“Therefore we are all, in some sense, mountaineers, and going to the Mountains is going home.” - John Muir

It’s time to claim your piece of tranquility and splendor! Experience the peace and serenity of Lake Tahoe with a resourceful and hardworking professional who genuinely cares – a skilled expert who will guide you on a strategic path to achieving your goals.

I am Debra Smutny. Growing up camping, my love of the mountains was instilled at an early age. As a parent of two children, I wanted to pass on this same appreciation and love of nature. Over the past 30 years, my husband and I have visited and vacationed in Lake Tahoe, always with the glimmer of hope that one day we would own our piece of paradise. A place for family, a place for memories, a place to breathe, to explore, and to feel connected to nature. I am humbled and grateful that this dream became a reality, and it has changed our lives for the better in so many ways.

The transition from elementary school teacher to real estate professional has been smooth and exciting as I bring motivation, enthusiasm and dedication to my real estate career. My background as an educator offers a unique and creative perspective. Teachers understand the importance of community, building a foundation of caring and listening to accomplish and inspire.

I take pride in being a knowledgeable local with firsthand experience in the real estate market. I am aware of current trends and the importance of strategic marketing. Strong relationships of trust and integrity help us navigate the nuances of the many amazing neighborhoods around Lake Tahoe together. Expect meticulous attention to detail and strong communication skills, setting high standards to meet critical goals and objectives.

Coming from a real estate family and having over 30 years of experience buying and selling, I have gained insight into the importance of valuing others. Just like my students, my clients are my top priority. Whether you’re buying or selling, I look forward to assisting you with your next real estate endeavor.

Let’s jump in and together walk a path that is fun, stress free, and intentional.
