Kate Fanter Byus

★★★★★
"We have been considering purchasing a second home for our family for years. It seemed like a distant and difficult goal considering we had to find something that would work for two separate families (five kids total) and our dad. Kate Fanter made it happen! She is not only incredibly knowledgeable about the housing market, location, and each individual home that she showed us, but she is also patient and attentive. She helped us figure out what was important to us, and she made a point of finding properties that had the attributes we were looking for. She gave us a great variety of homes to look at so that we could get a sense of what would work , but she did not waste our time with properties that were out of our budget or not close to what we were looking for. Because we don't live in the Tahoe/Donner area, everything we looked at was by video or facetime. Kate did an excellent job of giving us a real sense of each property, honestly telling us what she thought would work for us, and what would not. She was great about giving us space to think and decide, while also knowing when it was time to make a move so that we could get the property we loved in a competitive market. She went out of her way to help us and make the process as easy for us as possible. We have gained a real friend throughout this journey and are so grateful to Kate for giving us the gift of this beautiful new chapter in our lives! " - Gen, Tahoe Donner

"My family and I just purchased a vacation home in Tahoe with Kate and her wonderful team. We met Kate through a family friend and over the last year as she has helped us find the perfect home, she has become a trusted friend. She was a great listener, extremely professional, she understands the market incredibly well, she is thoughtful and strategic in her approach. It was more than showing us homes, it was providing real analysis on the properties she was sharing with us. She was able to corral the taste and opinions of me, my sister and my dad (a great feat!) who all have different daily demands of our lives and she was able to make the process of searching for a home accessible, easy and fun! Being 200 miles away didn't matter. Kate went to open houses on our behalf, sent videos, photos and she was always available. I have bought homes in the past and the closing process was so seamless. She was able to arrange for a notary to come to our house, on our schedule, with little impact to my daily life. We are SO excited to spend our vacations in this wonderful home, make many memories together and continue our friendship with Kate in the coming years. Thank you for all your help!

"Working with Kate was such a great experience. She's one of those rare agents who's not only incredibly knowledgeable about the Truckee an Tahoe Donner markets, but is also just a joy to work with. From day one, she was prepared, thoughtful and completely on top of every detail. I always felt like she had our best interests in mind and truly cared. She's trustworthy, responsive, and made the entire process feel easy. I'd work with her again in a heartbeat and can't recommend her highly enough. " - Maz & Katie, Tahoe Donner

"Kate is an outstanding real estate professional with deep expertise in the Truckee market. She's knowledgeable, responsive, and made the entire process seamless from start to finish. Kate's insights helped us make informed decisions with confidence, and her commitment to client care was evident every step of the way. I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again or recommend her to anyone navigating the Truckee real estate marketplace. Thanks to Kate, we found and purchased our dream home.

"Kate and her entire team earn five stars! Selling a home takes a lot of experienced navigation. Not a path I knew well! Kate served up a lot of great insight, support, and resources quickly to prepare for opening day, which was no easy undertaking. I couldn't have pulled it off without he and the team. And an offer above asking was accepted after just 3 days on the market! " - Jeff, Truckee
