Emma Hays

For Emma Hays, “doing the right thing” is at the core of who she is. Known for her personable, steady-hand nature, she keeps clients’ best interests top of mind while negotiating the best price and terms on their behalf.

A Bay Area native, Emma spent summers and winters in Tahoe City, watching and learning from her grandfather, a seasoned real estate investor. It’s no surprise she chose to continue the family real estate tradition of serving buyers, sellers, and investors with luxury service — always.

Emma’s passion for in-depth research, eye for detail, and transparent communication make her an obvious choice for your next purchase or sale. “I’m passionate about exceeding expectations and take pride in seeing clients’ goals become reality. I actively listen and seek creative solutions to foster seamless transactions.”

From Napa to Carmel, Hillsborough to Lake Tahoe, Emma’s multi-generational California family roots make her a rich source of knowledge for resort purchases, relocating to Reno, or investing in a family legacy estate. She is empathetic and a strategic negotiator.

While her award-winning career began in St. Louis, Missouri, the Sierra Mountains called her back home where she continues to deliver client service that often results in lasting friendships. And when the need arises, she partners with Sotheby’s International Relocation Service, confidently referring clients for international or extended domestic representation.

Emma enjoys the Tahoe lifestyle: beach days, tennis, skiing, and hiking. Did we mention she makes the best chili west of the Mississippi?
