Things clients ask before we start.

Think of me as your project manager on steroids. I don't swing hammers or draw blueprints. I sit on your side of the table and manage the people who do: I define the vision for your remodel, hire the right contractors, track every dollar, coordinate the timeline, and report back so you never have to wonder what's happening with your build.

Yes. I'm not a licensed contractor, and that's the point. I work for you, not the build. I source, vet, and hire the right licensed contractor for your project, then manage the relationship so you get quality work on time and on budget.

Yes, I do both. I've managed multiple renovations in Tahoe remotely from the Bay Area, and remodeled my own home in Fremont from the ground up. Whether your project is local or three hours away, I handle the on-site visits, contractor meetings, and progress check-ins.

Contractors build. Property managers operate. I work exclusively for you, not the build, not the vendor, not the listing. My fees are flat and agreed upfront. I don't take commissions, markups, or percentages of your project cost. My only incentive is your outcome.

I'm a member of more than twenty designer trade programs, from RH and Pottery Barn to Crate & Barrel, Arhaus, Four Hands, The Shade Store, and their brand families. When you add the Furnishing service, you get trade pricing passed directly to you, no markup. On a typical project that can save thousands. See the full list on the Furnishing & trade discounts page.

Every service is available on its own. Most clients come to me for remodel management, the core of what I do. Acquisition advisory and rental readiness are there if you need them.

It depends on scope. A cosmetic refresh might take four to six weeks; a full renovation can be three to six months. I'll give you a realistic timeline during our first call.

You're welcome to stay at one of our vacation rentals in the Tahoe area, a great way to see how our remodeled properties turned out firsthand. Stays aren't free, but every client gets a discounted rate. We mostly work in North Lake Tahoe, Truckee, and Incline Village.

It varies by jurisdiction. Placer County, El Dorado County, Washoe County, and South Lake Tahoe all have different rules, caps, and processes. I help you understand what's possible for your specific property so you don't get surprised after closing.
