Phoebe was the realtor who sold my parents' home in Truckee, near Donner Lake. We had noticed her detailed newsletters over the years which showed a careful attention to sales and listings in the Donner Lake area. In person, Phoebe visited the home and had a genuine "real person" vibe that is so refreshing in the real estate world, bringing a careful analysis of what to expect related to the business of selling a home. Her background in biology/science leads to a unique and focused application of data analysis related to pricing and sales, but in an accessible way.
True to our first impressions, Phoebe handled several challenging bumps in the road with aplomb and was always an in-person visit, email or phone call away if a problem came up. She was flexible, open-minded, and level-headed through the crazy ride of selling a house. My parents really wanted to sell this summer, and the right buyer came along for their unique but in-need-of renovation home. Our family is also unique (and a little crazy!) and our requirements were challenging for a number of reasons. Phoebe rose to the occasion, securing amazing photos of our house and creating a virtual tour through her realty company, Dickson, arranging for a Broker's Tour, and having a discussion when we needed to adjust the asking price after zero offers. Phoebe was invaluable in her commitment to our family and maintaining her professionalism and attention to details. Their house was sold, signed, sealed and delivered in a dizzying 60 days from listing, a feat considering the age and need for remodeling and the unpredictable second home market in Truckee, especially Donner Lake. We highly recommend Phoebe for her work ethic, attention to detail and knowledge of Tahoe/Truckee/Donner Lake area. She's a pro and gets the job done. read more
