We listed our Lake Tahoe home with Celia Klein who represents ENGEL & VOLKERS. She sold it so fast I am still shocked. Living in the bay area, I felt that any potential buyer from the San Francisco Bay Area would be using the internet to search, find, and eventually buy our home. My initial interview with Celia consisted of an email that asked 7 pointed questions. I sent this same email out to 7 different relators in the Truckee/Lake Tahoe area and Celia's very detailed response not only answered the questions in a more detailed way, but it was obvious her many years in hospitality prepared her for exactly what I was looking for in a Real Estate Agent. You see, I needed to sell our home and it was critical to me that I needed an agent that would help our current renters plan for Covid19 showings, inspections, clean-up, staging etc... but mainly respect our renters privacy. This is a delicate balance. We needed an agent that cared and showed compassion for all of the parties involved. We needed an agent that would represent us as a team along with our renters. Celia was easily able to accomplish all of the tasks above with true professionalism and without "second guessing" any of her or our decisions through the entire sales process. Our renters were even happily relocated. She certainly knows how to get the job done and done well. Celia also made a huge difference in many aspects of our selling experience. Mainly, my wife and I always felt at ease knowing that Celia would protect us from any unforeseen sale issues, and get us the best price (along with several offers) the market would allow. She did that too!! If you are interested in selling your home in the Lake Tahoe or Truckee areas and want a Real Estate agent that is a few levels above the norm, Celia Klein with ENGEL & VOLKERS should not be overlooked whether you are selling a $1,000,000 home or a $25,000,000 dollar home. Rest assured, she will get you what the best in the market has to offer. We intend to buy in Lake Tahoe again and will be using Celia as our buyer agent in the future.

I am so happy we found Celia Klein to steer us through the buying process of our vacation home in Truckee! She went above and beyond with help, advise and patience. On top of that, Celia is extremely flexible and easy to work with. She found a property that aligned perfectly with our needs and budget. Everything about working with Celia was both easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend her.

Celia helped us find a home in Truckee last year. It was a stressful time to buy a home (since basically *everyone* was doing it). Celia was absolutely the best - very knowledgeable about neighborhoods, very patient with us, and really spent time getting to know what we were looking for. She also went over every home inspection report with us in detail, and gave us very honest and useful feedback. We spent many Saturdays commuting from the Bay Area and on some days tried to squeeze in 10-12 listings. Celia made everything happen and was super supportive through the process. She had great intuition on what offers we should make and when to back away from a property. She never pushed us to go beyond our budget and she gave us very informed and honest feedback. After we got our dream house and moved in (yay!) Celia sent us a really beautiful housewarming gift :) She is a warm, sweet and straightforward person whom I am happy to call a friend, and 100% recommend her if you're looking for a home anywhere in Tahoe!

I had worked with Celia’s business partner, Drew Walden, a few years ago. When we contacted Drew to help with the sale of our cabin, he introduced us to Celia and we’re glad he did. Together they made the process painless, simple and quick. They provide such high quality service, I had complete trust that they would steer us in the right direction. Celia has a wealth of industry expertise and was very knowledgeable about my neighborhood and its amenities. Her feedback regarding our sale was invaluable. The initial comments she provided about our property and how we should move forward were spot on. Celia’s honesty, excitement, positive energy, and assessments definitely eased us into the process and made us feel that she had our best interest at heart. Our home has sold, but I continue to work with Celia as a buyer and her honesty and local knowledge are refreshing and appreciated. I would highly recommend Celia to anyone buying or selling.

I cannot recommend Celia, and her colleague/ partner, Drew, enough. Purchasing a home can be such a daunting process, and the Truckee pandemic market was particularly tight. We found Celia to be very knowledgeable, responsive and she met our individual needs beautifully. We did not feel pressured to buy, and were able to pivot quickly when we found the right home for our family.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Celia Klein to sell our home in Truckee, CA, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Celia went above and beyond in every possible way. Since we live out of town, there were countless little things that could have become big headaches—but Celia handled them all with professionalism, care, and efficiency. She took care of items that weren’t even in her job description just to make our lives easier. Her dedication, communication, and local expertise are unmatched. She made what could have been a stressful process feel completely manageable. Celia is amazing, and if we had to do it all over again, we’d choose her again and again—without hesitation. Highly recommend!

Drew & his team were incredible to work with, and made our longtime dream of owning a second home in Tahoe a reality. Drew patiently worked with us over more than a year to find the perfect home. Living in San Francisco, Drew's local market expertise and willingness to quickly go scope out homes as they hit the market for us was critical. Once we found the right place, Drew helped us navigate Tahoe-specific quirks that we weren't familiar with, and made sure the entire deal got done on time, with minimal stress for us from afar. We've just settled into our new home on the West Shore and couldn't be happier! Highly recommend working with Drew and his team if you're looking for your perfect Tahoe getaway.

We have worked with Drew to buy and sell homes in the Truckee area and highly recommend him. Drew is highly professional, friendly, responsive and knows the market well.

I had a fantastic experience with my real estate agent, Drew. His deep understanding of the market and local neighborhoods was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the buying process. He was always responsive, addressing my questions quickly and thoroughly. His professionalism and expertise made the home-buying process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable agent.

A big thank you to Drew and Celia for managing every detail of the sale of our Tahoe home! We first worked with Drew in 2017 when we bought the property and had such a positive experience that he was our first call when we decided to sell. Given our busy schedules and frequent travels, Drew handled everything--staging, cleaning, inspections, scheduling, repairs, and all the coordination. Thanks to his comprehensive management, our only visit since reaching out was to move out for closing. We couldn't be more impressed!

Drew and Celia went above and beyond when helping us buy our home in Alta! From day one they helped setup showings and helped find comparable homes to the ones we checked out. Throughout the entire process they checked in and made sure we had our ducks in a row while we were in escrow. They really made the entire home buying experience a lot less stressful! We definitely will be working with them again!

Drew and Celia came highly recommended by a trusted friend to help us sell our home in Tahoe City. As real estate and Mortg finance professional in the Sacramento area with high expectations, I would like to share that I was not disappointed. Not only are they highly competent professionals, but they are also genuinely great people! They know the local market very well and were very responsive and provided clear and timely updates throughout the process. Our experience with them was outstanding!We are sincerely grateful for their efforts to help us and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a couple of outstanding real estate sales professionals to help you sell or buy a home in this market. Thank you Drew and Celia!

Drew was professional, transparent, responsive, and hard-working and we really couldn’t have asked for a better realtor while buying our first home. He felt like a partner throughout the process, advocating for us and ensuring that we found the best property based on our needs. Celia and Drew both were excellent at talking us through the process and making sure we fully understood everything, answering all of our questions with patience and clarity. When looking at homes, I was so impressed with their extensive knowledge of home characteristics. While Drew and Celia were fantastic during the home search process, they really outdid themselves when we went under contract on our house. Not only did they help us get a credit from the seller to replace the roof, they set up and scheduled general contractors, plumbers, roofers and other specialists to come give us quotes and make repairs shortly after we closed on the home. Drew was incredibly professional through some very difficult situations with various parties during the process and we could not be more grateful for him. I can't recommend Drew and Celia enough!
