We can help make that happen.
In the nearly 20 years I’ve worked with Alisa, I have never failed to be in awe of her integrity, knowledge, work ethic, and professionalism. SHE ALWAYS HAS THE ANSWER. ALWAYS.
Alisa knows this area like the back of her hand, and has a trusted network of professionals who can help get a home from “I’m thinking of selling…” to “Sold!” And it sure helps that she knows Nevada and Placer County like the back of her hand.
There’s never any pressure from Alisa – just measured and reliable guidance. Choose her as your realtor. It’ll be the best decision you’ve ever made.

This year we made the biggest change of our lives. We didn’t see it coming, but life has a way of throwing curveballs. Quite frankly, I’m not sure we could... READ MORE have done it without Alisa Johnson and her team.
Just two and a half years ago my husband and I bought and began the remodel on what we thought would be our perfect forever house. We put our hearts, souls, and our wallet into our dream. Just about the time we finished the last touches, two crazy years later, we were hit with the hard realization that we belonged across the country. I cried the day we signed the listing papers (and probably several times after). Alisa and I had gone to high school together and, between moves and life turns, lost touch over the years. However, I knew Alisa had the integrity and character I wanted in someone selling my home. In fact, having worked in real estate myself for over 20 years, there was no one else I trusted as much to ensure the sale was handled professionally and correctly. A good agent is more than just someone who takes pictures and pushes paper around. They are your support system and ally. I also knew she had the strength and fortitude to help me see the light at the end. What I didn’t know, was that she would exceed every expectation.
Alisa has a wealth of knowledge, experience, and skill. She listed our house with some of the best marketing material I’ve ever seen, stacked showings from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm for three solid days, and brought in 14 amazing offers. She then negotiated terms that helped us with timing and moving hurdles and facilitated an incredibly smooth escrow. She sold our house for $65,000 over asking and did it all quickly, while carrying me through my zillion questions and heartache.
Today I’m sitting 2500 miles away in my new home, with more certainty than ever that this was the right path for us, thrilled beyond belief with something I wasn’t sure I could do. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank Alisa and her team for being the best ally in real estate.

Alisa is a phenomenal realtor! I was a picky buyer who knew exactly what I wanted, was intimidated by the purchase process and almost gave up looking... READ MORE in my preferred city/neighborhood . From the minute I let Alisa know I was checking out a promising property, she took the ball 110%. We went from open house to offer in 26 hours. So yes, Alisa made the process easy - but a huge part of that was knowing I could trust her advice and oversight of the process since I had minimal time to read through the 10,000 contracts involved in a home purchase. I strongly recommend anyone in Nevada or Placer Counties consider Alisa. My purchase was in Sacramento County and her network of peers was super helpful in teaming up where needed. My only regret is not engaging with Alisa years earlier!

READ MORE gave us an accurate appraisal of value for our house, gave suggestions from the outset of how to improve our staging, provided high quality photography by a professional photographer for our listing, suggested inspectors and workmen for any jobs needing to be done on our house, and answered any questions we had in a very timely manner. When we found the house we wanted to buy, she was on top of all the details for submitting our offer and handling all the appointments, document signings, and inspections. She was encouraging through out. If she couldn't be there, her partner Dennis was there. The staff at the office was always helpful. All in all, we could not have been happier with our experience. We highly recommend Alisa and her staff.
