The new Engel & Völkers Lake Tahoe, with an office situated at 210 Elks Point Rd., No. 102 in Zephyr Cove, further solidifies the firm’s presence in the Northwest marketplace.
“With its world renowned lake and ski-slopes, notable outdoor recreation activities and stunning luxury properties, Lake Tahoe presented itself as the ideal location to expand Engel & Völkers’ Northwestern footprint,” says Anthony Hitt, CEO of Engel & Völkers North America.
“As Sharla has proven to be a true force in the Lake Tahoe and Truckee markets with her storied track-record of successfully marketing luxury properties in a way that resonates with buyers and sellers, she will elevate the new Engel & Völkers Lake Tahoe team and do the same for our future Truckee location.”
Chador brings 20 years of luxury brand sales, marketing and promotion andfour years of real estate experience. She comes to Engel & Völkers from Sierra Sotheby’s where she was a partner at the Tahoe Truckee Luxury Group and a top producing real estate agent specializing in a wide range of properties in the Lake Tahoe area. As a result of her extensive knowledge of the local luxury real estate marketplace, she and her team successfully managed, sold and marketed transactions totaling more than $65 million in sales. Prior to joining Tahoe Truckee Luxury Group, Sharla led the management team at Sierra Sotheby’s International Realty where she held the position of Senior Administrator and Director of Marketing for Sierra Sotheby’s International Realty offices in California and Nevada.
“As a Tahoe resident, the opportunity to further introduce the area’s unique real estate offerings to a global audience waswhat drew me to Engel & Völkers Lake Tahoe,” says Chador, Managing Director of Engel & Völkers Lake Tahoe. “With its renowned level of service and true global network, Engel & Völkers provides the support system necessary to best serve the increasingly international network of premier buyers and sellers drawn to the area.”
