Buying a Las Vegas Home

Understanding The Process
Buying a Las Vegas home in the present real estate climate can be a demanding experience. The Las Vegas real estate market is in transformation. Homes that once sold for around $250,000 only two years ago are now selling at approximately 1999 prices. New home builders have begun to lower their prices in a number of Las Vegas developements.

The most important part of a home purchase is a good and open communication between buyer and real estate agent. In selecting me, we will develop good and open communications with each other. The best part is my services are FREE , whether you purchase a new home, resale, condo or foreclosure.

As agents, we all use the same sources of information such as the Las Vegas Multiple Listing Service. The idea that, working with several agents at a time will uncover your dream home is not really true.

The following are some things to keep in mind before you start to look.

Mortgage Loans: Unless you plan to pay cash for the purchase of a home, you will need to qualify for a home loan. This is most important in today's market, especially if you are seeking to purchase a foreclosure or short sale. Lending institutions now have strict guidelines. For more information see Home Loans

Location: For many people, the location of the home is their most important consideration. Keep in mind what is important to you.

Do you need to be in a particular school district, or close to a job?

Size: How many bedrooms and baths do you require? Try to estimate your requirements for at least the next five years.

Special features: Do you need wheelchair accessibility? Fireplace? Large yard? Cul-de-sac location?

Selecting A Property: Your job is to make the final selection of the right property for you. I can assist you in the selection process by providing objective information about each property.

As your buyer’s agent I will be able to tell you whether the home features you desire are available for the sales price you are qualified to pay, and will work diligently to help you find a house that fulfills your wish list. However, it is usually a good idea to rank the items on your list and be able to settle on some major features that you require and that fall within your budget.

The experience of buying a Las Vegas home can be thoroughly enjoyable if you and I work together as a COOPERATIVE TEAM.
