Success stories

From start to finish, I felt like I was in really good hands with Robbie. He was very knowledgeable, took the time to talk me through everything so I felt comfortable with the process, and would keep me updated so I knew how things were going. I would definitely recommend Robbie to anyone looking for a great real estate agent.

Robbie is the best. He is honest to a fault. He would never mislead you into buying the wrong house. No doubt who you would want as your realtor. Dr. WZ and GZ

Robbie helped me and my wife with our purchase of our home in Tahoe Donner 8 years ago. In addition to giving us a very helpful education about the local market and locations, Robbie's advice during all stages of the purchase process was invaluable and helped us remain focused and calm. Since then Robbie has continued to help us with recommendations about service providers and market trends. We would highly recommend Robbie to both buyers and sellers of homes in the North Tahoe area.

Robbie and Karen Huntoon have handled four transactions for us, including two purchases and two sales. The first purchase was a competitive situation in Tahoe Donner. Robbie crafted a bid strategy that won the deal at a price we were very comfortable with. The second purchase took place last year when we bought a short sale condo in a complex deal with multiple sellers and banks. We closed that deal in a matter of weeks when other condo deals were dragging on for months.The two sales in which Robbie represented took place when the market favored buyers rather than sellers. One was a unbuilt lot at Donner Lake which another agent had carried unsuccessfully for several months. Robbie marketed it perfectly and sold it for us quickly. He sold our Tahoe Donner house very quickly at a great price in a down market. His knowledge of the Tahoe real estate market and a keen sense of timing and pricing was invaluable in this sale. Specifically, he convinced us to sell the property a few months sooner than our plans, and this advice turned out to be prescient and profitable.We do not live in Tahoe full time, and Robbie facilitated all the time consuming projects that accompany a real estate transaction, such as recommending contractors for repairs. He made all four transactions simple and straight forward.I can recommend Robbie very highly. I wouldn't consider using any other agent in the Tahoe area.

We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Robbie on the purchase of property as well as the sale of our home. He is friendly, professional and knowledgeable about the local real estate environment. We appreciate his prompt attention to our requests and his no-pressure attitude about our real estate transactions. We will not hesitate to use Robbie Huntoon for our future real estate needs and will highly recommend him to friends.

As we were not full-time residents of Tahoe Donner, it was very very critical that we enlisted the services of an agent who could smoothly handle our transaction needs without us being present. Robbie's local knowledge and understanding how to handle such needs was very important to us. Just to highlight a few of the issues, As with any home transaction, we needed several small items taken care of before putting our house on the market. Robbie knows all the right local contractors to take care of such needs, and the ones we ultimately picked worked quickly, professionally, and reasonably.Robbie knows how and when to have dialog with the local realtors who were representing prospective buyers (for that matter, we had him on the other side of the transaction when we originally bought the house, so he clearly successfully negotiated for the seller when we bought). He understands how and to whom to make an appropriate counter offer.Robbie KNOWS THE MARKET. That is perhaps the most important thing for either a buyer and a seller. He suggested a range for our selling price (that was above the appraisal, by the way), and let us choose within that range. He made strong suggestions in our negotiation tactics backing them up with concrete numbers and experience. He knows how to prep a house, and how and when to show it.Robbie doesn't leave any loose ends. There are always a couple of details that seem to get lost in the shuffle with a house transaction, but Robbie made sure we didn't miss them, whether it was the transfer of utilities, notifying our insurance company, or anything else.Robbie is professional, courteous, and a pleasure to work with. He has helped us out during the whole time we owned our house, and he helped us immeasurably in selling it.
