Phyllis helped us with our first ever real-estate purchase. She was amazing to work with, and we…read morecan't recommend her strongly enough. We found a Truckee condo that we were interested in, but live 4 hours away. Phyllis worked remotely with us and was our eyes and ears on the ground. She's an excellent communicator and knows the area extremely well. She explained everything we needed to know clearly and patentiently. Once we decided to move forward, she made the entire process go smoothly and helped us write our winning offer. She always made sure we had a complete understanding of next steps and did all the legwork. Phyllis was always available for a phone call whenever we had more questions, and she met us and the home inspectors at the property several times. Overall, Phyllis was just plain amazing to work with. If we ever buy or sell property in the North Lake Tahoe area again, we'll definitely work with her again.

I found Phyllis on Zillow while doing some searches for a vacation home in Truckee. We were…read morefamiliar with the area, but not familiar with buying or owning a second home. I happened to contact several agents via Zillow, and Phyllis is an agent that stood out from the rest. She was kind, patient, and understanding throughout the whole process. Phyllis took the time to understand what we wanted, and also was a great local connection while we live in San Francisco full-time. She often knew someone who could help, got quotes, ran issues and questions to the ground and also went above and beyond contacting neighbours on our behalf to get the scoop on things. I truly believe because of that legwork, we got a bargain on our home because it seemed scary but as we peeled away the apparent issues - it showed up as a gem. Phyllis did a good job of laying out the things we should consider before buying a place, and helped give us a sense of real estate values in the area and also was good at pushing us when needed - new properties that would move fast, understanding the pace of Truckee real estate market (more listings in the summer, slower in winter). More importantly - she brought our attention to our house that seemed out of our reach, but was actually only priced that way - we ended up with it being in our price range, and Phyllis helped negotiate to a reasonable price point very well. Her local knowledge helped us directly. This was my first home purchase but I know it's been more complicated than most deals. Well Water, Property Line questions, easements and building codes to insurance and former title mis-recordings all plagued our home search - but Phyllis uncovered, explained and worked hard to make sure we were covered in the end. These are issues that do not often come up "in the big city" - so in a way, buying a home is much more involved in a rural area like Truckee. Phyllis is someone I trust implicitly, which is important for a real estate agent working with many customers who don't live in the area. As a bay area resident myself - I can honestly say that having a great agent in the Truckee area makes everything easier and more comfortable. I feel that Phyllis went above and beyond several times for us and in fact, I was told by MY MORTGAGE LENDER (QUOTE): "Also, I wanted to say that I think your Realtor, Phyllis Watson, is amazing. She is one of the best I have worked with in a very long time." That's a pretty awesome unsolicited review if you ask me. Reach out to Phyllis and see what it's like to have a great agent who isn't pushy, and is on the lookout for you while you're working away in the city!

She secretly went behind our backs and directly called our lender, who I told her who we use and told her we won't be able to sell our property, Kendra wanted us to use her lender which we did not want to use because we have used our lender before. Thank God she showed her true colors before we signed a contract for her to list our property for sale and buy another property. She did not think I would be told what she had done. Pure evil to try and get what she wanted!!!!

My brother lives in Incline Village and recommended Janice Schaaf to us. During our 6-month search for a condo in Incline Village, we experienced first-hand Janice's expertise, guidance, sound knowledge of the market, good business mind, her many connections in the industry, the respect she garners from her colleagues and, most importantly, her understanding of "our" needs and personalities. Janice even arranged to show us property via facetime when we could not fly up from LA to see units in person. She never applied pressure on us and was always responsive, thorough and patient. Janice has a pleasant demeanor, great communication and walked us through every step of the process, including inspection, escrow until we officially closed. We were extremely impressed and happy with Janice's superior services and would HIGHLY recommend Janice Schaaf to be your realtor! Magda and Glenn S.

I cannot thank EBA enough for their hard work for finding a home for me and my husband! Cody was so…read moregreat to work with. He is professional, knowledgeable, prompt and very readily available (and also very flexible)! He not only knows the Reno community well, but what is considered a fair price for a home. He has a keen eye when taking you to homes and will show you things that you may have not noticed yourself. Another thing to note is my husband and I were first time home buyers. Cody walked us through the process and made it understandable! If I were to buy another home in Reno, I would absolutely use EBA again. I would also highly recommend EBA for any friends and family that are in the area looking for a home! Thank you Cody, DeeDee and the entire EBA team!

Had the 'Angels' sell our house which sold in 2 days but not all due to their help: it sold in 2…read moredays b4 any advertising went out, so we could've planted a 'for sale by owner' sign in the yard as it was a desirable location. Anyway, after all said and done they assisted us as a 'buyers agent' in purchasing a townhome. Great we thought! So, they made 36k off sale of our house and received a nice buyers fee from purchase of 2nd home. Since the closing ( ~3 months) we've received mailings to please 'refer these realtors' but we have not received any thank you card or gift or any kind. We actually purchased from seller a plantar box as Debbie (realtor) bought it out from under us and I was able to purchase it from her when she realized I had first right of refusal. Long story short, she ended up buying it from me, but shorted me some money! I would also state to STAY away from her handymen they recommend as Elmer the painter left us with quite a mess we had to clean up b4 we could close! Nothing like additional last minute work when you're stressed! Unfortunately we liked these 2 'angels' but after all said and done, we would've used other agents. Things could've have been better if: They listened when we said things in new house were not working b4 closing and questioned inspector, Not insisting we spend $ on things to repair ( again their handymen they recommend) only to find out these were a waste of $ and time Playing both sides; not working for us 100% Overall, not bad realtors, just not wiling to give 100% to the seller who they're representing and earning monies from. A nice gift or card following close of both homes would've been appreciated

She's lived in Reno for a long time and didn't even need directions to get from house to house (she could navigate there just with the cross streets!). She showed us parts of Reno we didn't even know existed. Since we were relocating from the bay area, we also had our dogs with us a couple of times we were in the area - and Ardea didn't even blink an eye at us brining them along to look at houses, letting the ride in the back seat of her car. She never pressured us to make an offer, and really wanted to make sure we found something that worked for us. She sent us a thoughtful house warming gift after we had closed, and also has customer appreciation events. I would definitely work with Ardea again if we ever needed to purchase another house!
