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 42 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
"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. "

"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"

"Our home buying experience with Alaine Uthus was amazing! She worked with our family for over a year trying to find us the best match for our new home. We looked at over 100 houses and never once felt rushed or got the feeling that she was tired of working with us. She answered every question we had and she was very concerned for our well being and looked out for us in every way. We ended up having a long escrow due to a horrible experience with our loan officer, however, Alaine was right there the entire time and even called the loan company to speed things up numerous times for us. We strongly believe that we would have never finished our escrow if it wasn't for the hard work and effort that Alaine put into our home buying process. We would HIGHLY recommend her for any realestate needs! There is NO ONE better for the job!!"

"My wife and I purchased a home from Alaine in 2015. Because we live out of state, it could have been a financially perilous and stressful procedure. However, she guided us along every step of the way and made it seamless. Moreover, Alaine kept us from pursuing properties we later would have regretted owning. She is the most ethical, honest and client-directed real estate agent I have ever worked with, and we have bought and sold several homes over the years. You could not have a better real estate agent than Alaine Uthus. If in the future we decide to buy another house in Big Bear, we will definitely turn again to Alaine for assistance."
