Bret is everything you want in a Real Estate Agent. He knows the area (as he grew up there) and the market, listens to what you want then helps you find it, counsels you along the way, and is there before and after the sale. We would definitely recommend him and will use him again if the opportunity arises.
Robert C. & Jane D. Bennett
We were thoroughly pleased with the knowledgeable competence, professional integrity and patience that Bret demonstrated during the several months of property search that preceded our eventual purchase. Bret was consistently pleasant and personable in his interactions and communications with us. We would not hesitate to recommend him to any party desiring to acquire property in the Tahoe/Truckee Area.

As a Realtor who specializes in luxury homes in the Bay Area, my expectations of a Realtor are probably higher than the average buyer. I was and still am, extremely impressed with Bret’s knowledge of real estate, his excellent referral base of service providers in the Truckee area, and his goal of making sure his client comes first!
North Lake Tahoe Neighborhood Profile
North Lake Tahoe’s various neighborhoods stretch from Tahoe City, heading east along North Lake Blvd. (Hwy 28) through Kings Beach and the Nevada State line. The spots along the map would be Tahoe City, Dollar Point, Cedar Flat, Carnelian Bay, Agate Bay, Tahoe Vista and Kings Beach.
From timeless old Tahoe style cabins, to jaw dropping lakefront estates, North Lake Tahoe real estate has something for everyone. Several subdivisions like Dollar Point and Agate Bay have lake access, and pools and tennis courts as part of their home owner amenities. North Lake Blvd. is lined with lakefront homes, many of which have private piers. Lakefront pricing generally starts in the $1,500,000 range, and can exceed $12,000,000. Most pricing for North Lake Tahoe homes begins in the $400,000 range. A view of the lake always comes at a premium.
There are a wide range of condo opportunities as well, mostly concentrated near Tahoe City and King’s Beach. Many of the condos were built in the 1970′s, and most also feature some pool and or tennis amenity. Condos run the full gamut of pricing, from under $100,000 for a converted motel unit, to well over $1,000,000.
For all of the skiing and winter sports that make Truckee and North Lake Tahoe so famous, summer at the Lake is truly a World class experience. I’ve lived in this area for nearly all of my life, and I never tire of seeing and partaking in the true gem of the Sierra’s.

Juniper Hills-Juniper Creek Ranches Neighborhood Profile
There are two “acreage” areas just east of Truckee that offer unparalleled seclusion, views, and some of the most magnificent Truckee homes and ranches available.
Closest to central Truckee is Juniper Hills. A gated community of mostly 20 acre forested estate parcels. Some of these private mountain retreats have tremendous panoramic views to the north and west. Prices here generally range from around $1,000,000 to upwards of $7,000,000, with homes ranging to 15,500 square feet. (Really)
Juniper Creek Ranches is also a gated community of acreage estates. The entrance is just a few miles farther from Town (actually closer by freeway), and has a meandering three mile drive through a gorgeous forest to the beginning of the parcels. Properties here can range to more than 80 acres, but are mostly 20′s with a few 10 acre pieces intermixed. This subdivision meanders through the mountainous terrain, and ends in some cases near the Nevada State line. Like Juniper Hills, there are some massive custom estates here, but Juniper Creek is more typified by modest homes near 2500 square feet on 20 secluded acres.
When your mountain dream has you thinking about private forested acreage, the Truckee Real Estate and ranches available in the two Juniper subdivisions is must see!
