My Real Estate experience began 2 decades ago while creating engineering layouts and floor plans for home builders in the Las Vegas, Henderson, and Pahrump areas.

I liked helping people with the design process of their homes and seeing their dreams realized. As a Realtor for over 7 years I get to see some of the same amazing homes and architecture through a new lens as I help guide my clients through the buying or selling process to achieve those same dreams of owning real estate!

Raving Reviews

If you are looking for a realtor who is kind, friendly, knowledgeable and willing to help you find the right place to live, work, vacation or invest Gustavo is your man. Gustavo is all I mentioned and more. He not only helps but he goes the extra mile to make you comfortable and he does it without pressure. He has amazing contacts for other service professionals and he is great at getting the information you need when he himself can’t provide it. I will always go to him for my real estate needs and I am recommending my friends, family and all I know looking as well.

I just bought my first home, and I can’t say enough great things about Gustavo and his team! From the very beginning, they made the entire process so much less intimidating for a first-time buyer. They explained every step clearly, walked me through all the paperwork, and always answered my questions (sometimes late at night!) without ever making me feel rushed or pressured. What really stood out was how knowledgeable they are about programs for VA buyers and first-time buyers. They connected me with the right resources and made sure I was taking advantage of benefits I didn’t even know existed. Communication was fast, professional, and friendly. I never felt like “just another client.” They truly cared about helping me find the right home, not just any home. I highly recommend them to anyone — whether you’re buying your first place.

We can't recommend Gustavo highly enough! As a buyer's agent, he was very responsive by email and text, addressing our questions and requests in real time. We are new to Las Vegas, and his exceptional local knowledge was sincerely appreciated. Frequently, when we asked about a property for the first time, he had an existing relationship with the seller's agent and was able to get us valueable information about the property fast. Gustavo saved us time visiting houses that were not right for our unique requirements and steered us towards our best options. He utilized his great network of quality local service provides to connect us to inspectors, handymen, etc, during and after the buying process. He ensured our close was fast and easy with great communication with the sellers. Gustavo was patient and professional from start to finish, and we are grateful to have worked with him!

My husband and I can’t recommend Gustavo enough! We originally found him through Zillow in the summer of 2024 when we wanted to check out a house but weren’t totally sure if we were ready to buy or sell. He never pressured us or bombarded us with calls—he just answered our questions, gave us space, and let us move at our own pace. When we finally decided to move forward with both buying and selling at the same time, we called him up, and he made sure everything lined up perfectly. He kept us informed on all the key dates and deadlines, making sure we could sell our home and move into our new one without any issues. He was always on top of things, super responsive, and made sure we never felt lost in the process. Buying and selling at the same time can be stressful, but Gustavo made it feel easy. We’re so glad we worked with him! If you’re looking for a real estate agent who’s knowledgeable, reliable, and actually listens to what you need, he’s your guy!

My husband and I just bought our first home, and Gustavo was incredible throughout the whole process! I knew as soon as we met him that I felt completely comfortable buying a home through him. Gustavo was extremely friendly and engaging throughout our whole experience. He never left us without answers and was always fast to respond to us. He drove out from Vegas on several occasions to view homes with us, and to view our current home several times which was super appreciated! Anytime a situation arose that we were unsure of, he was quick to assist us and find a solution. I wouldn’t have chose anyone else as our realtor, and I will recommend Gustavo to anyone buying a home! :)

I want to let all know that read this review that my experience was exceptional. Gustavo is the best realtor I have ever had the experience to work with, ever. I moved recently from California to Las vegas. Gustavo had my back all the way with the home I purchased. He is truly a realtor that informs, protects his clients and has an attention to details that is impressive. With all that being said, Gustavo is trustworthy beyond approach, and yes, with out hesitation I would recommend him to all my family and friends. He made the buying process safe and worry free. A really big deal when buying a home. Exceptional realtor.

Gustavo did an outstanding job with helping us to buy a condo. From the very beginning there was no any push toward purchase. Instead of that he was patiently sending other listings until it met our expectations. We really appreciate his dedication, commitment and professionalism.

Gustavo was an excellent realtor who helped understand me and my families needs. Gustavo is understanding and helped out in multiple ways in regarding our home purchase and renovation. if I had any questions, Gustavo would find the answer and provide us with any additional information. I worked with many different realtors in the past and saw over 100 homes in the valley, but Gustavo was number one. l will continue to work with the Gustavo for all of my future property and home purchases.

Loyalty

This custom presentation that I’ve shared with you is an example of the care and effort I put into each of my best clients. I recognize that real estate transactions are one of the largest financial transactions of your life and it deserves careful consideration and wise planning. In light of this, you should feel strongly that mutual respect and understanding are key components of hiring me to help you accomplish real results starting right away.

Reviewing each other’s roles and responsibilities as we embark on the next steps together is how we can decide if we are ready to move forward together.

Processes

1

Consultation

We’ll sit down together and help you determine your needs wants and goals while offering my personal industry expertise and strategies for bringing your vision to life.
Image

2

Pre-Approval

Getting pre-approved will help you know exactly what you can afford so you can confidently focus on the right homes. Plus, it shows sellers you’re serious, giving you an edge when making an offer.
Image

3

Property tours

After you have reviewed and selected which homes you want to tour, we get to go shopping! This is where you can start figuring out what you really want in your new home.
Image

4

Write offer

Once we find the home of your dreams, we'll submit an official offer - including but not limited to sale price, inspection contingencies, and closing costs. The seller then has time to accept, reject, or counter your offer.
Image

5

Under Contract or Escrow

With your offer accepted, we enter a 30-day Escrow period. This involves a neutral third party company that holds funds while conducting a thorough underwriting process to ensure all aspects of the contract are upheld properly
Image

6

Appraisal

The appraisal is ordered by your lender to protect their investment. They have their own checklist of things they look at for the final approval to move forward. The appraiser can demand repairs completed by the seller before they will give their approval.
Image

7

Inspections

Now that you've found your home we need to order the inspection. The inspection will let you know what repairs are needed, some are minor and some may be safety issues. Don't worry, you are still protected.
Image

8

Closing

Congratulations! You now own a home and can get moved in. It's time to celebrate and have your housewarming and show off your home. We will be standing by to answer any questions you may have about home-ownership and have a list of contractors if the need arises.
