How To Buy A Las Vegas Home
How to buy a home in Hills Las Vegas
Buying a home can be stressful. Once you understand the process and have the right team in place it does not have to be. Following these steps will help insure you do not miss the opportunity to purchase a home in Las Vegas by not being prepared.
Step 1: Hire a top real estate agent in Las Vegas
Statistics show people who are buying or selling a home work with the first agent they meet more times than not. It is our recommendation that you meet with at least three real estate agents prior to making a commitment to working with one. The difference between working with a seasoned real estate professional and an amateur could cost you thousands and jeopardize one of the largest financial investments of your life. At the Jamie Cox Group we have an entire team of professionals working to help you accomplish your goals. Our team consists of a lead listing agent, two buyer's specialist, and two transaction coordinators who take care of all of the paperwork and logistics. The best part is that as a home buyer our representation comes at no cost to you. Call us today at 702-482-7799 to schedule a private consultation.
Step 2: Pre-Qualify With A Reputable Lender
A common mistake home buyers make is they simply stop by the branch of the local bank where they keep their checking and savings accounts to get a home loan. Although this isn't always an issue, it's important to note that larger banks usually have very strict guidelines. Many local lenders have much more flexibility, typically resulting in home buyers obtaining favorable terms and better service. Many home buyer's skip this very important step and simply begin their home search without a solid plan. All to often we see home buyers miss out on the home of their dreams because while they were getting qualified for a loan someone else who was more prepared purchased it right out from under them. Don't make that mistake. Get pre-qualified BEFORE you begin looking at homes.
A lender we recommend in Las Vegas is Lisa Czajka with Evergreen Home Loans. Lisa can be reached at 702-900-3955. She is not only one of the best lenders in Las Vegas, she consistently delivers and her natural ability to make people comfortable by explaining all of the details in a way that can actually be understood is unmatched.
Step 3: Pick a Las Vegas Community or area
Las Vegas offers a variety of communities to fit just about any lifestyle. Here is a short list of the larger communities you may want to consider.
