Why You Need a Realtor for New Construction in Las Vegas

When you walk into a builder’s sales office, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement — model homes are designed to wow you. But what many buyers don’t realize is that the sales rep you meet there works for the builder, not for you. Their contract is written to protect the builder’s interests, not yours.

That’s where I come in. Here’s how having me as your Realtor during a new construction purchase protects you — and how I can actually save you money, stress, and time.

1. Negotiating Value Beyond the Sticker Price

Statistically, buyers who have their own Realtor on a new build often walk away with better purchase terms. That can mean:

• A more competitive purchase price

• Closing cost incentives

• Or upgraded finishes included in the deal

I know what builders are offering in the Las Vegas market and where there’s room to negotiate. I’m not afraid to advocate for you so you don’t leave value on the table.

2. Breaking Down Builder Contracts

Builder contracts are long, full of fine print, and heavily tilted to protect the builder. My job is to walk you through the terms so you feel clear on what you’re signing. Being knowledgeable with these contracts also allow for your experienced real estate agent to add any necessary addendums to further protect you.

3. Upgrades in Lieu of Repairs

In some cases, a homebuyer may not find it necessary to make all repairs, especially when it can be a cumbersom repair to the Builder. I help clients negotiate for upgrades in lieu of repairs. For example, epoxy garage floors, or an appliance package rather than settling for a patch job. It’s about turning potential negatives into lasting value.

4. Holding Builders Accountable to Performance Standards

In Nevada, builders owe you certain performance standards — from how the home is constructed to how materials should perform. Most buyers aren’t even aware of these protections, but I am. I can help you hold the builder accountable if your home doesn’t meet those expectations.

Bottom Line: My Role Is to Be Your Advocate

New construction is exciting, but it’s also complex. My role as your Realtor is to balance that excitement with protection, clarity, and negotiation. I want you to walk away not just with a brand-new home, but with the confidence that you made a smart investment and got the most out of the process.

If you’re exploring new construction homes in Las Vegas, I’d love to guide you through it. You’ll get my bubbly energy, efficient follow-through, and the reassurance that someone is firmly in your corner.
