Thoughtful Words from Past Clients

“Team Blair helped us quickly identify potential homes, including off-market opportunities, in Incline Village when we decided to move there from the West Shore.

Timing is everything in the Tahoe market, and we are so glad we didn’t miss out on finding the ideal home on Lakeshore Boulevard for our family when it became available. Their team was always professional and collaborative. We’re so happy with how it all turned out!” - Lindsay M.

“Team Blair Tahoe was absolutely wonderful to work with as my wife and I navigated the terrain of buying a home in Tahoe during a crazy real estate boom. Team Blair was there for us every step of the way over the course of our search and truly helped us find the perfect Tahoe home for our growing family. Early on Team Blair worked with us to establish our list of desires and needs. From there we were able to weed through listings, rely on their expertise when it came to the area, and focus on houses that really met our criteria. I would highly recommend working with Team Blair to find your Tahoe dream home.”

“Jamie and his team did an amazing job helping us secure our house in Tahoe City! They stayed on top of all listings that came up and were always quick to get us into the homes. They were also amazing in negotiating our final offer with the seller in such a hot market.

On top on all of this, once we secured our home, Jamie and team helped with anything and everything we needed – from meeting with furniture delivery folks to getting any inspections we wanted set up. I recommend Team Blair Tahoe 100%!”

-Gabrielle B.

“Jamie looks out for your interest first, not his. He knows how to evaluate homes, tunes into what you’re looking for, and is patient and doesn’t push. Once you go into escrow, his team is super-responsive and knows their stuff. Thanks to Jamie and his team, we are now happy members of the Lake Tahoe community!”

- Gary L.

“Simply put, Team Blair Tahoe is incredible. There is no question in our minds that without the team’s expert guidance, we would have never been in this position. Jamie, Kelly, Emily and Nicole had our backs the entire way through the process. We knew we had to get competitive with our offer, but Team Blair made sure we didn’t pass on key contingencies or miss important deadlines. They also finessed a lot of the critical issues that inevitably pop up in a transaction this complex. Their creativity, professionalism, constant communication and quick problem resolution was astounding.”
