Thoughtful Moves

"Clara was the perfect realtor for our challenging situation. Cantankerous seller (my 80-year-old dad), tough market environment. She was a "bee-charmer" with my dad and had incredible local knowledge (in this case, her parents own a house across the street from us in Rubicon Bay). She persevered through some tough moments and found us the one buyer. Great job."

"Clara's performance in aiding us with the acquisition of our mountain residence was truly exceptional. Her profound understanding of the local market proved pivotal in establishing a competitive purchase price, all the while taking into account the property's future resale value within the region. Clara displayed extensive involvement throughout the entire closing process. Her approachability, responsiveness, consistent check-ins, and invaluable counsel were consistently impressive."

"Clara was excellent and even sold our cabin without being on multiple listings. Very responsive and caring in taking care of our property. She was very accommodating in helping us sell our place remotely, as we are non-owner-occupied. I would highly recommend Clara."

"Clara did a fantastic job helping my fiancé and I find and purchase our first home! She was responsive, professional, and went above and beyond to help us navigate a difficult market for our first home-buying experience. Clara found amazing homes for us to look at and gave us the honest pros and cons for each property. She did an excellent job working with the sellers to negotiate the best deal for us. We are thrilled to be in our dream home and credit Clara for making it happen seamlessly. I highly recommend you reach out to Clara if you are looking for a realtor."

"Clara expertly guided us to a house that’s perfect for our family. She had great intel about the house and the sellers and was instrumental in helping us come to a mutually satisfactory price. She went above and beyond, too — she helped us inventory the cabin, gave us access to local resources for housecleaning, snow removal, etc., and was super responsive and helpful even after our house closed. This is our second transaction with Clara, and we wouldn’t consider using anyone else."

"Clara was a dream to work with! I was in the market for a lot without a realtor; she ended up representing the seller and me. She was fair on both sides and a pleasure to work with. After multiple interactions with realtors in the area, it was apparent she was a shining star. She was kind, helpful, precise, and above all, quick. Which we all know is the only way to win in the market these days. Thank you for helping us!"

"Clara was an exceptional agent for a few reasons. First, she was ultra responsive any day of the week. Secondly, as soon as I found a house I loved, she made sure there was nothing that could stop us from being selected by the seller in a fairly competitive deal. Lastly, being that I was a first-time home buyer, she easily and clearly walked me through the buying process. If I buy another home, I will definitely work directly with Clara."

"Could not have had a more positive experience with Nate and Clara. Not only did they have excellent firsthand knowledge of the area and local market, but their network of local contractors, inspectors, and lenders also helped me make the most informed decision possible when purchasing my home."

"We worked with Clara to sell our condo in Tahoe Vista and it was the smoothest and fastest sale ever. We had an offer within a week of signing with her, and we closed 30 days later with no problems. This was our second home so we were able to complete the entire transaction remotely. She was very professional and very helpful in getting us through all the paperwork. We had daily communication with her and were very happy with the results. We highly recommend working with Clara to sell your home."

"Clara was out of town when we originally connected. She connected us with another realtor who showed us several condos. When Clara returned, she took us to several of the same condos and ultimately helped us find a condo that we made an offer on, which we decided not to accept the counteroffer. Then followed up and showed us the right one. Clara was invaluable to us during the loan process and helped us close with a difficult lender. Thank you, Clara, for all your support! What a great asset you are in getting us into the best option for us!"

"Clara has seriously been the best real estate agent we’ve ever worked with. She’s So patient and takes the time to truly understand what her buyers are looking for. She walked us through every step and kept us so well informed throughout the whole process. We are so grateful to her and we not only feel we had a great agent but that we now have a new friend! Thank you Clara!"

"Clara was really responsive since the beginning and would always answer a text or call promptly. She dedicated a lot of time to show us around to different homes. During the negotiation she advocated for what we wanted- the red chairs! And of course she made sure we got all the paper work done on time, the inspections complete, etc. Once we got the house she even helped us clean out the junk that was left behind! She is personable, thorough and has great knowledge of the area."

"We had a great experience with Clara. She excels in all of the categories! Clara’s follow through with details and transactions was on point. Clara knows the Tahoe area and was able to suggest some additional properties to look at in person that were not standing out in our online searches. The property we ended up purchasing was not one that we had selected online for viewing but was suggested by Clara."

"Clara is a great person to work with. She made the buying process smooth and easy. She's motivated, responsive, positive, and knowledgeable. She always shared her professional opinion while still factoring in my thoughts and experiences as home buyer. I highly recommend her as a real estate agent for buying and selling property."

"I would recommend Clara to anyone looking to buy a home. She went above and beyond to find me the exact type of house I was looking for, and then she continued with that level of professionalism all the way through until the keys were in my hand. She was a pleasure to work with and I would definitely do so again!"

"Clara was great from beginning to end of the process, very helpful, explained everything really well. Super knowledgeable and made the entire process a walk in the park."

"Clara was amazing to work with. She's well organized, efficient, responsive, and very knowledgable. She listened to what we wanted and made it happen. We couldn’t be happier with our home buying experience."

"We couldn't be happier with how thorough and supportive Clara was throughout the entire purchasing process. She has great communication skills and vast knowledge of the market in Tahoe. She continues to be helpful long after the close and wouldn't hesitate to use her again!"

"Clara was an absolute joy to work with. She was responsive and proactive – not to mention extremely patient – throughout the home buying process. She worked extremely hard on not only finding the dream home for our family, but also negotiating and coordinating on our behalf each step of the way. I also can’t say enough about her integrity: it was clear that she would rather lose a sale than put us in a home that wasn’t perfect. Once the final paperwork was signed, we walked into our new home and were greeted with a custom-built sign with our last name to display, a bottle of champagne, and several of my favorite beers. Her positive attitude, thoughtfulness, and vast knowledge of the market or industry made what can be a stressful time a total breeze. I will enthusiastically refer her to anyone in the market to buy a home, and look forward to working with her in the future."

"Clara Tate was the best thing to happen to us in selling our Lake Tahoe home. She is warm, gracious, always responsive to questions, phone calls, emails and texts, no matter what the time. She knows the area well and is realistic in her pricing. She went above and beyond what we thought an agent would do for us, and couldn't have been more helpful. We see a long, fulfilling career ahead of her and would recommend her with the highest rating possible, she's that good. Sam and Daryl Statler."
