  • "Kenny assisted us in closing on our dream property where we plan to build our forever home. There were a few roadblocks along the way that Kenny helped us navigate. We are so happy with the outcome!"

    -Mike Evans-

  • "Kenny was perfect for our search for a home in Truckee. He was great at finding homes that fit our criteria, gave insightful advice during offer and negotiation, and was extremely communicative throughout the process. He also went above and beyond by personally helping move furniture and shovel snow to make sure our move-in was as smooth as possible. Couldn’t have asked for more from an agent!"

    -Basil & Rory-

  • "My wife and I are new to the area, and needed someone who is an expert in the area we were buying. Kenny welcomed us with open arms and showed us the neighborhood. He accommodated all our requests which made the home buying experience so much easier. He made us feel like we are working with a friend rather than just a business partner."

    -The Park Family-

  • "Kenny Rutledge made our buying process easy and smooth! His guidance and help were very much appreciated. He was knowledgeable, helpful and made this process incredibly easy. We cannot say enough great things about him and his fantastic communication!"

Taking A Different 

Approach To Real Estate.

I’ve spent over a decade living, working, and exploring North Lake Tahoe, and that experience shapes how I approach real estate every day. From quiet lakefront retreats to modern mountain homes in Truckee, each pocket of this region has its own rhythm, and I’ve made it a priority to know them all.

As a Compass Real Estate agent, I combine deep local knowledge with the tools and technology of one of the nation’s leading brokerages. My goal isn’t just to help you buy or sell. It’s to guide you toward a home, a neighborhood, and a lifestyle that truly fit.

Real estate in Tahoe is personal. I’m here to offer clarity, honest advice, and a no-pressure process built on trust. Whether you’re searching for your first foothold in the region or selling a legacy property, I’ll help you move forward with confidence.
