Your Step-by-Step Guide to Buying a Home in Las Vegas
Watch this quick video to understand how we guide buyers from start to finish.
The Home Buying Process
-
Knowing your budget upfront makes the process faster and stronger when you submit an offer.
Connect with local lenders who understand the Las Vegas market.
Get a clear picture of your monthly payment, taxes, and HOA fees.
In this market, pre-approval is your ticket to being taken seriously by sellers.
-
We help you narrow down neighborhoods that match your lifestyle, commute, and budget.
Access MLS listings updated in real-time.
Filter homes by HOA fees, SID/LID balances, pools, or other must-haves.
Learn about new construction vs resale options to see what fits best.
-
No wasted time on overpriced listings or bad fits.
Schedule private showings at times that work for you.
Get insight on pricing trends and neighborhood comps.
We flag things most buyers miss: tax rates, HOA rules, future development nearby.
-
This is where experience counts.
We write offers backed by real-time comps and seller motivation.
Expect counteroffers—it’s normal. We guide you on how high to go and when to walk away.
In new construction, this could mean negotiating upgrades or incentives instead of price.
-
This is your window to investigate.
You’ll typically have 10 calendar days to do inspections and cancel if needed.
We schedule home inspection first, and see if the home inspector advise on if further inspections are needed.
Your lender will order the appraisal—we’ll track timelines so you don’t miss a deadline.
-
We’ll advise you on a smart game plan across your different options .
We review the inspection reports together.
You can request repairs, seller credits, or a price reduction.
We help prioritize what matters—safety, major systems, or dealbreakers.
Tip: Sellers may be more open to credits than repairs—it speeds up the closing.
-
Don’t get caught off guard by the fine print.
If the home is in an HOA, you’ll receive CC&Rs, budgets, meeting notes, and rules.
We help you review restrictions, fees, and upcoming assessments.
Look for pet restrictions, rental rules, and parking policies—especially important for investors.
Tip: You have a 5-day right of rescission once HOA docs are delivered.
-
Make sure everything’s as agreed.
We’ll walk the property with you right before closing.
Confirm repairs were made, appliances are in place, no damage occurred.
If it’s a new build, we’ll also review builder punch list items with you.
-
Time to sign and celebrate.
You’ll sign loan docs (in person or via mobile notary), wire funds, and we’ll confirm closing.
Once it records with the county, you officially own the home.
We’ll hand off the keys, and stay available for anything post-move.
