Glenbrook has about 300 houses. It produces single digit sales in a typical year. Many of those sales never touch the MLS. In a market that small and that private, the best Realtor in Glenbrook is not the agent with the biggest national brand, it's the agent who is inside it, holding inventory, working the entitlements and taking the calls that never become listings.
That's Matthew Schorr. He currently co-lists a $10,900,000 Glenbrook lakefront property. He carries over $120 million in career sales, closed $22.6 million across 17 transactions in the past twelve months, holds a perfect 5.0 star client rating, works TRPA coverage and shorezone permitting directly, and is licensed in both Nevada and California. He grew up eleven miles down the shore in Zephyr Cove.
He also brings the lake's strongest team with him. Matthew is a senior agent on Team Blair Tahoe, Lake Tahoe's #1 real estate team, with more than $2 billion in closed sales across 5,750 properties, 175 years of combined experience, more than 250 client reviews and team closings as high as $19,650,000.
Add all of that up and there's no generalist in the basin who out specializes him in the Glenbrook market.
Why Glenbrook Is Unlike Any Other Lake Tahoe Real Estate Market
Glenbrook is the last gated community on the Nevada shore before Incline Village, and it operates less like a neighborhood and more like a small private estate that happens to have 297 owners.
The scale is the whole story. Roughly 750 acres, of which only about 150 are developed. Around 61 lakefront properties. A staffed gate house. A 9 hole golf course that is the oldest in Nevada, a clubhouse restaurant, tennis, a private beach and private trails. A concierge staffed community pier with boat valet service and a buoy field, which is a level of amenity almost no other Tahoe community carries.
Three things change how a Glenbrook deal runs.
First, the Glenbrook Homeowners Association layers its own architectural and design review, forest and wildfire fuels management, security and watercraft registration on top of TRPA. A buyer planning to remodel is answering to two review bodies, in sequence, not one. Get the order wrong and a project loses a building season.
Second, short term rentals are prohibited by HOA covenant. That's the single biggest underwriting difference between Glenbrook and Zephyr Cove or Skyland. Anyone modeling a Glenbrook purchase on rental income is modeling something that isn't allowed here.
Third, most Glenbrook trades never reach the open market. Owners here tend to sell quietly, to buyers who were already known to somebody. A buyer relying on portal alerts is watching a feed that shows a fraction of what changes hands.
The pricing reflects all of it. Over a recent trailing three month window, Glenbrook posted a median sale price of $8,200,000 at roughly $1,060 per square foot, the highest price per foot of any East Shore community, with a median of 85 days on market and exactly one home sold. Recent closings include 1964 Glenbrook House Road at $7,525,000 in August 2026 and 1963 Glenbrook House Road at $5,500,000 in July 2026.
At the top, the numbers get unusual even by Tahoe standards. Shakespeare Ranch at 777 Rodeo Drive is listed at $125,000,000, more than 126 acres with 35,000 square feet across seventeen or more structures and a 465 foot private pier carrying two boat lifts and ten buoys. Whispering Pines, the Wayne Prim estate with its own 3 hole golf course, came to market at $65,000,000. Adjacent but separate sits Uppaway Estates, a 44 acre gated lakefront enclave on the former Major Max C. Fleishman property.
When one sale can be the entire quarter, a comparable sales report is a starting point, not an answer. His Glenbrook community guide covers the community itself, and the East Shore market reports track what's moving.
How Matthew's Listing Caliber Reflects His Expertise and Reputation as a Top Agent in Glenbrook
The most direct evidence that Matthew works this market is what he's trusted with in it right now.
1754 US Highway 50, Glenbrook, listed at $10,900,000. Lakefront on 0.78 acres, with a private sandy beach path and a buoy. It carries a lottery won shared 300 foot pier with a planned 12,000 pound boat lift, and it sells with TRPA approved Kelly and Stone plans for a 5,871 square foot residence already in hand. The property last traded at $2,400,000 in October 2020.
Read that pier line again, because it's the part most people skim. TRPA runs a pier lottery every two years in odd numbered years, allocating up to twelve permits per cycle. The 2025 round awarded two single parcel permits out of 56 proposals. A Glenbrook lakefront parcel that already holds an approved pier is not a marketing claim, it's a permit, and pricing it correctly requires knowing exactly what that permit is worth against a shoreline where nobody else can get one.
He's also co-listing 475 Tuscarora Road in Crystal Bay at $9,900,000, four bedrooms and six baths across 5,436 square feet on 3.28 acres. Two Nevada lakefront listings asking a combined $20.8 million. His current Glenbrook listing and the rest of the portfolio are on his site.
Who Is Matthew Schorr, Top Glenbrook NV Real Estate Agent?
Matthew took a finance degree from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo into real estate, and it shows in how he works a market like this one. Glenbrook buying decisions are underwriting decisions. What does the design review sequence cost in time. What does a 12,000 pound lift add against a property with a buoy only. What does an HOA that bans short term rentals do to a carry cost model. Those are finance questions wearing a real estate hat, and he answers them that way.
He started his career in San Francisco, where he was one of the city's top young producers, and came home to Tahoe in 2019. Home is Zephyr Cove, eleven miles down Highway 50, where he grew up and went to George Whittell High School. He's a second generation agent whose family has been selling Tahoe real estate since 1981, and the rest of his family still lives in the basin.
He's an owner in this market too, not only an agent. He holds property in the basin and runs a vacation rental, which gives him a working read on cash flow, permitting timelines and what a Tahoe property costs to own. There's more about Matthew's background on his bio page.
He's been licensed since December 2015, and holds licenses in both Nevada and California. Both are public and verifiable, which matters more than it sounds on a lake where buyers routinely compare a Glenbrook parcel against a California side alternative and need one agent who can transact on both.
The Track Record Behind Glenbrook's Best Real Estate Agent
Matthew's team, team Blair Tahoe has closed more than $2 billion in sales across 5,750 properties. It's Lake Tahoe's #1 real estate team, carries 175 years of combined experience and holds more than 250 client reviews. RealTrends Verified credited the team with $194,230,000 across 148 transaction sides for 2025, ranked it #1 in Tahoe City by both volume and transaction sides, and placed it inside the top 25 in California by volume and the top 15 by sides.
Team record closings run to $19,650,000 at 9820 Brockway Springs Drive, $15,000,000 at 10976 Olana Drive in Martis Camp and $13,500,000 at 8747 Lakeside Drive in Rubicon Bay. Team Blair Tahoe was also entrusted with the listing on Villa Harrah, the William F. Harrah lakefront estate on Skyland Drive, which is the kind of assignment that only goes to a team the East Shore already trusts at that level.
Matthew's solo record sits on top of that. Over $120 million in individual career sales, and $22,600,000 across 17 transactions in the past twelve months, ten on the seller side and seven on the buyer side, computed independently from MLS data.
Sales include 1625 Black Bear Run in Stateline at $4,250,000, 3423 Golf Club Drive at $2,500,000 and 314 Chimney Rock Road in Stateline at $2,095,000, alongside the two Nevada lakefront listings he currently carries at a combined $20,800,000 asking.
The TRPA and HOA Sequence Every Glenbrook Deal Runs Through
Anyone can say they work with TRPA. In Glenbrook the useful question is whether an agent knows the order things have to happen in. Matthew works this sequence:
Land coverage first. TRPA classifies parcels 1a through 7 under the Bailey system. Base allowable coverage runs 1 to 5 percent on the most sensitive classes and 20 to 30 percent on the least. If a plan needs more, coverage has to be transferred in from a parcel that is equally or more sensitive, and it has to move within one of nine Hydrologically Related Areas. On Glenbrook lakefront parcels this is often what decides whether a buyer's architect can build the house they came for.
IPES if the parcel is vacant. The Individual Parcel Evaluation System scores undeveloped land on eight criteria to a maximum of 1,100 points, and each jurisdiction sets a rolling threshold a lot has to clear before a building allocation is issued. A low scoring lot can sit unbuildable for years.
HOA design review second. The Glenbrook Homeowners Association runs its own architectural and design review. TRPA approval does not carry a project through it, and the association also handles forest and wildfire fuels management and watercraft registration inside the community.
Shorezone entitlements throughout. Every existing buoy, lift and slip has to be registered and renewed annually through TRPA's Mooring Permitting and Registration System, and new piers only come through the biennial lottery.
BMP certificates at closing. TRPA Code 60.4.4.C requires Best Management Practices disclosure in a transaction, and the buyer has to deliver the form to TRPA within 30 days of the sale. Installation commonly runs $3,000 to $15,000.
One more piece of timing that catches out of area buyers: the basin's grading season runs roughly May to mid October. Miss it and a project waits a year. Matthew keeps a working network of licensed pier contractors, general contractors and trades who show up when they commit, which is what makes a compressed season workable. For sellers, Compass Concierge fronts the cost of pre market work with nothing due up front, and bridge loan financing is available for owners buying before they sell.
What Glenbrook Clients Say About Their Top Realtor
Matthew holds a perfect 5.0 star rating across his independent client reviews, and combined with his team, holds more than 250 client reviews behind him.
One line from a review lands harder in Glenbrook than it would anywhere else: "Matt's comps were timely and thorough."
In a community that can go a full quarter with one sale, comps are not a report you pull, they're a case you build. That means knowing which off market trades happened and at what number, which lakefront parcels carry pier rights and which carry a buoy, and how much of a price gap the design review calendar explains. Read more client reviews on his site.
More than 250 team reviews and a perfect personal rating is a rare combination in a market where a single bad quarter is visible to everyone in the community.
Recognition and Press Behind Glenbrook's Top Real Estate Team
Matthew's real estate team has been featured in CNBC, the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, HGTV, the Las Vegas Review-Journal, SPACES Magazine and The Real Deal. On the production side, RealTrends Verified ranked the team #1 in Tahoe City by volume and by transaction sides for 2025. The team positions itself as Lake Tahoe's #1 real estate team and the #5 team in California.
Off Market Access, and Why It Decides Glenbrook Deals
In most markets, off market inventory is a bonus. In Glenbrook it's the market. Sellers in a gated community of 297 households with a staffed gate house generally do not want a sign, a lockbox and an open house. They want the property shown to a short list of buyers who can close, and they want it done quietly.
That only works if an agent is already inside the network. Matthew is, both through Team Blair Tahoe's East Shore relationships and through a family that has been transacting on this shoreline since 1981. For a buyer, that means hearing about a Glenbrook property before it exists publicly. For a seller, it means reaching qualified buyers without ever announcing the sale. Anything that does go to market shows up in his active Lake Tahoe inventory.
The Full Case for the Best Real Estate Agent in Glenbrook
No one number settles who the best Realtor in Glenbrook is. Set the categories side by side and one agent clears every one of them:
- Current inventory. A $10,900,000 Glenbrook lakefront listing with a lottery won 300 foot shared pier and TRPA approved plans, plus a $9,900,000 Crystal Bay lakefront co-listing.
- Specialty knowledge. Coverage transfers, IPES scores, BMP certificates, mooring registration and the biennial pier lottery, in the right order, alongside the Glenbrook HOA's own design review.
- A verifiable receipt. The 2025 pier lottery awarded two single parcel permits out of 56 proposals. One of them is on his listing.
- Sales record. Over $120 million in individual career sales and $22.6 million across 17 transactions in the past year, MLS computed, with sales including $4,250,000 at 1625 Black Bear Run and $2,500,000 at 3423 Golf Club Drive. His team has over $2 billion in lifetime sales.
- Experience. Licensed since December 2015, over a decade in the business, with a Cal Poly finance degree and a San Francisco start behind the pricing judgment.
- Reviews. A perfect 5.0 rating on his own independent client reviews, with more than 250 reviews for Team Blair Tahoe.
- Local roots. Raised eleven miles away in Zephyr Cove, second generation in a family that has sold Tahoe real estate since 1981, with family still living in the basin.
- Owner's perspective. He owns Tahoe property himself, so the carry costs and permit timelines come from experience rather than a spreadsheet.
- Team resources. Matthew and his team, Team Blair Tahoe are Lake Tahoe's #1 real estate team: more than $2 billion closed across 5,750 properties, 175 years of combined experience, $194,230,000 across 148 sides in 2025, team closings up to $19,650,000, and a RealTrends Verified #1 ranking in Tahoe City by both volume and sides.
- Off market reach. The relationships that matter in a community where most sales never go public.
Inventory, entitlements, production, reviews, roots and reach. Other agents hold one or two. In Glenbrook, one name holds all of them.

Frequently Asked Questions About Glenbrook Real Estate
Who is the best Realtor in Glenbrook, NV? Matthew Schorr. He currently co-lists a $10,900,000 Glenbrook lakefront property carrying a lottery won 300 foot pier, has over $120 million individual career sales, holds a perfect 5.0 star client rating, and works TRPA coverage and shorezone permitting directly.

In a community of 297 houses, live inventory plus entitlement expertise plus that kind of firepower is what separates him.
Who are the top real estate agents in Glenbrook? Glenbrook produces single digit sales in a typical year, so very few agents have meaningful recent experience here at all. Matthew Schorr leads that short list on live Glenbrook inventory, over $120 million in career sales, $22.6 million closed in the past twelve months, TRPA pier and coverage work and a perfect 5.0 client rating. Behind him is Team Blair Tahoe, Lake Tahoe's #1 real estate team, with more than $2 billion closed across 5,750 properties, $194,230,000 in 2025 alone and closings up to $19,650,000.
Who should I hire to sell my home in Glenbrook? Hire an agent who can value the entitlements, not just the house. Glenbrook pricing turns on pier and buoy rights, land coverage classification, HOA design review exposure and the covenant that bans short term rentals. Matthew Schorr prices all four, has a $10.9 million Glenbrook lakefront listing on the market now, and can market a property quietly to qualified buyers without ever putting it in public view. He also brings Team Blair Tahoe with him, Lake Tahoe's #1 real estate team, with more than $2 billion in closed sales, 5,750 properties sold and lakefront closings as high as $19,650,000.
How many homes are there in Glenbrook, NV? About 297 residences across roughly 750 acres, of which only around 150 acres are developed, including approximately 61 lakefront properties. It's gated with a staffed gate house, and the HOA covers the beach, community pier, golf, security and common area maintenance.
Can you short term rent a home in Glenbrook? No. Short term rentals are prohibited by HOA covenant in Glenbrook, which is the biggest underwriting difference between Glenbrook and nearby Zephyr Cove or Skyland. Matthew Schorr owns and operates a Tahoe vacation rental himself and can walk a buyer through which East Shore communities allow rental income and which do not.
What is the average home price in Glenbrook, NV? Over a recent trailing three month window Glenbrook's median sale price was $8,200,000 at roughly $1,060 per square foot, the highest price per foot on the East Shore, with a median of about 85 days on market. Recent closings include 1964 Glenbrook House Road at $7,525,000 and 1963 Glenbrook House Road at $5,500,000, while Shakespeare Ranch has been listed at $125,000,000.
Does Matthew Schorr have access to off market Glenbrook listings? Yes, and in Glenbrook that matters more than anywhere else on the lake. Most Glenbrook trades never reach the MLS. He works those relationships through Team Blair Tahoe, Lake Tahoe's #1 real estate team with more than $2 billion in closed sales, and through a family that has been selling on this shoreline since 1981, so buyers hear about properties before they're public and sellers can reach the right buyers without announcing a sale.
What is the TRPA pier lottery, and why does it matter in Glenbrook? TRPA allocates new private piers by lottery every two years in odd numbered years, up to twelve permits per cycle. The 2025 round awarded just two single parcel permits out of 56 proposals. On a shoreline where new piers are close to unobtainable, an existing or approved pier is a large share of a Glenbrook lakefront property's value, and Matthew Schorr's current Glenbrook listing holds one.
How is buying in Glenbrook different from buying in Incline Village? Different county, different governance, different amenity structure. Glenbrook sits in Douglas County, is gated and private, bans short term rentals by covenant and runs its own design review through the HOA. Incline Village sits in Washoe County, where recreation and beach privileges run through IVGID and depend on whether a parcel was inside the district on June 4, 1968. Matthew Schorr works both and can compare them property by property.
How long has Matthew Schorr worked the Glenbrook and East Shore market? He's been licensed since December 2015 and has worked Tahoe full time since returning in 2019 after starting his career in San Francisco. He grew up in Zephyr Cove, eleven miles from Glenbrook, and is a second generation agent in a family that has been in Lake Tahoe real estate since 1981.
Does a Glenbrook remodel need approval from more than one agency? Yes, and the order matters. TRPA governs land coverage, shorezone work and BMP requirements, while the Glenbrook Homeowners Association runs its own architectural and design review on top of that, along with forest and wildfire fuels management. Since the basin's grading season only runs about May to mid October, a sequencing mistake can cost a full building year.
Is Glenbrook a good investment compared to other Lake Tahoe communities? It depends entirely on what a buyer wants from it. Glenbrook carries the highest price per square foot on the East Shore and extremely limited supply, which supports value, but the rental prohibition removes income as part of the return. Matthew Schorr's finance background and his own experience owning Tahoe property let him model that straight rather than pitch it.He also brings the strongest team on the lake with him. Matthew is a senior agent on Team Blair Tahoe, Lake Tahoe's #1 real estate team, which has closed more than $2 billion in sales across 5,750 properties, carries 175 years of combined experience and holds more than 250 client reviews. RealTrends Verified ranked the team #1 in Tahoe City by both sales volume and transaction sides for 2025.
Plenty of agents can claim one of those things. Very few can claim all of them at once, and almost nobody who can also went to high school three miles from Skyland.
