One of the best decisions we’ve made was to contract with Christianne Gordon and Steve Orear at RE/MAX Realty Affiliates to handle our short sale. Short sales are notoriously difficult and time-consuming due to all the parties involved and conflicting interests. Because the banks and mortgage companies have a different agenda than the sellers this can quickly become adversarial. Christianne, with her knowledge of the market conditions, along with her determination, tenacity, and persistence was finally able to push this sale through with a win-win solution favorable to both buyers and sellers. There were many road blocks put in place along the way by mortgage holders that would have frustrated many other real estate agents who probably would have given up but not this team. When the going got tough, they got tougher and used their leverage and strongly-worded letters to ultimately accomplish a satisfactory end. We strongly recommend them for any real estate transaction…and especially for those where you need a strong team in your corner looking out for your best interests.

Steve and Christianne are an awesome father/daughter realty team. I am so thankful that I contracted with them. I was selling my sister & her husband’s home after they passed away…These two REALTORS always were honest, up front with the facts of the market in a downswing and yet so determined this pretty ‘old dwelling’ would sell with the Seller’s benefit in mind. I thank Christianne and Steve for their professionalism, honesty, and most important to me – their integrity.

Dear Steve and Christy,

We are so grateful for your help selling our home in Reno – you both were so knowledgeable about every aspect of selling homes, you were always easy to get in touch with – no matter how small or large the question was, you always kept us informed of what was happening every step of the way, and we really enjoyed your friendly, personable, positive attitude. Thank you so much!

Dear Steve and Christy,

Working with Great Nevada Homes has been a great experience as a first time home buyer.

Dear Christianne and Steve,

My husband and I felt you were extremely helpful in finding us our new home. You both were very professional and knowledgeable about the area and the individual homes we looked at. We could trust your opinions as well as your ideas and suggestions. What we really appreciated was your willingness to work with our advisors through this process. Thank you for being the professionals that you are! Another thing we appreciated was not being too pushy or overbearing during the search and decision making processes. There weren’t a million phone calls or emails and we didn’t feel rushed or pressured. Again thank you for making it a smooth process!

Dear Christianne,

We would have never closed on our house if it weren’t for you. We’ve purchased multiple homes over the years, but never had an agent as diligent and timely as you – you replied to our requests so quickly! Rest assured, you are the only agent we will ever use in the future!

Dear Steve and Christianne,

We enjoyed working with you on our recent house purchase. You answered all of our questions in a very timely way and you were always available to show us the house and get us any information we needed. You also made this sale go very smooth and fast by personally delivering all the documents that needed to be signed.

We were also impressed by the very professional but yet very friendly and personal way that you treated both parties involved. We hope we can have the opportunity to work together again.

Dear Steve and Christianne,

Lane and I would like to thank you for a most professional handling of our real estate situation in Gardnerville. Starting with the great communication up front by explaining what we could expect in a very difficult market. In looking at my notes from our first meeting it actually turned out exactly as you said. The length of time you predicted to complete a sale in this market was correct, the amount of the sale was within a few percentage points. Most importantly to us were the following:

1.) Christianne’s expert job of staging the home.
2.) Stephen’s & Christianne’s knowledge of the market.
3.) Continual updates on where we were.
4.) The above and beyond the call of duty displayed by you. Helping get things out of the house, constantly making yourself available for those to whom we donated furniture to.
5.) The most up to date marketing tools, from the “Talking House”, to internet, to mailing people in the area to let them know it was available.
6.) Going the extra mile to work around our schedule which is always unpredictable in our business in the fall.
7.) Actually driving all the way up to Tahoe to get papers signed (when gas prices were at their highest), and even delivering things that we may have forgotten.
8.) Your understanding of my emotional frame of mind since it was my mother’s house, and your sensitivity in handling things so I did not have to spend much time there.
9.) Your continual “What else can we do?” attitude” toward the project.
10.) Your rallying of the real estate community to show the home.
11.) The most important thing may have been their Positive Energy and Enthusiasm. Stephen told us “We can sell this house”.

Lane recently said she wished you can handle our holdings in Calif. and Arizona, and of course I concur! Thank you again for your care, your professionalism, and your belief and commitment to excellence.

Hi Steve and Christianne,

This is a pleasure to respond to your request. We have been trying to formulate a “Thank You” to include all the accolades you have earned. We have been residents of the Carson Valley since 1981, and as such have used different Realtors for both residential and business. By far you have been the hardest working Realtors we’ve known. We were impressed with the exposure you gave our property using far reaching advertising, and at your own expense. We also really appreciated how accessible and personal, yet professional you both are, we could always reach you by phone, with every worry or question. (A rare luxury in this day.) Your knowledge of real estate and your keen eye for detail have served us well. In each transaction you kept our best interests in first place, which saved us needless expense down the road. We recommend you to everyone without reserve. Thank you again for your friendship, and work ethic.

With Appreciation and Love – Bob and Linda Blackford

Dear Steve and Christianne,

Thank you both very much! You both are very understanding and respectful of our time. Thank you both for respecting our time as we both tried to respect yours! I am sure we will be doing future deals together. Thanks for the excellent gift. We really appreciate it. Again, thanks and may you all be healthy, wealthy and wise.

Thanks – Carlos and Ondy Valladares

Steve,

We just wanted to send a note of thanks for the top notch service you provided us during the search for and eventual purchase of our home in Minden. Living over 600 miles away and communicating mostly by email, you made our search easy because you were always willing to tour and photograph the properties we were interested in, thereby saving many hours of needless on-site visits for us. As a result, when we did visit Minden and meet with you, we had a much clearer picture of what we were looking for, and we have you to thank for helping us find the perfect property. Your continued help through the purchase process and your dedication to us as clients made us truly appreciate your level of expertise and professionalism in your field. We are very pleased to have a new home in Minden, but even more pleased to have you, Steve, as our friend.

- Lillian Rosen & Randy Nickson
