I have lived in Big Bear for most of my life, going through all of my schooling years here in this beautiful valley. I have been married 43 years and have raised three children, and have a grandson that lives in the area, and 6 other grandchildren in Southern California. I am familiar and knowledgeable with the entire Bear Valley area. I started in insurance, and moved into real estate which I now hold both licenses for.
I have been involved with many community activities throughout my residency here including Dawnbuster Rotary, Soroptimist's of Big Bear and I am currently serving on the Big Bear Board of Realtors. I've worked with Habitat for Humanity. I have hosted several foreign exchange students from time to time, worked with the children of Big Bear in many ways and support our local schools with on and off school activities.
Staying current and up to date with continuing education is a must, and being certified through the Career Compass, my classes are always current.
Hiring someone that is familiar and confident in the knowledge of the area is what you should be looking for. My goal is to make sure you never feel you hired the wrong Realtor. Ask for references, I will be happy to supply you with them from past clients.
I would love if I can help you sell or buy in this beautiful valley. Living in a 4 season resort area is something that I would love for everyone to experience.

Testimonials
"The service and personal attention I received from Alaine Uthus was exceptional. Her knowledge of the local market and her key contacts in the community helped us in our search for the perfect home. After patiently going through listings with us, she only showed us houses that fit our needs without wasting our time. She is very honest and patient. She wouldn\'t sell a home that didn\'t fit your needs.I would highly recommend Alaine Uthus at First Team Real Estate to help you in this life changing move. We could not have asked for a better Realtor to guide us through the process. "

"Aliane helped me find my mountain home. She was so patient with me, going to see dozens of homes before I found the one best suited to my needs. And then she held my hand through the transaction of buying the home, dealing with some pretty unsophisticated sellers, who made concluding the sale more difficult than it needed to be. All, while I was living off the mountain. I couldn’t have done it without her! - "
-Carol J. Rose , Client
"My son was searching for his first home in Big Bear, and as a Realtor in the Highland Lakes region of Texas near Austin, I know the necessity of hiring a local agent to get you what you want. I looked through qualifications of different agents, and I chose Alaine for her experience, reviews and personality. Alaine was a delight to work with. I stayed out of his search, and Alaine taught him what he needed to know about first time home buying. She also has helped him get set up as he did his actual purchase from Texas, taking care of details for him. I urge anyone who is interested in searching the Big Bear area, choose Alaine. If you want someone in your corner who knows the ins and outs of real estate, choose Alaine. If you want someone who will work to get you the best deal possible, choose Alaine. And if you also would like an awesome person to get to know as a new neighbor in your new town, choose Alaine"

"I have known Alaine Uthus for more than 20 years. In July 2008, after our last child had graduated from Big Bear High School my husband and I moved to the high desert to permanently escape the snow! We listed our house with Alaine and less than one week later we had an offer and our house was in escrow. It closed in 30 days! Wow! Were we happy and still are! Alaine is a wonderful person and Realtor. She maintains a high level of integrity in both her personal and business life. She will always give you 100% of herself and will only recommend what is best for you and your family. We would neither use nor recommend anyone else but Alaine Uthus as a Realtor. "
