I would highly recommend Fancy for your next purchase or sale!!”

Fancy is hands down one of the best real estate agents we have ever worked with (and we have worked with a few). Our experience with her was excellent, she was unbelievably generous with her time, super patient with all our queries and requests, and always attended to our every question and need no matter what time of the day or how big/small of an issue it was. She helped us find our dream home in Tahoe and we developed a wonderful friendship in the process. She was kind and funny and made the whole experience really enjoyable for our whole family (including our little girls who love her!). We would highly highly highly recommend Fancy to anyone looking to buy their next home!

Fancy is top of the line! She is extremely knowledgeable about the local area, and is able to distill what the client wants and give an expert opinion on options and various properties. She is very responsive and truly feels like a partner during the whole process. She definitely goes the extra mile and I would highly recommend working with her. A true gem!!

Fancy's organized, detail oriented, and attentive approach to listing our house helped in having a stress-free sale of our home. She not only helped us to get more than our asking price, but helped to negotiate a lease-back so that we could close and move to our new house on our own schedule. I would highly recommend Fancy.

Fancy was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the process of finding and purchasing our first home! She made my wife and I feel very comfortable and always answered our questions promptly. We never once felt pressured or uncomfortable with her as our agent, and because of that, Fancy helped us remain patient until we found the perfect home for us! We can't recommend her enough!

My experience with Fancy Rutherford acting as my real estate agent. I recently completed the purchase of a residential property in Truckee CA and I was represented by Fancy Rutherford who I believe would be an excellent choice for anyone desiring to purchase or sell residential property in the Tahoe-Truckee area. This review is to describe why I can highly recommend her, but first I must disclose, proudly, that she is my daughter. Because of our family relationship she had insight into what I wanted in a new residence and what was my price range. Over the course of a year she provided me with information on general market conditions, reviewed and communicated on specific listings for a possible fit, and arranged for remote and physical viewing of properties. During the process of purchasing my new home she demonstrated her professional demeanor and skills in several ways. She was acutely aware of my wants and needs in the selection process. After several on-site inspections I had questions on the house features and she demonstrated an uncanny ability to recollect those details. This same ability proved helpful in reviewing the seller’s disclosure statement, and during the negotiating process she demonstrated both an understanding empathy together with an understated tenacity in bringing the buyer and seller together. Fancy is an empathetic, full-time, technically savvy real estate agent that communicates well and often, is a quick study in determining client needs, and is knowledgeable on local market conditions. One would be well served to select her as a real estate agent.
