$29M+ in Q3: The Stories Behind the Sales

Behind that number are very different properties, clients and paths to closing, and that’s the part of Q3 I find most meaningful.

This quarter included on-market and off-market sales, lakefront, repeat clients, new relationships, referrals and opportunities that came together through years of connection and trust.

Different Transactions. One Consistent Approach.

Some transactions come together quickly. Others require patience, thoughtful positioning and a lot of work behind the scenes. Some begin with a new introduction. Others are the next chapter in a relationship that began years ago.

Some properties benefit from broad exposure on the open market. Others call for discretion and a more targeted approach. Every situation is different.

My role is to understand what the moment calls for, and build the strategy around the client, the property and the market.

The Value of Relationships

One of the most rewarding parts of this business is seeing how relationships continue to shape it.

A past client becomes a repeat client. A satisfied client introduces a friend. A conversation that started years ago eventually becomes a transaction. More than half of my sales this year have come from past clients and their referrals. In a market as relationship-driven as Tahoe, that trust matters.

Looking Ahead

Q3 brought $29M+ in sales, but more importantly, it brought another collection of clients who trusted me to help them navigate an important move in their lives. Different properties, strategies, and circumstances.

One thing remained constant: showing up, staying close to the details and doing the work required to move each transaction forward.

I’m grateful for every client, referral and relationship that contributed to this quarter, and excited for what’s ahead.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling in Lake Tahoe, I’d love to be a resource and talk through what’s next.

Maybe this is the Season | New Price at 836 Holly Road in Tahoe City

A Home for the Seasons Ahead in Tahoe Woods

3 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms | 1,920 Sq Ft

Listed Price $1,650,000

Fall in Tahoe makes you think about the season ahead. The mornings get quieter, the trees begin to change, and the air gets colder. And before long, winter arrives.

For buyers looking for a Tahoe home, this is the time of year when the idea of having your own place here starts to feel especially tangible.

At 836 Holly Road in Tahoe City, that idea comes with a peaceful setting among the pines and a home that is ready to enjoy.

It is now offered at $1,650,000.

Where Tahoe Starts to Slow You Down

Tucked against acres of open forest land, 836 Holly has a sense of privacy that is immediately felt. There is no need to create the Tahoe experience here. It is already outside the door.

The large back deck looks toward uninterrupted forest, creating a natural setting for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or dinner outside when the weather allows.

Inside, the home feels equally connected to its surroundings. Vaulted ceilings and skylights bring natural light into the spacious great room, while the surrounding trees provide a quiet backdrop throughout the day.

Made for Cozy Mornings

The best Tahoe homes often have a certain feeling. They make you want to stay in your slippers a little longer.

The chef’s kitchen features custom cherry wood cabinetry and quartz countertops, creating a warm and inviting space for everyday meals or gatherings with friends.

The primary suite offers its own retreat, with a fireplace and en suite bath featuring a jetted soaking tub.

Come winter, it is easy to imagine a morning here. Snow outside. Fire going. Coffee in hand. Nowhere else to be.

A Home That Works Beyond One Season

One of the things I encourage buyers to consider when looking at Tahoe properties is how they will use the home throughout the year.

Will it be a weekend escape?

A place for holidays with family?

A summer base for time on the lake?

Or perhaps somewhere you eventually want to spend more of your time?

836 Holly works across those seasons.

Thoughtfully Updated

836 Holly Road was extensively remodeled in 2009, with updates that allow its next owners to settle in and enjoy the home. That distinction matters.

There is something appealing about arriving in Tahoe and knowing the major work has already been done. You can spend your time here actually living. Exploring the trails. Head to the lake. Skiing in winter. Or simply staying home and enjoying the quiet.

Why Tahoe City

For buyers considering North Lake Tahoe, Tahoe City offers a balance that is hard to replicate.

You have access to the lake, outdoor recreation, restaurants, shops, and the surrounding mountain communities. Yet properties tucked into areas like Tahoe Woods can still offer the feeling of retreat many buyers are looking for. That balance is often what brings people to Tahoe in the first place. And it is why I encourage buyers to consider not just the home, but how the location fits into the way they want to live here.

Maybe this is the season to make Tahoe home. If you’d like a private tour or more information on this property, contact Amie Quirarte with SERHANT. Lake Tahoe.

In addition, the home’s Tahoe Woods location provides a peaceful residential setting while keeping Tahoe City’s recreation and amenities within reach.

Just Sold Over Asking: A Historic 1928 Craftsman Finds Its Next Chapter

Celebrating Nearly a Century of Tahoe Heritage

Hand-built by Washoe Native American artisans using stones gathered from the shores of Agate Bay, the fireplace serves as both the heart of the home and a lasting tribute to Tahoe’s rich cultural heritage.

Preserving the Spirit of Old Tahoe

Historic homes are increasingly rare. Those that have been thoughtfully updated while preserving their original character are even more extraordinary.

2675 Hillcrest Avenue beautifully balanced modern comfort with authentic mountain charm. The updated kitchen, hardwood and tile flooring, and carefully maintained architectural details allowed the home to honor its past while embracing today’s lifestyle.

Its walkable location near Lake Tahoe, Skylandia Park, and the Lake Forest public boat ramp only added to its enduring appeal.
