Reach out to me and get preapproved by clicking the link here: https://www.mortgageupside.com/ Thinking about buying or selling a home in Truckee, Lake Tahoe, or Reno? Or are you an agent wondering what it actually takes to build a profitable real estate business here? In this episode of the Reno-Tahoe Real Estate Insider, I sit down with Christy Morrison, founder of Home & Slate Real Estate, who has sold over 1,000 homes in the Tahoe Truckee area over more than 26 years. Christy moved to Truckee at 13 to ski race for the Squaw Valley team, got her license in 1999, and started her career selling a 96-unit condo conversion in a downtown Reno high-rise. She has worked through every market cycle since, from the mid-2000s boom to the crash and short sales to the COVID surge that turned Tahoe from a second-home market into a primary-home market almost overnight. We talk about why she launched Home & Slate as an agent-focused brokerage, how she helps buyers and sellers get the best results in a second-home market, the $180,000 she invested in real estate coaching over 15 years, and what she's seeing in the Truckee, Tahoe, and Reno market right now, including $2M to $3M homes in Tahoe Donner selling in under 30 days and renewed activity in luxury communities like Lahontan and Schaffer's Mill. ____ Shay Phillips is a Mortgage Advisor serving California and Nevada.
