I had the honor of serving as the keynote speaker at the WomanUP!® conference hosted by the California Association of Realtors in Pasadena this month. I chose to focus my presentation on the Psychology of Fear—how it shows up in our work as real estate professionals and in our everyday lives.
A bit of history: WomanUP!® began in 2017 to address a powerful gap: women make up the majority of REALTORS®, but a much smaller percentage hold brokerage leadership positions. What started as a one-day gathering has evolved into a national movement championing mentorship, leadership, and equity in real estate.
Public speaking doesn’t come naturally to me, but having my three-year-old daughter, Alaska, in the audience made all the difference. She sat quietly in the back of the room, watching as I spoke about overcoming fear, embracing challenges, and stepping into our full potential.
Grateful for the opportunity, the platform, and the mission of WomanUP!® to elevate and empower women in our industry. It was such a proud and meaningful moment—for me as a mother, a woman, and a Realtor.
Where you stand depends on where you sit—and in Tahoe real estate, that’s never been more true. From charming cabins to mountain top estates, Tahoe’s real estate market is telling three very different stories right now. Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply keeping a pulse on the market, here’s a look at what’s happening across the spectrum:
Entry-Level & Mid-Market
In areas like Truckee, Tahoe Donner, and Kings Beach, homes in the more accessible price range are moving quickly. Buyers are active, inventory is tight, and well-priced homes in great condition are attracting strong interest. If you’re a seller in this tier, this is your moment. But pricing and presentation still matter—today’s buyers are informed and expect value.
Luxury Market
The $2 million to $5 million price bracket—often considered “luxury” in Tahoe—tells a more cautious story. We’re seeing longer days on market, more negotiations, and a noticeable shift toward buyer selectivity. High-end properties in Incline Village, Martis Camp, Lahontan, and the West Shore remain desirable, but the bar is higher. Quality, location, and pricing must align to stand out in this space.
Estate Level Market
Properties priced at $5 million and above, especially those on the lake are experiencing a more balanced market. Many of these buyers are paying cash, driven less by interest rates and more by lifestyle, privacy, and long-term generational value. These homes aren’t just transactions—they’re legacy purchases.
Navigating Your Next Move
While market stats provide valuable insight, they shouldn’t drive your decision. Your unique lifestyle, evolving needs, and family goals deserve to be front and center. Let those priorities lead the way—supported by trusted, hyperlocal real estate expertise.
Thinking about making a move in Tahoe’s summer market? Let’s talk—I’m here to help.

The story of 113 Mammoth Drive is a master class in utilizing the draw and pull method. We’re excited to share one of our most recent listing success stories in Dollar Point with you, which is now in escrow with an over-asking offer before it ever hit the market.
The first buyers who toured the home made a move. Why? Because we leveraged our agent relationships and buyer connections, along with our market insights, listing preparation, timing, and strategy to deliver powerful results.
The Strategy Behind the Sale
The Draw From the moment we prepped and positioned the home, we knew it had features that would speak directly to motivated buyers. The setting, layout, and design created that instant emotional connection — the kind that makes buyers say, “This is the one.”
The Pull We tapped into our private network of buyers and agents, generating early buzz and urgency. The pull of the neighborhood, combined with our strategic outreach, brought serious buyers to the table before a single public listing went live.
The Result No open houses or bidding chaos. Just one well-matched buyer, a strong offer over-asking, and a very happy seller.

Located in the center of town, this industrial building in Incline Village checked off all the marks for the new owners who wanted to find commercial space. Lake Tahoe, generally speaking, commands high prices for real estate because there simply just isn’t any more space for new homes or buildings. Because of this and the complicated intricacies of the TRPA, commercial or warehouse space is even harder to find. With much delight, the buyers knew they found the right property and sealed the deal. Congratulations!
