Real estate, for me, is more than a profession. It's a natural extension of a life shaped by the mountains, the outdoors, and the vibrant communities of Lake Tahoe and Reno. My journey began when I moved to Reno to study Marketing at the University of Nevada, Reno. Between classes and working at Boreal, I fell in love with Tahoe's energy, authenticity, and adventurous spirit. When I later moved to North Lake Tahoe with my husband Tyler, an Incline Village local, everything clicked.
I've been serving the Tahoe Sierra region for over a decade, and being dual-licensed in both California and Nevada gives me a rare cross-state advantage in one of the West's most dynamic real estate landscapes.
With a degree in Marketing and years immersed in the Tahoe lifestyle, I bring a marketing-driven, data-informed, concierge-level approach to every client relationship. I blend creative strategy with hyper-local expertise, delivering thoughtful guidance, clear communication, and a calm, proactive presence from start to finish. My on-site presence at Palisades Tahoe Lodge and deep community ties give me access to real-time insights, off-market opportunities, and a level of market awareness that sets my work apart.
Clients often describe me as educational, honest, and steady in high-pressure moments. They count on me for strong negotiation, thorough market analysis, and a seamless experience that includes vendor coordination, polished staging, and elevated marketing. Above all, I'm a true advocate who protects my clients' goals and empowers their decisions.
Outside of real estate, you'll find me snowboarding, hiking, camping, practicing aerial silks, traveling, or boating. I live in Verdi, Nevada with Tyler and our two sons, Luke and Maxx, plus our dog Biggie and three Bengal cats.
If you have a client headed to Tahoe, Truckee, Reno, or anywhere in between, I'd be honored to take great care of them. You can count on responsive communication, transparent updates, and a referral partner who treats your reputation like my own.
"My husband and I had the absolute best experience working with Jovanah to purchase our first home in Sparks, NV. As first-time homebuyers using a VA loan, we expected the process to feel overwhelming, but Jovanah made everything smooth, clear, and surprisingly easy. Her professionalism, local knowledge, and genuine care made all the difference."
"We could not have asked for a better experience. We were impressed with her prompt responses and solution-oriented attitude. She is knowledgeable, experienced, and very professional from start to finish. She took excellent care of us throughout the process. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell."
"Jovanah is exceptional. This was our third real estate transaction with her in Truckee, and I would absolutely work with her again. Her knowledge regarding pricing is excellent—it's best to trust her and trust her process. She's great with staging, photography, listings, and showings. She really goes the extra mile."
When you refer a client to me, I treat your reputation like my own. You'll get prompt communication throughout the transaction, transparent updates at every milestone, and a client experience built on the same concierge-level service I'm known for. My goal is for your client to feel taken care of from the first call to closing day and for you to feel confident sending me the next one.
I'm known for being prompt, clear, and steady, especially in high-pressure moments. Clients describe me as educational and honest, and I keep referring agents in the loop with proactive updates so there are never any surprises along the way.
