Greetings - As the first snow of the season falls, the Tahoe Truckee community is abuzz with anticipation of the winter to come. There have been many accounts of skiers hiking in the Carson Range near Mt. Rose where 1 to 3 feet of snow fell and the die hards were out to kick off the ski season. Mt. Rose has announced an opening day of October 31st. for some [...]
Greetings - I had the pleasure of visiting Clear Creek Tahoe yesterday and wanted to share some insight on a beautiful development that is starting to find it’s footing in the market place. Located on 1,576 acres and surrounded by the largest natural forest in the lower 48, Clear Creek is located on the Eastern Slope of the Carson Range of the Sierra Nevada Mountains between Lake Tahoe and Carson [...]

Greetings – In 2013 Tahoe Mountain Realty spoke of a new day at Gray’s Crossing and the tide has been rising ever since. That March the community received an important boost when LDK Capital, respected developers from Sacramento, purchased 81 of the 377 homesites from the French bank Societe Generale. LDK Capital, in cooperation with the HOA, invested money in marketing and new improvements to the community as well as [...]
Greetings - The first dusting of snow has graced the top of the Mountain Peaks around Lake Tahoe and the crisp evenings and mild days has everyone talking about the upcoming winter.

Greetings - Memorial weekend is the kickoff to summer activities in Tahoe and we typically see a flood of new properties come on the MLS as well. In past years the holiday weekend isn’t as busy as expected, but this year feels different. Coming off of a great ski season, sellers are very motivated to showcase their properties and buyers are engaged and looking for a piece of Tahoe to [...]
Greetings - I found myself in San Diego on a fun adventure at Legoland and the beach with the family last week. I had to share a couple photos as we had a great vacation. Reflecting back, it gives me a better appreciation of how much fun it is for clients to own a second home in an area such as Truckee/Tahoe as they have an established place to come [...]
Greetings - I still have big ambitions of climbing and skiing some high peaks in and around the Sierra as well as the annual Pilgrimage up to Mt. Shasta. I had a small window yesterday and took advantage of it with a fun climb and ski of the North Couloir of Mt Emerson in the Buttermilk range just outside of Bishop, CA. We hiked on dirt for a few hours [...]
Greetings- For generations of consumers, waterfront property has been the gold standard of prestigious Lake Tahoe real estate.
