RENO, NV - Chase International recently welcomed four more agents to their real estate offices in Nevada and California. Ilene Manville is working out of the Truckee, CA office and Amy Smith settled into the South Lake Tahoe, CA, office. In Nevada, Merrick Williams joined the agency’s Carson Valley office while Sara Pourjalali is in the Reno location.
Ilene Manville takes great pride in making her clients feel right at home. She has lived in Truckee, CA, for over 25 years where Manville made her home, raised her family and ran her second home care business for over 15 years. Throughout that time, she learned about the lifestyle that comes with living in the mountains. Today, she continues to help her clients visualize and own their piece of paradise.
“I have a deep and personal understanding of each community’s attributes,” said Manville. “With this insight, finding the perfect place for my clients to call home is second nature.”
As a long-time local, Manville is knowledgeable about the value of properties in the Tahoe/Truckee region. As such, her ability to prepare and position a home for sale is one of many reasons why clients continually refer Manville to their friends and family.
Manville noted that the foundation of her success lies within her years of leadership training and extensive community involvement.
When her clients’ needs are complete, she enjoys the ocean, scuba diving and long walks on the beach. Ilene is determined in every sense of the word and can be contacted through Chase International’s Truckee, CA, office.
From her down-to-earth personality to her ‘up for any challenge’ perseverance, Amy Smith’s intuitive nature to take care of business with her warm and welcoming approach is just part of the personal service she provides to buyers and sellers alike
Smith comes from a background of service to others working in the healthcare industry for over 20 years. Within that time frame, she applied her knowledge acquired through her Masters in Nursing, Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and National Health Coaching certification to help spearhead a new Wellness Department within the hospital that now benefits her community.
Her fulfillment is when she improves other’s lives which blends seamlessly with her real estate career today. She has acquired a personal interest in the business, watching the region grow through her husband’s finished carpentry business and now fully understands the value of quality craftsmanship.
A mountain girl at heart, Smith continues to champion all that the High Sierra has to offer on the slopes, trails or the Lake.
“It brings me great joy to share my knowledge about the region I am proud to call home,” said Smith.
