About Tchukon

I grew up in Saratoga Springs, NY, moving to San Francisco 25 years ago to help run my father’s successful business. In 2012, my father bought a mountain top ranch just outside Mariposa, and I began my love affair with this gorgeous part of California. Beautiful mountains, fresh air and friendly people, the Mariposa area is a special place. Today, Mariposa is my full-time home, along with my wife, Carolyn, and our daughter, Charlotte and son Phoenix. Over the past decade, in partnership with my father, we acquired five properties that we rent through AirBnB. It was my job to find suitable houses/ranches, negotiate the purchase, then market and manage the rentals. Meeting our guests over the years has been a labor of love as I share my enthusiasm for the natural beauty and power of this area. From time to time, people would ask “can you help us find a place to live around here?” I’m happy to say that I can. I became a realtor, not only because of my love for Mariposa, but also because of the huge impact purchasing property has made for the financial stability of our family. Real estate investments are the single best decision that you can make to create lasting generational wealth. I would like to help you create prosperity through sound real estate purchases and to enjoy the well-being that arises from having a beloved home. In addition to my focus on real estate, I am a “foodie,” trained as a French Chef. I love photography, horseback riding, white water rafting, hiking, off-roading, working with the animals on my dad’s farm (horses & cows), and most importantly -- spending time with my family. I would be delighted to help you find your own home or ranch.

Top / Best Realtor in Mariposa & Oakhurst - For a Reason

5-Star Review for Tchukon Schanks. I've had the privilege of working with Tchukon on multiple real estate transactions, both buying and selling properties, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. What sets Tchukon apart is his exceptional breadth of knowledge. He's not just a realtor who shows properties - he's a comprehensive real estate expert. His understanding of real estate investing, property management, short-term rental regulations, and county interactions has been invaluable to me as I've built my property portfolio. Tchukon has an incredible work ethic and dedication to his clients. While other realtors might limit showings or rush through the process, he has always been willing to show me as many properties as needed until I found exactly what I was looking for. There's never any pressure or impatience - just a genuine commitment to helping me make the right decision. What truly distinguishes Tchukon is his willingness to go above and beyond traditional realtor responsibilities. He has helped me with numerous aspects of property ownership that fall well outside standard realtor services. His assistance extends far beyond the closing table, making him more of a long-term real estate partner than simply a transaction facilitator. If you're looking for a realtor who combines extensive knowledge with exceptional client service, I couldn't recommend Tchukon more strongly. He has been instrumental in my real estate success, and I'm grateful to have him in my corner for all my property needs.

Purchasing my first home in California

As a lifelong resident of Georgia, I was a bit apprehensive about moving to California as I was not familiar with the local regulations. I was so fortunate to connect with Tchukon Shanks. Tchukon helped me find a home that suited my life style. He then went above and beyond my expectations! Tchukon worked with the sellers on the home inspections. He then found local tradesmen for me to work with when I moved. Tchukon spent considerable time walking around my new home on Facetime so I could get a feel for the home since I purchased this home sight unseen. I moved into my new home in July 2021. I LOVE it. I can recommend Tchukon Shanks as an amazing and thoughtful realtor. If I ever decide to purchase another home, I will certainly reach out to Tchukon.

Knowledgeable and Amazing Realtor

Tchukon is an amazing realtor with a great understanding of his market. He has lived in and been active the market for decades and is truly in touch with what's going on. Not only that, Tchukon is maybe one of the nicest people you will ever meet and goes out of his way to make sure you are well informed and get the right deal for you. I myself have been active in the real estate industry for over a decade and have not met many true gems like Tchukon. I highly recommend him to all prospective buyers/sellers/renters.

Our first vacation home!

Tchukon was a trusted resource when it came time to guiding us with our purchase. His professional ethic and knowledge of the peculiarities of the region eased our buying experience and we would highly recommend him as a realtor and friend.

Personal, practical, and pretty darn good!

We loved working with Tchukon. We found him through another remote realtor friend who interviewed several realtors in the area and recommended him as the most capable she spoke with. We’re so glad she recommended him. He helped us to find the home of our dreams, walked us through the process, and patiently answered our questions. When we ran into the inevitable speed bumps, he gave us practical solutions we could choose from and guided us through the implications of our choices. Tchukon has stayed in touch with us and has been a wonderful resource for local recommendations as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again, and will likely do so in the future!
