A market is easier to read when someone has been reading it for you.
Cody Capps works with buyers and relocating households across Reno and Northern Nevada. His practice is less about listings and more about judgment — which streets hold value, which new communities are worth the drive, and what a price actually buys here.
Reno, Sparks, and the Sierra foothills — one market, studied closely.
Built around people arriving from somewhere else, with everything that implies.

Reno is not one place.
The valley reads differently street by street — old brick under mature trees in one direction, pine-shaded mountain lots in another, brand-new neighborhoods on the southern edge. A first look at four of them, with the kind of note Cody would give you in the car.

Also worth a conversation: Sparks, Old Southwest, Caughlin Ranch, Arrowcreek, Spanish Springs.
Moving here is more than finding a house.
It is a commute you haven't driven, a winter you haven't lived through, a school boundary you haven't checked. Cody's process starts with the move — and treats the house as the last decision, not the first.

Orientation
A first conversation about why you're moving, when, and what daily life needs to look like. No listings yet.
Area Narrowing
Neighborhoods matched to commute, budget, and temperament — then walked, driven, and reconsidered together.
The Purchase
Timing the sale of a home elsewhere, buying from out of state, negotiating, inspections, and closing with clarity.
Local knowledge is only valuable when it's clear.
Cody Capps helps buyers make sense of Reno before they make a move—combining local market knowledge, responsive communication, and a step-by-step approach to buying in Northern Nevada.

The Reno Move
Calm is a professional skill.
Cody Capps is a Reno-based real estate professional with RE/MAX Professionals, guiding buyers and relocating households across Reno, Sparks, and the wider Northern Nevada market.
His practice is built around relocation first — helping out-of-state buyers read the region before they commit — with a secondary emphasis on clear, patient guidance for first-time and move-up buyers who want the process explained rather than rushed.
The work is plain-spoken: understand the move before the house, say what a neighborhood is and isn't, and keep every step legible from the first call to the closing table.

New market. First purchase.
Or simply a lot of questions.
Good. Ask them.
First-time buyers and first-time-in-Nevada buyers have the same advantage: nothing is assumed. Cody treats every question as a reasonable one — inspections, appraisals, earnest money, HOA fine print, what "as-is" actually means here — and answers in plain language.
The goal is not to move fast. It's to move once, well.
First-time buyer guideReal questions, answered plainly.
The things people actually type into a search bar at eleven at night — answered the way Cody would across a table.
Neither city is universally better. Compare specific Reno and Sparks addresses using your daily routes, the home and lot, construction era, nearby development, municipal services, association obligations, and total ownership considerations. Protected characteristics should never drive an agent's recommendation.
