to our friends who had a great home buying experience as well.
Jacqueline Decker
Client
Matt is amazing! After falling in love with the Tahoe Keys, Matt found us an extraordinary property within days of contacting him. Given his history of professionalism and his fabulous relationships with other realtors, we got the house! Matt stayed involved and helped us make the house our home!

Buying & Selling Processes
1
First conversation
Getting to know you and your goals
We start with a real conversation — not a form. We want to understand what you're looking for, what matters most to you, and what your timeline looks like. After 40 years in South Lake Tahoe, we'll also share honest insights about the market so you know exactly what to expect.
2
Pre-approval
Getting your financing in order
Before we start searching seriously, we'll help connect you with trusted local lenders to get pre-approved. In a competitive market like South Lake Tahoe, being financially ready before you find the right property makes all the difference.
3
Property search
Finding the right fit — not just any fit
We build a personalized search around your specific needs, lifestyle, and budget. Our local market knowledge means we can tell you things about a property — its neighborhood, its history, its real value — that you'll never find in a listing description.
4
Making an offer
Strategic, informed negotiation
When you find the right property, we'll help you craft a competitive offer backed by real data and 40 years of transaction experience. We'll negotiate on your behalf with skill and confidence — whether the market is hot or cooling.
5
Due diligence
Inspections, contingencies, and peace of mind
We guide you through every step of due diligence — inspections, appraisals, title review, and financing contingencies — so nothing catches you off guard. We've navigated every kind of transaction this market can produce and we'll keep you informed and protected throughout.
6
Closing day
Keys in hand — and we're still here after
Closing day is the beginning, not the end. We'll be there to make sure everything goes smoothly, and we stay available after closing for questions, referrals, and anything else you need. Many of our buyer clients become long-term clients — and friends.
1
Listing consultation
An honest conversation about your property and goals
We start by understanding your timeline, your expectations, and your property. We'll walk through your home with fresh eyes, share what we see in the current market, and give you straight advice — not just what you want to hear.
2
Pricing strategy
Priced to attract buyers, not sit on the market
We build your pricing strategy on real South Lake Tahoe market data and 40 years of local transaction history — not national trends or automated estimates. Getting the price right from day one is the single most important factor in achieving a great outcome.
3
Preparation and presentation
Making your property shine before it hits the market
We'll advise on what to address before listing — and what not to bother with. Quality photography, compelling listing copy, and thoughtful staging guidance ensure your property makes the strongest possible first impression on every buyer who sees it.
4
Pre-market exposure
Building interest before you're officially listed
Our network of local buyers, agents, and community relationships — built over four decades — means your property often generates serious interest before it ever hits the MLS. That head start can make a real difference in a competitive market.
5
Active marketing
Targeted exposure to the right buyers
We market your property across the platforms and channels where qualified South Lake Tahoe buyers are actually looking — with strategies tailored to your specific property and timeline. You'll receive regular updates so you always know exactly how your listing is performing.
6
Offers and negotiation
Protecting your interests at every turn
When offers come in, we'll help you evaluate each one carefully — not just the price, but the terms, contingencies, and buyer qualifications. We negotiate with skill and experience to protect your interests and maximize your return through to a successful close.
7
Closing
A smooth finish to a well-run process
We manage every detail through closing — coordinating with title, escrow, and all parties to ensure nothing falls through the cracks. Clear communication, proactive follow-through, and no surprises from the accepted offer all the way to the signed closing documents.
