Here is my story.
Lake Tahoe has been a part of my life since I was a small child. In the late 1940s my parents regularly took my brother and I, in both the summers and winter, to what was then Bijou (today the heart of South Lake Tahoe). I started skiing at Heavenly Valley when I was eight years old. I first skied Squaw Valley in 1958 and fell in love with it. Throughout my childhood, teens and collage years I visited Tahoe regularly. I skied all over the basin, but mostly at Squaw and Heavenly. I had always wanted to spend a winter working for a ski area, but there seemed to always be a good reason to put it off. Finally, in 1980, my wife Mary Margaret (MM) and I were hired by Alpine Meadows and moved to Tahoe City for what we thought would be one season. That season has never ended.
I was like a kid in a candy store. I skied 110 days that season. In the spring of 1981, when our seasonal jobs at Alpine ended, we didn’t want to leave. After exploring several different job possibilities we both obtained our Real Estate licenses that summer and began our real estate careers in the greater North Lake Tahoe region. By the fall of 1982 we were based in Squaw Valley. From the beginning of that season until now we have been continuous Squaw Valley season pass holders and members of the Members Locker Room since 1991.
During the last three plus decades we became expert skiers, avid mountain bikers, raised two beautiful girls who were both on the Squaw Valley Ski Team and we remained in Real Estate. Both of our daughters have become expert skiers. Our oldest, Johanna, became an extraordinary snowboarder and our youngest, Amanda, was on the Squaw Valley Free Style Team. In the 80s and early 90s I had the pleasure of regularly skiing with some of Squaw Valley’s legendary skiers of that era; Robbie Huntoon, Steve McKinney, Dan Mooney, to name a few. We skied places that now are where competitions are held. I still ski some of those places.
Moving to Tahoe City, where I still live, was the smartest decision we ever made. It has been a wonderful place to raise our two girls, who are now college graduates and who both live close by. It provided us with an incomparable lifestyle in an incredibly beautiful environment. My occupation has given me the opportunity to meet many wonderful people and over the years to assist hundreds of them with selling their property or finding their ideal Lake Tahoe, Squaw Valley or Truckee permanent residence or vacation home, which I have thoroughly enjoyed. I have also worked with developers in creating and managing marketing programs and sales teams. I have been very blessed.
I am currently in my third term as a Director of the Tahoe Sierra Multiple Listing Service. For twenty one years I had an office in Squaw Valley. On May 31, 2016 I closed my Squaw Valley office and joined Chase International Real Estate in Tahoe City. I did this because the Real Estate industry has changed. The internet, mobile devices and incredibly large brokerages have made it much harder to be an independent Realtor. In order to stay competitive I had to be associated with a well known brand and have the ability to expand my reach beyond the confines of Northern California. For over 30 years, Chase International has built an unparalleled reputation as the “Leader in Luxury Real Estate” successfully serving all of Lake Tahoe, California and Nevada. We are not a large franchise but an independent top producing brokerage that is connected with other top producing independent brokerages in 16 areas of California and many international locations. Chase International gives me worldwide reach.
In my years living in the North Tahoe area my Real Estate focus has mostly been in Squaw Valley, North Tahoe and Truckee, but I have also assisted clients in the South Lake Tahoe and Incline Village markets. Since 1981 with my many years of experience I have become very knowledgeable of the many unique characteristics and primary differences in lifestyle and vacation experiences offered by all of our diverse mountain communities. This gives me the ability to successfully market our North Tahoe and Squaw/Alpine and Truckee properties and direct clients to the properties (both area and the type of ownership) that will most ideally suit their needs. To see what I offer to clients explore my website and read my testimonials. To be kept up to date on our local activities and our Real Estate Market sign up for my newsletters on the website, or by emailing me at grankin@chaseinternational.com. If you allow me work for you, I guarantee you will be pleased and learn firsthand why I have such a long list of very satisfied clients and I will welcome the opportunity to be of service to you.
My motto is “Superior Service and Integrity”
"I cannot recommend Greg Rankin highly enough for his expertise, follow up, and advice in the recent sale of my fractional ownership condominium in Kings Beach. Fractional ownerships are historically difficult to market and sell but Greg did an outstanding job bringing more than one prospective buyer to the table. His team follows up closely and quickly for all needed documentation and signatures during the sale and escrow process. If you are looking to buy or sell in the North Tahoe area you should definitely contact Greg Rankin."
"Greg Rankin is a true Real Estate pro. He knew all the people, Title Company, the Management Company, contractors, etc. to get everything we needed done to be ready to sell our property. Chase International gave the listed property plenty of visibility. We received an offer for asking price in a much shorter time than expected. His staff handled all the paperwork and communications that made the transaction simple and easy. Greg is a super nice man with high integrity and willingness to share from his vast experience. Because he's well connected, he makes things happen fast."
"Greg Rankin is a true Real Estate pro. He got his Real Estate license in 1981 and has been working in the Tahoe Real Estate market since then.

"I had the pleasure of working with Greg Rankin for the second time to sell a property at Granlibakken in Tahoe City, and once again the experience was exceptional. Greg is professional, kind, and truly goes out of his way to make everything seamless. His decades of industry expertise, paired with deep knowledge of the local community and local connections, make him an invaluable resource. Both of my transactions with Greg were smooth from start to finish--an experience that's rare in real estate. Living in Monterey, it was especially important for me to work with someone I could trust and feel confident working from a distance. Greg exceeded every expectation and I genuinely believe he is the best real estate agent in Tahoe City. I highly recommend him for any real estate transaction!"

"We were so thankful to work with Greg Rankin on the purchase of our dream home in Tahoe City. Throughout the home buying process, Greg has proven himself a highly experienced and knowledgeable buyer’s agent, who worked closely with us every step of the way. Greg educated and guided us through the home buying process, sharing his vast knowledge of the local market. He was always available and highly responsive to our many questions and concerns. Greg helped bring our Tahoe dreams to life."
"Leah & Jeff Minnery Greg Rankin found and sold us our perfect slice of paradise! We called Greg about a year before we finally made our purchase in Kings Beach, Lake Tahoe. Greg was so patient, informative and helpful in trying to narrow down our search from so far away. We live about 6 hours from Tahoe so finding the right property in the right location was something that wasn’t super easy to do from so far away. I always had questions and more questions for Greg to try and pre-qualify a property. He always got back to me right away with the answers we needed. He would offer to drive by each property and take a closer look for us which again allowed us to narrow down our search. Once we found the house we wanted, my husband made the 6 hour drive and put a full price offer that very day. We knew we had something special and needed to make it ours. Greg guided us through the process and we closed at our offered price in a timely manner. Again, there were a lot of details and decisions that needed to be arranged and Greg was there to help. Greg’s demeanor is calm, respectful and kind. He understands the market in Tahoe and has long standing relationships within the community that we continue to utilize. I would highly recommend using Greg Rankin with any real estate needs. He is truly a wonderful guy!"
"Greg Rankin was a Pleasure to work with. We are repeat clients and have worked with Greg twice now. Once to purchase a house and once to sell a house. Both times he made the experience effortlessly easy. Greg is very prompt in returning your phone calls, texts an emails. He kept us posted on every detail when buying our home and selling it. He is also very knowledgeable in the North Lake Tahoe area and has lived there for many years. He and his wife also worked and raised their family in North Lake Tahoe. So any question never went unanswered. Greg is honest, fair and very professional and puts his clients needs first. One thing we loved about our experience with Greg was that he is very personable, meaning he prefers phone calls and likes talking to his clients one on one when questions arise. That is one of the many reasons why we choose Greg twice to be our relator Not only have we referred Greg to our friends or anyone who needs a relator we have also made a friend."
"I would highly recommend Greg Rankin to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in the Tahoe or Squaw Valley Area. He gets things done quickly and thoroughly, with personal attention to the many details required for a smooth transaction. His ethics are top-notch. He is a pleasure to work with at all times, even with the inevitable problem solving interactions that are part of anything as personally important to buyers and sellers as the purchase or sale of their home. Greg was very prompt at all times. He gave clear, simple explanations for all procedures including all standard legal documents and home inspections. He provided insider information about the local region, neighborhood, weather and traffic patterns, etc. that only a lifetime local agent and mountain sports enthusiast could know. He provided information about the best local contractors, inspectors, and skilled service providers, including television and internet companies. He was especially helpful in directing me to furniture vendors, including consignment furniture stores in Reno that had great quality furniture at very reasonable prices with convenient and immediate delivery to Tahoe."
"If you’re looking for a realtor, I would highly recommend Greg Rankin. I have purchased 6 homes over the years and Greg is one of my favorite agents. I met Greg in 2019 when I was looking to purchase a home in Tahoe. Because he’s lived in Tahoe for many years, he knows the area like the back of his hand. He helped us understand the different neighborhoods and what fit best with our needs. He is very patient, professional and accommodating with his time. He is a great listener and answers your questions in a timely manner. When we worked with Greg, he didn’t just sell us a home. He helped us with the process – from inspections to escrow and fire insurance, he was there every step of the way. One home we were considering needed some possible repairs and upgrades. So Greg had a contractor join us during one of our visits to help us understand the feasibility and cost of the repairs we were considering before purchasing the home. And he doesn’t stop once he’s sold you the home. I have called Greg a handful times after we moved in to pick his brain and his local knowledge on hot tubs, snow plow companies and various handymen recommendations. Buying a home can be very taxing. But Greg really took the stress out of it. I am so grateful that he was my realtor! Trust me, I can not say this about all of the realtors I have worked with. Greg knows what he is doing and I couldn’t recommend a better realtor for Tahoe. We absolutely love our new home! Thanks Greg!"
"We have worked with many real estate agents from various states over the years and Greg is definitely in the top 1%. Greg listens to his client’s needs, respects a client’s budget, regularly updates his clients on new opportunities, offers his expertise in guiding a client through the entire purchase / sale process and always goes the extra mile for his clients. For example, Greg drove all the way to Reno in search of an owner who has taken his property off the market because we were interested in purchasing this property; this is after the owner failed to response to Greg’s inquiry by mail. Greg is an experienced agent with integrity. We would highly recommend Greg with all of your real estate needs. "

"I would like to say a few words regarding a realtor that my wife and I worked with for almost a year, Greg Rankin. We met Greg through a friend of ours that bought a home in Kings Beach. We had been thinking about buying a vacation home in the Tahoe region for some time and asked our friend if she recommended anyone in the area, she recommended Greg as a very well-respected relator in North Lake Tahoe. We contacted Greg over the phone because we live in the Bay Area, the phone conversation went very well. Greg is soft spoken and is very relaxed when speaking. Greg did a short interview with us and asked questions about what are needs were and the price range that we needed to stay within. Greg also asked when we were coming back to the region so he could have a list of properties that we could look at. We met two weeks later but prior to meeting in person Greg started sending us listing that he thought we would like. Greg did this for almost a year until we found a home. When we met for the first time Greg had set up a schedule for the next two days to visit properties that he thought we would like and some that we wanted to view. Greg took us around the different towns and areas so we could get a true feeling of the region. Let me tell you that this was exactly what we needed because we changed our ideas of where we thought we wanted to buy. Greg knows the Tahoe region very well seeing that he's lived there most of his life. Greg gave us the pros and cons of each area so we could decide what we wanted in a second home. Greg spent a lot of time with us probably more than he should of, we viewed more than 150 homes over the internet and we walked in at least 50 homes with Greg. When we did find the prefect home for us Greg held are hand through the entire process because we had not bought a home for over 22 years. He helped us with the lender, home inspections and all the little things that needed to be completed. Greg even requested a 2nd roof inspection that helped us during our negotiations.In closing I can't praise or thank Greg enough for all he did. Greg had our best interest in mind and was always in contact making sure we were comfortable moving forward. If we ever do decide to sell this home and buy another I will only use Greg Rankin.If you have any questions about what we went through please feel free to contact me at:lippytfd@yahoo.comDarryl S."
"Greg did a terrific job as our agent when we purchased an interest at Old Greenwood in Truckee. He was responsive, very knowledgeable about the development and always willing to track down information he was lacking. Greg has a very low key and collaborative style, which made him a great partner in the process. In the end, we got a great deal and the entire process was incredibly smooth - especially with us not living in the area. I would recommend Greg highly to anyone!!"
"I recently sold my condo at Squaw Valley Resort and worked with Greg to do so. Greg was great to work with - very professional and responsive. He marketed the condo expertly during the busy holiday/snow season and in doing so, I received multiple offers.... and ultimately accepted an offer over asking price. The process was easy and Greg walked me through it step by step ensuring no hiccups. He made the process very easy for me and I did get over what I was asking/expecting. Very happy and would work with Greg again as well as recommend him to anyone else contemplating either buying or selling the greater Tahoe area.Laura Gauci"
