In late 2023 we began our search for a multi-use property in North Tahoe, we envisioned a modern build to serve as our company's HQ. We were seeking a truly unique space to host clients and partners, have kick-off meetings, team building events, and serve as a wellness retreat for our executives. At times this plan seemed like a pipe dream, until we happened upon Fancy Rutherford and Justin Swett, from Tahoe Mountain Realty. From the moment we met they were so delightful, helpful, encouraging, understanding, and ultra-knowledgeable about the local North Tahoe market. We visited several properties together until we found the perfect place, however it was still under construction. Unbelievably we were able to secure the property before the build was completed, and without any competition or multiple offers to contend with. Now our new HQ is complete, and yes it exceeds our wildest expectations, just as Fancy/Justin did throughout the entire process!

Exceptional and outstanding, are a few words that describe our realtor Justin. Our family made a difficult decision to sell our cabin and move closer to town, with less stairs and overall less work. It was filled with emotional attachments and uncertainty. Justin was compassionate, and thoughtful throughout the process of both selling and buying. He spent countless hours looking for our new property while trying to check all of our boxes. Most importantly he took the time to know us and our lifestyle. He pays attention to every detail and then some! He kept us on track, a great communicator, informing us of every development. Justin was professional and knowledgeable, answered questions quickly, and helped us through every step of buying and selling. He went above and beyond our expectations, making sure things went seamlessly. Overall by far the best experience we have had buying and or selling a property. We would highly recommend Justin to anyone looking for an agent. We are grateful for having his expertise, and support during this Journey.

I can’t say enough how amazing and professional Justin was through out the whole process of finding the right home for me. His knowledge of the local market, being a long time local himself, made things easy in a market that’s far from easy to deal with. His expertise, patience and knowledge are unmatched! I love the home we ended up finding, within the budget we had.. it was truly a WIN! So if you are looking for the BEST realtor Justin is the guy!

Justin Swett was a phenomenal agent/realtor in facilitating the purchase of my new home in Gray's Crossing, Truckee. He's a total class act, and is dedicated to his client (me in this case) 24/7 with unparalelled responsiveness. He took care of so many details very effectively that made the process much easier. I appreciated this because I also run a small law firm far from Truckee and have lots of family obligations which limited my available time. He has great local knowledge, quickly understood what sort of home I was seeking, and showed me quite a few "ballpark" options. He kept after the other parties involved in the home purchase (escrow company, developer and subs finishing the home, inspectors, etc.) so my role was easy. He continues to follow up on any stray punch list items or small issues that arise even after closing. He negotiated a favorable deal for me. He was a pleasure to deal with in all respects. He's become a friend in the process. I would highly recommend Justin of Tahoe Mountain Realty to anyone seeking a residence in the greater Truckee/Lake Tahoe area.

“Justin is the consummate professional and an all-around great human. We weren’t sure what we were looking for - small vintage cabin in the woods, in a development/near skiing, north or south shore, now or later. Justin identified homes for us and also went and viewed them in person for us as we were out of the area. He did detailed walkthroughs and researched the properties in detail, including calling in specialists to help us asses different situations in a very crazy market. He was honest with his assessments and I trusted his judgment completely. Once we were in contract on a great house, Justin went out of his way to set up inspections, engineers, general contractors, etc to help us make good decisions for the purchase and beyond. We knew he always had our best interest at heart and I can genuinely say through the experience he has become a friend. Justin has my highest recommendation and if we are ever contemplating being in the North Lake Tahoe market again, We won’t hesitate to call Justin.”

“Top notch support for our remote buying experience Justin helped our family find the perfect mountain getaway house in Northstar, remotely from the bay area. He was extremely knowledgeable about the many locations in and around Lake Tahoe. He helped us manage all the information with a Google shared folder as well as sent videos and arranged multiple appointments where he was at the property to represent us. That made it very simple to make decisions and plans as a team. He is incredibly responsive and fun to work with. I highly recommend Justin for your home hunting.”

“From the start of our first initial call with to signing the closing papers Justin was fantastic. He quickly responded to all our questions about the various neighborhoods/areas, provided local insights based on what we wanted, and in the end found us our perfect home. He communicated every step of the way during the transaction process. He even surprised us by installing the lock we wanted without us even knowing to make it perfect when we moved in. I would highly recommend Justin to anyone looking for a home in the Truckee/Lake Tahoe region.”

“Justin is incredibly personable and responsive. He's knowledgeable about the local market and community. He helped us list our home and sell it immediately, and purchase another home in Truckee. The process was incredibly complicated and he was a wonderful thought partner.”

There are a ton of agents out there and I’m glad I selected Justin! It took me 2 years to find the right property at the right price in Tahoe with him and he was there for every question and bit of intel I needed to score a great home. He’s incredibly knowledgable about local trends, politics, investment factors, and local resources to help you size up the best property in a competitive environment. He even helped me with a lot of little post-purchase move in logistics and issues. Super nice guy too. I hope I get the chance to work with him again.

Justin was one of the best realtors of the many I've ever worked with. Buying property 200 miles from home accentuates the need for a skilled broker with excellent communication skills and follow through. Justin made a potentially difficult process easy. He deftly guided us through the offer/counter offer process with supporting data and objective advice. He worked with our busy schedule and was always available to chase down issues and answer questions. His follow up on the myriad of little details involved to close made the process seamless and closed one week ahead of original schedule. Thanks Justin!

Justin Swett is the best real estate agent I've ever worked with in over 20 years of buying/selling. He was a true consultative partner throughout our property search journey in Truckee, CA. His expertise in Tahoe real estate is unmatched, and he possesses an incredible ability to identify hidden gems in the market. Justin guided us with precision on how to navigate niche locations and seize the best investment opportunities. What sets Justin apart is not only his expertise, but also his responsiveness and extensive local resources, which proved invaluable in our overall acquisition planning process. One of Justin's standout qualities is his dedication to shaping his clients' perspectives. He took the time to educate us on viewing properties from multiple angles – that of the buyer, seller, and future buyer – which empowered us to make informed decisions on which properties to pass on, and which properties to go all in on. In a low inventory, highly volatile market, he brought logic, calm, and reason which helped us be patient. We needed to strategically game the offer/counteroffer process to end up with a win, and we did. We were able to acquire a property below market value. Justin's not just an agent, but an expert consultant – exactly what we were hoping to find. If you're in search of a local, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely dedicated real estate professional in the Tahoe area, I wholeheartedly recommend Justin Swett.
