He's from here. Matthew Schorr was born and raised in Zephyr Cove on Lake Tahoe's East Shore and graduated from George Whittell High School. His family founded McCall Realty in South Lake Tahoe in 1981, and his mother and uncle both sold homes in the basin.
He brings Lake Tahoe's #1 real estate team. Matthew is a Senior Sales Associate on Team Blair Tahoe at Compass. The team calls itself Lake Tahoe's #1 real estate team and the #5 team in California, and its sales top $2 billion. When you hire Matthew, that whole team comes with him.
He works both states. Lake Tahoe straddles California and Nevada, with different taxes, counties and rental rules on each side. Matthew is licensed in both, so a client can sell in South Lake Tahoe and buy in Glenbrook with one agent.
He finds homes before they're public. Some of the lake's biggest trades never hit the MLS. Incline Village's $125,000,000 record sale in March 2026 closed off market. Matthew reaches out to off-market owners directly, per his LinkedIn profile, and he has offered Glenbrook lakefront as a Compass Private Exclusive.
Matthew Schorr's Take on Lake Tahoe Real Estate
Matthew talks about Lake Tahoe the way a local does: neighborhood by neighborhood, sport by sport.
"You want to be in the mountains and I love the outdoors, and being able to match people with specific neighborhoods that will fit their needs best is something that I do really well, because I know the areas really well and I participate in all those sports."

Our Team: About Matt Schorr (Team Blair Tahoe, January 2025)
On team depth. "My favorite part is just the amount of expertise that you find on this team," Matthew says in the same video. "Every deal is different," and on Team Blair Tahoe he can call on experts in escrow, lending and sales when a deal gets tricky.
On why he does it. He says what keeps him in the business is "watching people really create wealth since they purchased their first home and how it's helped set them apart in their life."
On Nevada lakefront. In his listing video for a Glenbrook lakefront, Matthew calls the East Shore parcel "an incredible, ultra quiet, tax friendly Nevada canvas." Nevada has no state personal income tax, per the Nevada Governor's Office of Economic Development, and that pull shows up in who buys on the East and North shores.

Buying at Lake Tahoe?
Matthew checks pier rights, coverage, rental permits and beach access before your offer goes in.
Search Lake Tahoe homesWhat Makes Lake Tahoe Real Estate Different
Lake Tahoe is one lake with two states, five counties and a regional planning agency layered on top. A home's value depends on which side of the state line it sits, which county runs its rental permits and what TRPA allows on its parcel.
What Does a Lake Tahoe Real Estate Specialist Do?
A Lake Tahoe specialist prices the rules along with the house. That means checking land coverage, BMP status, pier and buoy rights, rental permits and HOA or district rules before a price is set. Two homes a mile apart can carry completely different rights.
A specialist knows both states. Nevada has no state personal income tax, and the two Nevada counties on the lake handle short-term rentals differently. Matthew's dual license lets him compare a California home and a Nevada home side by side for the same client.
The TRPA Systems That Shape Lake Tahoe Values
The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency was formed in 1969 by a compact between California and Nevada, ratified by Congress, and it governs land use around the whole lake (TRPA). Matthew works with these systems on Lake Tahoe deals:
- Land coverage. TRPA limits how much of a parcel can be covered by structures and pavement, and coverage can sometimes be transferred between parcels. 304 Second Creek Drive in Incline Village carried TRPA-verified coverage for 1,700 sq ft of extra space.
- BMP certificates. Best Management Practices for stormwater must be disclosed in a Lake Tahoe sale, and buyers should know a home's BMP status before closing.
- Piers and the pier lottery. TRPA allows up to 12 new private piers every two years. In the 2025 to 2026 period it allocated 11 multiple-parcel piers from 22 proposals and 2 single-parcel piers from 56 proposals. Matthew's Glenbrook listing at 1754 US Highway 50 held a shared allocation. See his Lake Tahoe pier lottery guide.
- Moorings and buoys. Buoys and other moorings must be registered with TRPA. His pier and buoy permits guide covers the details.
- Grandfathered shoreline. Many Skyland lakefront piers and buoys in Zephyr Cove are grandfathered, and TRPA wouldn't permit their equivalent today.
Nevada Side vs California Side of Lake Tahoe
| Factor | Nevada Side (East and North Shore) | California Side (South, West and North Shore) |
|---|---|---|
| State income tax | None, per the Nevada Governor's Office of Economic Development | California state income tax applies |
| Counties | Washoe (Incline Village, Crystal Bay), Douglas (Zephyr Cove, Glenbrook, Stateline) | El Dorado (South Lake Tahoe), Placer (Tahoe City, Kings Beach) |
| Short-term rentals | Washoe: permit required, no cap. Douglas: capped at 600 permits, 563 issued as of October 20, 2026 | Set by each city and county; South Lake Tahoe has its own ordinance |
| Matthew's coverage | Licensed in Nevada | Licensed in California |
Matthew tracks the California side's rules too, including South Lake Tahoe's changing vacation rental ordinance and the Douglas County vacation rental rules on the Nevada side.
Lake Tahoe Markets Compared, 2026
| Area | Median Price | Speed | Source and Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Incline Village and Crystal Bay (single-family) | $2,625,000 | 96.5 percent sale-to-list | Incline Village REALTORS MLS, August 2026 |
| Incline Village condos | $967,500 | Up 24.8 percent year over year | Incline Village REALTORS MLS, August 2026 |
| Zephyr Cove | $1,957,987 | 77 days on average | Redfin, three months ending August 2026 |
| Glenbrook | About $7.5 million | 85 days median | Redfin, three months ending August 2026 |
Records at the top. In March 2026, 1145 Lakeshore Boulevard in Incline Village closed off market for $125,000,000, a Lake Tahoe record. The prior record was $62,000,000 for Old Forge at 1041 Lakeshore Boulevard in October 2024, and Crystal Pointe in Crystal Bay sold for $42,000,000 in December 2025. Matthew's market reports track the latest numbers, and his analysis of California's proposed wealth tax and the shift to Nevada explains one reason the Nevada side keeps climbing.
