Lainie is absolutely correct about finding one savvy Realtor, or two for
significantly different areas, and sticking with him/her (them?). As a 22-year
Realtor in Michigan, I can tell you that we can always figure out if a buyer is
"playing the field" on us, and the best deals and nicest offerings are
presented to our loyal clients first.

Bettie gives some really excellent advice. I may have been a little flip
yesterday, but I was trying to say the same thing when I made the make-up
comment. You need to figure out what's important to you, and then match up the
community that best meets your needs. It's especially nice that there are
several excellent choices in the LV valley.Regardless, you should find a realtor that you feel comfortable working
with, preferably one who has been in town for many years, and you may want one
for Summerlin and a different one for Henderson. There are some pricey
properties being built in undesireable areas, and a savvy realtor can help you
navigate the waters. For example, (and I don't know if the project was cancelled)
there were condos being built "Summerlin Adj" just blocks away from a bad part
of North Las Vegas. Another example is that there are homes being built in
the valley on the site of a former toxic waste dump (which was cleaned up, but
you never know...)I hope this helps.
