Craig Zager is one of Lake Tahoe Nevada’s leading luxury real estate agents, specializing in the East Shore communities of Zephyr Cove, Glenbrook, Stateline, and Incline Village. A Lake Tahoe resident since 1979 and a Realtor since 1989, Craig has built his career around local expertise, long-standing client relationships, and a deep understanding of the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe.
With more than $1.5 billion in closed sales, 1,500+ client transactions, and recognition as Coldwell Banker’s #1 agent in Nevada for more than 16 years, Craig brings a proven record to buyers and sellers navigating one of the country’s most specialized luxury real estate markets.
Craig specializes in Lake Tahoe, Nevada real estate, with deep experience throughout the East Shore, including Zephyr Cove, Stateline and Glenbrook.
These communities are highly specific. Property values can be shaped by lake access, views, privacy, HOA amenities, buoys, beach rights, setting, condition, redevelopment potential, and long-term ownership appeal. A home in Glenbrook may be valued differently from a home in Zephyr Cove, Skyland, Marla Bay, Cave Rock, or Incline Village, even when the square footage appears similar.
For buyers and sellers, Craig’s value comes from more than market data. His decades of local experience help clients understand the differences between each East Shore community and make informed decisions in a market where details matter.
Craig’s sales record reflects decades of consistent performance in Lake Tahoe Nevada real estate, particularly across the East Shore luxury market.
Craig’s professional designations reflect a long-standing commitment to residential real estate, luxury home marketing, resort and second-home property expertise, and ongoing industry education.
Craig and The Zager Group have consistently ranked among the top-producing real estate teams in Lake Tahoe, Nevada.
Lake Tahoe real estate is not one market. The Nevada side of the lake includes distinct communities, each with its own pricing patterns, buyer demand, lifestyle appeal, and property considerations.
On the East Shore, value is influenced by more than bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage. Lake access, views, privacy, elevation, sun exposure, snow conditions, HOA amenities, beach rights, buoys, pier access, redevelopment potential, rental considerations, and long-term resale value can all affect how a property should be evaluated and positioned.
Craig’s long-standing East Shore experience helps clients understand those differences before making decisions. Whether representing a lakefront estate, a ski condo, a second home, or a long-term Tahoe residence, Craig brings the local perspective needed to navigate this highly specific market with clarity and confidence.
Craig and The Zager Group represent buyers and sellers throughout Lake Tahoe Nevada, with particular expertise across the East Shore. Communities served include:
Each community offers a different version of Tahoe living. Some are known for lakefront estates and private beach access. Others offer proximity to skiing, trails, marinas, restaurants, casinos, or everyday conveniences. Craig helps buyers and sellers understand how these differences affect value, lifestyle, and long-term ownership.
Lake Tahoe’s luxury market often involves more than a traditional home purchase or sale. Many clients are evaluating lifestyle, family legacy, tax considerations, investment value, second-home use, vacation access, and long-term ownership goals.
Craig’s background as a former Certified Financial Advisor, along with his experience in securities, insurance, and mortgages, gives clients a broader perspective when evaluating real estate as both a personal and financial decision. His professional designations in residential, luxury, resort, and second-home real estate further support his ability to guide clients through the unique considerations of the Tahoe market.
In 2020, Craig founded The Zager Group, creating a team-based approach designed to provide clients with experienced guidance, market knowledge, and concierge-style service throughout every stage of the buying or selling process.
The Zager Group has since been recognized three times in four years as Nevada’s #1 small team by RealTrends. The team represents clients across Lake Tahoe, Nevada, with a focus on luxury homes, lakefront properties, East Shore communities, and distinctive Tahoe real estate opportunities.
Backed by Coldwell Banker’s global luxury network and a worldwide presence in 40 countries, Craig and The Zager Group offer both local expertise and broad market exposure for clients buying or selling in Lake Tahoe.
Craig’s connection to Lake Tahoe extends beyond real estate. After relocating from Los Angeles following high school, his passion for the outdoors and the Tahoe lifestyle became the foundation of his career.
Today, Craig remains deeply engaged in the community, supporting local charities, advocating for the preservation of Lake Tahoe’s environment and lifestyle, and enjoying the same outdoor activities that continue to draw buyers to the area. His long-standing involvement gives clients a perspective rooted not only in sales history, but in decades of living and working in Lake Tahoe.
