“When it comes to luxury, nobody does it better than Chase International,” said Shari Chase, president and CEO of Chase International.  Over the years, Chase has sold more properties in the high end market than any other brokerage firm in the Tahoe region.

Fairchild, who has been with Chase International for ten years, attributes her success to the growing number of clients (both buyers and sellers) from the Bay Area.

“We’ve definitely seen a significant increase in interest in properties on the East Shore of Lake Tahoe,” said Fairchild.  “There’s been a “discovery” of the East Shore which, along with Incline Village, is becoming one of the most desirable areas for home purchases around the Lake.”

The upscale and exclusive East Shore runs from just south of Incline Village to Zephyr Cove, situated entirely in the state of Nevada. The many tax advantages bring homebuyers to the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe, but the last several years has seen a boost in clients searching for sanctuary and respite.

“Bay Area buyers are expanding their search parameters,” Fairchild said.  “This stretch of the lake is unassuming and peaceful.  It has a natural rugged beauty that Mark Twain wrote about in his stories of Lake Tahoe.  Tahoe’s East Shore neighborhoods allow people to escape to a place that still feels like the true ‘Old Tahoe’ experience.  It is a place you can come year after year and see little changed, which is a nice thing to experience in today’s ever-changing world.”
