Buying & Selling

Las Vegas Real Estate FAQ

How is my home's value determined?

Maritza personally reviews recent comparable sales, active competition, your home's features and current buyer demand, then shares a clear pricing strategy, not an automated estimate.

Do you work with buyers relocating from California?

Yes. Maritza began her career in Palm Desert in 2006 and understands both markets, including the advantage of Nevada's lack of a state income tax (see the Nevada Department of Taxation).

Which luxury communities do you specialize in?

The Ridges, Red Rock Country Club, MacDonald Highlands, Summerlin, Lake Las Vegas, Southern Highlands, Ascaya and the luxury high-rises along the Las Vegas Strip.

Can you help me buy a second home or investment property?

Absolutely. As the founder of A-List Vacation Homes, Maritza has first-hand experience with second homes, investment properties and short-term rentals.

What should I know before buying a high-rise condo on the Strip?

Each building has its own HOA fees, amenities, rental rules and approval process. Maritza walks you through the differences between buildings so you can choose the one that fits how you plan to use the home.

How do you market a luxury listing?

Professional photography and video, targeted luxury mailers, social media campaigns and broad online exposure, combined with careful pricing and discreet, personal communication throughout the sale.

Can I tour homes privately or virtually?

Yes. Maritza arranges private showings around your schedule and can provide live video tours for out-of-town buyers.

How do I get alerts when new homes are listed?

Create a free account on any search page and save your search. You will receive an email whenever a new listing or price change matches your criteria.

What are the typical closing costs in Las Vegas?

Closing costs depend on the price, loan type and how costs are negotiated between buyer and seller. Your lender and title company will provide estimates, and Maritza will review them with you.

Do you offer property management?

Yes, through A-List Vacation Homes, Maritza's short-term rental and property management company.

Is now a good time to buy a home in Las Vegas?

It depends on your goals, timeline and the segment you are shopping in. Luxury homes, high-rises and entry-level homes often move differently. Maritza can review current inventory, prices and days on market for the areas you are considering.

What is the difference between Las Vegas and Henderson?

Henderson is a separate city southeast of Las Vegas with its own services and a reputation for well-planned neighborhoods. Both offer luxury communities, and many buyers compare MacDonald Highlands and Ascaya in Henderson with The Ridges and Red Rock Country Club in Summerlin.

Are property taxes high in Las Vegas?

Nevada property taxes are generally moderate, and annual increases on a primary residence are capped by state law. Your title company and the Clark County Assessor can confirm the figures for a specific home.

Can I rent out my Las Vegas home as a short-term rental?

Short-term rental rules differ between the City of Las Vegas, Henderson and unincorporated Clark County, and many HOAs prohibit them. A-List Vacation Homes reviews licensing and HOA rules for your property before you list.

How much do I need to sell my home?

Sellers typically pay agent commissions as negotiated in the listing agreement, title and escrow fees, and any agreed repairs or credits. Maritza provides an estimated net sheet before you list so there are no surprises.

Do I need a lender before I start looking at homes?

It is a good idea. A pre-approval shows sellers you are ready, clarifies your budget and helps you move quickly when the right home appears. Maritza can recommend trusted local lenders.
