What’s your next move?
Buying
First home or fifth, we start with a fifteen-minute call and a lender I trust. You’ll know what you can do before you fall for anything.
How it goes
- i.A fifteen-minute call: what you want, what you can spend, what’s realistic here.
- ii.Pre-approval — no obligation, usually same day — and a short list of neighborhoods that fit.
- iii.Tours on your schedule. The house and the street.
- iv.An offer that wins without overpaying. Inspections and negotiation, handled.
- v.Keys. And a text from me on move-in day.
Did you know: Nevada has no state income tax, and the property-tax increase on your primary home is capped at 3% a year once you file a one-page claim with the county. I’ll remind you.
Selling
Real comps, honest prep advice, and negotiation that treats your equity like it’s mine.
How it goes
- i.A walk-through and an honest number — real comps from the MLS, not an algorithm.
- ii.A prep list: what’s worth doing before photos, and what isn’t.
- iii.Photos, drone, and a launch on the MLS and through the Peyton network.
- iv.Offers, negotiation, and an escrow I manage so you don’t have to.
- v.Closed. Then I help you find the next one, if there is one.
Investing
Numbers first. Then we tour.
How it goes
- i.Goals and the math: rent, taxes, HOA, insurance, and what a deal needs to pencil.
- ii.The right market for the plan — long-term in Reno–Sparks or the Valley, short-term at the Lake, with the rules that actually apply.
- iii.On-market and off-market options through the Peyton team.
- iv.Offer, inspection, close.
- v.A property-manager referral if you want one.
I run the numbers with you. I don’t promise returns.
Not sure yet? That’s most people. Text me what you’re thinking about and we’ll figure out the rest.

What’s your home worth right now?
No algorithm. I pull real comps from the MLS for your street, walk the numbers with you, and call you back with a figure and the reasoning — usually within a day.
No spam · No drip campaign · One call from Trent
- i.You send the address.
- ii.I pull the comps that actually sold on your street and nearby, and look at what yours has that they didn’t.
- iii.I call you with a number and the reasoning behind it. No obligation.
15:10 — Afternoon on the 395 corridor
Where I work.
The 395 corridor, from the Truckee to the Lake. Under an hour to anywhere I serve.
Map is stylized and not to scale. Blue is water; you can’t buy it.
Reno–Sparks
4,505 ft
The Truckee runs right through downtown and the neighborhoods fan out from it: brick bungalows in the Old Southwest, Midtown’s walkable strip, Somersett and Caughlin Ranch on the west side against the foothills, Damonte Ranch and South Meadows to the south, and across the line in Sparks, Spanish Springs — where you can still find a big lot with a shop. My first closings were in Woodland Village, Kings Row, Panther Valley and Sparks.
Carson City
4,682 ft
The capital is smaller than people expect and better than they expect. Westside historic homes a block from the silver dome, Kings Canyon trails out the back door, Lakeview and Timberline up on the hill with the views, and Dayton twelve miles east on US-50 when the budget needs room. Tahoe is fourteen miles west.
Carson Valley · Minden, Gardnerville, Genoa
~4,700 ft
This is ranch country: single-story homes on big lots, the Ranchos, Johnson Lane, hayfields with the Carson Range straight off the back fence. Jobs Peak is the mountain in every photo from here — including mine. Genoa is where Nevada started, in 1851. South Lake Tahoe is twenty-five minutes over Kingsbury Grade.
Lake Tahoe / Incline Village
6,350 ft
The Nevada side of the lake. Pines, the IVGID beaches, Diamond Peak, and forty minutes down the Mt. Rose Highway to Reno. Owning here comes with questions — HOA and short-term-rental rules, TRPA, snow load — that matter more than the view. I’ll ask them before you fall for one.
Also: Washoe Valley — acre lots and wind between the two cities. · Dayton — Nevada’s second-oldest town, twelve miles from the capital. · Fernley — the I-80 option for TRIC and Gigafactory commutes. · Verdi — the river canyon at the California line.
