Simple and quick

How it works

  1. 1

    Tell me about your place

    Address, a few details, how you use it today, and your timing. It takes about a minute.

  2. 2

    Get your numbers

    I review recent sales around the lake and send you a real value range. If you asked about cash, I'll look at that path too.

  3. 3

    You choose

    List for top dollar, take a fast cash offer, or just keep the info for later. No pressure either way.

Your home, your call

Two ways to sell your Tahoe home

Whether it's your full-time home, a weekend cabin or a rental, I'll lay out both options side by side so you can decide with real numbers.

Option 1

List for top dollar

Put your home in front of the full buyer market, including buyers shopping from the Bay Area, Sacramento and beyond, with pricing, prep advice and marketing built to get you the strongest price.

  • Aim for the highest sale price
  • Advice on which fixes are worth it and which aren't
  • Pricing based on recent sales near you
  • Plan the timing around snow season and your next move

Best for: getting the most money when you have some time.

Option 2

Fast cash offer

Skip the showings, the repairs and the trips up the hill. Sell as-is with a cash offer and pick a closing date that suits you.

  • No showings or open houses
  • Sell as-is, no repairs or cleanup
  • No buyer loan to fall through
  • Flexible close date

Best for: speed, convenience and certainty.

Cash offers depend on the property's location, condition and title. Offers are not guaranteed and depend on a property review.

Mountain homes have a few extra steps

Selling at the lake, done right

A Tahoe sale has a few things a valley sale doesn't. I'll help you get ahead of them so they don't slow you down.

Defensible space

Many Tahoe sales need defensible space paperwork. I'll help you line up the inspection with your local fire district early.

TRPA and BMPs

If your home has a BMP certificate or other TRPA paperwork, we'll gather it up front. Buyers and their agents will ask.

Vacation rental permits

Rental rules are different in the City of South Lake Tahoe and in El Dorado County. If your home has a VHR permit, we'll be clear about what does and doesn't transfer.

Selling from out of town

Second home in Tahoe, primary home somewhere else? E-signatures, lockbox access and local vendors mean you don't have to drive up for every step.

Snow season

Snow removal, access and winter showings take planning. I deal with this at our family cabin every year, so I'll help you plan for it.

Bears and the little stuff

Bear boxes, trash, wood stoves and propane. The small details buyers notice on a walkthrough, sorted before you list.

Lake Tahoe and the mountains beyond a forest of pines

Why buyers want Tahoe

Four seasons of lake living

Your buyer is picturing summer days at Pope and Baldwin beaches, boat days out of the Tahoe Keys, ski season at Heavenly and Sierra-at-Tahoe, and quiet nights in a cabin in the pines. Good marketing shows them exactly how your home fits that life.

  • SummerBeaches, paddleboards and boating
  • FallTrails, aspens and quiet weekends
  • WinterHeavenly, Sierra-at-Tahoe and snow days
  • SpringSpring skiing and long lake days ahead

Meet your agent

Hi, I'm Ryan Hansen

I'm a California Realtor with HomeSmart and a member of the South Tahoe Association of REALTORS and its MLS. My family also owns a cabin in South Lake Tahoe, so I know the snow removal contracts, the bear boxes and the drive up Highway 50 firsthand. When you request your home value, you get a real agent, not an algorithm.

Quick answers

Is the South Lake Tahoe home value really free?

Yes. There's no cost and no obligation to list or sell.

Is this an online estimate or a real look at my home?

I review your details against recent South Lake Tahoe area sales and send a value range. If you want a more exact number, we can set up a walkthrough.

I live out of the area. Can I still sell my Tahoe home?

Yes. A lot of Tahoe homes are second homes. We can handle paperwork with e-signatures and coordinate access, vendors and showings while you're away.

Do you cover Stateline, Nevada?

I'm licensed in California, so I work on the California side, including the Stateline area of South Lake Tahoe. For a home on the Nevada side, I can refer you to a Nevada licensed agent.

Who makes the cash offer?

I take your home to cash buyers and investors so you can compare real offers side by side. Offers are not guaranteed and depend on a property review.

Will you sell my info?

No. Your info is used only to respond to your request.
