Since marrying a local and moving up the mountain, Jared has made Truckee, in North Lake Tahoe, his home. He has actively integrated himself into the community by working as an inventory manager at the town’s only bookstore and serving in various volunteer roles within the local school system. He has also experienced firsthand the challenges involved in securing and maintaining rental housing in this sought-after tourist destination.
Like so many renters, Jared’s eventual solution was unique. He and his family moved into his wife’s childhood home, and through the savings built up by cohabitating with extended family, built an attached ADU for his father-in-law to occupy. This experience factored heavily into Jared’s decision to apply to work at Placemate.
The newest member of Placemate, Jared spends his time speaking with property owners and tenants from seasonal towns on both coasts. He’s fascinated by learning people’s stories and helping them find secure, affordable rental arrangements.
