Alison and Chris Herzog

I have known Elaine and her husband for the past 20 years. Elaine works tirelessly for her clients. She puts all of her energy into every transaction. Every single detail is covered, and she is available day and night. The process of buying or selling a home can be stressful, but Elaine’s sense of humor and calm demeanor make the process comfortable. She truly cares about people and it shows in everything she does.

Thanks for all you do Elaine! You are an amazing human!

The Sheets Family

Five-Stars for Elaine Durazo with Coldwell Banker Realty!

From our initial meeting, I knew Elaine was the right agent to represent our family. Immediately, her professionalism and character drew me in and I trusted her to protect our interests in the sale of my home. Elaine was thoughtful, thorough, responsive, and tenacious! She had an understanding of our situation and used her skill, drive, and extensive knowledge to make the sale given our specific needs. She intuitively shared my vision of who the homebuyer should be and was instrumental in positioning the listing to attract that buyer. She went well beyond her scope assisting in the purging of 15 years of possessions and staging the home to showcase its best features. Elaine was instrumental in bringing in offers, all of which exceeded my expectations given our unique situation, and all the while guiding us through the process in such a way that was calming, seemingly painless and stress free. We cannot express how much we appreciated all your efforts and for setting us on our new adventure – again thank you so much Elaine!

"Elaine is the perfect agent to help anyone with his or her real estate needs! We have known Elaine for about 5 years! We have worked with her as both a buyer and a seller, which can be stressful! Her expertise and tactful skills navigated us through this complicated process! Elaine is one of the most prepared and knowledgeable professionals I have worked with, but what really sets her apart is that she genuinely cares about you as a person and not just a client!"

"A number of years ago, my wife and I decided to purchase a second home in the Lake Tahoe area. We had vacationed there on and off through the years and fell in love with the area. Elaine Durazo came highly recommended as a local realtor that could assist us in this journey. We found Elaine to be knowledgeable of the area, highly responsive throughout the process, and superior in supporting the needs of her clients. She worked tirelessly to find us a home and secured us the best deal. We were extremely pleased with our experience! So much so, that a number of years later we opted to sell our Tahoe home and once again reached out to Elaine. Yet another great experience in finding us qualified buyers, securing a price above our expectations, and working the deal to closure expeditiously. In conclusion, our buying and selling experiences with Elaine were ideal, and we would highly recommend her to other clients!"

"Elaine, I just wanted to send you a 'thank you' note for everything that you did for me. Although the purchase of a home can be very stressful, you made the whole thing GREAT. Not only did I have the pleasure of meeting a wonderful Realtor, I feel I also made a new friend."

“My wife and I can recommend Elaine Durazo, a Lake Tahoe Realtor, highly and without reservation. Elaine was careful to ask questions to understand what we were looking for and showed us properties which met our criteria. She was patient with us as we looked once and looked again and then a final look before preparing an offer. Through the escrow process, Elaine worked diligently to take care of details, keeping us informed, and did what she could to move the process along. We closed on our Tahoe home before Thanksgiving of 2014. If we have the opportunity to work with Elaine again, we certainly would!”
