Not the agent with the biggest volume, and not the one who quotes the highest number. Hire the one whose sellers actually got close to their first asking price. Here's how to check, and our own numbers.
Sales volume tells you how many listings an agent won. It says nothing about what those sellers got. The easiest way to win a listing is to quote the highest price, then cut it once the home has sat. Across 7,336 Lake Tahoe and Truckee sales since January 2023, 46% closed more than 5% below their first list price, and homes that sat more than 120 days got a median 88.6% of it. Read the full overpricing report.
So ask every agent you interview three questions:
Every home we've listed and sold, with its first price, sale price and days on market, is public in our overpricing report: a median 98.1% of the first list price in a median 44 days. Every closing we've represented is on our sold page. We don't know of another Tahoe brokerage that publishes this.
Murat Gocmen runs MG Vacation Rentals, managing 45 Lake Tahoe short-term rentals. When your home has rental potential, we price it from real booking data and show buyers what it can earn. We check its permit eligibility and never imply a permit transfers with a sale.

Live from MLS closed-sale records, updated September 2026. The full list is on our sold page.
Our office is on Tahoe Blvd in Incline. Selling here means handling Washoe County STR permit rules, IVGID beach and recreation access, HOA restrictions in many of the condo complexes, and Nevada's disclosure forms. Many buyers come from California, so we answer their tax and residency questions before they come up. See our seller services, the Incline Village STR permit guide, when to list, and every brokerage with an Incline Village office with the questions to ask each one.
Most Tahoe homes change hands as second homes, and many earn rental income. We price them the way buyers now underwrite them: gross revenue, occupancy, permit status and operating costs, from the 45 rentals we run. How we sell vacation rentals.
Ask for our first-price results and our days on market. They're already on this page. Then get a valuation you can check.
