What Clients Say About Working With Us

“When I started looking for my first short-term rental, I had a lot to learn. Luckily, I met Murat Gocmen. He made the whole process feel manageable. His knowledge of the Tahoe market and his experience with short-term rentals helped me understand what to look for in a property and what questions to ask along the way before making an offer.”

“What I appreciated was how generous he was with his time and expertise. He listened to what I wanted, explained things very clearly, and was patient as I worked through this big decision. I always felt that he cared about finding the right place for me. Buying a short-term rental is exciting, but it can also be very overwhelming.”

“Murat was my realtor through it all. His guidance gave me the confidence to move forward, and I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a home or investment property in Tahoe. Murat, thank you, and I look forward to working with you again.”

Ankur: “When we were looking at our first houses in the Tahoe Basin, we didn't know what to look for. We were looking at so many different options online and talked to so many different realtors, and Murat clearly stood out. The moment we got in touch with Murat, he was very helpful. […] And along with that, there was a good balance in the property valuations we got through Murat.”

Riddhi: “As Ankur mentioned, Murat clearly sets himself apart. Not only did he spend time showing us all the properties, he gave us the guidance we really needed — what to look for in a house in different areas of Tahoe, which areas suit a rental property, and how to go about it. Not just from the STR perspective but from a long-term perspective — how to evaluate the property. That clearly set Murat apart, especially for beginners like us.”

Ankur: “Looking back at our journey with Murat, it was seamless. He would never push any option. He gives you his clear vision about the property — how it will appreciate, how it fits your needs, and which areas to evaluate. And the overall journey of getting the property ready for STR — working with the county, working with the inspector — he was amazing. Overall we had an awesome experience, and we would highly recommend Murat to everyone.”

“When we first met Murat, we were looking for a real estate agent who was knowledgeable in the Tahoe and short-term rental market, and someone we felt was trustworthy and could make a really good connection with. Murat met all of our expectations and more. He was extremely knowledgeable — not just with real estate in general here in the Tahoe area, but from start to finish, answering all our questions in abundance and being very patient with us.”

“Murat helped us find and evaluate the right property by being very patient with us. We thought initially we wanted to be in one area, and when we looked at a few houses there, we knew it wasn't the right spot. Then there was another property we were very interested in, and he supported us fully but also told us it was okay if it wasn't the one. That worked out, because we found the perfect home that we absolutely love, in the perfect location. With his knowledge and expertise in the short-term rental market, he was able to guide us on where would and wouldn't be a good spot to own a home — and what people look for in short-term rentals within the house itself.”

“The whole process from start to finish, Murat and his team made so much less stressful than we've experienced in the past. Top-notch from start to finish — answering so many questions, helping get the process started for short-term rentals, and making sure we passed all our inspections. He's been amazing. Would highly recommend.”

“Hi, good afternoon. We bought our home in Kings Beach and we are looking for an investment property and a short-term rental and also a home that our family can enjoy when it's not rented out.”

“My husband and I had a lot of concerns before we started our search for a property. I would say one of the biggest concerns was buying a home outside of our area that we live in. We don't live in an area that has snow. We have never bought an investment property before, and we love visiting Lake Tahoe.”

“We like the North Shore. We love Kings Beach, but we didn't know what would be attractive to prospective renters and what would make a good vacation home and short-term rental. So we were really worried about that and, of course, setting up the business properly so we could start getting revenue right away.”

“And then also how to navigate financing and what would be the best way to do that.”

“From our first meeting with Kristina and Murat, Amir and I knew that we found the agents for us. We had interviewed several agents in the area, and nobody came close to the level of communication and responsiveness and overall expertise that Kristina and Murat have, especially for finding a short-term rental and vacation home in the area.”

“I really, really appreciate their honesty when looking for a home. I knew that they would not guide us in the wrong direction and would give us really honest feedback about different properties. I would find something I'd like, and they would say yes or no, and this is the reason why we recommend it or this is the reason why we wouldn't, and then would let us make that decision while adding their expertise to this.”

“So I really appreciate that. Even after closing on our home, Kristina and Murat have been available and would answer any questions that we have and be there for us to support us through not just selling in the transaction of purchasing a home, but being there for us as we navigate setting it up as a short-term rental, navigating the local area and things that we need for the home.”

“So I really appreciate that.”

“I would tell any friends looking for a house in Lake Tahoe to sit down, identify your goals, then surround yourself with the right team. Kristina and Murat have been wonderful to work with. They have made this process seamless, as easy as it can be, and also exciting. I'm really grateful for their help, and I can't wait to continue working with them in the future.”
