Buyer of 38393 Crestview Lane, Oakhurst
When we set out to buy a short-term rental in Oakhurst, we were a pair of out-of-area investors with spreadsheets, a long list of questions, and no way to be on the ground every week. From the first conversation, Lenny was full of tips and tricks about mountain homes and gave us honest reads on our picks instead of easy agreement. He knew the foothills market well, and he steered us toward what could actually work as a rental rather than what looked good in photos. He engaged with us heavily, is unusually fast with responses and helped us get clarity, fast. He also has an excellent network of agents in neighboring areas, contractors, lenders, you name it - essentially everything you would need a recommendation for as a first time buyer. As the purchase grew to involve escrow, he stayed a steady, responsive point of contact who kept things moving. Buying from a distance takes real trust in the person on the ground, and Lenny earned ours. If you’re looking in the Oakhurst area, especially as an investor or from out of town, we could not recommend him enough.
Buyer of 50566 Critter Creek Lane, Oakhurst
Lenny was great to work with throughout the entire home-buying process. Since I couldn't be there in person, he went to the property himself and recorded a detailed video tour so I could get a good feel for the house. He also helped me adjust and submit my offer quickly, which was a huge help. From there, Lenny stayed involved every step of the way. He coordinated inspections, arranged repairs, and handled communication between me, my loan broker, and the seller's agent. Whenever an issue came up, he was on top of it and made sure things kept moving forward. Buying a home from a distance could have been stressful, but Lenny made the process smooth and manageable. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a hardworking, responsive, and trustworthy real estate agent.
Buyer of 51739 Quail Run Dr, Oakhurst
We worked with Lenny to buy our FIRST short-term rental property in Oakhurst, and we really appreciated his patience. From our very first conversation, he was responsive, communicative, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right place and learn along the way. What really set Lenny apart was how well he understood the short-term rental side of things. Buying an investment property is a different game than buying a home, and Lenny got that completely. He knew what would actually perform as a rental and what to watch out for — and he backed his advice up with real numbers, including some genuinely impressive AI tools and licensed market data that gave us a level of confidence we weren't expecting. He made a complicated process feel manageable, kept us in the loop at every step, and never left us guessing. By the time we closed on Quail Run, we felt like we'd made a smart, well-informed decision — and that's entirely thanks to Lenny. If you're buying, especially an STR, you're in great hands.

Buyer of 40600 Indian Springs Road, Oakhurst
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.
