Buying a home is one of the biggest purchases you will make in your lifetime. Whether you're buying your first home, your dream home or an investment property, it’s a big decision. Before you make the move, be sure you have one of our qualified real estate professionals helping you every step of the way. We know the Las Vegas/Henderson real estate market and we'll educate you throughout the home buying process. We work with a host of real estate experts including mortgage lenders and inspectors.

1.    Research Areas. When looking at areas of interest take into consideration your job and commute time, school district, distance from loved ones and any other factors that are important to you.

2.    Check Your Credit. Since you are likely to need a mortgage to buy a house, make sure your credit history is as clean as possible. Ask for a copy of your credit report and correct any inaccuracies before you begin house hunting.

3.    Calculate your Income. Aim for a house you can afford. The rule of thumb is that you can pay for a house that is two-and-one-half times your annual salary. Getting pre-approved by a lender will ensure that you are looking at houses in the right price range.

4.    Hire a Professional. You can use the internet to find real estate agents in your area. Also, it is best to ask for recommendations from people who have used agents when buying their home. Ask them what their experience was like and if they would use the same agent again. Interview several agents before determining the one you want to work with.

5.    Do your Homework. When making an offer on a house, your opening bid should be based on the sales trend of other homes in the neighborhood. Use a Comparable Market Analysis of homes sold in the last three months. If homes are selling five percent below the asking price, then make your offer five to ten percent below the listing price.

6.    Hire a Property Inspector. Once your offer is accepted, you should hire a qualified home inspector to perform an inspection. After completion you will be informed of any costly repairs that the property may need.

The Home Selling Process

Selling your home is a big decision, so it’s important to work with an agent who guides you throughout the process. We know what matters when getting your home sold: price, how it’s presented, and how it's marketed.

When you choose to work with us, you're getting transparency and instant communication throughout the entire process. We customize property marketing strategies to target where buyers are looking - both online and in person.

1.    Prepare the Home. Although you have many memories in your home, try to see the house as a product to be marketed. De-clutter the home so the home shows at its best.

2.    Hire a Professional. Interview several agents and compare background, experience, personality, commission, suggested list price as well as anything else you value in a professional. 

3.    Familiarize Yourself on How to Price Your Home. Some things to consider when determining the price of your home: total square footage, floor plan, construction quality, condition, amenities, lot size, topography, view, landscaping, location and market conditions. Visit local open houses and compare the houses to your own as objectively as possible. Ask your agent for a Comparable Market Analysis.

4.    Develop an Effective Marketing Plan. Work with your agent to determine the most valuable places to advertise. Ask your agent to put a for-sale sign on the property, input the property in the Multiple Listings Service, create flyers as well as advertise on their website and in local newspapers and real estate magazines.
