Andrew & Rachel San Francisco, CA
"Lawrence Realty was a pleasure to work with on our recent Tahoe home purchase. Larry, Chiara and Ron were knowledgeable about the area, as well as proactive and diligent throughout the process. Their hands-on guidance was especially helpful for us, since we live out of the area. Thank you for helping make our dream of owning a house in Tahoe a reality!"
John Eagle, ID
"Chiara was an excellent realtor. She has an extensive knowledge of the Olympic Valley market and its clients’ seasonal desires. She was very proactive at managing communications, but very personable at the same time. She was very professional and her office went above and beyond to be sure everyone was kept in the loop during the process. Highly recommend Chiara and Lawrence Realty."
Haz Los Altos, CA
"Chiara and her father Larry went the extra mile. They found multiple potential buyers and were able to close the deal on my house in a timely manner."
Diane Lincoln, CA
"Chiara Gajar is an amazing realtor with Lawrence Realty in Olympic Valley, her family’s company. They have provided excellent service in the valley for a long time, all of them work together as a seamless team! Chiara took on our incredibly difficult condo sale. We were so grateful to her experience and professionalism to guide us through the sale process. She is so patient and understanding, we felt very fortunate to have her as our guide."
Ying & Qishu Saratoga, CA
"We had a fantastic experience with Lawrence Realty from the get-go till we completed the purchase. We heard about them from a friend because "they have extensive knowledge of the housing market in Palisades", and reached out during a weekend when we set our sights on a condo. Chiara and Larry were incredibly responsive and helpful for us to make a decision and secure the deal on the following Monday. Chiara was very flexible and accommodating to show us the condo via video chat and provided detailed description inside the unit. She continued to help us to communicate with the seller during the loan process. We are very grateful for their support, which made our purchasing experience easier and memorable."
Dwight & Kathy Berthoud, CO
"Chiara and Larry have helped us with two challenging properties during some very challenging times. Over the last 50 years I have worked with many fine real estate agents but none any better than these two. Beyond being great communicators and totally honest, they are smart, energetic, always focused on putting their clients first, and genuinely nice people. They spot opportunities, anticipate problems, and tackle all the details, while always remaining analytical and positive and taking care to never overstate a situation or create unrealistic expectations. Above all, they get the job done. I recommend them unconditionally. "
Laila & John Portola Valley, CA
"Chiara and Larry of Lawrence Realty helped us purchase our first property in Olympic Valley. When we asked friends for recommendations, they said Larry knows everything there is to know about real estate in the area and was by far the best person to work with. They were right. We very quickly understood the real estate landscape in Olympic Valley and narrowed down the options to what we needed. Both Larry and Chiara were always available to talk and meet to show us properties, get the relevant information targeted to what we cared about, helping us make quick decisions that let to us finding and finalizing a purchase in 3 months from beginning to end. They are professional and a pleasure to interact with. I can strongly recommend both of them to anyone who is just exploring or who knows what they want as I think they will follow the needs of their clients. Should we have other realtor needs we will look forward to working with them again. "
Zara Menlo Park, CA
"It was a great pleasure working with Chiara. We appreciate Chiara's deep-rooted knowledge of the Lake Tahoe region and remarkable professionalism. Chiara made sure the process went smoothly from start to end. She goes up and beyond to make sure the needs of her customers are met. We enjoyed having Chiara as our real estate agent and very much look forward to working with her again in the future! "
Bill Olympic Valley, CA
"I always tell people how Larry guided me on my remodel of my Squaw Peak condo and helped me see I really wanted to move to Christy Hill. Like having a great doctor, attorney, accountant, or other professional relationships, it’s critical to have an ongoing relationship with your realtor even if you’re not currently in the market. I’d look at ways to facilitate these relationships with those you know and those who will benefit from getting to know you."
Travis Tahoe City, CA
"It was great working with the Lawrence Realty team. They are long time Tahoe locals and really understand the intricacies of the North Shore market. The advice given throughout the whole process was genuine and truthful and instilled confidence in me as a buyer. I can't wait to enjoy my new Tahoe home for years to come! Thanks Larry, Chiara and Ron!!"
Danny & Debby San Francisco, CA
"We contacted Lawrence Realty early this year to inquire into a listing on the West Shore, and Chiara rapidly responded and set up an appointment for us to see the home in which we were interested. From that moment to the closing of our transaction, our experience with Chiara was simply fantastic: she provided numerous comps to help us evaluate price and value, was always immediately reachable, shared her expansive knowledge of the market, answered every question we had in a comprehensive manner, gave us very meaningful advice on the different possibilities location-wise given our interests and lifestyle, and was very effective to our benefit during the negotiation process. She made the entire experience a pleasure. Following the closing, Chiara has continued to provide a lot of practical advice to us and otherwise remained available as a resource to help us with our move to Tahoe and mountain living. We could not be happier about our experience with Chiara and Lawrence Realty [and our move to Tahoe]!"
