Meet Don and Theresa Souers
Becoming the Leader in Tahoe Real Estate was Not an Accident
FACING CHALLENGES WITH TEAMWORK
This was the test. All winter long, Theresa and Don Souers planned their course, practiced their whitewater river skills and prepared for the canoe trip of their dreams. Training in an intensive clinic with a master guide, they focused on technique, teamwork and coordination. Finally, the time for their adventure had come.
Don & Theresa Souers, and their daughter Jaime Souers, who is now a licensed real estate agent with the Souers team.
For endless, glorious days, Theresa and Don paddled deeper and deeper into steep canyons topped by sentinel peaks, ancient monuments whittled by millennial winds and water and the occasional fury of a flash flood. So far, the river had been gentle.
But not today. Brooding clouds on the horizon steadily grew darker and closer, blackening with turbulence as fresh winds blew across their faces. Soon, violent shafts of lightening burst from the thunderheads, ricocheting across the canyon walls in eerie booming echoes.
The river’s current rose against their canoe, tossing the six hundred pound load of camping gear, photographic equipment, and people like a leaf. Above the roar of the rapids and storm, Theresa and Don shouted directions at one another, mustering all their teamwork skills to dodge unexpected obstacles, navigate the turbulent current and avoid any misstep that might capsize crew and canoe.
The storm lasted less than half an hour, but in that time Theresa and Don’s teamwork skills were put to the ultimate test, pulling through unharmed and with renewed exhilaration and confidence.
WE KNOW WHEN IT’S RIGHT … IN REAL ESTATE AND IN LIFE
High school sweethearts, Don and Theresa have been a team throughout their adult lives. Having never previously visited South Lake Tahoe, they found themselves new residents due to a job transfer. Instantly Tahoe’s pristine waters, superior lifestyle and abundant recreation captivated them. They knew they were in the right place.
However, a few years later a promotion threatened to take them away and they knew their life’s adventure was about to take a turn. Abandoning job security for quality of life, they chose to turn their teamwork skills toward real estate.
“At the time, we had two children who weren’t far from going off to college,” Don says, “But we knew that despite the job promotion, no other place could offer our family Lake Tahoe’s quality of life.”
“We were sold on Lake Tahoe from the moment we saw it,” Theresa agrees. “Our decision came down to a family choice of lifestyle. Everyone, including the kids, made the decision to make the necessary sacrifices and keep Lake Tahoe as our permanent home.”
CLIENT SATISFACTION IS THE KEY TO OUR SUCCESS AS REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS
“After a lot of thought, we decided to pursue our career in real estate for a handful of reasons.” Don says now, “Theresa and I enjoy meeting people, we work well as a team and with our love of Lake Tahoe we were confident in our ability to successfully match clients with their perfect mountain dream homes. We decided then and there to base our entire career on client satisfaction.
Over the years, it’s Theresa and Don’s ability to understand their clients’ needs that continue to place them among the area’s most respected real estate professionals. From the first meeting with a new prospective client, Don and Theresa take the time to get to know you, including your concerns and desires. Then, they use their strong negotiation skills and marketing knowledge to get the results their clients expect, while making each experience pleasant and rewarding.
“Some of our happiest days,” says Theresa, “are when our client and a house click. Whether it’s a vacation home or a place to make a fresh start, it’s a great feeling knowing our hard work and perseverance helps our clients fulfill their dreams. Our all-time best days, though, are when our clients become our friends and neighbors.”
