As busy physicians and parents, we relied upon Peter and Trish’s professional real estate expertise to help us acquire our wonderful new home in Lake Tahoe.  We were so pleased with their competent and friendly service, that we hired them to sell our home in Carson City.  We had experienced several unsuccessful escrows with another Realtor, so finding Peter and Trish was a real relief.  Being absentee owners, as well as being away on a planned vacation – Peter and Trish made all of the arrangements with their “Team of Professionals”, to prepare the home for hitting the market in the best possible shape.  We knew they were taking care of things, so we could focus on our own priorities.  We received multiple offers, including a full price offer within a week of the home being listed - due to proper pricing, advertising and a great Virtual Tour and photos that showcased the uniqueness and desirability of our home.   They kept in communication with us throughout the entire home selling process, and handled the rough spots of today’s real estate market with complete confidence.  We can without hesitation recommend Peter and Trish to anyone looking for the services of a great Realtor Team!     ~ Dr. Kerry and Dr. Cynthia Novak 

Peter and Trish were referred to us by my sister and her husband, who had purchased a luxury home with their assistance earlier this year.  They were very pleased with the competent attention they received, so we trusted Peter and Trish to help us find our dream home too.  They made the home shopping process easy and enjoyable, by listening to our needs and wants, and quickly zeroing in on just the right home.  They handled all the details of the offer and inspections for us, making us feel comfortable with our purchase.  Peter took charge when we ran into hurdles with our lender and really went to bat for us.  We appreciated their positive attitude and communication throughout the escrow period, and feel we have met not only great Realtors, but also new friends.  ~ Keith & Michele Freeman

Peter and Trish really took great care to find us the right home. As first time home buyers living away from our parents, Peter and Trish truly wanted to make sure we did the right thing, found a great home, and made a sound investment in our future. They were an extra set of parents, helping us make good decisions! With their extensive knowledge of the industry and our market, as well as the ability to spot sound construction and modifications, we were talked OUT of homes more often than not - an indication that they really wanted us to find our right home.  ~ Rebecca Wikler & Brad Allured

We highly recommend Pete and Trish for all your home buying needs, whether you are first time home buyers or experienced home buyers.  They went above and beyond our expectations to ensure our first home buying experience was a success.  They used kindness, honesty, patience, and knowledge to keep us informed every step of the way.  Together they listened to our needs and desires for our future home and applied them to the current housing market to find us the best house possible. They took extra measures to ensure our house closed in a limited amount of time, due to a pending deployment.  We are the happiest we have ever been in our new home because of their help, we certainly could not have done it without them. These are the type of realtors to keep around for a lifetime.  ~ The Sutliff Family

 There's no greater feeling than knowing your clients are in great hands!  During the last five years I have had nothing but wonderful experiences shared among the clients I have referred to Trish and Peter for Reno area real estate.  Each and every person has been treated with the utmost of consideration and thoroughness.  It is a pleasure doing business with Trish and Peter, I always look forward to the opportunity to recommend their services!  ~  Mackenzie Martin,  Realtor  Century 21 at Tahoe Paradise

As retirees leaving Southern California, we were referred to Trish and Peter by our Realtor to explore our Nevada home options and we couldn't have been more pleased with their service.  We made it clear to them that we were undecided about whether we were going to purchase a home in Nevada or California, but that did not make any difference in the attention we received. Trish and Peter took the time to understand our needs, and the types of homes and features we were interested in seeing. We appreciated that they listened to us, and arranged very specific home tours in Reno and Lake Tahoe. Their knowledge of the area, quality of construction, and financing alternatives were a great benefit to us in our home search.  While we ended up purchasing a home in Truckee, California, to be close to family, we would certainly recommend Peter & Trish to any of our family or friends who were looking for a home in Northern Nevada.  And due to their sharing of knowledge regarding various loan options, we found out about the “Reverse Purchase Mortgage” program and are taking advantage of that to purchase our home in California.   ~ Dave & Judy Brown

 My Husband and I are both new to Sparks.  We started looking for a Home to make together in Toscana, the 55+ community.  We are Seniors and were planning on getting married as soon as we found the home of our dreams.  That is where Peter and Trish came into our lives.  The two of them work together flawlessly as a team.  We fell in love with a house that was perfect for our needs.  We wanted to get married in our new home and beautiful backyard and invited Trish and Peter to stand up for us.  Trish not only took pictures but actually put together a beautiful photo album for us.  She and Peter are wonderful people and Realtors.  They take a personal interest in their clients and knock themselves out to make sure you are totally satisfied.  We were equally impressed with the care they gave to the seller, who needed some assistance in getting the paperwork accomplished.  In our estimation, you cannot have a better team working for you.  They treat you like friends and remain that way.  Two thumbs up.    ~Joe and Sharee Williams   

Many thanks for your patience, kindness, understanding and support as we made this long journey from our log home in Pennsylvania to our lovely new home in Reno. As we prepared to make our trip and move to Reno, Dave was lucky to find you, as your guidance and advice related to rental properties and homes was greatly appreciated.  Finding the perfect home to buy was much easier than we anticipated. The hard part is walking through the paperwork, deadlines and stress of staying on the mortgage and escrow timelines!  You led us through this, making each step seem easily accomplished with your calm and stress free approach. We have felt your presence from the starting point to the final move in day, and every step along the way.  You both have made this dream possible for us and we are extremely grateful to have found you!     ~Dave & Deb Mensch

We are happy to recommend Trish and Peter for sellers or buyers of Reno/Tahoe real estate.  They recently helped us purchase a bank owned property and were so helpful and knowledgeable during the entire process.  The property was listed at a low price so the real estate commission earned by Trish and Peter couldn't  have been very much, but they were just as conscientious in their attention as if they were helping us purchase a high end property.  Trish always promptly returned emails and phone calls and Peter's expertise in construction helped us evaluate the level of work required to make the property livable.  They make a great team!      ~Sandra and Mark Bovee

 Buying a home was initially scary, daunting, and even seemed to be ‘the impossible’ for us. However, our fears were calmed by Trish and Peter from our first phone call all the way to signing closing papers. Trish was extremely proficient in returning e-mails, answering calls, and really made us feel like family. Peter‘s expertise in housing technicalities was extremely valuable as he foresaw valid issues in potential homes before we wasted time and money on an offer and inspection. Now that we’re in the home we love, he’s even given us the perfect plan for our kitchen remodel! For Trish and Peter, being a Realtor is not just their day job; it’s clearly their passion, their knack, and they do it with excellence.   We imagine if we had been faced with different Realtors we likely would have ended up with a house we weren’t pleased with or perhaps no home at all. Instead we are settling down in a home we can’t wait to start our lives in. We recommend Trish and Peter without hesitation for their knowledge, reliability, straightforwardness and care.              ~All our best, Chris Wilch and Randi Hecht

Glenn and I wanted to let you know what a fantastic job you did for us on the purchase of our home in Sparks.  I have been in Real Estate for 17 years in an administrative position and have known hundreds of agents during this time.  The two of you have exemplified what Realtors should be.  Your knowledge of the market conditions, inspections, what we wanted and general knowledge in this sluggish economy are what got us through some very difficult months.  Not once did you show your frustration over the situation (all lender related). We were able to develop a good friendship over that time and we will recommend the two of you to anyone who is looking for confident, intelligent and very savvy Realtors.  It has been a pure pleasure working with you.      ~ Meg and Glenn Sevrens

Thank you for all of your hard work on getting the house ready, fixed. and sold!  You made the process very easy, and I will let all of my friends know about your service.  I have one friend and two other people I know personally that are realtors and I would recommend you guys over them.  No single person would have had the time and experience to get our house ready to sell with such little effort on our part.  You guys went above and beyond what most would have done.         ~ Best, Steve & Stephenne

 

Working with the Thiele/Rice group has been this first-time home buyer's dream come true. The juxtaposition of skills that Peter and Trish bring to the table provided the perfect compliment to answer all of our home buying questions and concerns. From start to finish, Peter and Trish provided us with all the help we could have asked for and more. Their dedication and commitment to finding our perfect home was unwavering from day one and their unwillingness to compromise on our criteria kept us on track to find the home that was perfect for us, and not to settle for less than what we wanted. For that, we cannot offer any more sincere thanks to both Trish and Peter, and we cannot recommend them more highly to any prospective home-buyers.   ~Cody and Andrea Grigg

 

I just can’t imagine having made my move without Trish and Peter!  From the day they listed my house, I knew I was in good hands.  They sold my home in under 2 weeks, after having it on the market with another agent for over 2 years.  They were in contact with me every step of the way, and even helped me pack my house and move me into my new home at the Classic Residence.  They treated me like family and I feel so fortunate to have had their help and professionalism, and now their friendship.                     ~ Millie  F.

What impressed us about Trish and Peter as our agents was their efficient communication with the selling agent, we always got the response promptly; plus their services not only covered before closing but also after we moved into our new home.  They always did their best to protect our best interest.  We are very grateful for their assistance during the foreclosure home buying process.         ~ Xinya and Jane

Trish and Peter are the hardest working Realtors I know!  Every time I call them, they are right there to assist me.  I’ve recommended them to my friends, and they are very impressed with how much effort they put into every transaction.   Their professionalism and dedication to their work is a rare find.     ~ Nick F.

Working with Trish and Peter was a great experience.  I called them about seeing a house, and while we were at it, they showed me another home they thought I might like in the neighborhood, and that’s the home I bought.  They took care of all the details of the purchase process so I could focus on my own business.  They made it smooth and painless, I like that!          ~ Joe T

We purchased a 3BR townhouse in Jan, 2009 via Trish and Peter.  Moved more than 10 times in USA, I consider myself an experienced USA relocator.  Our home hunting selection specifications are what we wanted.  After 3 or 4 showings, Peter knew exactly what we wanted.  Based on our specs, Peter showed us this townhouse shortly after the seller lower their price to within our affordability range.  Offer and acceptance was conducted within 2 weeks.  After acceptance, Peter and Trish helped us on dealing with bank mortgage, title closing, and remodel estimates very professionally.  So I vouch for their professional real estate services.         ~ James and Annie

Trish and Peter were nothing less than dedicated when it came to finding us a home!  They got a good sense of what we were looking for and didn't stop until we had the perfect place for the right price.  They make a wonderful team and I would recommend them highly to anyone.

”You guys were the shining light on what seemed to be an endless journey!  You were consistently on top of all the variables, you responded to all our needs in a very pleasant and professional manner, no matter how neurotic they were.  You’re a pleasure to work with and we’ll be singing your praises!”       ~ Dan and Sandy

"our first home buying experience couldn't have been more educative and valuable. we went through 4 agents before we decided to work with trish and peter. patience, efficiency and being very well organized is what kept us going with trish and peter. thanks to them, we found our first new home."               ~ Kunall and Promilla

Hello Trish and Peter,

I can’t believe how fast the last six weeks have flown by. Packing, cleaning, moving, unpacking….and then moving it all around again until you find just the “right spot” for everything. But tonight, I’m home. I’m happy. I’m content. I haven’t been able to really say that for a long time. Because no matter which apartment I was living in over the last few years, it never really felt like….home.

And I certainly would not be enjoying myself this evening if it had not been for the outstanding service that you and Peter provided to me over the last year. Despite, the bad economy, my changing jobs, my not being able to figure out where I wanted to live or what kind of house I wanted – both of you stuck with me and provided competent and quality advice. All of which turned out to be absolutely correct - every time.

 And your patience on my behalf is amazing. I’m sure that I was not the easiest client that you have ever worked with. I hope Peter will forgive me and join me in laughing about the time I forced him to show me that house I found in south Reno that had the hole in the roof and the outside door in the master bathroom that looked out onto the traffic on Longley Lane! It looked good on the Internet, but Peter was right – that was definitely not the house for me! I’m really glad I took your advice and waited until you found something better for me. 

Trish, I also realize that you didn’t make a lot of money off this transaction. Yet, you still showed me the same attention and concern that you would give to someone buying a multi-million dollar property up at “the lake”. Your attention to the details in the sales contract, your accompanying me to the probate hearing, the negotiations with the mortgage and title companies, all proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that you and Peter are true professionals in real estate matters. And the only thing better than buying your own home, is knowing that it comes with two of the nicest friends anyone could ever have. My sincerest thanks to you and Peter, for helping me acquire my new home.  And thank you for your enduring friendship.                      ~ Johnny W.
