Murat Gocmen - Local Lake Tahoe Realtor (CA & NV Licensed)

A Local Real Estate Professional Who Understands Tahoe Beyond the Listings

My name is Murat Gocmen, and I help homeowners, buyers, and investors make confident, well-informed decisions in the Lake Tahoe region. I am a licensed Realtor in California and Nevada, and I work full-time across Incline Village, Tahoe City, Truckee, Kings Beach, South Lake Tahoe, Crystal Bay, and the surrounding communities.

Like many people, I came to Tahoe for its beauty — but I stayed because I developed a deep understanding of how this market really works. Over the years, I’ve learned that Tahoe real estate is never just about bedrooms, square footage, or views. It’s about microclimates, seasonal access, neighborhood rhythms, elevation differences, rental potential, and how lifestyle and investment expectations intersect.

My role is to help you see the full picture, not just the listing sheet.

What Sets My Approach Apart

A Background That Combines Engineering Logic with Real Estate Experience

Before becoming a Realtor, I worked as a software engineer. That technical background shaped how I approach real estate today — with structure, research, and data-driven decision making. It allows me to analyze pricing behavior, neighborhood trends, and investment potential with clarity that many buyers and sellers find refreshing.

Alongside that, I built MG Vacation Rentals, one of the most successful short-term rental companies in the Tahoe region. Managing vacation homes at scale taught me more than any textbook could:
• Which homes produce reliable revenue
• How seasonality truly impacts demand
• What maintenance costs look like over time
• What makes a property easy or difficult to own
• How regulations differ between jurisdictions
• Which locations offer the best long-term ROI

These experiences allow me to guide clients with insight that goes far deeper than what you’ll find on large real estate portals.

My Real Estate Philosophy

Real estate should feel transparent, strategic, and personal. I focus on three things:

1. Clarity Before Commitment

I’ll explain not just what a property is, but what it means for your lifestyle, long-term value, and financial goals.

2. Honest Context and Real Expectations

Tahoe is a fast-moving, complex market. I don’t sugarcoat or oversell. If a home isn’t right for you, I’ll say so.

3. Strategy Backed by Local Experience

Whether you’re selling or buying, our decisions are grounded in local patterns, not assumptions.

My clients rely on me not just for answers, but for the reassurance that every step is aligned with their goals.
