Your Team
I opened Ormsby Real Estate in 2002 after working at Hooper Real Estate for six years with a true Tahoe real estate legend, my friend and mentor Gordy Hooper. My wife, Roxie, and I began working together in 2006, when she joined me from Chase International Real Estate (where she was the company’s top producer). Together, we bring over 30 years of professional experience to our family-owned company, Ormsby Real Estate.

Bob Ormsby
As a Tahoe native and lifelong resident, Bob knows the terrain. In 1963, when Bob was just weeks old, the Ormsby family moved to Tahoe City from the Bay Area. Bob went on to graduate from North Tahoe High School, then from Sierra Nevada College in Incline, Nevada, with a BA in business administration. He’s also traveled the world as a member of the U.S. National and Olympic ski teams. With his deep understanding of the Tahoe real estate landscape and his familiarity with the characteristics of the local neighborhoods, Bob has the knowledge and expertise to help you find your perfect home. He also has extensive contacts in the local business community, including carpenters, electricians, landscapers, flooring specialists, tree professionals, boat mechanics, painters, spa technicians, and more. Developed through years of personal experience, those relationships will help you get the most out of your life in Tahoe.
