Buying a home in Tahoe has been a dream of mine for years after years of summer visits as a kid. Just closed on a home there, and Brittany absolutely made my dreams come true. She was recommended to me by a former co-worker about a year ago who had Brittany sell their cabin and help them relocate to a condo.
I reached out to her then and we traded a few emails back and forth where I described my Tahoe experience and what I was looking for. I emailed her with a long list of care abouts, and she set me up a profile to automatically email me listings of anything that came up as a match. As I'm an out of towner, this was fine (although kind of superfluous, as I was a relentless Zillow/Redfin checker). One or two properties piqued my interest over the past year, and we traded a few emails with her about them, but nothing quite lit the fire enough to get me up there to take a solid look at.
Come the following summer after I first contacted her, I was up in the area renting a Vrbo on vacation and I emailed her to ask about a just seeing a few properties. She emailed me that she had JUST had a baby the previous week, but she would find another agent friend of hers to help show me anything I was interested in. We targeted a few places and met her stand-in at one and then we caravanned over to another, where pretty soon I fell in love.
I thought it over, and after a few days, decided to make an offer. Despite her newly minted 2nd time mommy status, Brittany said she was already back on the job and would help us make this offer happen. She is an absolute BULLDOG in the BEST possible way and made not being local almost no issue whatsoever. She was ON everything!! Buying a house can be stressful, but Brittany is so well connected, she managed to navigate all my concerns having it inspected by a fantastic inspector (Phil of Alpine Home Inspection) who caught ALOT of issues the sellers inspector had missed. With all that said, she still had the offer to the sellers a quicker close to make my offer the one for them to choose. Not surprisingly that made the already stressful event a bit more, but Brittany was ALWAYS there working EVERY angle we needed.
The best part is even after the transaction was completed, she is still our eyes and ears (and arms and legs) on the ground there to help coordinate a few minor things that needed tuning up before it was ready for us to call our own.
I can honestly say that I would not own my dream home in Tahoe without her. Seriously if you are thinking of buying a place in the Tahoe area, get Brittany Rupp on YOUR side. You too will end up with a dream come true soon enough. read more
