When you want to rent or buy or sell real estate you go to an expert in the area - right? Well you have come to the right place.  I have lived at Lake Tahoe nearly all my life. I grew up here and have been renting, and selling real estate since 1977.

My goals - I will find buyers the right home for them and will provide world class service before, during and after the sale. For sellers, I will get them the most money the market will bear, in the shortest amount of time and with the least amount of inconvenience.

To accomplish these goals I will utilize the latest technological tools combined with personal service. 

My interests include Snow and Water Skiing, Mountain Biking, Golf, Tennis, Sailing and raising two great kids (okay I'm a bit biased)!

There are many ways to look at all Lake Tahoe has to offer—all of them thrilling. And that’s exactly how Russ Baruh views this majestic corner of the Sierras.

Russ slows to a stop and removes his goggles, looking down he sees the wide expanse of Lake Tahoe below him. It’s lunchtime—Tahoe style—and he is making a run down the slope in a wintertime ritual that he wouldn’t trade for the world. With every path he carves in the fresh snow he remembers his first journey down this mountain—an unforgettable series of spectacular spills—as his father took him down the slopes prior to the 1960 Olympics.

And though his journey down the mountain has ended he is thankful—not just because he has completed the run without the aid of a stretcher—but because he knows there is more—much more to the Tahoe lifestyle that he loves so much. Life seems to have come a full circle as he spends time with his family in Tahoe, fishing from a small pier that extends from the lake’s shoreline, or guiding his children down the same slopes first introduced to him by his father. “Being here reminds you everyday what life is all about,” he says. “It’s like a dream, being able to live and raise a family here—you wonder if you’re going to wake up, but then you stand on Eagle Rock and look down over the lake and the snow-capped eastern slope and know this is no dream.”

For someone so in love with the community and natural surroundings, it’s no surprise that he would make a career out of his love for the Tahoe area. As one of the area’s leading real estate professionals, Russ’ views on this great lifestyle as well as his unique perspective on its real estate market is helping his clients fulfill their dreams in this exclusive area. Listening to his clients and their needs, he can bring the unique perspective needed for success when purchasing an investment property, or selling other premium Tahoe properties.

Not only are Tahoe’s surroundings one of a kind, but so is the local real estate market. With over 25 years selling Tahoe dreams, Russ knows how to help his clients get the most from their important investment. With experience as a Broker/Owner he has the resources to concentrate on your needs, so if you can’t call Tahoe home 365 days a year, he can help you turn your home into a revenue generating rental property.

Whatever your real estate needs, you can rely on Russ Baruh to bring you the expertise, marketing knowledge and investment property knowledge to make your Tahoe home sale or purchase the success that you deserve. With Russ you’ll not only find the discovery of all that Tahoe has to offer thrilling, but you’ll also Discover the Thrill of Tahoe.

Our longest-standing Tahoe local, Susan has been with HRG since 1988 when there was only 1 computer and no website.  Devoted but still fun-loving, Susan enjoys sharing her adventurous stories of growing up in North Lake Tahoe with her sister Monica who manages the Cobblestone Center, and brother Ulf, who supervises the landscaping and snow-removal.  Susan wakes up often before the crack of dawn to run with her dog Bella, skate-ski at the Nordic Center, mountain bike through Page Meadows, or skin up Rubicon Peak and ski down with her husband Jim, a local electrician.  She throws fabulous dinner parties and loves entertaining.  Always planning something fun, Susan keeps the pulse of the office in "make it happen" mode.  She keeps the bank balanced, and the office operational.

Jesse moved to Lake Tahoe from New Jersey in the winter of 2006/2007. Originally for the snowboarding, he quickly realized that the Tahoe summers were equally amazing. When he isn’t chilling on the beach or shredding Squaw Valley he is playing baseball for the Tahoe Twins.  Jesse's favorite place to eat is New Moon's Uncommon Kitchen in Tahoe City.  Let him teach you how to snowboard in the winter or catch one of his ballgames in the summer!

Jessica has lived in Lake Tahoe for the better part of twelve years.  Originally from Minnesota, she is an avid hiker and Minnesota Twins fan.  In the winter you'll find her out snowboarding, snowshoeing, or cross-country skiing.  If you have any questions about the outdoors, Jessica's the one to ask!

Danielle moved to Tahoe, sight-unseen, 48 hours after graduating from Loyola University in Chicago. Having grown up in Santa Cruz, she knew she’d feel back at home in CA, and has enjoyed the beauty of the Sierras since summer 2005! Joining the team at Hauserman was a blessing in the Fall of 2006, as the Rental Groupies continue to be her main reason for staying in the mountains. Aside from working, she mostly takes pleasure in the live music and entertainment of the local and surrounding areas, but also kayaks or swims in the lake every day during the summer (and goes boating as often as possible), does yoga year-round, and finally got into XC skiing and snow-shoeing (but will never turn down a snowmobile ride)! Danielle loves the North and West Shores of Tahoe, but lives in Truckee and spends quality time at Donner Lake on her days off. Most rewarding easy hike? Eagle Rock on the West Shore. Favorite breakfast spot? Firesign Café in Tahoe Park. But she most enjoys the nightlife of downtown Tahoe City, with newly renovated Fat Cat Cafe, brand new wine bar called CorkScrews in the Cobblestone Center, and Syds Bagelry by Heritage Plaza. Wanting some travel advice? Ask Danielle- she knows her way around!

Justin relocated to Tahoe from Cool, CA. He left his whitewater rafting for the higher elevation to improve his snowboarding skills, and joined Hauserman in the winter of 2007/2008. When he is not busy finding you vacation rentals, ski leases and long term rentals, you can find him dropping 60 foot cliffs or doing skateboard tricks at a local park. His favorite place to eat in the area is Yoshimi's Sushi in Incline Village; he highly recommends it if you like Sushi!  He also suggests you join him for Monday Night Football at Lanza's for their Roma Garlic Chips.  Shred Northstar or go rafting or golfing or disc-golfing or kayaking or swimming or just grab a bite to eat with him on his days off!
