Several years ago, a home listed for sale developed a stigma if it didn’t sell within a month or two. Today, many sellers have homes listed that have been on the market for six months or longer. In fact, it’s so commonplace for it to take a significant time to sell a house that it is no longer a disgrace if a listing doesn’t sell right away.

Mountain’s Edge celebrates the history of the area, and it was the goal to design a park that not only captures that spirit of the Southwest, but also brings to our city unique and exciting amenities like the Western Theme Park and the city’s first mountain park.

The building facades are inspired by early days of settlement in the West, but built at a child’s perspective. Behind the building facades are climbing structures, slides and other equipment.

Adjoining Main street is an darea celebrating the region’s American Indian history and an area where children can participate in mock archeological digs.

Mountain’s Edge has created a Junior Explorer Program disigned to be an educatioal scavenger hunt, where each child can learn about he history of the area and, ultimately, earn a Mountain’s Edge Junior Explorer badge.

Throughout the park, children can search for replicas of animals found int he desert environment.

Children learn the best when they are having fun.

Exploration Peak rises 2,846 feet at the community’s entrance and offers a series of hiking trails, ranging from the leisurely to more challenging hikes.

But, occasionally residential real estate transactions don’t work out as planned.

The buyers move into their new home, become chummy with a neighbor who tells them something about their new home, or the neighborhood, that they think should have been disclosed to them at a point in the transaction when they still had a chance to decide whether or not to proceed.

What should the buyers do next if they think they have been deceived by the seller or the seller’s agent?

First step, determine if, in fact, they were misled.

Many states, including Nevada, have seller disclosure requirements that call for sellers to disclose known material facts to the buyers. A material fact is something that would affect the buyerrs’ decision to buy or the price they would pay.

It’s not uncommon for buyers to overlook items in the sellers’ disclosure that don’t seem to be a problem at the time they make an offer. Later, they may not recall that the item was pointed out to them in advance. In this case, the buyers would have only thmselves to blame for not completing their due diligence inspections before going ahead with the transaction.

Check the seller’s disclosures before jumping to a conclusion.

Some sellers, however, are less than candid with their disclosures. For whatever reason, often fear or ignorance, they don’t disclose something that could affect the buyer’s decisions.

Omitting a disclosure can have serious consequences!

Our TEAM will make sure that every stone is turned over so we don’t run into problems after the transaction has been completed.

Call today, to make sure that every one of your interests are taken care of. 702-561-9562.
