Rancho Vistoso Client Reviews

From our first phone call in early 2026 to the two full days in May that we spent with her exploring the Tucson area and touring homes, Kim Lemcke was very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. For a couple of months, we received MLS listings based on our needs and wants in a home. She created a schedule based on our selections and appointments were made as needed. Her plan was detailed and on point. As two out-of-towners from Northern Virginia looking for our potential retirement home, Kim instantly put us at ease and drove us here, there, and everywhere! We shared a couple of meals together and got to know one another fairly well in a short period of time. We left Tucson feeling like we had made our first friend in Arizona! We will keep in touch! We recommend Kim Lemcke and Long Realty to anyone and everyone looking for a new or resale home in Tucson.

We dealt mostly with JoAnne White, a Nara Brown team member. We were very impressed with her diligence, friendly manner and ability to navigate a complex joint closing for our previous residence and our new townhouse. She made referrals for movers and a handyman who efficiently dealt with BINSR issues on both properties. We would highly recommend JoAnne to anyone requiring a qualified realtor!

My goodness . . . where is the TEN STARS option?? I cannot say enough good things about Joanne and the Nara Brown team. From day one Joanne went out of her way to help with every little detail. We needed to sell our mom's house while we live in another state and there were so many moving pieces from all the repairs that needed to be done, furniture that needed to be removed/re-housed, coordination of all of the inspectors, etc. She was ALWAYS kind, always patient, and even helped me tremendously thru the emotions that go with moving an elderly mom and selling her beloved home. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Which isn't near good enough, but . . . I pray that someone will come along and bless Joanne as much as she has blessed us!

Joanne was fabulous. I felt she had our best interest in mind every step of the way while at the same time being candid about the market we're in right now. I highly recommend!

I could not be happier with the Nara Brown Team! They recently helped me sell my home in NW Tucson, and were amazing throughout the process. I was so impressed with all of the ways in which Nara listed my property - Print, Websites, Local TV, and a Utube channel. Additionally, I felt support and heard at every step along the way. Should I ever need a realtor in Tucson - I would not hesitate to use the Nara Brown team again.

Nara Brown is that rare agent – compassionate, brilliant, and resourceful— who sold our home by navigating us through a very difficult market. With her deft handling, we finally found an interested buyer, but then she and her team had to deal with an ornery buyer’s agent who knew little of real estate rules but tried to cleverly wrangle money out of us. Nara knew how to handle illegitimate requests from him and led us to a successful closing. We recommend Nara enthusiastically!

I can not express how well taken care of I felt through the process of selling my home. Not only was the transaction seemless but the team made it effortless on my part. Every move, every need was anticipated and taken care of. Communication was amazing. My questions, coincerns, needs answered immediately. I can not recommend them highly enough. Just know you are in extremely safe and competent hands!!

Nara is a consummate professional and knows the market extremely well… Her negotiation skills and communication are off the charts! Highly recommend!!

I can't say enough positive things about Nara Brown Long Realty and her team. Nara assisted us with negotiating and purchasing a home before it was listed for sale. Nara was aware of our requirements for buying a home, prioritizing the area and the year built. When we became aware that a home was probably going to go on the market in the area we were focusing on, Nara contacted the out-of-state owners and was able to negotiate the sale before the house went on the market. This ensured that we were able to purchase the home and not lose the sale to a potentially higher bidder. Nara and her team far exceeded our expectations. She is extremely knowledgeable regarding the Tucson Real Estate Market and will always tell you if she thinks a property is priced right and will provide supporting evidence. She is extremely patient, and an excellent negotiator who can handle difficult and complex situations, and difficult people. She always made sure we were kept informed by giving us updates throughout the entire transaction. Nara Brown and her team, especially Joanne White, were always available to answer any questions and handle any situation that arose. She ensured a smooth closing and was present for the entire inspection. She has an excellent working relationship with individual companies and was able to recommend companies to get inspection issues resolved. Nara also handled the sale of our Catalina Foothills Home which required extra consideration and skill. Our home was smaller than other homes in the area, however, due to the location and all the custom upgrades, she was able to sell our home at a considerably higher per sq ft price than other homes in the area with similar sq ft. Because of Nara Brown and her team's professionalism, attention to detail, and going the extra mile for us, we would highly recommend them for any of your real estate needs.

Kim Lemcke and the Nara Brown Team, including Joanne White, were all amazing to work with during the purchase of our home in The Preserve at Saddlebrooke. Kim went out of her way to keep us updated throughout the entire process. She scheduled all the house inspections on our behalf, as well as took care of a couple of issues that arose right before and after the closing of our home. Both Kim and Joanne were so helpful with all our questions - we highly recommend them and the Nara Brown Team!

The Nara Brown team handled the sale of my existing home and the purchase of my new home. They are the consummate real estate professionals in buying and selling real estate. My home sold the day it went live on the MLS for full price. I couldn’t be happier and couldn’t have done it without their help and advice.

The Nara Brown team at Long Realty is amazing. I helped a friend who was under a tight deadline to prepare his house and put it on the market. Nara’s team came to the rescue. They handled all of the transaction promptly and professionally, but also many tasks necessary to prepare and sell the house - selling items in the house, finding workmen to fix the roof and take care of handyman work, helping fill out the disclosure statement, and so on. At every step, communication was excellent. Because of the professionalism of the team, the sale went through smoothly, in a timely manner. I would recommend this team to anyone seeking a top notch realtor.

Nara and her team were with us throughout the entire process. She made the home shopping and buying experience pleasurable. Nara tactfully advises you about the pros and cons of each home site that she shows. Nara is a consummate professional. Her insight on the Tucson real estate market was particularly important and helpful. She will guide you through the process while handling the details with grace. What a wonderful experience. Thank you Nara and Joanne. We could not have done this without your support and partnership.

My husband and I were from out-of-state and looking to purchase a home in Saddlebrooke. Not knowing anyone, we relied on an internet search to find a realtor. The Nara Brown Team’s website sold us because of the wealth of helpful information and videos they posted which were especially helpful to people like ourselves who were not local. We thank our lucky stars we contacted Nara, who connected us with Valerie, a buyer’s agent. Nara’s entire team offers exceptional and complete customer service. They are professional, knowledgeable, prompt, efficient, friendly, and always available with help, even anticipating our needs in advance. Valerie is simply an excellent buyer’s agent, period. Nara is fortunate to have her on the team. From thoughtfully selecting around six homes for us to tour that met our criteria, to offering her experienced feedback, to making sure we moved through the purchase process smoothly, Valerie was on top of every detail, and quickly, too. We were on a tight schedule, and Valerie even managed to set up inspections with at least six different qualified and vetted professionals so that they all arrived on the same morning, which was a huge help to us. The house we purchased was fully furnished, but we could not use some of the larger pieces. Valerie found folks in the area who could use what we could not, and even arranged for the furniture to be picked up while we were there. This kind gesture of Valerie’s is one example of her going way above and beyond a mere job description. Truly, the whole team is exceptional. Our friends back home could not believe how fast and seamless our home buying experience was with Valerie, Joanne, Transaction Manager, and the rest of the Nara Brown Team. Team is the correct word. This group pools experience and expertise to offer the best help to their clients. We highly recommend this team.

Our realtor, Valerie Maden, was AWESOME! We enjoyed working with her. She kept the entire homebuying experience relatively stress-free and actually enjoyable.

I would sincerely like to thank you for your support, guidance, and consultation in the sale of our home in SaddleBrooke . From our initial contact you provided timely feedback, clear documentation of our home's value, and outlined work that needed to be completed for a smooth sales transaction. As a result we were able to list the property, complete the inspection and needed follow-up, and the sale in less than 2 1/2 months. In addition, being out of town homeowners, we also appreciated the assistance that you and your staff provided through the entire listing and sale. The recommendations, contact information, and follow up to assure that all necessary work on the property was completed appropriately and thus was very reassuring. Finally, we appreciated the assistance and recommendations from you and your staff that allowed us to pack, move, and store our furniture so that we will be able to return to Tucson and purchase a home when we both retire in the near future. We are very happy to recommend you and your staff to others who may be considering selling their home, especially if they are out of town homeowners. You made an often very difficult transition as easy as it could possibly be. Thank you to all your staff, especially Debra, for all your efforts on our behalf.

Everyone we dealt with in this office was very professional and helpful. We found Cindie Wolfe very prompt and helpful, acting as a buyer's agent. We met the listing agent, Dave Reece, and he was very helpful with his knowledge of this house. Long Realty is a quality group of real estate professionals.
