The Vegas Confidential Guide to Asking the Right Questions Before You Buy New Construction**

There’s a moment — right before someone buys a new-construction home — where excitement and overwhelm collide. You step into that perfectly staged model, the light hits just right, the smell of fresh paint is intoxicating… and suddenly your brain whispers:

“Should I just get this one?”

And this — right here — is where the savvy buyers slow down.

Where you slow down.

Where the most prepared people in the room pull out the right questions, the ones that help them see past the staging and into the true value of a home.

Welcome to Vegas Confidential: New Construction Edition, where strategy meets clarity, and where buyers who ask the right questions end up with better lots, better incentives, and far fewer regrets.

Because you deserve more than a glossy brochure and a friendly builder rep.
You deserve the truth, the nuance, and the insider advantage.

And if you’re reading this?
You’re already ahead of most buyers in the valley.

The 10 Questions Every Savvy New-Construction Buyer Should Ask

Think of these as your personal power questions — smart, essential, and the backbone of every well-informed new construction purchase.

Bring them to your tours, bring them to your consultation with me… and watch how quickly the entire process becomes clearer.

1. What incentives are available — and which ones are quietly negotiable?

In this market, a “no” often just means “you didn’t ask the right question.”

2. What’s happening in the surrounding area — today, tomorrow, and five years from now?

Grand Park’s 92-acre future, Symphony Park’s new museums and restaurants, the 215 expansion — these shape long-term value more than the model home's finishes.

3. What’s included in the base price — and what upgrades add up fast?

This is where most buyers overspend without realizing it.

4. How does this community compare to others across the valley?

Summerlin West. Henderson. Skye Canyon. Lake Las Vegas.
Each offers a very different lifestyle and investment profile.

5. Can I compare new vs. resale in the same area?

You should — and sometimes the resale option ends up being the perfect match.

6. What’s the realistic construction timeline?

Builder optimism is a language of its own. Let’s translate it.

7. What’s the builder known for?

Quality. Consistency. Warranty service.
These matter more than the marketing brochures.

8. How do HOA fees and master plans impact long-term value?

It’s not just where you buy — it’s what you buy into.

9. What inspections should I schedule — and when?

Yes, new homes need inspections.
More than you’d think.

10. And finally — what does a strong offer look like right now?

Yes, you can make an offer on a new build.
Yes, incentives are flexible.
Yes, representation changes your outcome.

Why Being Prepared Makes You a Power Player

In a fast-growing market driven by new development, preparation is your superpower.

Prepared buyers:

• Move with confidence

• Secure better incentives

• Avoid upgrade traps

• Choose better lots

• Understand long-term value

• Make decisions without second-guessing

Being unprepared is costly.
Being prepared is empowering.

Why Your Representation Matters — And Why Clients Choose Me

I’ve spent 20 years in the Las Vegas market, including years inside the builder world at Lennar. I understand how builders operate, where incentives really live, and how to position you strategically in front of the right communities — before the general public even knows what’s coming.

My clients describe working with me as:

• “Stress-free”

• “Effortless”

• “Transparent”

• “The best real estate experience we’ve ever had”

They talk about how I stay with them from dirt to keys — design sessions, structural appointments, walk-throughs, inspections… all of it.

They talk about how I show them new and resale options because making a confident decision requires seeing the full picture.

They talk about how I listen.
How I advocate.
How I protect their interests every step of the way.

In a market full of noise, you want someone who understands the strategy behind the search — not just the sales pitch.

That’s exactly what I do.
