What do Clients Say?

In Ethan I found an agent I could trust. There are many great traits of agents, but Trust is the one I care about most. With agents I've worked with in the past, no matter how good they were, I always had that feeling back in my mind "but does he/she really have my best interest in mind? -- or is he/she just trying to close the sale?". Then came along Ethan. From day one, he came across as partner in the process of me "buying a house in Tahoe". He was (and still remains) refreshingly honest, sincere, patient, willing to try whatever it was that I as the buyer wanted -- so long as it was reasonable. If I wanted to see another five houses, Ethan would line them up. If I wanted to make a lowball offer, Ethan would be happy to write the offer up. If I wanted to write a letter to everyone the neighborhood, Ethan was on board. So long as I was reasonable, Ethan would advise, suggest, talk it through with me, and then execute. What an agent -- and now friend -- I have in Truckee. It was a long process with the market being what it is in Truckee the past year, but Ethan worked night and day to make it happen, and we recently closed on our dream house. Throughout my entire year buying process with Ethan, not once did he ever make me feel he had to go take another call, or deal with another client. From technical questions during closing to just wanting to talk houses we had seen through, Ethan would be on the line, on FaceTime, or calling from the slopes if I caught him up there. Even after close, Ethan is there to help out and make sure the sale is finished. He doesn't have to do this, but he does it because I think being helpful is in his general nature. My wife and I were thrilled to have found an agent like Ethan, someone we genuinely trust and like.

My husband and I were lucky enough to meet Ethan at an open house. We weren’t currently working with anyone for our home search in Truckee and both my husband and I knew after speaking with him shortly that he was the agent for us. Ethan is extremely knowledgeable and professional while being down to earth and approachable. He’s always been very responsive - no matter the time of day- and went above and beyond to help us purchase our dream vacation home in Gray’s Crossing. He’s continued to be super helpful and a great resource for our family while settling into Truckee home ownership. We highly recommend Ethan and are so thankful to have worked with him!
