Great and knowledgeable
Ali and John were very professional and quick to answer any questions I had. Thank you very much for your great work, we love our new house.
Ali and John are great. Lots of realtors are not. They really added a lot of value to the whole process from whom to call and how to resolve issues with the property.

Ali & John were awesome! Our transaction hit a lot of snags with the lender and title company, but Ali really pushed hard to make it all come together in the end.
Very helpful, accessible, quick response times. Gave me a lot of time as I'm new to the Truckee scene. Grateful I had their help, highly recommend.

Ali and John are great to work with. Besides being professional and knowledgeable they are great negotiators. I have had three transactions with them which pretty much says it all. This last transaction had a few challenges. I knew a lot was going on behind the scenes but Ali and John kept me out of the politics and kept us on track. To me the transaction was seamless. Their follow-up is great, too. A few weeks after we closed escrow, I had a problem with the water heater. They immediately jumped on it, got me connected and the problem was solved. One other thing which is important to me, they always return phone calls because one of them is always available. To me, their service and skill level is priceless.

John was very thorough when helping us with our inspection report, understand the report and getting us many estimates for repairs. He was very patient with all our questions regarding this process. Ali was more than willing to help out even after close when we needed help accessing our condo for a property manager. We appreciate all the help from the Liptrot team.

Ali & John were unbelievable in helping me secure my first home. They were very knowledgable about the local area and immensely helpful before, during and after closing. I would not hesitate to recommend them to my friends & family.
Ali and John Liptrot make a wonderful combination. Ali is extremely knowledgable about the Lake Tahoe Market and what to expect. She has an excellent reputation in the brokerage community that helps her get deals done. She is always looking out for the best interest of her clients and will fight for you to get your home. In the highly competitive market these are very rare qualities. I highly recommend her to represent you on a purchase or sale of your Lake Tahoe home.
John and Ali both work absolutely professionally and came to my rescue upon firing my previous agent based on truly unprofessional behavior.

Ali and John have provided me excellent RE services in the last 1.5 years. They provide me with good information about an area and provide honest feedback for listings. They will tell me "No, do not buy this" when it's a bad deal. They move fast when need be and respond promptly to inquiries.

Selling your home is a daunting task. So many moving parts that are out of your control. For someone who's been in the biz for over 25 years, that was very hard to do. Of course I had a huge list of what I was looking for when choosing the agent to work with:) Ali & John met just about everything that I could ask for and MORE! House went into contract like 4 hours after we officially listed and Ali/John negotiated the final sale price ABOVE THE LISTING PRICE! Throughout the transaction, they constantly communicated with us and made sure everything was in order. WHAT A REMARKABLE TEAM! THANK YOU ALI & JOHN!
I hope the space here is big enough for me to write this comment because Ali and John have been really great! We don’t live in Nevada so had Ali visit the houses we liked and give her feedback. We had never met her before this purchase but all the feedback we got from her was very sincere. So we really appreciated that and she helped us find our dream house in a very short time. They always went step further and were very responsible. So if you are considering buying property they are the right team to work with.

Ali and John were a great team to work with. Although it took us almost two years to find the right home, they were extremely patient and helpful through the entire process. We worked mostly with Ali, and she took the time to really get to know us and what we were looking for in a home. And now even after closing they have made themselves available to answer questions and work with the sellers agent to complete promised work on the home. We very highly recommend Ali and John!
Ali kept me constantly updated and was always available for questions - the homebuying process was very low stress for me because of all of the work that she did.

John and Ali help us with the probate sale of two properties. The owner had lived out of area and estate Administrators both lived far out of state. Each property had different and unique issues complicating their marketability. John and Ali went out of their way in doing leg work for us and helping us to determine the best way to market them. After the sale, they assisted with removing and storing personal items until we were able to pick them up. They were a pleasure to work with and would gladly do so again.

This is the third home I've purchased a home and Ali and John are the best ever! There were a couple of problems that came up in escrow due to the sellers and they went to bat for me and won. I could not have been better cared for. They are both straight forward, honest, and personable. When problems came up they did the research needed to present me with options so I could make an informed choice. I was NEVER pressured to make a choice one way or another.
If you are buying in the Reno/Sparks do not go with anyone else!
Ali and John were very helpful in the process of buying my first home. Trustworthy and responsive. Followed up with me on the regular. very knowlegable agents. Would definitely use them again.

I have worked with many realtors over the years, and found John and Ali to be one of the best! They are very professional and knowledgeable, and work well as a team- always available, always reply promptly, excellent in their knowledge of real estate and the Tahoe Donner area, and very good at negotiating a fair deal whereby all parties are satisfied. They went the extra mile by seeking bids, getting second opinions and taking care of inspections etc when we couldn't be present.
They are long time residents of the area and are a big help in acquainting those new to the area.
I would definitely recommend them for your purchase and for your home sale( they helped us both purchase and sell homes in Tahoe Donner)
Ali and John were, simply stated, the most responsive and helpful real estate agents I have ever worked with. They could not do enough to help us and went the extra mile in every way possible. If the scale went to an 11, I would give it. This may sound like an "over the top" review, but truly reflects the experience we had with Ali and John in searching for, then ultimately closing on the property. And, our situation was a bit extra challenging due to us being out of the country buyers, and using an out of state lender. Well done Ali and John !!!
John and Ali were always responsive to our inquiries and were good negotiators during closing. They were also helpful in getting information regarding the property- for instance they got estimates regarding a potential remodel for us.
My only negative comment is that they did not "find" us properties to look at nor did they preview them for us before we came up to see them.
Ali and John were great. Incredibly supportive, flexible and a pleasure to work with. They did a great job of working through all the challenges of buying a newly constructed house that was part of a 1031 exchange - both challenging endeavors in their own right. I highly recommend Ali and John to anyone looking for a property in the Truckee or Tahoe City area.

Ali new I was interested in a developer's lot and called me the same day this lot came on the market. When she said it would "go quick" I dropped what I was doing and met her at the lot. She didn't disappoint me. It was exactly what I was looking for. We immediately wrote up an offer and submitted it. Although the seller countered, Ali negotiated a "fantastic" deal for me. I am the happy owner of a great lot. We begin construction next week. She is an awesome agent in all respects. Want a good agent ... call Ali Liptrot. Signed, "a happy camper".

From our first phone conversation when John answered the office phone while on floor duty, to the last bit of panic over the change in the title insurance within hours of recording, both of them were a constant source of support and guidance throughout our experience purchasing a vacation home in the Sierras. As an experienced Realtor myself, I know what it takes to serve your clients well; and they both met our highest expectations. Their knowledge of the area and the specialized features and requirements of mountain properties is impressive; they both remained enthused, and tireless throughout some difficult spots in our decision process…when we had questions, they found the answers. They were always there for us…most professional, calm, cheerful and responsive. We will recommend them... Show More
Ali and John were great to work with when I recently sold my home in Truckee. They were professional, thorough and most importantly, they stepped in when the buyer's agent did not perform which prevented the deal from falling apart and escrow falling through. Ali and John were always on top of keeping me informed on a regular basis on what was going on during escrow, contingencies and inspections. They were also a great resource for moving companies, who to contact on or before closing like utilities and where to dispose of furnishings that we did not want to take with us. I would highly recommend this team to any buyer or seller if you are looking for a quality experience in buying or selling a home. Last and most important, they are great negotiators and were able to get me top dollar... Show More

Ali and John went far beyond what could still be considered part of a realtor's job description. They've been extraordinarily responsive and pro-active. I’ve been looking into purchasing a home in Truckee / Lake Tahoe area for over 6 years and changed my real estate agent to Ali and John earlier this year. They provided me with more properties of interest in a few weeks than my previous agent did in years. And they were quick to get my offer in and close the deal. Ali’s and John’s individual strengths complement each other very well which makes them a strong team. Should add that the property was very unique and therefore provided lots of interesting challenges which were well navigated by the CalNev Team.
John and Ali are by far the best real estate agents I’ve worked with. They’ve been absolutely on top of every aspect my purchase transaction from the beginning to the end. They’re very knowledgeable in their work and simply get the work done.
I’m also a real estate agent in CA and happen to know a few things about real estate transactions, and also real estate agent performance in general. Above statement is calibrated to many years of being around real estate transactions and various professionals in that field.
I highly recommend John/Ali team for your next real estate purchase or sale.

Both Ali and John were supportive in all aspects of the sale of our house. They helped us with moving furniture to various charities on their own time. Not only did we sell our home, but we made 2 friends in Ali and John.
