A 25-Year Lake Tahoe Veteran and Top-Producing Broker for Over Two Decades
David Gemme (pronounced “Gem”) is one of the most trusted and influential names in Lake Tahoe luxury real estate, representing exceptional lakefront homes, waterfront estates, golf and acreage properties, and luxury ski lodges throughout Lake Tahoe, Truckee, Reno, Martis Camp, Lahontan, Northstar, and Palisades Tahoe. With offices in Tahoe City, Incline Village, and South Reno, David offers unmatched regional coverage across all major luxury corridors of the Sierra.
Backed by the global prestige of Sotheby’s International Realty®, David delivers world-class marketing, strategic negotiation, and personalized representation to clients seeking high-value properties with meaning and intention. His specialized expertise extends into Reno’s premier luxury communities, including Arrowcreek, Montreux, and Clear Creek, where lifestyle-driven estates meet elevated desert-mountain living.
Based in Tahoe City and Incline Village, David focuses on the region’s most coveted assets: iconic Lake Tahoe waterfront estates, exclusive mountain modern retreats, legacy family compounds, and discreet off-market opportunities that rarely surface publicly. His deep market intelligence, powerful network, and intuitive understanding of premium home value make him a trusted advisor for discerning buyers, sellers, and investors across Tahoe and Northern Nevada.
David began his career designing and building lakefront homes, grounding him with rare expertise in construction, architecture, and interior design. Today, he regularly advises clients, architects, and builders on aesthetics and function, helping properties sell faster, show stronger, and live better.
Beyond real estate, David is a professional speaker and presenter for organizations including Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate and Sotheby’s International Realty®, where he trains and inspires agents around the world. His decades-long involvement in the global Sotheby’s International Realty® network gives him access to an unparalleled community of elite brokers and market specialists. This enables David to confidently guide clients relocating anywhere in the U.S. or internationally, connecting them with trusted advisors in virtually any major market worldwide.
A lifelong yogi, breath work and wellness instructor, and advocate for conscious leadership, David brings clarity and grounded presence to every interaction, something clients value deeply in high-stakes transactions. When not negotiating a lakefront deal or crafting a polished marketing campaign, he’s out skiing, mountain biking, climbing, paddling, or adventuring through the Tahoe basin.
David Gemme is more than a Real Estate Agent; he is a curator of lifestyle and legacy. With a blend of market mastery, design expertise, global reach, and conscious leadership, he helps clients step into properties and lives that are aligned, elevated, and extraordinary.
