“Five stars to Gene and Laurel! I’ve worked with them on six transactions over the years and each time it has been a pleasure. Their knowledge of the market and how to navigate buying and selling properties is exceptional. Thank you for turning what can be extremely stressful events into such smooth and easy transactions.” – Chris – Buyer and Seller – Placer County
“Thank you so much to Gene and Laurel. I interviewed a few realtors before I met Laurel. I was immediately impressed with her. They were particularly helpful as I was selling the house for my mom’s estate and I was over three hours away. They helped with every single detail of getting the house ready to sell, keeping me informed every step of the way. Both Gene and Laurel worked so smoothly as a team. They also have the best stager, Becky Buol, who worked wonders with some very small touches along the way. I can’t say enough about how wonderful it was to work with all three of these women through the process. We got the price we wanted for the home right out the gate! If you want honesty, integrity and a team that is responsive to your needs when it is important to you, Gene and Laurel are your team!” -Karen, a very satisfied customer – Seller – Meadow Vista
“I needed to sell homes in the Colfax and Applegate areas, and live out of state. I contacted Gene and Laurel and right from the start they were great, I kept finding myself telling them “You make it all too easy!” They were always prompt to respond to any questions I had, and were spot on with their home pricing and advice in navigating the selling process. Their combined experience and professional connections helped everything go smoothly. I wholeheartedly recommend this power duo!” -Tamara – Seller – Colfax/Applegate
“Gene Cain is the best! We’ve purchased 3 homes with Gene over the years and I wouldn’t think of calling anyone else. I’ve always felt well advised with expert guidance throughout each unique buying process. I can’t recommend Gene or her daughter, Laurel more – they are an incredible duo.” -Jennifer – Buyer and Seller – Placer County
“Laurel Bollinger and Gene Cain at Foothill Living Real Estate offer a friendly approach with competitive knowledge, local experience, honesty, and integrity. After reaching out to an old childhood friend in the Auburn area for a referral, Laurel and Gene came highly recommended. Meeting with several other local Realtors, Laurel and Gene were selected based on their significant understanding of the Auburn market, relaxed demeanor, and professional skill sets. I had unique challenges as Trustee of another lifelong friend’s daughter’s Trust, identifying and buying property remotely, and lack of resource contacts in the area. Laurel and Gene quickly discerned our needs utilizing current technology and personal experience. Laurel’s youthful energy and similar age worked well with my friend’s daughter’s personality and specific wants and needs. They efficiently searched real estate databases then finally identified the right property with traditional showings. Gene’s sage wisdom and years of transactional experience correlated well with my responsibilities as Trustee to negotiate and close the deal. In addition, Laurel and Gene’s due diligence allowed for a competitive price and escrow close sooner than contract date. I’m personally rewarded with a very thankful friend and his daughter, who could not be more excited about moving into her new home later this week. Needless to say, we’re satisfied Foothill Living Real Estate clients and highly recommend Laurel and Gene.” -Cary – Buyer – Auburn
“Gene is one of the best Realtors in the area. She is an excellent communicator and creative problem solver. I have worked with Gene several times over the years and know firsthand that she always puts her clients first. She is excellent at pricing properties and is a well-known market expert. If you are buying or selling you’re in great hands with Gene Cain.” -Ben Richardson, Realtor
“Gene is Super! Over the years we have recommended Gene to friends & family members & she has always produced excellent results. After interviewing other agents we chose Gene to sell our home. She was prepared to discuss comps, prices, and timelines, and outlined completely our plan to sell the house. She is completely professional in her evaluations and effective in communicating all aspects of the selling process. Gene was always available for questions and provided accurate and rapid answers and solutions. Her willingness to help is a wonderful personality trait that makes her our #1 agent.” -Gary & Elaine – Sellers – Meadow Vista
“Our experience in Real Estate includes buying homes in Napa, Lake Tahoe and now in Auburn. We first met Gene Cain when she represented the buyers of our home in Auburn. We watched our current realtor and Gene Cain very closely as they each maneuvered through the showing/offering/buying process – we had purchased the home we were selling through our realtor, we had some history and yet we felt so much more comfortable with Gene, her knowledge, her commitment to her buyers and the way she treated us. Her buyers had a problem with financing and had to back out of the transaction, but we contacted Gene and changed Realtors immediately, we were that impressed.” -Anonymous Sellers – Auburn
