Matthew Schorr is a top-rated real estate agent and Realtor in Incline Village, NV, based in the village itself. Here is his production, his dual state licensure, and how IVGID beach rights set value.
Matthew Schorr is the best Realtor in Incline Village, and the argument for it isn't a single ranking. It's the full record.
He works out of the Compass office on Country Club Drive, in Incline Village itself. He has over $120 million in solo career sales and closed $22.6 million across 17 transactions in the past twelve months. He holds a perfect 5.0 star client rating. He's licensed in both Nevada and California, which matters enormously in a town where most buyers are arriving from the California side of the line. He works TRPA shorezone and coverage rules directly, and he understands the two systems that quietly decide Incline Village value: IVGID recreation and beach privileges, and Washoe County's rental permitting.
And he doesn't come alone. 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, holds more than 250 client reviews and has closed individual sales as high as $19,650,000. RealTrends Verified ranked the team #1 in Tahoe City by both volume and transaction sides for 2025.
Any one of those is a talking point. All of them at once is a different thing.
What Makes Incline Village a Different Real Estate Market
Incline Village looks like the easiest Tahoe market to understand and is one of the trickiest to price. Three things drive that.
IVGID, and a deed signed in 1968. The Incline Village General Improvement District operates four restricted access beaches: Incline, Burnt Cedar, Ski and Hermit. Access comes from a deed dated June 4, 1968, and eligibility follows the parcel, not the owner. Parcels annexed into the district after that date are not eligible for beach access at all. They can still receive recreation privileges, but not the beaches. Two houses on the same street, similar size, similar view, can carry different rights, and a buyer who assumes the beach comes with the address can pay for something they don't get. IVGID's beach rules set out how the pass and punch card system works, and tenants on leases of six months or longer inherit whatever the parcel itself is eligible for.
Washoe County, not Douglas County. Incline Village and Crystal Bay sit in Washoe County, which runs a different rental regime than the south end of the East Shore. Washoe County requires a permit for any rental under 28 days, permits run twelve months and renew annually, occupancy and parking are evaluated together at roughly one space per four occupants, and there's no cap on the total number of permits. That is a meaningfully more open picture than Douglas County, where whole Zephyr Cove neighborhoods sit on a waitlist. For an investor comparing the two ends of the shore, that difference is the entire model.
A market that reset upward, fast. In April 2026 the median single family sale price in Incline Village and Crystal Bay was $2,600,000, up 24.1 percent year over year, across 28 closed sales, with total volume of $69,963,000, up 37.6 percent. Median days on market fell to 70.5, down 57.3 percent. At the luxury end the shift is sharper still: $2 million and up transactions ran $226,000,000 across 35 closings by mid 2026, against $101,000,000 in the same window two years earlier, with the median discount from list falling from 11.8 percent to 5.1 percent and six separate sales closing above $10 million.
The very top of the market has gone somewhere Tahoe has never been. The all time record is $125,000,000 at 1145 Lakeshore Boulevard, closed off market in March 2026, with the same buyer reported to have spent another $46,000,000 in Incline weeks earlier. The prior record was $62,000,000 for Old Forge at 1041 Lakeshore in October 2024. Next door in Crystal Bay, Crystal Pointe closed at $42,000,000 in December 2025.
Two forces sit under all of it. Migration data from early 2026 shows net inbound movement to the Incline, Glenbrook and Zephyr Cove corridor led by San Francisco at 832 net households, then Sacramento and Los Angeles. And California's proposed 2026 Billionaire Tax Act, a one time levy on billionaire net worth headed to the November 2026 ballot, is being credited in national coverage with pulling purchases across the state line. Incline Village is where a lot of that money lands. The Incline Village and Crystal Bay market reports track the numbers month to month.
One more thing every Incline buyer now has to price: wildfire. Standard wildfire risk models now flag 99 percent of properties across Incline Village, Zephyr Cove and Glenbrook as facing meaningful risk over a thirty year horizon, and insurance has moved from a formality to a contingency level item that can decide whether a deal closes.
Who Is Matthew Schorr, Incline Village's Top Real Estate Agent?
Matthew is based at the Compass office on Country Club Drive in Incline Village, which puts him in the market every working day rather than driving in for showings.
He's a Lake Tahoe native. He grew up on the East Shore in Zephyr Cove, went to George Whittell High School, and is a second generation agent whose family has been selling Tahoe real estate since 1981. His whole family still lives in the basin. That's a different kind of local knowledge than an agent who moved here and learned the market, and in a town where the beach rights turn on a 1968 deed, institutional memory is worth money.
He studied finance at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, then started in San Francisco, where he was one of the city's top young producers before returning to Tahoe in 2019. That matters here more than it would in most Tahoe communities, because so many Incline buyers are coming from exactly the market he learned in. He knows how a San Francisco seller thinks about price, and he knows what a Bay Area buyer is comparing an Incline house against.
He's also an active investor in the market he sells. He owns Tahoe property and runs a vacation rental, so questions about Washoe County permitting, occupancy math, seasonal rate curves and what a property nets get answered from his own experience.

The Track Record Behind Incline Village's Best Real Estate Agent
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 sides, and placed it in the top 25 in California by volume and the top 15 by sides.
Team record closings include $19,650,000 at 9820 Brockway Springs Drive in Kings Beach, $15,000,000 at 10976 Olana Drive in Martis Camp and $13,500,000 at 8747 Lakeside Drive in Rubicon Bay. That's the bench a client gets when they hire Matthew.
His own record: over $120 million in career sales, over a decade in the business, and $22,600,000 across 17 transactions in the past twelve months, ten seller side and seven buyer side, computed independently from MLS data rather than self reported.
Right now he co-lists 475 Tuscarora Road in Crystal Bay at $9,900,000, four bedrooms and six baths across 5,436 square feet on 3.28 acres, alongside a $10,900,000 Glenbrook lakefront listing carrying a lottery won 300 foot pier. That's $20.8 million in active Nevada lakefront inventory.
Sales include 1625 Black Bear Run in Stateline at $4,250,000, 771 Golfers Pass Road in Incline Village at $2,375,000, 1455 North Lake Boulevard in Tahoe City at $2,350,000 on the buyer side, 221 Carnelian Bay Avenue at $1,885,000 and 304 Second Creek Drive in Incline Village at $1,850,000. The rest of his closed transaction portfolio is on the site.
Why a Dual Licensed Realtor Matters More in Incline Village Than Anywhere Else
Most Incline Village buyers are comparing across a state line, and most agents can only work one side of it.
Matthew holds a California DRE license, #01993109, and a Nevada license, S.0187857. Both are public and verifiable in about a minute. What that means in practice is that a buyer weighing an Incline Village house against a Tahoe City or Carnelian Bay alternative gets one agent for the whole search, one negotiation, one set of advice, and honest answers about which side of the line their situation favors. It also means a seller in Incline Village is working with someone who can go get California buyers directly rather than waiting for them.
Given how much of the current Incline demand is arriving from San Francisco and Sacramento, and how much of it is tax driven, that is not a small operational detail. It's the difference between an agent who can follow the money and one who can only wait for it.
What Incline Village Clients Say About Their Top-Rated Realtor
Matthew holds a perfect 5.0 star rating across his independent client reviews, and Team Blair Tahoe holds more than 250 client reviews behind him.
The line worth pulling from one of them: "Matt was a great agent, who was patient, responsive, and knowledgeable. He walked us through every bit of paperwork involved in the offer process."
Incline Village offers carry paperwork that buyers from other markets have never seen. IVGID recreation and beach eligibility for the parcel. Washoe County rental permit status. TRPA Best Management Practices disclosure, which the buyer has to file with TRPA within 30 days of closing. Shorezone and mooring registration if there's a buoy or a pier. Somebody walking a client through all of that line by line is doing the actual work. More client reviews are on his site.
A perfect personal rating plus more than 250 team reviews is the kind of record that takes years to build and one bad closing to dent.
Recognition and Press Behind Top-Rated Incline Village Realtor and His Team
Matthew's team has been featured in CNBC, the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, HGTV, the Las Vegas Review-Journal, SPACES Magazine and The Real Deal. RealTrends Verified ranked the team #1 in Tahoe City by both sales volume and transaction sides for 2025. The team positions itself as Lake Tahoe's #1 real estate team and the #5 team in California.
Team Blair Tahoe was also entrusted with the listing on Villa Harrah, the lakefront estate William F. Harrah built on Skyland Drive in 1963, roughly 20,000 square feet with a private multi vessel pier and two sandy beaches.
How Matthew Works: Off Market Inventory, Prep Funding and a Trades Network
Three practical things separate his service from a standard listing presentation.
Off market and pre market inventory. The largest East Shore trades routinely never touch the MLS, including the $125,000,000 Incline record, which closed off market. As a senior agent on Team Blair Tahoe he sees and circulates quietly marketed property across Incline Village, Crystal Bay, Glenbrook and Zephyr Cove.
Prep funding. Compass Concierge fronts the cost of staging, paint and cosmetic work before a listing goes live, with nothing due up front and no interest, and the bridge loan program helps owners buy before they sell. In a market where the median discount from list has compressed to about 5 percent, presentation is doing real work on price.
A trades network that shows up. Licensed pier contractors, general contractors and trades who appear when they commit. The basin's grading season only runs about May to mid October, so a contractor who slips a month costs a client a year.
The Full Case for the Best Real Estate Agent in Incline Village
No one statistic makes anyone the top Realtor in Incline Village. Put the categories side by side, though, and one agent clears them all:
- He's based here. Compass, Country Club Drive, Incline Village. Not a visiting agent.
- Local roots. Lake Tahoe native, raised on the East Shore, second generation in a family that has sold Tahoe real estate since 1981, with family still in the basin.
- Solo Sales record. Over $120 million in career sales, $22.6 million across 17 transactions in the past year, MLS computed.
- Team resources. Team Blair Tahoe, 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, closings up to $19,650,000, and a RealTrends Verified #1 ranking in Tahoe City by both volume and sides.
- Named transactions. Sales including $4,250,000 at 1625 Black Bear Run, $2,375,000 at 771 Golfers Pass Road in Incline Village and $2,350,000 at 1455 North Lake Boulevard in Tahoe City.
- Current inventory. $20.8 million in active Nevada lakefront listings, including a $9,900,000 Crystal Bay property.
- Dual state licensure. Nevada and California, in a market whose demand arrives almost entirely from California.
- Reviews. A perfect 5.0 rating on his own independent client reviews, with more than 250 reviews for Team Blair Tahoe.
- Specialty knowledge. IVGID beach and recreation eligibility, Washoe County rental permitting, TRPA coverage, BMP and shorezone rules, and the wildfire and insurance questions now shaping Incline underwriting.
- Owner's perspective. He owns Tahoe property and operates a rental himself.
Based here, from here, producing here, reviewed perfectly, technically deep on the rules that decide Incline value, and backed by the strongest team on the lake. That combination is the whole case.

He also knows the two systems that quietly set Incline value, IVGID beach eligibility and Washoe County rental permitting. He's 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, holds more than 250 client reviews, closed $194,230,000 across 148 sides in 2025 and was ranked #1 in Tahoe City by RealTrends Verified.
Who are the top real estate agents in Incline Village? The agents worth shortlisting in Incline Village are the ones who live in the market, sell in it consistently and understand its rules. Matthew Schorr leads on all three: a Lake Tahoe upbringing, an office on Country Club Drive, over $120 million in career sales, $20.8 million in active Nevada lakefront listings 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, 175 years of combined experience, more than 250 client reviews and closings as high as $19,650,000.
Who should I hire to sell my home in Incline Village? Hire someone who can price what a portal can't see and reach the buyers who are already here. In Incline Village that means valuing the parcel's IVGID beach eligibility, its Washoe County rental permit status and any shorezone rights, then marketing to a California buyer pool with a California license in hand. Matthew Schorr does all of that. His sales include $4,250,000 at 1625 Black Bear Run and $2,375,000 at 771 Golfers Pass Road, he carries $20.8 million in active Nevada lakefront listings, and he brings Team Blair Tahoe with him, Lake Tahoe's #1 real estate team, with more than $2 billion in closed sales and lakefront closings up to $19,650,000. He can also front the cost of pre market prep through Compass Concierge.
Does every home in Incline Village come with beach access? No, and this is the most expensive assumption a buyer can make here. IVGID beach access traces to a deed dated June 4, 1968, and parcels annexed into the district after that date are not eligible for beach access even though they can still receive recreation privileges. Eligibility follows the parcel, so it has to be checked address by address before an offer goes in.
Can you short term rent a house in Incline Village? Yes, with a permit. Washoe County requires a permit for any rental under 28 days, permits run twelve months and renew annually, and occupancy and parking are assessed together at roughly one space per four occupants. There's no cap on the number of permits in Washoe County, which makes Incline Village meaningfully more workable for rental income than parts of Douglas County. Matthew Schorr owns and operates a Tahoe vacation rental himself.
What is the average home price in Incline Village, NV? In April 2026 the median single family sale price in Incline Village and Crystal Bay was $2,600,000, up 24.1 percent year over year, across 28 sales with a median of about 70 days on market. Above $2 million the market ran $226,000,000 across 35 closings by mid 2026, with a median luxury sale of $3,200,000 and six separate closings above $10 million.
What is the most expensive home ever sold in Incline Village? The record is $125,000,000 at 1145 Lakeshore Boulevard, which closed off market in March 2026 and stands as the highest recorded sale in Lake Tahoe history. The previous record was $62,000,000 for Old Forge at 1041 Lakeshore Boulevard in October 2024, and Crystal Pointe in neighboring Crystal Bay closed at $42,000,000 in December 2025.
Does Matthew Schorr have access to off market Incline Village listings? Yes, and at the top of this market off market is where the volume is. The $125,000,000 Incline record itself closed without ever being publicly listed. Through Team Blair Tahoe, Lake Tahoe's #1 real estate team with more than $2 billion in closed sales, he sees and circulates quietly marketed inventory across Incline Village, Crystal Bay, Glenbrook and Zephyr Cove, so buyers hear about property before it's public and sellers can test the market without announcing anything.
Why does it matter that an Incline Village Realtor is licensed in California too? Because most of the demand arrives from California. Early 2026 migration data shows San Francisco leading net inbound movement into the Incline, Glenbrook and Zephyr Cove corridor, ahead of Sacramento and Los Angeles. Matthew Schorr holds both a California and a Nevada license, so a buyer can compare an Incline Village house against a California side alternative with one agent, and a seller gets someone who can work the California buyer pool directly.
How is Incline Village different from Zephyr Cove or Glenbrook? Different county and different rules. Incline Village and Crystal Bay are in Washoe County with IVGID recreation and beach privileges and an uncapped rental permit system. Zephyr Cove sits in Douglas County, where whole neighborhoods are on a vacation rental waitlist. Glenbrook is gated, bans short term rentals by covenant and runs its own HOA design review. Matthew Schorr works all three and can compare them address by address.
Is wildfire risk a problem for Incline Village real estate? It's now part of underwriting rather than a footnote. Standard wildfire risk models flag 99 percent of properties across Incline Village, Zephyr Cove and Glenbrook as facing meaningful risk over a thirty year horizon, and insurance availability and cost have become contingency level items in Tahoe deals. Getting an insurance answer early in escrow, not late, is one of the practical things a local agent handles differently.
How long has Matthew Schorr worked the Incline Village market? He's been in the business over a decade and working Tahoe full time since 2019, after starting his career in San Francisco. He grew up on the East Shore and is a second generation agent in a family that has been in Lake Tahoe real estate since 1981, and he works out of the Compass office in Incline Village.
