Here's how to find your Las Vegas home fast!

First, choose the neighborhood. That $168,000 5-bedroom house you found on-line sounds enticing but you'll find it's way on the wrong side of the tracks.

Consider the three boxes below. All of your housing requirements fall into one of these three boxes.

PRICE

LOCATION

HOUSE

PRICE questions include:

How much down payment do I need?
What are the closing costs?
What is the asking price of the house?
What are the homeowner fees?
What would my monthly payment be?

Here are some typical LOCATION questions:

Is this a good neighborhood?
How long of a commute is it to my work?
How are the schools?
What is the climate (inland vs. coastal)?
How much land (city vs. rural)?

Then there are requirements about the HOUSE itself:

How many bedrooms and baths does it have?
How many square feet?
Is it one or two story?
Does it have the amenities I want (air conditioning, pool, etc.)?
When was the house built?

OK, now here's the point:

You can have any two boxes you want, but you probably can't have all three.

Sometimes when I hear what people want and for what price, I have to tell them it's impossible! Something has to give, either the house or the location or the price.

You see, if money is no object, you can have whatever house you want, wherever you want it.

But that's not true for most of us. We have to decide which it more important between price, location and house.

When you can say "This is the kind of house I want, and this price, now tell me where I can get it."

Or,

you can say "I want to live in this area because (fill in the blank), now find me the best house you can for my price.",

then you're ready to go house hunting.

Once you decide whether the house or the location is most important, the search becomes very manageable. With our computers we can select the properties that match what you're looking for, and most likely see them all in one day.
