What I Love About Summerlin

Having moved to Las Vegas in 2002, I chose to reside in Summerlin, a master- planned community on the western slope of the Las Vegas valley.  I enjoy Summerlin very much – the amenities, restaurants, events and shopping.

Having grown up in the midwest, Summerlin seemed like a brand new world.  I fondly refer to it as the biosphere because you literally have everything you

Presenting my biggest staging and remodeling project to date.  We were getting this home ready to list for sale.  Since this project was in Florida, we enlisted 3 realtors to interview, get feedback and ask what they would list it for.  They all came back in the low $600,000’s and if you know me, I was bound and determined to break a record.
