Who should you hire to list your home? When you’re looking to sell your home in Henderson or Las Vegas, there are a few things to remember when selecting an agent, especially since there are 16,000 agents to choose from.
- Inquire about a free home market analysis. This report should be comprehensive and detailed, similar to what you might receive from an appraiser. This should help determine your home’s value, in addition to an aggressive market price.
- Ask about advertising. What will this listing agent do to sell your home? We pay thousands per month to recruit buyers to our website and of course, our featured listings. Although this is a major investment, it has the potential to draw in significantly more buyers than without it. Additionally, it increases the likelihood for buyers to sell their home at their preferred price within their preferred timeline.

- Use professional photography. For every listing, we hire a professional photographer to capture every angle of your home and highlight its best features. Photos taken with your iPhone won’t suffice.
- Look at the strongest financing options in your offers. Of course, you want to go under contract with someone most likely to close. That’s why cash buyers are oftentimes the most appealing. A closing with a financed offer typically takes between 30 and 45 days. However, with cash, it can take under two weeks.
- Screen your buyers. Pick the buyer with the least amount of problems. This helps you avoid headaches later on in the transaction.
- Check final closing costs are similar to those in the beginning. After the 10-day due diligence period, the buyer conducts a series of inspections. You will provide a Seller’s Property Disclosure, access to the property, and other information to the buyer during this time. During the closing period, we’ll review a settlement statement and make sure to requote the initial costs estimated at the beginning. This should be the same or much less, so check on those numbers.
I hope this provides some insight on what it’s like to list in the surrounding area. If you’re thinking about buying or selling a home, reach out by phone or email. I’d be happy to help serve your local real estate needs!
