A real estate agent is a professional salesperson, one who sells a particular product and/or service, in this case real estate. Not all real estate agents are REALTORS®--which is a member of the National Association of REALTORS®. REALTORS® subscribe to a particular code of ethics and are held accountable for any alleged violation of those ethics as well as standards of performance, which in many cases goes beyond state law.

Kenneth and Debra are proud to be members in good standing of both the Nevada Association of REALTORS® as well as the National Association of REALTORS®. In short, we are professionals.

  2. We have the ability to obtain the most reasonable, and at times the highest, fair market value, for your house;
  3. We have the ability to sell your house in a reasonable amount of time;

We provide due diligence during the evaluation of the property: various home inspections, dry rot, asbestos, mold, faulty structure, roof condition, septic tank and well tests—just to name a few. We will assist you in finding qualified responsible professionals to do most of these inspections and provide you with written reports;
