Discover Why Clients Love Teaming Up with Mark
Mark deserves 10 stars; we can’t say enough about how amazing he is and what a great experience buying a home was because of Mark.
Mark knows the area incredibly well, has great knowledge of construction and how homes are built, has intimate knowledge of the developers and trades people in the area, and has a great passion for Lake Tahoe in general. He really went above and beyond with us and we highly recommend him to anyone buying a home.
Our first home buying experience was with Mark and if we buy another home in the future we will only use Mark Salmon.
Our experience working with Mark was exceptional.
As a Tahoe local for many years, not only does he intimately understand the local property market, he also has a construction background and contacts, which for us was invaluable. Mark provided us with thoughtful advice throughout our search, and helped us close on a property in a complex negotiation.
I would highly recommend and use Mark again.
Mark was a great realtor who helped us find our dream home!
He was patient, thorough, fun to work with, and helped explain all of our questions as first time homebuyers. We had previously worked with 3 other relators, and Mark was the only one to truly understand what we were looking for and help us to get it through his tenacity and helpful searching/communication!
We ultimately purchased our first home because of Mark.
In addition, from the offer being received to the full close, he was extremely helpful in following up with all parties involved even when he didn’t have to engage at this point, which made it much easier for us as buyers to complete the transaction.
Thanks, Mark, for helping us find our dream home!!

Mark is one of the most knowledgeable agents I have ever worked with.
He is always available and goes above and beyond the standard duties of an agent.
Highly recommend if you are looking to buy or sell in the Lake Tahoe area.

Mark is professional, friendly and caring.
He will help you 110% if you are looking for a realtor! He has the local knowledge and expertise with deep Tahoe roots. I was very happy with his help! He kept me informed by phone calls and texts and was available for consultation when needed. He knew all the pertinent details that needed to be checked out and handled everything smoothly and efficiently.
I’ve now worked with Mark on both a purchase and sale transaction for single family homes in South Lake Tahoe.
My experience with Mark reflected a truly unique combination of specific experience with the local neighborhoods, deep knowledge of the market and its workings, and active engagement in important issues impacting the industry.
You won’t find a realtor more in tune with what’s going on locally, and Mark will go out of his way to exceed each and every one of your expectations.
I’d highly recommend using Mark for your real estate needs, you will not be disappointed.
Really appreciated the work Mark put into our efforts to find our perfect Tahoe cabin.
In the end, we got exactly what we wanted- and more- because Mark knew what he was doing! Will enjoy our property for years (or generations) to come.
Mark is amazing.
He helped us in purchasing a home in South Lake Tahoe. The market in SLT is tough and its only through Mark’s knowledge were we able to beat out 15 other prospective buyers for the same property.
During our home search process, its amazing how Mark’s assessment of the properties we were looking at and the price they would sell for was spot on. Mark has also worked as developer and he was able to guide us on what can/cannot be done on the home we purchased. Lake Tahoe has tons of arcane permit and allocation rules, so you need someone knowledgeable to guide you if you would be remodeling or expanding your home in the future. Mark is intimately familiar with county and TRPA rules and has on-the-ground experience in building these homes.
I highly recommend Mark if you want to purchase a home. His knowledge and connections are what sets him apart from other professionals.
Mark was extraordinary to work with.
During the tumultuous, post-COVID period in the Tahoe market when he was extraordinarily busy, Mark remained generous with his time and super-responsive to our questions. He’s seen it all, so there wasn’t an obstacle we encountered that he couldn’t calmly mitigate.
So much of real estate is about local knowledge, and Mark has that in spades. He knows every home that’s about to hit the market… before it hits. He knows exactly which builders, lenders, escrow providers, property managers, etc. to work with. He even told us where to get a great steak to celebrate our close! He turned the stressful experience of buying a home into something we actually enjoyed.
I whole-heartedly recommend working with Mark.

Mark helped introduce me to the market in South Lake Tahoe and is a local expert.
Due to the COVID situation, most of the deal had to be transacted from afar, but Mark made sure that I was comfortable and informed every step of the way. I highly recommend working with Mark is you are shopping for a home in the Lake Tahoe area.

When looking for a good real estate agent, I always have a few criteria in mind:
- Relentless in pursuit of what the client is looking for
- Great communications and honesty
- Ability to truly understand the client’s preferences (what is it that I am really looking for)
- Great knowledge of the market
Mark was absolutely fantastic in all these dimensions. He not only knows the market exceptionally well, but he also seems to know everyone there.
There wasn’t a single property that we were considering that he didn’t know about – its history or the people associated with it. As our search progressed Mark expertly guided us from looking at various homes, making an offer, to transitioning to a search for a vacant lot.
Once we identified a lot that was recently taken off the market but met our requirements, Mark helped us to convince the owners to consider selling and helped us negotiate the deal. He also, through his personal contacts, was able to drastically accelerate the deal and help us get the required building rights.

Mark was fantastic to work with in finding our new home.
He has a deep local knowledge of South Lake Tahoe. His straightforward style made it easy to build trust in the weird world of covid home buying where visiting a lot of homes was difficult. We could rely on him to filter the homes worth paying attention to. And in a hot market he helped us make a successful bid very quickly. He was super-responsive at answering my random texts at all hours.
Highly recommended.
