Find and Compare the Best Real Estate Agents in Carson City, NV

I have been a licensed real estate agent since 2003 and have learned and experienced the market from the days of easy lending to record short sales and foreclosures. Each transaction is different with its own set of challenges that are solved by marketing, analysis and negotiation until the escrow has closed. My approach is to treat each transaction as unique to the client because every client is unique and to provide the best advice on their purchase or sale. Before my real estate career, my education and experience as an engineer with a major satellite company have trained me to look at details and numbers carefully. That's because there is only one shot at being successful. Real estate is not rocket science - yet, your purchase or sale is just as important as launching a satellite. Everything has to be right. I enjoy helping clients with their real estate goal. Let's get going!

I have been a resident of the beautiful Carson Valley for the past 13 years! I moved here from the San Francisco Bay Area, where I was born and had spent my entire life up until we moved here. It didn't take long to get used to almost never sitting in a traffic jam, and spending summers on the beautiful sandy beaches and in the clear waters of Lake Tahoe! We moved to provide our youngest son a more wholesome childhood and have enjoyed watching him grow up here. Since moving here he spent every winter going snowboarding at Heavenly with our local ski club and summers on the shores of Lake Tahoe. He joined the Army last year! As a Realtor here I truly enjoy showing properties in the beautiful Carson Valley including Minden and Gardnerville, Carson City and the surrounding areas. I've enjoyed helping many people locate the home of their dreams or sell their home and move on to their next phase of life
