The market I serve

Reno / Tahoe is my market. I know every corner of it.

My specialization spans the full Reno/Tahoe region — from the lakefront lifestyle of Incline Village and the mountain-town character of Truckee and Kings Beach, to the accessibility of Verdi and Reno and the steady growth of Carson City.

Alistair & Jules

Buyers · San Francisco

"I was in the process of starting a deferred maintenance remodel on my home of 36 years. Patti guided me through obtaining the initial drawings, helping me secure multiple contractor bids while saving thousands of dollars in upfront costs. She carefully reviewed every proposal with me, helped develop the right questions for each contractor, and made sure warranty coverage and post-construction details were clearly addressed before signing any contracts. Patti's input was invaluable and easily saved me 5–10 times the fee she charged. After working with her, I would never consider taking on a project of this size without Patti's guidance and counsel."
