Jamison Blair

The Blair Team was very supportive, responsive and patient with us while we searched for the perfect place to buy. Good people to work with!

I had a very professional and seamless experience at Team Blair, specifically with my realtor Kelly Fraser. I was advised correctly every step of the way which led me to get my dream home. Once the offer was accepted Kelly Fraser's whole team worked effortlessly to keep me on track and ahead of all deadlines. I know Team Blair provided Kelly with resources and support along the way which gave me a lot of confidence knowing I was working with such a supportive group. Great person and great group to work with!

Team Blair sold our house in Tahoe and did a fantastic job! The whole team was incredibly professional and responsive but Renee McArdle went above and beyond to locate and meet with handymen, movers, stagers and any other little thing we needed as we didn't live in the area. We could not have asked for a better, more professional and detail oriented real estate team to work with and we interviewed many before we chose to work with them. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to sell or buy a home in the area.

"If you live in SF and are looking to buy a house in Tahoe, we would highly recommend Blair Group! We found them via all the 5 star reviews on Yelp and got to work immediately. Drew, Jamie and Lisa were unbelievable to work with! These guys really are the best of the best.Buying a Tahoe house from the Bay Area isn't easy and we had been tracking the market from a distance for roughly a year. A perfect house came to market, but due to timing we were unable to see the house in person before bids were due. Drew/Jamie did a video tour for us, leaned on their strong broker relationship and put us at ease with their knowledge of the market. Drew was so transparent through the negotiations and responded/got on calls at all hours of the day and night. Jamie's knowledge of the Tahoe market was insane and put us at ease with price/value. After we won, Jamie set up the inspection and did the inspection for us. The moment we saw the house, we knew we had made the right decision. It's perfect!We are so excited and thankful to have had the opportunity to work with this team. They went above and beyond and couldn't have asked for a better experience! Thanks Team Blair!!!"

"Ho Hum.....Here comes another 5 Star review of Team Blair/Compass. Short version of my story: I'm not sure you can find a better Realtor anywhere, let alone at Lake Tahoe.On July 30, 2018, my wife & I flew into town hoping to enlist a Realtor that could sell my father's house as he moved from Kings Beach to Reno. When we arrived, we had our choice down to two friends of a friend & figured one of them would end up our listing agent.When we got to Tahoe, I had no idea who Team Blair was & had no desire to add another Realtor to the interview process. Thank goodness my wife had the sense to pass my phone number across the desk of the vacation rental agency we were using when they mentioned that they were affiliated with Team Blair Tahoe. She called the agency looking for some help finding a housekeeper to clean Dad's house and, before you knew it, I've got Jamie on the phone asking if he could come by & see the property.We knew we were being ambitious. In the 6 days before we flew home, we needed to: Interview Realtors, have a signed listing agreement, get my 86 year old father out of his home & into his new address, find a moving company to pack and move his goods, and hire a junker to clean out 25 years of mess.We also needed to begin the repair process before we left town: Start getting the house re-carpeted, replace flooring, paint the deck, spruce up the yard, complete a punch list of repairs inside & out, deep clean the home, seal the driveway and finally: Find a buyer before winter set in.Jamie & Drew showed up as agreed on Aug 2 and had a plan in hand on how to get the home marketed and sold. They listened to our needs and realized we were in a unique situation: We needed a partner that would help us manage the work needed to get the house sale-able while we were back home in San Diego. Where other Realtors flinched, Jamie asked for another meeting the next day. Little did I know he was bringing along his "Closer".......Liza-With a "Z".When Jamie, Drew, & Liza showed up the next morning, their marketing plan from the day before was refined, fleshed out & precise. Liza was exactly what we needed to get us headed in the right direction. Not only did she know how to manage the work process, she knew where to point us to find people to complete the work. We signed the contract before flying back home on the 4th.Liza is incredible. She was spot on when it came to prioritizing work given our limited budget. When the carpet company I picked decided that they couldn't get the job completed until November, Liza had another guy in her address book that would turn it around in a couple of days. She was our eyes and ears while we were back home, & was quick to communicate daily details as we moved thru the repair process.Fast forward 13 days to August 17th: Workers are finishing up on a long list of repairs. The house is looking ready for prime time thanks to Liza's watchful eye. I'm looking forward to seeing how Jamie & Drew's progressive marketing plan goes once we hit the MLS. We're going to get the house on the market in a couple of weeks & I'm stoked!Unfortunately, I never got to find out how Jamie & Drew were going to put their plan into play. Before planting the For Sale sign in the lawn, they had a full price offer in hand. We accept the offer, go thru the sales process, and (with lots of help & communication from Lisa-With an "S"), the home closed on September 5th.When we started talking to friends in the business about getting some names of Tahoe Realtors to talk to, the messages were consistent: "Don't expect to find anyone who will go beyond the basics." "No one wants to work up there." "Every Realtor I know up there is a flake."Our dealings with Jamie, Drew, Liza, & Lisa couldn't be further away from these stereotypes. I'm amazed at the professionalism and sense of urgency shown by everyone at Team Blair Tahoe. The Team is smart, pleasant, convincing, and resourceful. If you're considering a transaction, do yourself a favor & put Team Blair on the top of your interview list. I can't promise they'll work a miracle for you like they worked for us, but I can promise that they'll outwork any other Realtor around."

"We live in SF and have wanted to buy a Tahoe property for years. We found Jamie through Yelp and "interviewed" him, as well as several other agents, over the phone. Jamie put us at ease for two reasons - he demonstrated deep knowledge of the area, having grown up in the area and lived there for nearly all of his adult life - and he was great to talk to and discuss our ideas of what we were looking for in a property.Jamie was very flexible with our schedule, and did a lot of work to make sure that our trips to look at properties were productive and timely.Jamie helped us refine our search. We started in Donner Lake, looked all over Tahoe Donner, Tahoe City, Alpine Meadows, and finally found a perfect place for our family in Squaw. Throughout the process Jamie provided all of the information that we needed to make decisions. When it finally came to negotiating a fair price for the property, he again went above and beyond, helping us resolve issues before they became a problem due to his extensive knowledge of the area.After the transaction, Jamie has continued to provide tremendous value - connecting us with outstanding contractors who are currently doing work on the property. His team at Team Blair has also gone above and beyond repeatedly to make sure that the property and the experience have exceeded our expectations.Thanks Jamie and Team Blair for all you have done, and continue to do, to make this home buying experience a positive one. We look forward to seeing you on the mountain this winter."

"The whole Team Blair (Jamie, Drew, + Lisa were our primary contacts) was so great to work with. From my very first phone call where I asked Drew a billion questions to the care they took to help recommend contractors / electricians / handyfolks for fixes and improvements on our new Kings Beach cabin, my husband and I couldn't have asked for a better realtor team. Lisa is about the most on-top-of-it super-organized person I've ever worked with, and Jamie + Drew really made it feel like we were their most important client, even though I know they have so many deals going at once. They were great listeners, responsive, helped us get to a great purchase price, and easy-going. As an interior designer in San Francisco, I've worked with and interacted with plenty of real estate agents, for my own home and clients' homes, and for anyone looking to buy property in North Lake Tahoe, Team Blair is the absolute best. Hope to never sell our dream cabin, but if we ever do, we'll be calling."

"Considering that the gang at Team Blair receive nothing but 5 star reviews, this review is redundant and unnecessary. But my wife and I are so pleased with Jamie, Nicole, Lisa and their amazing team that not writing this review would reflect poorly on us.We decided to list the property on very short notice, so we stumbled into the Team Blair offices on a Saturday just to inquire whether they might be willing to stop by the next day to take a look at our house. We were told that Jamie was traveling and that a couple of their realtors were out of town that weekend, but Nicole said that they would do their best to bring a few team members by on Sunday. The next day, Nicole and 5 other pleasant women from Team Blair showed up to take a look at the house. We immediately felt that these ladies were genuine, competent and had our best interests in mind. We signed on without ever having met Jamie. Team Blair had our home listed in a matter of just a few days.Being absentee owners during the sales process, we needed our realtors to manage every detail for us. And from appraisal to inspections to shoveling snow to cleaning the house, that's precisely what Team Blair did. And they kept us in the loop every step of the way. At no point, in what turned out to be a rather complicated, drawn out transaction did we ever lose faith in Jamie and his team. They helped us get an offer in a matter of days, they got the appraisal to come in at value, they handled the negotiations in a professional manner, and to top it off Jamie personally picked up documents in San Francisco and drove them back to Placer County to speed up the closing. With Yelp, it's easy to find a good realtor, but people at Team Blair are more than good realtors, they're good people. They care about their clients and they go the extra mile to make sure you feel it."

"Me and my wife were looking around Tahoe Area for a 2nd home, we contacted Jamie through yelp and Drew/Lisa @ Jamie's team have been helping us with our hunting.We just closed our purchase at Tahoe City and the whole process / service we received from them are awesome and comprehensive, I am a person into details and they have provided with everything I could asked for.Professional, easy to work with, and always prompt response to any random questions we have got. I will trust them for any further endeavor of our Tahoe investment."

"My family just purchased our dream vacation home in Dollar Point thanks to Jamie Blair and his amazing team. Jamie was patient with us while we waited to find our perfect home. When we did find it, Jamie worked tirelessly to ensure our offer was accepted in a multi-offer situation. We can't thank Jamie and his team enough for making it happen."

"Jamie exceeded our expectations every step of the way on our journey to purchase a home. We've been looking for a vacation home for over a year in Dollar Point. Jamie was so patient with us while we looked at many options. When we finally found the one, Jamie ensured we were in a position to get it. We were so lucky to work with Jamie who always had early access to homes that were coming on the market."

"We are two families who were looking for just the right house to accommodate 4 adults, and 4 wild boys. We had the good fortune of being introduced to Jamie and the team early in our hunt. Jamie spent a good deal of time with us to understand exactly what we were looking for, and quickly started to send options our way. Within a couple of months we had found the perfect home and were off and running. Jamie expertly guided us through the bidding process, counters, etc. He really went above and beyond for us and we are thrilled.No review of Team Blair would be complete without a big shout out for the back office staff, Lisa especially on logistics, and Drew for going out of his way for us. A top notch operation for sure."
