Being a first time home buyer the process seemed both daunting and downright scary. After looking at real estate for months online I finally made the plunge and contacted a realtor, Greg Ochoa.

Being a first time home buyer the process seemed both daunting and downright scary. After looking at real estate for months online I finally made the plunge and contacted a realtor, Greg Ochoa. I cannot express how grateful I am for all the guidance, determination and time Greg spent working with us. Greg is motivated and knowledgeable yet laid-back and approachable. No question was too stupid and no amount of panic or anxiety on my part could shake him. He is professional and adaptable to any situation leading him to be an excellent advocate for his clients. He was able to read our personalities and find us a home that was perfectly suited to our family’s needs. His upbeat character made house hunting a fun process. His creative eye helped us to see the potential in properties that we might have originally passed up. Most importantly he helped us find a perfect home. In negotiating the contract his advice was spot on and helped us to both get a great deal and great home.
Greg did an excellent job helping us find a 2nd home in the South Lake Tahoe area. He is an expert on this real estate market and his advice was critical for us when considering the pros/cons of various properties. We appreciated his honesty in assessing each home and he took time to understand our requirements and preferences as home buyers. He showed us properties consistent with those requirements which made the search process much more efficient for us. His advice on quality of construction, neighborhood, pricing, etc. was especially valuable for someone outside the Tahoe area. Greg's assistant Janet was also great in managing the closing process after we went into contract and she always responded to my inquiries the same day and followed up on actions. They are both professionals and I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a home in the Tahoe area.
I highly recommend Ian McCloud as your Real Estate Agent in the Tahoe area. He is knowledgeable about the Tahoe real estate market and was able to share insights about local neighborhoods, roads, winter conditions and other factors that might have influenced my potential purchase. He was very responsive and patient in making time to show me multiple properties on many different visits and he worked hard to find properties that met my needs and expectations. He was careful and thoughtful in anticipating the negotiation process and had referral contacts able to provide advice and assistance with financing. Besides Ian's many qualifications, I found him to be a genuinely nice person: intelligent, hardworking and honest in representing my real estate interests. I highly recommend Ian McCloud!
Ian is by far, the best real state professional we have ever worked with. We clicked right away upon meeting him. He was very responsive to our needs without being pushy or too laid back. He sent us listings from the MLS through the internet. Even though we thought we weren't ready to buy, we set up a day to view several houses. House #5 spoke to us and we put in an offer right away. We had many questions since this was to be our second home and we had been looking at the idea of renting the home out during peak seasons. All questions were answered and our excitement started to build. There were other offers in addition to ours but with his helpful suggestions, we had the winning offer! The house just closed, we got the key and now a new chapter in our lives begins.
