We have worked with Phyllis as a buyer and seller and both experiences were top notch.

She’s a great person who is extremely knowledgeable about real estate and we would use her again.

Steve Giambalvo

The best realtor I've ever worked with!

Phyllis went out of her way to find potential lots that weren't even being listed for sale because we were having problems finding a lot with all of our requirements. When we finally found our dream lot she compiled a list of all the utility companies we would need to contact and even requested any files each company may have had on the lot. I highly recommend Phyllis if you purchasing a house or lot in the Tahoe/Truckee area!

Phyllis helped us bought our first vacation home in Truckee.

We are impressed with her professionalism. If you are looking for an agent, I recommend to give her a call. Throughout the process, I have been pleasantly surprised at the responsiveness and effectiveness of her. She is very knowledgeable about the Tahoe area and the process. She provided recommendations that helped us become more competitive. She used mixed strategy to improve our offers rather than just increasing the offering prices. For remote buyers like us, Phyllis can help you do a virtual walkthrough. Her walkthrough videos were thorough and informative. Other than the walkthrough videos, she would provide her recommendation along with comps, which was very valuable to us. In summary, we really like Phyllis. She is a great agent!

The sale of our second home at an unexpected time, in a down market, was a difficult and emotional task for my husband and I.

Phyllis understood this and took us through a process that was efficient, swift, and quite pleasant in the end. She was just a phone call away at all times. She was very knowledgeable about a volatile market, providing timely information about market changes on a regular basis. She negotiated through some difficult hurdles, and in the end, we were very happy with our decision to sell, and our decision to work with Phyllis Watson. We highly recommend her.

It was a pleasure working with Phyllis.

She made selling my luxury vacation home in Tahoe effortless for me. Besides doing all the leg work she also got more than I expected for the property. From arranging for various inspections, prepping the house for showings, and negotiating with potential buyers she did it all. She made it seem like it was just another day in the office (which I guess it was) for her. The final part of the sale seemed arduous, however she was able to guide me through the process so that it was as painless as possible. After the sale of the house she also helped me organize my exit which was definitely not part of the contract. When I needed to look at a place to temporarily rent she assisted with that as well. I can't recommend her highly enough if you are thinking about getting involved with real estate in the Reno Tahoe area.

I am happy to provide another review for Phyllis.

She is fantastic! She recently helped me purchase a lot in Tahoe Donner. Once again, she quickly understood what I had in mind. I was interested in a lot that was not on the market. Phyllis did research to learn the history of the lot, find out what the owners wanted and then negotiated hard with the sometimes difficult owner. I could not be happier!! When it is time to sell my TD condo, she will definitely be the one to put it on the market.

"I was looking for someone to assist in selling our home in North Lake Tahoe and was referred to Phyllis by a stellar agent I work with in the San Diego area. Given the recommendation, I was hopeful she could perform and she exceeded all of my expectations! Phyllis was instrumental in helping us get the house ready to hit the market and be presented at it's best. She is a true go getter with a can-do attitude who constantly works with the seller's best interests in mind. If we ever look to buy (or sell) in the area again she will be our first choice!"

She is a great agent!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This is a follow-up to the review I posted on 5/19/2021. More positive things to share!After we close the deal, Phyllis continue to help us on many other things.For example, we ordered many items for our new place. However, USPS & UPS cannot find us, so we didn't receive the packages while we were there. As we live far away from our new property, Phyllis offered to pick up the packages and delivered them to our new place. She made multiple trips to pick up items from Reno, UPS and USPS in Truckee. Another example is we wanted to have a technician come to fix some issues. However, his company's policy is a technician can only provide service when someone is home. Again, to save us a trip, Phyllis met with the technician at our home until the issues were fixed. Like many others, we experienced different challenges after we bought the new place. However, luckier than many others, our agent, Phyllis went the extra mile in helping us settle in."

"We have bought properties all over California and indeed the country, and Phyllis is quite honestly the best we have ever worked with. She is an expert in the local area, has great contacts with all of the local tradespeople and really cares about her clients. She's super responsive, great about keeping you informed on all aspects of the deal and is an all round nice person! We used Phyllis to both buy and sell our home in Lake Tahoe. When the time comes to buy a property there again, Phyllis will be the first person we call!"

"We called Phyllis when we were thinking about selling our home in 2018. We then decided to rent for a year before selling. During the rental process, Phyllis was always present, knowledge and helpful in the process of selling. She provided all the necessary information of data in regards to selling our home, selling in our area, home pricing, etc. Phyllis came to us prior to listing our property in 2019 and gave us a to-do list of minor things to do to make our home reach the fullest potential for the market. Upon completing these minor projects, our home was immaculate and ready to be listed on the market. As one can imagine selling a home for the price you want, for what it is worth on top of keeping in mind updates that have been done and comparable pricing in the area is the most difficult part of this process. Phyllis went above and beyond to ensure that we were selling in a price range that was comfortable for us as well as what the home was worth and comparable to others. Phyllis excelled in advertising our home and providing access with open houses and home showings. With her hard and continuous work, our home was sold within weeks. Phyllis is very hard-working, responsive, and really looks out for the best interest of her clients. We had no idea how much actually went into selling a house and was very glad to have a professional like her in our corner with all the resources that she brought with her. Not only is she a great realtor, she will remain a life long friend to us."

"Phyllis was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was professional, knowledgeable, responsive and endlessly resourceful. When we first started looking at homes, we were continually impressed with her grasp on the market, ability to list the pros and cons of different areas, her tips on what to look for and her ability to hone in properties that met our criteria. Once we made an offer we were amazed at her commitment to getting everything done quickly, efficiently and with constant communication. She had infinite patience explaining details to us of each paper we signed, she sought out the best people for every inspection that needed to be completed and she personally ensured that everything was completed to the most exacting degree of professionalism. She truly sets the bar high- we really could not imagine someone more thoughtful and committed to their work and their clients."
