What to check

  • HOA dues. They started from about $37 a month in The Willows and vary by community. Your lender counts them.
  • Home age. Summerlin homes were built from 1996, so inspect the roof, air conditioning and water heater during the due diligence period, usually 10 days in Nevada.
  • Anything an appraisal or inspection might raise, so there are no surprises late.

The steps

  1. Pre-approval with your VA lender.
  2. Nevada's Duties Owed disclosure and a buyer broker agreement with us, explained first.
  3. Touring Summerlin homes in your range.
  4. An offer with earnest money, typically $5,000 or 1% of the price, held by escrow, and realistic appraisal and loan dates.
  5. The due diligence period, then escrow and title to closing.
