Lisa Carr Smith

While on vacation from Little Rock, AR in San Francisco in 89' with her husband David, they were unlucky enough to get caught in the massive earthquake which put Bay Bridge in the Pacific. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as David and Lisa rented a car and drove out to Tahoe. It was love at first sight. The next few years consisted of packing and unpacking, and touring all Tahoe had to offer during vacations; then they found Tori Long & NorthStar Mountain.

Queue the next chapter, her husband David and Lisa became founding members of the Tahoe Mountain Club and owners in the village. Their family found their home; her husband mentioned multiple times this was his dream. Their dreams together were cut short by David's fatal heart attack, he loved this place immensely and they can still feel his presence. Queue today, Lisa now affectionately refers to her Southern Babies as 'Mountain Rats,' because her children love visiting so frequently. She now works with Tori, the fantastic agent who introduced her to NorthStar, to showcase this beautiful community to future families. Throughout her life, NorthStar and Tahoe has remained the one constant chapter, and she does not intend to turn the page anytime soon.

Lisa focuses on what she has lived and what she knows: second-home buyers. Her family purchased a second home in Tahoe in the early 2000s and view it as one of the best decisions she has ever made. Fast forward to today, she is a top agent within NorthStar for volume and transaction, so Lisa knows this area better than anyone. It is not just a financial decision; it is a lifestyle decision.
