My wife and I loved working with Doug and Nicole for our real estate needs! They had great communication with us and worked with our budget and wants/needs in a home. They helped us identify which possible repairs(if needed) were worth it when looking at different homes. They were friendly and helped us have a realistic view during the whole process. We have happily found the home we wanted thanks to the Zellers and 100% recommend them.

Ps: We should have postponed buying a home...soley for the fact we love spending time with Doug and Nicole!

We recently sold our home, and we are 100% sure we could have never done it without someone of Doug Zeller's caliber. Had we chosen to use someone without his valuable experience in real estate, we would have never sold, or - if we had - we would have lost a lot of money, sleep, and our marriage would have most likely suffered from the stress. That's because shortly after we accepted an offer, a pipe burst, which in turn revealed the presence of mold, which resulted in mold remediation and a complete remodel of the affected area. This not only affected the close of escrow, but a lot of lives, including ours and those of our buyers. I can't even imagine how we would have made it without the help we got from Doug and his team! Even though we knew this was a tough situation, Doug did all the hard work, while constantly putting our minds at ease, building us up, and encouraging us to help when we could see no hope ahead. He made us feel as if we were their only customer, even though we knew for a fact that was not the case. Doug and his team did not rest until we closed escrow, and not just us, but also our buyers and their agents were all happy. Doug and his team coordinated everything on our behalf, with the various contractors, the escrow company, our buyers' agents, and so on. At some point, this unexpected roadblock - and the tremendous work involved - extended into Doug's vacation, which he and his wife had planned a long time ahead! However, we felt as if they were never gone! Even during their well deserved time off, they continued to push things along for us, which in the end helped us all meet the extended escrow deadline. We can't express in words how grateful we are! Oh, how we wish we'd have more homes to sell or to buy, haha - to employ Doug and his team again and again and again! But, since that's not the case, all we can do is let everyone else know how wonderful Realty World - Sierra Properties are, and encourage you to give them a call for your real estate selling or buying needs. Their professionalism, in depth knowledge of all the real estate process (with its millions of intricacies!) and passion to put their customer first - are things very difficult to find in today's fast paced business world, in which most other service providers just want to make some quick and easy money without caring for the people they work with and for. Add to that a contagious sense of humor, a genuine sense of selflessness, rock solid integrity, love and respect for all parties involved - and you've got a recipe for success! We highly recommend Doug and his amazing team, and will forever be grateful for all they did for us!

Working with Doug and Nicole was one of the best experiences ever! My wife and I recently sold our house and joining their team was a blast! Doug may just be the most positive person I have ever met, and his contagious attitude had a positive impact for us throughout the experience. We will be forever grateful for this team’s diligence, hard work, honesty, and just keeping us sane during the whole process.

After his initial visit with us, Doug recommended that before we list, we postpone until everything was ready, even if this meant waiting a few extra months. Living in the semi-rural area, he suggested that we take care of the many inspections that would be needed ahead of time, and address any issues that those could potentially bring up. We started making our calls and within 6 weeks were able to list our home with clear reports for termite, septic, well, and roof. As a bonus for living in California near trees, we also needed a Defensible Space certification from CAL Fire. Being able to show an interested buyer these documents meant that questions were easily answered and also helped with a faster close. I think Doug’s initial advice added value as seen by the number of visits and offers we had immediately after putting the house on the market.

Having never sold a home before, we did not know what to expect. This made joining team Zeller that much more fun since they have been doing it for so long. Those years of experience made it obvious how much they love what they do and how good they are at. They created a feeling of teamwork from the beginning and I decided to make a group on my phone called ‘Home Team’ – it was always comforting to send and receive updates under this heading – we truly were a team! Doug and Nicole kept us in the loop every step of the way. There was constant encouragement and answers to each and every one of our questions, and the memes and gifs added to the joy!

If you are looking to list your home, I would HIGHLY recommend the Zellers. Hands down, you will get way more out of it than what you put in. These two are always there when you need them – which is very often when you’re trying to sell your place! If we were not moving out of state, I would also have them help us find the next home, and hopefully that tells you something!

My confidence in Doug Zeller is so high that I let him bid on my purchase before I looked at the house. My best purchasing experience, ever. I've bought several homes in the past and Doug Zeller is by far the most customer oriented. I never felt rushed or like I was wasting his time. I made multiple changes to my home purchase interests and criteria but Doug always made adjustments. He is patient, listens, and understands what drives a personal decision to purchase. When it came time for the purchasing contract, he talked to me about all the little details that I never thought about. If you're going to buy a house talk to Doug! Doug Zeller is in real estate because he cares about the people he is helping.

Doug Zeller and his team are the most knowledgeable real estate brokers in the El Dorado county (70+ years experience). His team helped my family navigate through a challenging real estate process. Can’t thank them enough. I’ll definitely be recommending them.

Spencer lawhon (Reach150) My wife and I and her parents decided to simplify and buy a property together. We had very specific needs to accommodate both families. Doug spent countless hours looking for just the right property within our budget. After several months of looking and Doug found us the perfect property to fit all of our needs. I would highly recommend Doug for the sell of, or to find a home for anyone. He was always willing to meet us somewhere to look at a property even if it was not very convenient for him. He went the extra mile.

Jacob Flowers (Reach150) We had a heck of a time finding a place due to the hot market. Everything was bought up within a day. But we found this one house and got a chance to see it before anyone else. Doug pulled some strings and got it done. Top Notch! They know the area very well and give good advice. We would work with him and his wife again I'm sure in the future. BTW they also got my wife's aunt and uncle a place as well. Get what you pay for. Hire Doug!!

Penny Cerveny (Reach150) We just purchased a home in Cameron park. Alone the way we had some problems with the house, trying to work long distance made it a little hard but working with Doug was great. He went out of his way to have A roofer & a contractor come out to let us what we were looking at in repairs. He was always in touch by E-mail & phone. If I left him a message he always called back in a short amount of time. I would call him for the next move in a heartbeat. Doug is one of the best. Could not be more friendly to work with. Best of all he really knows what he's doing. He looks out for his clients best interest.

Dave Roumonada (Reach150) My wife, Theresa, and I have known Doug Zeller for several years. We first met him when we bought our Placerville home through his guidance. Thus, it was a no-brainer to have him work with us in the sale of this home.. We again were reminded that on the Sellers end of a transaction, things can be a bit more challenging. But, once again, Doug's knowledge of the industry and the nooks and crannies of today's regulatory challenges for both sellers AND buyers was instrumental in bringing this transaction to a very happy and successful conclusion.. once again, for both us as sellers, and the very happy buyers.. Overall, a win-win experience!

Hopefully Doug gets to read this. I would like to let him know that we really appreciate his professionalism and character.

Raymond Levert I feel it would be appropriate to express myself regarding the service received by Bud & Doug Zeller as Real Estate Brokers. Their experience and professional service was awesome, they were very active and diligent and were able to sell my 3 parcels of vacant land in Diamond Springs Estates within 3 weeks after I had listed them. I just couldn't believe it. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone for their prompt and honest service. It was for me a real pleasure to work with them. I am a retired Real Estate Broker myself now 83 years old, I know what they did was hard work and professionally done. Thank you Bud & Doug!

Mick West (Reach150) Doug's hard work was instrumental in our getting the house of our dreams. He took a lot of time to understand what we were looking for, and then helped us find a house that matched. Endlessly helpful, patient, and professional, Doug made a stressful process run smoothly. His attention to detail was very reassuring both during the process of negotiating an offer, and then dealing with all the various minor (and major) issues that come along with closing the deal. I highly recommend Doug.
