Gary Brand, Lake Tahoe's Waterfront Broker
PROFESSIONAL HISTORY
Gary Brand graduated from St. Mary’s College of California in 1964 with a degree in philosophy and economics…a far stretch from his cattle ranching upbringing. On a bet, he applied for and passed his real estate exam. In ’67 he was recruited by Dillingham Corporation the developer of Tahoe Keys for a position in sales. Rising to the top in production his first year, he became involved in sales training. Subsequently he was named general sales manager for Tahoe Keys, then Dillingham’s Director of Sales for all Pacific Coast recreational developments.
In 1976, upon completion of all projects, Dillingham assisted Gary Brand in establishing Timberline Properties a Lake Tahoe real estate brokerage with offices on the California and Nevada South Shore. Approached by Prudential Real Estate Affiliates in February 1989 his company was awarded the first Prudential franchise in Nevada and the 34th in California. His professional circle was completed in July 1996 when Gary stepped down from ownership and management to return to sales…and within six months to top 1% nationally in production.
