About Jean

Unbelievably fabulous! We had another agent for well over a year - Craig could not do in that time what Jean was able to do in 12 days! And she had a backup offer! We thought maybe it was the market. maybe how things work in this area? No, we just needed a real realtor - Jean communicated, worked (hard), and appropriately advised. She was courteous, professional, and completely above board. Save yourself time, frustration, and money - go to Jean first to just get the job done, done right, and save you time and money!

What a pleasure it was for us to have Jean Merkelbach as our realtor to purchase a building for our Chabad at Lake Tahoe Jewish Center. Jean proved herself to be professional, knowledgeable, kind, and patient every step of the way. She went above and beyond to meet our needs. She is genuine, a good listener, and always a step ahead in getting the job done. She professionally guided us through the process and is a good negotiator. She knows what she is doing and it is no surprise to us she is a top listing broker and so well-liked by her clients. We highly recommend Jean for your all real estate needs.

It was also a time of limited inventory, fire evacuations, and competitive bidding. I was super impressed with ...

We loved living on the lake but decided we wanted to find another home on the lake that met more of our needs, including being permitted for one or two buoys. The Tahoe housing market, especially for lakefront homes is crazy due to high demand and very limited availability. But it was especially crazy last summer due to the ramifications of COVID-19 and the new ability for many to live where they want and to work remotely. Furthermore, we wanted a home that was updated, newly remodeled, and turn-key with furniture if possible. With such a small pool of homes available at any given tim...
