Buying or selling in Zephyr Cove means dealing with things most markets never touch: TRPA land coverage limits, pier and buoy permits, lakefront HOA rules, and buyers splitting time between Nevada and California. The agents below all work this stretch of the East Shore. Use the cards to compare their backgrounds and read their public reviews before you call.

How We Compiled This Directory

This is a directory, not a ranking. Agents are featured because they actively work this part of the lake:

📍

Active on the East Shore

Each agent has a visible record of listings or sales in Zephyr Cove and the surrounding Douglas County lakeshore, or works from an office nearby.

⭐

Public client reviews

Where an agent has public reviews on Zillow, Google or Yelp, the rating and count are shown with a link to read them at the source.

🏔️

Lake Tahoe experience

We looked for agents who know East Shore specifics such as TRPA land coverage, pier and buoy rules, and HOA lake access.

The order of the cards is not a ranking and doesn't reflect sales volume or review totals. Every agent here is worth a conversation, and the right fit depends on your property, price point and whether you are buying or selling.

Hiring a Realtor in Zephyr Cove, Nevada: FAQs

Which real estate agents should I consider in Zephyr Cove, NV?

Agents worth contacting in Zephyr Cove include Matthew Schorr of Compass, who grew up in Zephyr Cove and works with Team Blair Tahoe, Craig Zager of Coldwell Banker Select, Mike Dunn of Chase International and Jean Merkelbach of Engel & Völkers. The right fit depends on your price point and property type, so compare a few of the agents on this page.

Is this list a ranking of the best agents in Zephyr Cove?

No. This page is a directory of agents who actively work Zephyr Cove and the surrounding East Shore. The order is not based on sales volume or review counts, and every agent listed is worth a conversation.

Who can help me buy a lakefront home in Zephyr Cove?

Lakefront buyers in Zephyr Cove often talk to agents with experience in gated lake-access communities like Skyland and Elk Point. Matthew Schorr of Compass is dual licensed in California and Nevada and works with pier, buoy and TRPA coverage questions on the East Shore. Fawne Hayes of Chase International and Craig Zager of Coldwell Banker Select also work lakefront and luxury sales in the area.

Do I need an agent licensed in both Nevada and California?

Not always, but it helps. Zephyr Cove is in Nevada, while much of the lake's buyer pool lives in California, and many buyers compare homes on both sides of the state line. Many agents on this page hold both licenses, which lets them represent you on either side.

What is TRPA coverage and why does it matter?

The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency limits how much of a lot can be covered by buildings, driveways and other hard surfaces. Coverage affects what you can build or expand, so ask any agent how much verified coverage a property has before you make an offer.

How much does it cost to hire a Realtor in Zephyr Cove?

Commission is negotiable and set by agreement between you and your agent. Buyers now sign a written agreement with their agent that spells out compensation before touring homes, so discuss terms up front.

What's the difference between a buyer's agent and a listing agent?

A listing agent represents the seller, pricing and marketing the home and negotiating the sale. A buyer's agent represents the purchaser, helping them find a property and negotiate terms.

How do I check an agent's reviews?

Each card links to that agent's public review profile where one exists, so you can read client reviews at the source. Look at how many reviews there are and how recent they are, not just the rating.

Are Zephyr Cove homes mostly second homes?

Many are. Zephyr Cove has a large share of vacation and second homes alongside full-time residences in areas like Round Hill Village. If you plan to rent a home short term, ask your agent about Douglas County vacation rental permits before buying.

Which Zephyr Cove areas are most in demand?

Buyers often focus on lakefront and lake-access communities like Skyland, Elk Point and Marla Bay, the village area near Zephyr Cove Resort, and view homes in Round Hill Village.
