What Sets Gemme Group Apart?
David doesn’t just market the lifestyle—he lives it. With a background in construction and development, he brings uncommon value to clients planning to build, remodel, or invest. His knowledge of permitting, design, and land use gives buyers and sellers a serious edge.
Outside of real estate, David and his team share a passion for Tahoe’s mountains and wild spaces. In winter, Olympic Valley is home base—where David offers insight rooted in decades of skiing, community engagement, and historical knowledge. In summer, you’ll find him on Tahoe’s trail systems, riding for miles and reconnecting with the land.
Earlier in life, David built a reputation as a bold climber and mountaineer. He’s summited peaks across the Sierra Nevada, bringing the same focus and grit to the business of real estate. That deep connection to the terrain is what sets him apart—and what helps clients find not just a house, but a way of life.
