How do I choose a real estate agent in Carson City?

Look for someone who works in Carson City every week, explains pricing with recent local sales, answers the phone, and is clear about how they are paid before you sign anything. Ask to speak with past clients. I am glad to answer all of this in a first conversation, with no obligation.

Do you also work in Reno and the Carson Valley?

Yes. I help buyers and sellers across Carson City, Reno, Sparks, Dayton, Minden, Gardnerville and Washoe Valley.

How is a buyer’s agent paid in Nevada?

Buyers now sign a written agreement with their agent before touring homes, and it states how the agent is paid. Sometimes a seller or builder covers part or all of it. I walk you through the options before we start.

Does Nevada have a state income tax?

No. Nevada has no personal state income tax, which is one reason many people move to Carson City and Reno. Property taxes and other costs still apply, so I help you look at the full cost of owning a home.

How far is Carson City from Lake Tahoe and Reno?

Lake Tahoe is about half an hour west over Spooner Summit, and downtown Reno is roughly 30 miles north.

Talk with me

Carson City is Nevada’s capital, and its neighborhoods change quickly from one street to the next: older homes and mature trees on the west side near the Capitol, newer subdivisions to the north and east, and larger lots toward the foothills and Washoe Valley.

Whether you are buying your first home, moving up, downsizing or relocating from out of state, I help you understand what a home is really worth, what the neighborhood is like day to day, and how to make an offer or a listing that holds up.
