Clay Russell brings a calm but deliberate, thoughtful approach to every real estate journey. Before entering the industry, Clay spent years working as an outdoor guide in the Tahoe region, developing a deep familiarity with the mountains, lakes, trails, and communities that make this area such a special place to live. His experience leading people through challenging terrain instilled the preparation, communication, and steady leadership he now brings to helping clients navigate important real estate decisions.

As a member of Culbertson & Gray with eXp Realty, Clay works with buyers and sellers throughout the Tahoe region, helping them move through the market with clarity and confidence. He understands that for many clients, a home here is more than just property—it’s the foundation for a lifestyle centered around the outdoors in the Sierra Nevada.
When he’s not working with clients, Clay can often be found skiing, mountain biking, trail running, fly fishing, and exploring the Sierra. He takes pride in guiding people home in Tahoe.
