About Dashel Mills Distinctive Properties and Our Team

Client-First Philosophy

There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of our boutique company, Dashel Mills.

That said, in our experience as a Truckee and North Lake Tahoe real estate professional, we've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting our clients first. This means keeping ourselves accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.

This "client first" philosophy has always been our approach and it requires us to continually improve our skills and ways of doing business. In addition, we've found that the latest technologies are enabling us to do everything we've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped us to extend the range of services we provide to our clients.

So when you decide that you'd like to buy or sell a home in the Truckee or North Lake Tahoe area, please contact us at 530-587-7098.  We would be honored to interview for the position of your real estate firm.

 

Our Sales Team

A real estate company's most valuable asset is its sales team.  Our team has comprehensive market knowledge, skill in managing the transaction process, finesse in negotiating and an understanding of market strategies. They set the standard for real estate professionalism! It takes more than a yard sign or a published listing to sell a house. And it takes more than “just a real estate agent” to help you navigate the complex process of buying a home! We pride ourselves on being open, friendly, approachable – and very savvy about Truckee and North Lake Tahoe. Our dedication to the finest personal service is the reason satisfied buyers and sellers continue to call on and refer their friends to Dashel Mills Distinctive Properties.  Working together as a team we can provide personal service exceeding the expectations of our clients and the public.

Dashel Mills' Broker-Associate Jeff Cutler is a North Tahoe "local" who has lived in the area since the mid-1980's. He is a property owner himself in Tahoe, and is also a born and raised Northern Californian whose family were vacation homowners in Tahoe--so he knows and understands what it is like to have a family Tahoe 'ski cabin'.

His undergraduate B.A. in Environmental Studies with Honors was earned from the University of California Santa Barbara in 1986; and, after being a Profession Ski Patroller at Squaw Valley for several years, he later attended the University of Oregon School of Law where he earned his J.D. before returning to Tahoe in 1995 as an attorney.

Jeff is the founder of Dreamslice International, a fractional real estate Brokerage and Consultancy which helps clients buy, sell and create shared ownership vacation homes; and he has also worked as a professor at Sierra Nevada Community College, as the Assistant Director of the League to Save Lake Tahoe, and as Conservation Director and Staff Counsel for the Truckee Donner Land Trust (TDLT).

He has keenly followed property transactions and value changes throughout the Tahoe-Truckee region for many years, and is eager to help both Buyers and Sellers throughout the Truckee/North Tahoe region.
