I'm an older guy (67). But the only word I can think of when expressing my thoughts about Margo is, "AWESOME". We accepted an over asking price on day 5 of our listing. She made the process very easy. If you are considering buying or selling a property, don't make a mistake. Have Margo watching your back.

Margo is the best! She knows the area very well having lived there for a while, and because of that she's able to give you lots of knowledge about what to look for in homes around this area. She is very accommodating and responsive, she will come well prepared when she takes you to see homes. She made our home buying experience a very smooth one and I highly recommend Margo to anyone looking to buy a house in Tahoe/Truckee area!

Margo is absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond to help us find the perfect property. Went tour 10s of places for us, sent videos and photos. She was level headed and calm during the search and during the purchase process. She also went above and beyond after we closed the house and has helped with contractors, deliveries and anything that was hard for us to get to while not there locally. She is truly amazing and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy in the North Lake Tahoe area!

Our agent, Margo Laustsen, made selling our home stress-free. She has a deep understanding of the market and trends.  She gave us expert advice and information to make informed decisions on the list price and the best offer to accept.  Margo always had our best interests at heart. We appreciated her honesty and transparency, and in awe, we are amazed by her unrelenting work ethic.   Margo was an absolute pleasure to work with. With deep experience and complete dedication, she was on top of every detail, from our initial inquiries to the final closing. Her professionalism, knowledge, and kindness made for an incredible experience. Margo’s preparation and planning of every detail of our listing resulted in our property selling in 8 hours.  We could not have asked for more!   We give Margo our very highest recommendation!

We are very grateful for Margo’s expertise and patient help guiding us through the sale of our vacation home in Tahoe Donner. She has a comprehensive understanding of the market in the area and did a great job of educating us about marketing and pricing considerations. She and her staff were highly organized and helped us get our house on the market quickly, with thorough guidance about needed repairs and great recommendations for local companies that could carry out the work efficiently and for a reasonable price. She was always available for answering questions, letting workmen in, and keeping up with all the necessary paperwork. We appreciated her dedication and the energy she expended in showing our house, holding open houses and communicating effectively with potential buyers and their agents and her skill in negotiating and closing the deal. And of equal importance with her skill and competence as an agent, was her warm personality, patience and communication skills. We never felt rushed or pushed into making decisions or taking action. Our home sale went very smoothly and we couldn’t have asked for a better partner to work with us. Thanks, Margo!

Margo did a great job helping us stay positive in a process that took a lot out of us. We are so thankful that her positivity helped us get our home sold at a price we were extremely happy with.

Margo was an excellent agent representing us in the purchase of our condo. She has expert knowledge of the local area, sales history, construction, amenities and local industry personnel. Margo went the extra mile to help us explore areas we thought we might be interested in around the Tahoe basin and represented us very well from offer through closing and beyond. We would highly recommend Margo for your real estate endeavors in the local area.
