Meet Chris Gallagher

Not just an agent.
An owner next door.

I bought a Tahoe City duplex off-market, renovated it, and turned one two-bedroom unit into a top-performing vacation rental. The numbers I share come from my own P&L, not market-average estimates.

“I’m not trying to close you. I’m trying to make sure you buy the right property, because I’ll still be your neighbor when escrow closes.”

Straight answers

Frequently asked.

Do you only work with investors?

No. The same local knowledge and pricing discipline serves full-time homes, second homes, and income properties alike.

Can you help find off-market property?

Yes. Chris maintains a proprietary database and speaks directly with owners, including long-time holders and 1031 sellers.

Where do your revenue estimates come from?

From eight years of actual operating history, including Chris’s own Tahoe City properties, rather than generic AirDNA averages.

How quickly will I hear back?

Chris reads every message personally and usually responds the same day. No intake forms and no automated responses.
