Testimonials

Katie not only helped us obtain our "dream" retirement home but she was also very beneficial in our selling our existing home. Katie is very dependable, knowledgeable, and professional and is always available to answer all of your questions (and believe me, we had plenty). We enjoyed working with Katie and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

You did a job above and beyond the call of duty! I really appreciate all your talent and effort. Thank you so much!

We would like to take the opportunity to thank the entire Tomashowski Team for a wonderful experience buying our mountain home. Tony and I had been looking for over a year. We contacted several other agents in the area and received no phone calls back. We were discouraged and gave up for a while. Then, we found a flyer, and once we contacted Angie and Garry, the process was effortless. They listened to what we wanted and knew exactly where to take us. Any issue that arose, the Team was able to professionally and quickly deal with it to our satisfaction. We now have the cabin we were looking for and consider the Tomashowski’s not only our agents, but our neighbors and friends.

We just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you, so very much, for the expeditious and successful way you both handled the sale of our cabin in Lee Canyon. We listed with you at Mt. Charleston Realty on a Thursday afternoon. Monday you called and told us it had been shown twice over the weekend, resulting in offers from both prospective buyers! We officially signed off on one of those offers that very afternoon. Outstanding! We could not have hoped for, or even custom-ordered, a quicker, or smoother, process. We have bought and sold properties before, but this was by far the most impressive handling by any agent. Not only do you have up-close, personal knowledge of the Mt. Charleston communities, conditions, and uniqueness of the properties there, but you truly are the best at what you do. We would most definitely recommend you to anyone who might ask us for a referral to the best realtors in the area! Our best wishes to you for improved market conditions in southern Nevada, and continued good work and successes!

Last year we decided to search for a house in Nevada or Arizona, originally looking in the Laughlin – Bullhead City area. The real estate agents we encountered didn’t seem interested in zeroing in on our needs, particularly when it came to mortgage financing. When we switched our search to Las Vegas and discovered Katie, we found an agent who asked good questions, knew how to listen, and zeroed in on the wishes and needs of a couple of retired professors. She was also a good teacher about all the hoops and intricate regulations that complicate the purchase of a home here in Nevada. The following quote is from a note I made in my email address book after our first few meetings with Katie: She was quite professional and knowledgeable. If she didn’t know the answer to one of our many questions, she said so and would find out the answer. Her follow-up emails were detailed, precise, appropriately brief but thorough, and provided additional, helpful information that we hadn’t asked for. She is quick, sharp, and an excellent multi-tasker. Katie is the second generation in the family business, Mt. Charleston Realty, Inc. Across the years they have vetted a now well-established network of professionals in related areas (construction, financing, insurance, etc.) – experts who can be relied upon to be equally responsive and professional. We always felt like a valued client rather than simply one customer among many. This was especially true since we couldn’t be in Nevada for the closing. Katie (and her family colleagues) held our hands throughout the closing details, and went above and beyond all expectations. For example, since all the utilities hadn’t been turned on during the official home inspection, she and her Dad came back (after we had returned to our Oregon home), checked those systems and appliances that required utilities, and assessed and commented with detail on the conditions of the appliances, and gave suggestions on how to resolve problematic areas. We can summarize our experience in a single word: TRUST. In every aspect of buying our Las Vegas home, we felt we could trust Katie to represent our interests in a knowledgeable, professional, and responsive way.

We were about to give up and just walk away from our dream home, when one of us got laid off. Then we talked to our neighbors who were doing a short sale with Tomashowski Team. They told them our situation and said for us to call them, so we did. They came to our home and talked to us and were very up-front and honest ~ and gave us hope. Katie and the Tomashowski Team did a "GREAT JOB". Katie kept us informed regularly and was very supportive. We finished the short sale on Friday, August 31st . That took a lot of stress away and we can get our lives back on track. We will miss our home very much, but things will get better. Thank you so much, Katie and Tomashowski Team. You were great. Glad to have worked with you and know you.

Thanks to the entire Tomashowski Team at Mt Charleston Realty, but especially to you, for your outstanding representation on our behalf in searching, purchasing, working the entire short sale process, and at closing on our house in the Aliante area of North Las Vegas. Your honesty, professionalism, hard work, diligent research, and excellent advice, and knowledge of the real estate market and its complicated system, made our part of the process easy, stress-free, and uncomplicated. You always had the answers at your fingertips and always anticipated our questions and concerns, helping us at every turn along the way and followed up on every detail every time. Having you as our Realtor was the smartest decision we ever made. You are, without a doubt, the best Realtor we have ever had in our lifetime of many different home purchases. I would recommend you and your team to anyone and everyone without any hesitation whatsoever. Thank you again for everything.

I have known Katie Tomashowski for several years now, working in the real estate business myself, in addition to employing her as my realtor. All of my immediate family has at one time purchased a Las Vegas home using Mt Charleston Realty and Katie Tomashowski. I am proud to have added my growing family to this list. After many years of being in the business and knowing what to expect as an escrow agent in this ever-changing market, buying can be a traumatic experience. No matter how you swing it purchasing a house is overwhelming but with Katie, I felt secure, informed, and most importantly, taken care of. If I had a question, she got me a prompt answer and her follow-through was impeccable. Her response time was immediate so there were never any lingering items or last-minute paperwork that had to be handled. Bank-owned properties can be a grueling escrow process and is certainly a nail-biting experience for all parties involved. I know that Katie’s persistence with the listing agent and title company is what made my transaction go much smoother. I love working with Katie and her family! I will continue to do so in the future and always recommend her to friends and family. I’m on to the next step of renting out my previous Las Vegas home with Mt. Charleston Realty as my managing company and I know my family is in good hands.

My wife and I have purchased and sold homes of all sizes throughout the United States. Buying or selling a home in a new location is extremely stressful and can be traumatic instead of an enjoyable experience unless you have a great realtor. The Tomashowski Team is just that -- GREAT! Working with Angie was a pleasure from our first introduction to closing. Her knowledge and insight into the area and industry were incredible. Angie's professional demeanor made our purchase experience the best we have ever had. Garry even came to our aid during the inspection stage and shared his expertise, providing closure to some issues that we were concerned about. Without hesitation, the Tomashowski Team went "above and beyond" what you would expect any good realtor to do. We are absolutely satisfied with our purchase and the results. Angie Tomashowski and the Team are TERRIFIC! Don't even think about purchasing a home in the Mt. Charleston area without them!
