Pool, Spa, Tennis Court, Outdoor BBQ Pit, and so much more!!! $1,499,990 Looking for a new home in Las Vegas? ALWAYS TAKE YOUR OWN AGENT !! You've decided that you want to look at new homes around Las Vegas. So you grab the Sunday paper with its handy reference map, jump into your car and start driving around the city looking at the new home tracts, right? WRONG!!! This is a common mistake that could cost you thousands of dollars and a lot of peace of mind! Unless you are a contractor in Las Vegas, it is unlikely that you will know the builders as we do. New home or resale, you should always have your own agent - it costs you NOTHING! But you must take your own agent with you on your first visit into the new homes sales office. • We know each builder's quality . Not only do we see those beautiful professionally decorated models, we know whose workmanship lasts through time. • We know which builders are the most cooperative when it comes to making changes on your new home. • We know who has the best customer service if there is a problem. Even new construction can have minor defects which will remain undiscovered until you've lived in the home a while. A builder who comes in and makes these corrections promptly is priceless! • If there are any special buyer incentives we will know about them first ! The Las Vegas new homes builders actually advertise to real estate agents because they want us to show you their homes. But if you come into the development by yourself, they have no need to offer you an incentive. And the tract agents work for the builder. They won't mention any special promotions if they don't have to. • We will look over all contracts before you sign them and make sure there are no "red flags" in them. • We will help you obtain the best financing . Quite often the new home builders will offer an incentive of $500 to $5,000 if you use "their" lender. Depending on the interest rate charged and other "garbage fees" put into the loan, this may or may not be lower than what you may find elsewhere. • We will assist you with lot selection . Location is crucial and we know how to pick the best lots. • We will recommend professional home inspectors to check out the structure before we close escrow, and we will be there to do your final walk-through with the builder. We know what is acceptable workmanship and what is not. • We will also save you lots of time . We have a complete database of all the new homes in the Las Vegas and their floor plans! We can eliminate unwanted features without driving all over the valley! And you get all this help for free! The builder, by law , cannot sell the home any cheaper to you if you come in without your own agent. But if you do, the tract may refuse to allow you to bring back your own agent later. So resist the impulse to "shop" without us, we're there to help you and we can save you money when you are buying a new home in Las Vegas!

But landowners have other choices for the use of their wide-open spaces, even in a slow economy. The 2004 Statewide Land Trust Conference hopes to offer a few more conservation-friendly options for open lands. Common Ground, Gaining Ground: Tools for Shaping the Texas Landscape on Feb. 27-28 in Austin will offer participants training for land conservation, networking opportunities and meetings with state and federal agencies. Carolyn Vogel, with the Texas Land Trust Council at the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, encourages attorneys, appraisers, private landowners, and those involved in land trusts to attend. Vogel said when land is passed down through a family, it often is split up through fences or partitions, which can harm the natural movement of wildlife. Sometimes the inherited property is too small to live off of, and parcels are sold off. Development affects water quality and the ecosystem. “A lot of landowners feel they are backed against a wall,” Vogel said. “The only thing they can do is sell since the land can no longer support them. Texas loses more farmland every year, (about 283 square mile), than any other state in the country.” Landowners, their advisors and the conservation community will come together at the 2004 conference to learn about the range of assistance available to them. This includes technical and financial assistance programs and potential tax incentives. These tax incentives will be discussed as part of an all-day conservation easement workshop on Friday, Feb 27. Another topic will be a recent study by the American Farmland Trust and Texas A&M University called Texas Rural Lands: Trends and Conservation Implications for the 21 st Century. A session and workshop will discuss findings about how and why open land is disappearing and what the future may look like. Continuing education credits in several fields are pending. Early registration by Feb. 6 is $65 for Texas Land Trust Council members and $85 for non-members. After that date, the fee is $100.
