Tips For Buying New Construction Homes in Las Vegas

This is perhaps the most important tip. Builder contracts are complex and favor the builder. A buyer's agent who specializes in new construction understands these contracts, knows what to negotiate, and can protect your interests—all at no additional cost to you.

As a contracted Beazer Homes agent, I have direct access to current pricing, incentives, and inventory that might not be publicly advertised. I also understand the nuances of the new construction timeline and can help you plan accordingly.

New construction typically takes 4-8 months from contract to closing. If you need to move sooner, ask about "quick move-in" homes that are already under construction or completed.

Factor this timeline into your plans, especially if you're selling a current home or have a lease ending. Delays can happen, so build some flexibility into your timeline.

Pre-approval is essential, especially for new construction. It shows the builder you're serious and helps you understand your budget. I can connect you with lenders experienced in new construction financing who understand the unique requirements.

Keep your pre-approval current (they typically expire after 60-90 days) and don't make major financial changes during the construction period.

Beazer Homes is one of the nation's largest homebuilders, known for ENERGY STAR® certified homes, energy-efficient features, and flexible floor plans. However, always research:

• Builder reputation and reviews
• Warranty coverage and process
• Quality of existing communities
• Customer service responsiveness

As your buyer's agent, I can provide honest insights about Beazer Homes communities, floor plans, and the overall building process.

Don't commit to the first community you visit. Tour multiple Beazer Homes communities to compare:

• Locations and proximity to work, schools, amenities
• Floor plans and layouts
• Community amenities and HOA information
• Lot availability and premiums
• Pricing and incentives

I can help you compare communities and identify which best fits your lifestyle and budget.

Builder upgrades can significantly impact your final price. Prioritize:

• Structural upgrades that are difficult to change later (lot size, floor plan modifications)
• Essential upgrades that affect daily living (appliances, flooring)
• Energy-efficient features that save money long-term

Consider doing cosmetic upgrades yourself after closing to save money. I can help you identify which upgrades add the most value.

Builder contracts are very different from traditional real estate contracts and heavily favor the builder. Key items to understand:

• Timeline and milestone dates
• Change order policies and costs
• Warranty coverage and exclusions
• What happens if there are delays
• Final walkthrough and inspection rights

As your buyer's agent, I thoroughly review every contract clause and ensure you understand what you're agreeing to. I can also negotiate certain terms to better protect your interests.

You'll typically have walkthroughs at key stages: framing, pre-drywall, and final walkthrough. Attend all of them and bring your buyer's agent. I'll help you:

• Identify any issues or concerns early
• Verify selected upgrades are being installed correctly
• Document everything thoroughly
• Ensure quality standards are met

New construction homes come with builder warranties, but coverage varies by component and timeframe. Understand:

• What's covered and for how long
• Warranty claim process
• What's excluded from coverage
• When to address issues (before closing vs. after)

Beazer Homes provides comprehensive warranties on their new construction homes. I'll review all warranty information with you.

Even though it's new construction, always do a final inspection before closing. I'll attend with you to ensure:

• All selected upgrades are installed correctly
• No defects or incomplete work
• Everything is clean and move-in ready
• All issues are documented and addressed before closing
