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 early in 2021 that we decided to sell our house in Oregon and move to Lake Tahoe. It sold quickly so we leased a place for 6 months and started our search in June last year. A close friend recommended we talk with Jean since she was one of the top realtors in the area and he had only great things to say about her. Jean really came through for us, was amazing to work with, and was super patient. She helped every step of the way as we learned about the market, what we could afford, and our specific criteria. vaults, views, and vision. It was also a time of limited inventory, fire evacuations, and competitive bidding. I was super impressed with Jean’s continuous communication, skill at negotiating/constructing the right deal, and now how great she has been post sale connecting us with local resources to help with our remodel project. If you are looking for a realtor I recommend Jean …

My husband and I owned a lakefront home in Tahoe for three years. 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 time, and considering our wish list, we knew it could be a long waiting game and take lots of luck! Jean found what she thought might be the perfect fit. She said this wouldn't last long and to get up to Tahoe ASAP if possible. We were in the car…

Jean found what she thought might be the perfect fit. She said this wouldn't last long and to get up to Tahoe ASAP if possible. We were in the car driving to Tahoe within hours and together locked down the deal to the satisfaction of all parties. She also sold our other Tahoe house very quickly! Jean is the consummate professional who really listens to your needs and your concerns. Her over 30 years of experience and local knowledge in this marketplace is unbeatable. We would recommend Jean without reservation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
