Testimonials

"Toby was fantastic to work with. This was my first time buying a home and he was incredibly knowledgeable. As we viewed many homes, he patiently walked me through the buying process and answered my long list of questions. I was looking in a competitive market and was prepared to go through several rounds of offers, but Toby's excellent negotiation skills won me a great house with my first offer. I have been very happy here and I highly recommend working with him." - Steven R.

"Toby went over and above to help my family find our dream cabin in Tahoe! His professionalism shined through as he ensured we were informed and comfortable throughout our transaction." - Brian P.

"We were very impressed with Toby’s professionalism. He was in constant communication with us and did an excellent job of marketing our home-away-from-home. Toby's kindness and understanding made it easier for us to turn the keys over to new owners who will love the house as much as we did!" - Dan & Ann R.

"Toby recently helped us find and purchase a second home recently in Truckee. He did a great job from start to finish. He knew the market, quickly found us the ideal property based on understanding our needs, then skillfully guided us through the offer, negotiation and escrow process." - Alec & Libby D.
