Jean is the total professional, dedicated to this business with passion and purpose. She knows the neighborhoods, markets and all the nuances that affect pricing. She aggressively crafted the offer and hammered away until we had our deal. She managed the entire closing process. Why would anyone trust what is for most the largest financial transactions in their lives to anyone less committed to their career? Jean is the best and we always look forward to recommending her.

Jean was my agent in the sale of a lakefront home at Tahoe in 2000 and a commercial property at Tahoe in 2001. As a result of those experiences. She is my agent for the sale of a historic mansion at this time in downtown Reno. Jean is honest and intelligent and I highly recommend her as a real estate agent.

Jean Merkelbach is an excellent Realtor and business person. Her knowledge of the Lake Tahoe and Reno markets is amazing. Jean is very well connected and is creative in her thinking. She makes challenging transactions seem easy. She has been a tremendous help to me and my family with our real estate needs.

Jean is the most impressive real estate agent that I know. She is extremely adept in successfully managing complicated transactions, far above the paygrade of many. We have used Jean on multiple occasions spanning nearly 20 years and highly recommend her. She is the consummate professional.

Jean is an amazing Realtor. She is passionate about meeting the needs of her clients. She worked tirelessly to find us the home of our dreams that would also accommodate our blended family. Both the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new home were seamless transactions thanks to Jean's expertise. Jean is a true professional and expert in Northern Nevada real estate. I would consider Jean not only my Realtor, but a trusted friend, who goes above and beyond for her clients!

We have known and worked with Jean for a number of years. Jean is honest, extremely professional, reliable, always stays in touch, loyal, and dedicated to her clients, she is completely knowledgeable and always up to date about the nuances and moves in the real estate market. For a number of years Jean managed our property in Skyland, NV. She always protected our property and handled the tenants. Whatever she suggested about maintaining and upgrading the house, we did. We just completed a sale on it, and couldn't be more pleased. Anyone who becomes a client will be in the best hands possible. We will continue as clients for our future real estate transactions. We highly recommend Jean!!!

Jean is very knowledgeable and professional. She helped sell my house and was present for each showing. She helped me go through the process smoothly.

My husband and I owned a lakefront home in Tahoe for three years. We loved living on the lake but decided we wanted to find another home on the lake that met more of our needs, including being permitted for one or two buoys. The Tahoe housing market, especially for lake front homes, is crazy due to high demand and very limited availability. But it was especially crazy last summer due to the ramifications of Covid and the new ability for many to live where they want and to work remotely. Furthermore, we wanted a home that was updated, newly remodeled and turnkey with furniture if possible. With such a small pool of homes available at any given time, and considering our wish list, we knew it could be a long waiting game and take lots of luck! Jean found what she thought might be the perfect fit. She said this won't last long and to get up to Tahoe asap if possible. We were in the car driving to Tahoe within hours and together locked down the deal to the satisfaction of all parties. She also sold our other Tahoe house very quickly! Jean is the consummate professional who really listens to your needs and your concerns. Her over 30 years’ experience and local knowledge in this market place is unbeatable. We would recommend Jean without reservation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

What a pleasure it was for us to have Jean Merkelbach as our realtor to purchase a building for our Chabad at Lake Tahoe Jewish center. Jean proved herself to be professional, knowledgeable, kind and patient every step of the way. She went above and beyond to meet our needs. She is genuine, a good listener and always a step ahead in getting the job done. She professionally guided us through the process and is a good negotiator. She knows what she is doing and it is no surprise to us she is a top listing broker and so well liked by her clients. We highly recommend Jean for your all real estate needs.

It was early in 2021 that we decided to sell our house in Oregon and move to Lake Tahoe. It sold quickly so we leased a place for 6 months and started our search in June last year. A close friend recommended we talk with Jean since she was one of the top realtors in the area and he had only great things to say about her. Jean really came through for us, was amazing to work with, and super patient. She helped every step of the way as we learned about the market, what we could afford, and through our specific criteria...vaults, views, and vision. It was also a time of limited inventory, fire evacuations, and competitive bidding. I was super impressed with Jean's continuous communication, skill at negotiating/constructing the right deal, and now how great she has been post sale connecting us with local resources to help with our remodel project. If you are looking for a realtor, I recommend Jean without any hesitation. Thank you Jean we love our new house and could not have done it without you!!

Jean listened to us, she is the only broker who appreciated the full value of our home and willingly listed it for what we wanted it. She professionally guided us through the process and was a good negotiator. She knows what she is doing and it is no wonder she is a top listing broker.

Professional, knowledgable, goes above and beyond to close a deal. Her ability to work towards resolution in conflict is immense. She is patient and a good listener providing a forum for positive real estate transactions to occur.

Jean is a high level real estate broker who we turned to when our other realtors could not sell a property after a year. She's aggressive for her clients and thinks well beyond the local boxes for marketing and positioning. We turned the listing over to her and she got the sale and other offers pretty quickly.

Jean was very patient with us, we looked for over a year before finding our home. She was always professional, and didn't seem to get frustrated. We are now in escrow on a larger home which she found for us and our present house is listed with her. Jean is always a pleasure to work with, and she has a no-nonsense attitude.

Extremely knowledgeable,very bright,and knows how to negotiate on your behalf.I was very impressed by how much Jean knew about the markets she served,not only what was on the market,but what may becoming on the market.I had previously dealt with someone who knew only how to bring me to home that was on the multiple listing,but was limited past that point.

Jean is the most impressive real estate agent that I know. She is extremely adept in successfully managing complicated transactions, far above the pay grade of many. We have used Jean on multiple occasions spanning nearly 20 years and highly recommend her. She is the consummate professional.
