Working with Julia

How Julia works with buyers

Buying well is about more than finding a home you like. Julia helps you understand value, competition, and the terms that matter before you write the offer.

  • A shortlist that fits. She narrows the valley by your budget, commute, kind of home, HOA costs and the amenities you care about.
  • Tours that show the whole picture. She walks homes with you, in person or on live video, and shows you what the listing photos leave out.
  • Offer strategy. She helps you weigh pricing, competition, inspections and terms, with judgment built from 650+ closed transactions.
  • One point of contact. She keeps the lender, inspector, title team and key deadlines on track until closing.

She works with you directly and answers her own phone: (702) 499-4100.

Why experience matters

Count the sales, not the years

Some agents close only a few sales a year, so even 15 years in the business can add up to fewer homes than you’d think. Julia has worked full time as a Realtor for the past 14 years and has closed 650+ transactions. That kind of experience doesn’t come any other way.

It shows in the moments that cost buyers money when they’re missed: knowing what a home is really worth, spotting what the listing photos leave out, and writing an offer that wins without overpaying.

A newer agent can cost you money while they learn. Before you choose anyone, ask how many sales they closed last year.

How buying works

From first call to keys

  1. 1

    Talk, then get pre-approved

    Tell Julia what you need, where you’ll commute and what you want to spend. Then get pre-approved by a lender, so you know your price range before you tour.

  2. 2

    Tour and compare

    Julia sets up showings, in person or on live video, and points out what photos miss: road noise, a sloped yard, power lines behind the fence.

  3. 3

    Offer and negotiate

    Julia helps you weigh price, competition, inspections and terms, then writes your offer and negotiates it with the seller’s agent.

  4. 4

    Inspect, appraise, close

    Once the seller accepts, the inspection, appraisal and loan approval follow the dates in your contract. Julia keeps everyone on those deadlines through the final walkthrough.

Before you make an offer

Six Las Vegas details buyers trip on

Each one is easy to check before you make an offer, and hard to change once you own the home.

  1. HOA and master-plan dues

    A home can belong to two associations, one for the whole master plan and one for its neighborhood, and each can charge dues. At Las Vegas Country Club, the master association says homes in a sub-association pay both.

    Ask for: Every association the home belongs to, the current dues for each, the budget and reserves, and any pending special assessment.

  2. SID and LID assessments

    Some areas carry a special improvement district (SID) or local improvement district (LID) assessment. It pays for public work such as streets and sewer lines, and it is separate from HOA dues.

    Ask for: Whether the address has one, the amount, what’s left to pay and when it ends. Add it to your monthly budget yourself.

  3. New construction or resale

    A new build is usually sold on the builder’s own contract, and the model home often shows upgrades. A resale comes with a history you can check.

    Ask for: On a new build, what the base price includes and which model features cost extra. On a resale, permits for additions, pools and patio covers, and the seller’s disclosures. Get your own inspection either way.

  4. Leased or financed solar

    Solar panels can be owned outright, financed or leased. If they’re leased or financed, the agreement and its monthly payment may have to be transferred to you.

    Ask for: The solar agreement, the monthly payment, the years left and the provider’s transfer steps. Share them with your lender early.

  5. Gated or guard-gated

    A gate doesn’t always come with a guard, even inside one community. City of Henderson records list Presidio, Renaissance and The Estates at Seven Hills as guard-gated, and sections such as Capistrano and Naples simply as gated.

    Ask for: The guest and vendor rules, how movers and deliveries get in, and how showings are arranged.

  6. Desert yards and design rules

    If the home is in an association, its rules can cover what you change outside, the yard included. In Los Prados, the association’s Architectural Control Committee reviews exterior alterations.

    Ask for: The design guidelines and approval steps before you plan a pool, patio cover or new landscaping, plus records for changes the seller already made.

Very knowledgeable, great experience. Quick to respond. Was able to negotiate all requested repair items completed very quickly. Had her own specialty contractors complete most repairs instead of relying on only the seller.

Buyer questions

Questions buyers ask Julia

Can we talk before I’m ready to buy?

Yes. If your move is still months out, that’s the best time to call. Julia answers her own phone at (702) 499-4100, or you can write to her from the contact page.

Do I need a pre-approval before I look at homes?

It’s the best place to start. A lender’s pre-approval tells you your price range and shows a seller that your offer has financing behind it. Talk to a licensed lender about your loan options, and use the payment calculator to plan a monthly budget first.

Will my monthly payment include HOA dues and special assessments?

Not always. HOA dues may be paid separately from your lender payment. The payment calculator includes the dues you enter but leaves out special assessments, utilities and maintenance, so add those to your budget yourself.

Which part of the valley should I look in?

Start with your commute, your budget and the kind of home you want. The community guides cover 20 areas, from Summerlin and Henderson to North Las Vegas, and Julia can narrow them down with you.

Can I buy and sell at the same time?

Yes. Julia works with people buying, selling, or doing both. Tell her the timing you need for each, and read how she helps sellers.

Can Julia help with a move from out of state?

Yes. Julia walks homes with you on live video and handles the details here until closing, including inspections and walkthroughs. She’s a Military Relocation Professional (MRP). Start with the relocation page.
