Ownership, Handled

You're buying 520 Virginia Dr.
Here's what it takes to own it well.

Most buyers close on a Tahoe home with a floor plan in mind and a contractor list they'll never call. At 6,200 feet, the mountain doesn't care about your plans. UV, snow load, freeze-thaw cycles, and fire season have a way of adding up fast — especially when the owner is four hours south.

What We Offer

Photo report after each visit
Emergency response — burst pipe, leak, storm damage
Vendor coordination when something needs fixing

"You get a text the same day something needs attention."

Seasonal Maintenance

Everything in Home Watch
Spring: assess winter damage, treat decks and siding, clear gutters, wash windows
Fall: winterize, drain irrigation, disconnect hoses, set snow stakes

"The list of things that go wrong when nobody's watching is long."

Concierge

$500 / month

Everything in Seasonal Maintenance
Grocery stocking before arrivals
Key handoff coordination

"Show up to a stocked fridge and a clean house. Leave the management to us."

Why Tahoe Is Different

The mountain taxes neglect. These are the three things that catch owners off guard.

1 At 6,200 feet, UV degrades wood 3× faster than sea level. Decks, siding, and trim that look fine in photos can be structurally compromised within five years of deferred maintenance.
2 One burst pipe during a cold snap can cost $30,000–$80,000 in water damage. Proper winterization — draining the system, disconnecting supplies, running the right heat tape — takes about two hours and costs nothing compared to the alternative.
3 Fire prep isn't optional here. TRFPD inspects every property May through August. Violations can result in fines or mandatory contractor work billed to the owner. Defensible space is a maintenance task, not a one-time project.

For Larger Projects

Need a contractor project managed start to finish?

For properties like this one, we also take on full owner's rep work — coordinating contractors for larger remodels, managing multiple vendors through a project, handling permit pulls with Placer and El Dorado counties, and keeping the schedule moving when you can't be here to push it yourself. We've run multi-hundred-thousand dollar projects for out-of-area owners who never had to fly up once. One point of contact, full accountability, no surprises on the bill.

Questions about what this property needs?

We've been working on North Lake Tahoe properties for 30 years. If you're buying 520 Virginia Dr, we can walk you through exactly what the first year of ownership looks like.

Tristan Roberts

DRE #01259729 · 30 years on North Shore

I've been selling real estate on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe and in Truckee since the mid-1990s. Not as a part-time pursuit — this is all I do, and it's the only market I work.

My service area runs from the West Shore through Kings Beach, east along the Nevada border to Incline Village, and up through Truckee, Tahoe Donner, Northstar, Palisades Tahoe, Alpine Meadows, Martis Valley, and Lahontan. I know the submarkets, the HOAs, the elevation-driven quirks of construction, and the seasonality that drives pricing.

I'm a broker, not an agent. That distinction matters when you're negotiating a $1.5M vacation home purchase while you're 400 miles away in the Bay Area.
