FAQs
What is a Disclosure Package?
The Disclosure Package is a crucial document that you should read and comprehend before submitting an offer. I provide all my clients with a customized guide on how to navigate disclosures. Additionally, I carefully review each package and send detailed notes to my clients before we draft any offer.
Do you have access to off-market properties?
There are numerous sources for properties that may not yet be available to the public. By working with me and Simple Vegas, you’ll gain access to all “Coming Soon” listings, whether on or off the MLS, as well as properties I’ve learned about through word of mouth. Additionally, you’ll have access to Private Exclusive properties, which are exclusively available to Simple Vegas agents and their clients.
What is Contingency?
A contingency is a clause that buyers include in a contract when making an offer on a home, allowing them to withdraw from the purchase if specific conditions are not met. The three primary contingencies are Loan, Appraisal, and Investigation. Without these contingencies, buyers may risk losing their earnest money deposit if they choose not to proceed with the purchase after making an offer. Removing contingencies shifts the risk from the seller to the buyer. In competitive, multiple-bid situations in Vegas, it’s common for buyers to eliminate all contingencies to strengthen their offers against others.
What is Escrow?
Escrow refers to a neutral third party that facilitates a real estate transaction by holding funds and property “in escrow” until both parties agree that all conditions for closing the sale have been fulfilled. Your escrow officer will manage your contract deposit, handle all prorations, including property taxes and HOA fees, and oversee the signing of bank and closing documents when the time arrives. In Vegas, the buyer is responsible for paying Title and Escrow fees.
Do I need a Pre-Approval Letter?
Typically, this is the first step before you start viewing homes. Having the right lender on your team can significantly impact your deal. In the competitive Las Vegas market, working with a local, reputable lender that your agent knows and trusts will enhance the strength of your offer. After considering the price, the listing agent will first look at the lender’s credentials. It’s essential to choose someone with a solid reputation for closing deals on time and without complications, including appraisal issues. I have several outstanding lenders I can recommend to you.
How do I make an Offer?
In Las Vegas, we submit an offer by preparing a purchase agreement (contract) and sending it to the listing agent. Before we submit your offer, I will guide you through the contract line-by-line, ensuring you understand all clauses, sections, and contingencies involved.
Do you work with first time buyers?
I have a special place in my heart for first-time homebuyers, and I take my role as your advisor very seriously. There are many aspects of the process that you may not even realize you don’t know, and I’m committed to supporting you every step of the way. I am incredibly patient and will always work on your timeline, ensuring you feel comfortable and informed throughout your journey.
What if I sell my current home in order to buy?
It’s not uncommon to find yourself in this situation, and we will discuss your options together. With the right lender, there are often strategies that allow you to buy before you sell.
Can you recommend painters or designers
I maintain a trusted list of vendors that I work with regularly, and I can recommend someone who aligns perfectly with your criteria, budget, and timeline.
What's the difference a condo and a TIC?
A TIC (Tenancy in Common) is a type of ownership where you own a percentage of the entire building, granting you the right to occupy your specific unit. TIC properties typically have a market value that’s about 10% lower than condos, making them an excellent option if you’re looking to enter Vegas market. However, TIC ownership requires a specialized lender who understands this type of arrangement—there are currently around eight lenders who offer financing for TIC properties. While the rates may be slightly higher than those for conventional condos or single-family homes, the ownership and resale process is essentially the same as that of a condo.
How much is Closing Cost?
As a general rule, you should expect to pay about 1% or less of your purchase price in closing costs. For example, if you buy a home for $1 million, it’s wise to budget around $10,000 for out-of-pocket closing costs. These costs typically include bank fees, title and escrow fees, prorated property taxes, and homeowner’s insurance.
How much are Property Taxes?
In Las Vegas, property taxes are indeed reassessed with every resale or major remodel, and the average tax rate is approximately 1.2% of the property’s assessed value. However, it’s important to note that property taxes can vary based on the specific location within the county, local tax rates, and any exemptions that may apply. If you need more precise information, consulting a local real estate professional or the Clark County Assessor’s Office would be beneficial.
