Lakeshore Realty is proud to announce the latest and greatest agents who joined our office:

Pam Fernandez 

“I’m here to assist you before, during and after every transaction.”

I know how difficult long distance ownership can be.

 I want to insure your experience is a good one. 

       I have been a North Lake Tahoe resident since 1974 and began my professional real estate career in 1986. I first served as an assistant for a busy RE Broker for two years before obtaining my salesman’s license in 1988 and my Brokers license in 1997. I have consistently achieved top producing agent status since I began listing and selling homes in 1988. Over the past 22 years, I have mastered the art of matching buyers with their perfect primary or vacation home. My home finding skills require not only extensive market knowledge but also focuses on a process of discovery, learning both the needs and desires of my clients. ABOVE ALL, finding the perfect home requires a keen listening ability and quite often a lot of patience! I love the marketing and advertising aspect of selling homes. I design my own ads from property brochure handouts, to magazine and newspaper ads. I strategically place my advertising where it reaches the best audience. While I concentrate on the Incline Village & Crystal Bay areas, as a Nevada licensee I occasionally stretch my limits to the Reno, Carson City, Minden, & Gardnerville areas. However, I know my knowledge limitations and if I feel unqualified to represent you fully, I will find you the best agent in your desired area. As a mother and pet owner, I am very child and pet friendly and sensitive to the needs of parents and pet owners. After several years in the business, I have several good working relationships with variety of vendors and suppliers you may need as a new property owner. I can also provide you with 1031 Tax Deferred Exchange information and refer you to an Accommodator who can answer more detailed questions and assist you with your exchange.

Being a broker in this market…

A large unspoken part of our job is to resolve issues outside of just selling a  house. These are the challenges I truly enjoy, sometimes it is frustrating as –ell, but in the end rewards are great.  We do our best to help buyer’s and seller’s move through a serious decision and guide them through the challenges  our area brings with grace and enthusiasm. 

As brokers we are hired for our expertise, experience and knowledge of the Incline Village, Lake Tahoe  market place. We are contracted to advise, educate, protect and negotiate in our client’s best interest. But, I must admit if you’ve been in this business for long you do wear many hats ranging from psychologist, historian and educator on the unique lifestyle Incline Village offers.

What will 2010 bring to Incline Village, Lake Tahoe??? More of the same with prices going down slowly and inventory increasing as Spring approaches. There are excellent values in all property ranges from lake frontage homes to freestanding town homes..To review all properties on the market or to be on a update list of property please feel free to email us.

Wishing you all a healthy and loving New Year!

 It is difficult for seller’s to understand the market especially if they purchased over the last 5 years. We are fortunate to not be dependent on short sales or foreclosures as so many areas especially Reno.

Chris and I attended a Leading Real Estate Companies of the world their Northern California. There were 20 offfices represented and the  majority were all low on inverntory and short sales made up 60% on average of their business.

Chris and I attending the grand opening of the Ritz Carlton Hotel at North star resort…Lake Tahoe and surrounding areas including Incline Village will all benefit from this exquisite resort.

The ambiance is warm and elegant, the structure was designed with the concept of one tree with many branches making up the hotel, spa, time share environment…don’t look for antler chandeliers they stayed away from the overdone  log cabin feel.

The inside reflects the beauty of mother nature which surrounds the hotel and is viewed from floor to ceiling windows throughout.

Incline Village residence will enjoy this close and convient get away for a ski day, weekend away, dinner out or a spa experience that promises to relax the mind and body.

The ball room which accommodates up to 200 plus for large gatherings, weddings, conferences, parties. It can easily broken into more intimate rooms and not loose its ambiance.

The SPA was inviting and offered a full array of amenities from hair, pedicures, nails, sauna, couple massage rooms and steam showers.  The atmosphere invites you to relax, indulge and recieve a day of overdue pampering.

Two pools are located outside one next to the spa for adult enjoyment and the second off the main floor with dining availalbe. 

The Living room is a large area with comfortable seating wrapped around a wall of rock with four fireplaces each with private seating and two bars to serve your every desire from champagne to hot chocolate

As full time Incline Village residents , we are excited to have another well recognized name , The  Ritz Carlton which delivers unmateched service and  warmth  quests which will draw quests back over and over.  We will refer clients, friends and family to join us as we embrace this new jewel in the mountains. 

Manzanita restaurant -At the 94-seat Manzanita restaurant along with 71-seat bar and lounge area, it is all about the kitchen and acclaimed chef Traci Des Jardins. The menu at Manzanita will be a combination of Des Jardins’ signature French inspired California cuisine, with a regional mountain resort influence, sourcing organic, sustainable and locally grown meat and produce when possible. From the moment you enter the restaurant, the design radiates warmth, texture and natural materials with an open kitchen, visible from all vantage points in the restaurant.
