Carson Valley has been Bill Merrill’s home for over 40 years, and he wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. As a dedicated family man, Bill has been happily married to his wife, Kathy, for more than 25 years. Together, they have raised three amazing daughters in the area, all of whom have chosen to make this beautiful region their home. Bill is also the proud grandfather of a grandson who brings endless joy to his life.

Having successfully completed nearly $200 million in real estate transactions, he takes great pride in guiding clients through one of the most important decisions of their lives.
During the housing crisis of the 2000s, Bill felt called to help those facing mortgage challenges. His passion for assisting others led him to earn certifications as a Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) and a Certified Default Resolution Specialist (CDRS). While those challenging times have passed, Bill’s dedication to helping buyers and sellers achieve their real estate goals remains unwavering.
Today, Bill leverages his extensive real estate and construction background to make every client’s experience smooth, successful, and stress-free.

Alicia is fantastic. She is patient, kind, hard-working, and knows the Carson Valley market really well. She walked us through simultaneous buying and selling in a short time frame with ease and grace, even when we faced unexpected hiccups and were stressed about making deadlines and all that had to get done. I definitely recommend working with Alicia, whether you are selling or buying in Northern Nevada. – Kimi J.
If you’re looking for an agent that “CAN TO IT ALL” you should highly consider Bill Merrill. From the start he was on it, signing us up for automatic emails of properties with our criteria and being available when we decided to go look at properties. His contractor knowledge/experience was helpful when looking and pointing out the strong points as well as the challenges we may encounter based on our needs. Also, his longevity in the area, was especially helpful in confirming our decision to purchase in the area. He took care of many inspections and even after we closed a very difficult escrow, he met with us on some loose ends. He and Alicia Buonacorsi are a great team. I highly recommend them to anyone looking or considering moving to Douglas County. Thank you Bill and Alicia, we look forward to more real estate transactions and many referrals in the future. – Eleana Z.
They’ve been nothing but patient and kind through our entire process! Alicia makes herself available for her clients all while balancing a family and does it with such ease. She is passionate about her work and passionate about people. Would 10 out of 10 recommend!!! – Saunie C.
I cannot say enough good things about working with Alicia in the home buying process! She is extremely thorough, responded quickly to any questions or concerns, was very patient, understanding and kind. Alicia sought to make our experience as stress-free as possible by handling all aspects one step at a time. She worked well with and reached out seamlessly to the other professionals who are involved in this process: lenders, home inspectors, etc.She went above and beyond what I would have expected and was a joy to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great real estate agent to walk step-by-step with them through this process! She knows her stuff and if she doesn’t have an answer off the bat she will get it! Thank you, Alicia! You’re the best! – Debbie G.
Bill Merrill listed our house. From listing to sale he and his associate Alicia did a great job. From
signs and pictures posted the day of listing, good advice, and continuous updates throughout the
sales process as well as help with completing minor repairs required to satisfy the lender, I could
not have ask for a better experience. They were on top of all details throughout the escrow and
everything closed as expected. I highly recommend Bill to anyone looking to sell their house in the
Carson Valley. – Alan R.
