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.
