Doug Flynn – Truckee Tahoe MLS Realtor
Why Truckee
Doug Flynn has been consistently a top producing realtor—Top 50 in Sales—in the Sierra Tahoe-Truckee MLS for over 15 years, and a member of the Truckee Tahoe community since 1992.
Doug and his wife, Erin, are family real estate business partners who have lived together in Truckee since 1998. In a quirk of serendipity, Erin and Doug originally met in Squaw Valley, now Palisades, working together at High Camp Food & Beverage.
When Doug was growing up in Sarasota, FL and attending Florida State University on a golf scholarship, he transferred to the University of Central Florida, continued to play golf, and later graduated in Business Administration. He considers himself leprechaun lucky to work with his wife, live in the best of all places, and to love what they both do as their life’s work.
Never able to do anything halfway, Doug believes that if you are going to do something, it has to be done right. His love of the Truckee-Tahoe area, its activities and its people, drives his passion for living in such a bucolic setting. What started as a quest to live a life of skiing winters and outdoorsy summers has evolved into being a successful business operator, an active community member, and a homeowner and parent.
Erin Kelly Flynn is from Palos Verdes, CA where she attended Palos Verdes High School and ran cross country and track. She chose Cal Poly University for college to continue her distance running prowess but discovered she preferred to run just for herself better. It has always been her passion. There she earned a food science degree and is forever a Mustang!
Honored to Serve You
Whether it is researching or preparing properties, the Flynns are nimble with every aspect of the industry. Doug focuses on the people, researching properties and negotiating, and prides himself on being prepared for every search or sale. Often working in the background, Erin specializes in escrow and vendor management, with a keen eye for spotting and staging properties. She relishes seeing every market segment of real estate comparing finishes, generations, trends and seeing different styles of homes. She understands the bones of homes. Erin knows exactly how to stage them for sales.
Family and Community First
Doug and Erin also have two Truckee born children, son Ethan and daughter Ryan. Ethan is a sophomore scholarship golfer at Gonzaga University, where he recently set Gonzaga’s tournament low-scoring record of 64. Ryan is also a sophomore scholarship golfer, but at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, named the WAC Freshman of the Year in 2023. In high school, both played four years of varsity basketball for Truckee HS. Ryan was the starting point guard for the 2019 Girls 3A Nevada High School Champions, while Ethan is the all-time leading scorer for his Wolverine five. As a younger athlete Ryan ski raced in Tahoe League and Far West before basketball later stole her interest. Doug always loved attending those ski races, and these days the whole family are avid skiers when time allows…well except for Erin, who is getting a bit choosy about her ski days recently!
When not working Doug and Erin are golf members of Schaffer’s Mill Golf Club and especially enjoy their club in summer—some of it playing the Schaffer’s course and some of it watching or caddying for Ethan and Ryan at summer golf tournaments. In the winter Doug cherishes his afternoon hours skiing on KT. Little known fact: Doug never skied before his arrival in Tahoe in the Winter of 1992. He enjoyed his days wearing out Papoose and the Big Easy. The question that seems to be of most debate is how long it took him to graduate from those runs.
