"When I decided to sell my Tahoe home it was a tough decision. I had put a lot of time and energy into this home to make it my own and by this time it was finally in perfect condition. The decision to sell came to me as I was not spending enough time there (Tahoe is my 2nd home). I met with Clayton and he put together an incredible marketing package that far exceeded my expectations. Website, digital campaign, social media campaign, magazine editorial and direct mail. He brought in an expert photographer and we staged the home. In 5 days I had an offer well above my asking price. It was just what I had hoped for. We listed at 950K and sold for well over a million which is what I thought it was worth. Once in contract we put together a closing timeline and I had weekly updates on each step of the way. I highly recommend Clayton to anyone looking to list their home. He's smart, charismatic and a joy to be around. The guy work's extra hard so you can be sure you're in good hands. Plus his connections in the Bay Area really put your property where it needs to be shown. Hope this helps your decision. I'm not one to do reviews normally but this was too good not to. Thanks for everything Clayton!" - Eric

"We just bought our first home with Clayton's help, and we're so excited! Clayton was super quick to respond, incredibly helpful, informative, and insightful. You can tell he is passionate about what he does and passionate about life in Tahoe. He went above and beyond offering guidance, referrals for future upgrades, and literally even offered to help us move haha. We ended up getting a great deal on our house and Clayton just as excited about it -if not more so!- than we were... there was absolutely zero traces of a REALTOR® trying to get the biggest commission for himself. Can not recommend him enough! Thank you thank you!" - Shauna C

"Clayton was an amazing REALTOR® and he seems to know everyone which made getting things done 10x faster than our prior experience with other agents. He's extremely responsive and we would recommend him to everyone looking to find their new home in Lake Tahoe." - Julia S

"Clayton embodies all the qualities and integrity of a really good REALTOR® who you can trust wholeheartedly. Clayton became our REALTOR® in February of 2021 when we started our quest of buying a home in Truckee. The thought of not being local to the area and having to manage the whole process remotely was not only daunting but very scary for us. Clayton literally was our eyes and ears and helped us navigate through the entire process of vetting out houses and actually helping us buy the right one. He is very pragmatic, meticulous and patient, so much so that on occasions he has dissuaded us from bidding on a house that we would have regretted later due to its price, topography, slope direction, layout or the overall condition. And, he was RIGHT all along! These are extremely rare qualities to find these days especially given the cut throat real estate market. He always put our interests before his and truly believes in helping his customers find the right house. He is totally plugged into the Tahoe real estate market and knows the ins and outs of the area, community and the growth potential of a certain location. We consider ourselves very fortunate and grateful for all the support and guidance that Clayton provided us throughout this process." - Nirva K
