Things To Do When You’re Not Selling Real Estate

Put this on my list of things I would love to do, and never will. Makes all of us “hard core” (I use that term very loosely) Tahoe skiers look like a bunch of pansies, doesn’t it.

Northstar Ski Resort, Lake Tahoe Courting the High End Market in a Ski in/Ski out Paradise

Being a real estate writer has depressingly few perks. I don’t get free tickets to concerts or desert on the house at Michael Mina. The product I write about, you see, can’t really fit in a gift bag. Mostly, I get accused of being a Realtor (I’m not) or of being “in bed” with the [...]

First Ever San Francisco – Lake Tahoe Real Estate Caravan And Ski Extravaganza

Opulent is an understatement. For $25MM less, I still wonder if I’d be able to wear my ski boots in the main room. -525 Highway 50, Zephyr [...]

When Men were Men and Mice were Movies Stars…

[Editor's Note: Because I know soooo many San Francisco residents love to visit Lake Tahoe regularly for any number of great things the Lake Tahoe area has to offer, and because I know you all love yourself a little real estate, I have found a talented writer/Realtor up there to share some insight. This is [...]
