ABOUT THE HOST
The founder and host of The Tahoe Real Estate Insider and Co-Founder of MortgageUpside.com, the #1 mortgage team in Incline Village, NV, Shay has spent the past eight years living, working, and building relationships in the Lake Tahoe community. His mission is to help people make confident, informed decisions when buying property in one of the most desirable markets in the country.
Through The Tahoe Real Estate Insider, Shay sits down with top local Realtors, builders, and financial professionals to provide listeners with a clear, insider view of the Lake Tahoe real estate market — from market trends and neighborhood insights to smart financing strategies.
When he’s not helping clients finance their dream homes or recording new episodes, you’ll find Shay out on the lake, on the slopes, or exploring Tahoe’s endless trails — living the very lifestyle he helps others invest in.
