Your home is more than an address—it's where you've built memories. Let's honor that while maximizing your next chapter.
Personal & Professional—You Deserve Both

The Questions Every Seller Asks—And How We Answer Them
Selling a home in Carson Valley isn't like selling anywhere else. Mountain properties, well systems, rural zoning, seasonal buyer patterns—it all matters. These are the questions that keep sellers up at night. Here's how we help you answer them.
Should I fix things first, or sell as-is?
It depends on your home, your timeline, and current market conditions. We'll do a pre-listing walkthrough and show you exactly what repairs will pay off (new paint usually does; a new roof might not). We'll connect you with trusted contractors who work fast and fair.
How do I make my home show its best?
You've lived here—buyers are imagining living here. We'll help you see your home through fresh eyes: decluttering, depersonalizing, and highlighting what makes Carson Valley living special (those mountain views, that mature landscaping, the functional barn).
What's my home really worth?
List price isn't a guess—it's a strategy. We'll analyze recent comparable sales, current inventory, seasonal demand, and your home's unique features. Then we'll show you the data and explain our pricing recommendation, so you're confident from day one.
How long will it take to sell?
Market conditions matter, but so does preparation and pricing. A well-priced, well-presented home in Carson Valley typically sells in 30-60 days. Rush it or overprice it, and you could sit for months. We'll set realistic expectations based on current market data.
How will you market my home?
Professional photography (drone shots for properties with views or acreage), targeted digital advertising, strategic MLS positioning, social media campaigns, and leveraging our network of agents who have qualified buyers. Your home won't be a secret.
What if I get multiple offers? Or none?
We'll prepare you for both scenarios. Multiple offers? We'll review each one together and negotiate terms, not just price. Slow market? We'll adjust strategy, not just drop the price and hope.
Carson Valley Selling Expertise—It's Not Generic Real Estate
Every neighborhood has its own buyer pool, its own appeal, and its own selling strategy
A historic home in downtown Minden doesn't sell the same way as a horse property on Johnson Lane. Buyers shopping in Genoa foothills are looking for different things than buyers in Gardnerville subdivisions. Our agents live here, sell here, and know exactly how to position your property for maximum appeal to the right buyers.
Historic Minden Homes
"Live where the heart of Carson Valley beats"
Genoa Foothills Properties
"Your private Sierra Nevada retreat"
Gardnerville Family Homes
"Room to grow in a community that cares"
Johnson Lane Acreage
"The country life you've been looking for"
Golf Course Properties
"Resort-style living in Carson Valley"
