For more than 30 years, Gavin Ernstone has been selling real estate in Las Vegas, starting as a casino dealer at Caesars Palace and building Simply Vegas into the valley's dominant luxury brokerage. In this free ebook, he shares the approach he actually uses with buyers: how to vet an agent at the luxury level, how off-market deals really work, and what three decades of watching this market reinvent itself has taught him. No sales pitch, just what he wishes every serious buyer already knew.
Why transaction count is the wrong number to ask about, what credentials actually signal, and why a national brand doesn't vet the agent standing behind it.
An inside look at pocket listings in Las Vegas: why the best properties are never publicly marketed, and how buyers can tell whether an agent genuinely has off-market access.
A practical breakdown of when new construction wins in Las Vegas, when an established resale community makes more sense, and why this city offers buyers a choice most luxury markets don't.
What the tax savings actually require to hold up, including what a defensible Nevada residency file looks like and where relocating buyers most often get it wrong.
The discovery-first approach behind every transaction: understanding a client's real needs before showing a single property, and why every deal gets treated the same way regardless of size.
