Questions to Ask Before You Hire

Local track record: “How many closings have you had in my neighborhood in the last year?” Ask for addresses and outcomes.

Neighborhood expertise: “Which areas do you know best?” Look for deep familiarity with schools, amenities, and commute patterns across Henderson, Las Vegas, and Paradise.

Capacity & communication: “How quickly do you respond? Who handles showings, marketing, and contract-to-close?”

Proof of performance: “What’s your list-to-sale price ratio and average days on market for homes like mine?”

Seller Checklist: Las Vegas Listing Questions

Pricing framework: “Which comps are you using, and why?” Ask for a net sheet and scenario planning.

Listing prep: “What should I do in week 1 to get market-ready?” Look for a prioritized plan (repairs, staging, curb appeal).

Marketing plan: “Beyond MLS, what is your media + distribution?” Expect pro photos/video, property websites, email, and targeted digital campaigns.

Showings & feedback: “How will you drive traffic and summarize buyer feedback each week?”

Negotiation: “What’s your strategy for multiple offers, repairs, and appraisal gaps?”

Timeline control: “How will you keep us on track from offer to closing?”

Buyer Checklist: Las Vegas Homebuyer Questions

Readiness: “What lender options fit my goals, and how do we strengthen my pre-approval?”

Acquisition strategy: “How do we compete in multiple-offer situations?” Look for tactics in terms of timing, contingencies, and other relevant factors.

Due diligence: “How will we handle inspections and repair requests?”

New construction: “How do you protect buyers with builder contracts and timelines?”

Red Flags to Watch For

• Vague pricing advice with no comps or net sheet.
  
  
• “List it and pray” marketing (no media plan, weak follow-up).
  
  
• Slow replies during your interview, expect the same during escrow.
  
  
• Overpromising without a step-by-step plan or timeline.
