A perfect Tahoe weekend ☀️

Music on the beach.
Getting out on the water.
A cocktail with a lake view.

Most importantly, remembering what this weekend is really about

Markets shift. Priorities don’t.

The news cycle changes quickly. Interest rates, headlines, policy changes… the noise can feel constant.

But the deeper reasons behind real estate decisions stay remarkably steady: family, stability, privacy, and a sense of place.

In markets like Incline Village, Lake Tahoe, and Northern Nevada, buyers look beyond the transaction toward legacy and lifestyle. My role is to help you cut through the noise and make decisions based on your real goals- not just the headline of the week.

$171 Million.

That’s not a typo. It’s the headline everyone is talking about in Incline Village.

But for local homeowners, the more important question is, what does that activity say about demand?

Large purchases do not automatically reset the value of every home, but they do prove that high-end demand for Lake Tahoe and Northern Nevada is stronger than ever.

For homeowners thinking of selling, this is where strategy matters. Tahoe is not a one-size-fits-all market. Pricing, positioning, marketing, and storytelling can make a meaningful difference in your outcome.

Walked into the office to find this incredible surprise from a client, and it made my whole week☺️

Buying or selling a home is rarely just a transaction. It usually comes with big decisions, emotions, timing, and a lot of moving pieces.

Feeling very thankful for kind clients, thoughtful gestures, and the relationships that make this work so meaningful.

A huge thank you- this sugar rush is exactly what I need to power through the weekend showings!

Pickleball may have won this round… but I still get to show off one of my favorite Incline Village amenities.

For those who haven’t been, Burnt Cedar Beach is a crown jewel of Incline Village. We’re talking lakefront and beautiful grassy area seating, heated pool with slide, volleyball, BBQ’s, snack bar (yes Poolside Paloma) and views that make you forget about your sports injuries.

Living here means having this incredible private amenity right in your backyard. It’s not just about the homes, it’s the lifestyle, the access, and the everyday places that make Incline Village feel different.

Can’t wait to see you on the courts soon!

What Tahoe or Northern Nevada spot should I feature next?

Washington just signed a new 9.9% “Millionaire Tax”, and it has high net worth individuals concerned about their bottom line.

if you’ve been following the news out of Olympia, you know things are changing. Starting in 2028, high income earners in Washington will see a near 10% tax on taxable income over $1M.

It’s a tough pill to swallow when you’ve worked hard to build your portfolio. But here in Nevada, the conversation is different. 0% state income tax, 0% tax on corporate shares, a favorable overall tax climate, plus access to places like Lake Tahoe and the mountains of Northern Nevada.

I’m seeing more clients from the PNW look at Incline Village, Tahoe, Reno and Northern Nevada, not just for the tax breaks, but for the peace of mind. It’s about keeping more of what you earn while waking up to views of Lake Tahoe every morning.

Of course, any move should be reviewed by a CPA, attorney or financial advisor. But if you’re curious about what a Nevada transition could look like for you, send me a note, I’m happy to be a local resource.
