We appreciated Claire's apparent transparency about the "pluses and minuses" for each home/location; and, by posing as our contracted agent, she even facilitated a viewing that we would not have been able to accomplish due to our time limitations and the site's appointment requirements. The initial experience went fairly well, and we eventually asked her to submit an offer on one of the listings. With a little back-and-forth, the offer was eventually accepted and the real work (and real issues) began.
It immediately became apparent that Claire seemed to be more interested in making her commision than ensuring that our interests/rights were preserved and fairly represented. As an example, upon receipt of an appraisal report that came in lower than the asking price (and that we all, admittedly, believed was a faulty report for many reasons), Claire failed to provide clear information regarding our options and timelines and the implications of each. Instead she continuously pushed to have the report revised while, unbeknownst to us, wasting valuable/costly time. In other words, Claire stalled long enough to make us miss a significant timeline; thereby, causing us to lose negotiating power. Also, had we not decided to move forward, the delay would've jeopardized our significant deposit (by potentially tying it up in an extended arbitration process). Again, my issue is that Claire never prioritized making sure that we were completely aware of our options and deadlines so that we could make timely decisions to protect our interests. Instead her priority seemed to be movement toward finalizing the transaction. In the end, the transaction was completed and we love our home. However, the disrespect and lack of professionalism continued... let me explain.
As context, this is the fourth home I've bought in my lifetime... the third for my husband. In all of our transactions (except this one) the agent personally welcomed us with keys and performed a "walk through," to ensure that all was well. In two of the four instances the agent placed fresh flowers and balloons in the home and later mailed gift certificates for a variety of restaurants. While my first agent did not provide flowers and balloons, she did send a nice thank you note, a gift certificate, and a bottle of wine.
Conversely, a day before I was to pick up our keys, Claire contacted me to inquire if it was OK to leave the keys with the seller's agent, "...since she lives right there." Although a "strange" request in my opinion, I consented. Then, while on the plane to LV, Claire contacted me to tell me that the agent had some "... errands to run," and, therefore, wanted to leave the key in a hidden place so I would not have to wait for her in case she was not present upon my arrival. Claire indicated that if this was a "problem," she could drive "across town" and arrange to get the key... making it clear (via her words and tone) that it would be somewhat of an imposition to do so.
In fairness, it did appear as though Claire was caught off guard with the change of plans. However, I submit that a true professional would have been present to personally greet her new owner and, at the very least, would have recovered by retrieving the keys (w/o question) once the other agent presented the problem. Instead, Claire remained comfortable and cozy at home while I was forced to dig around in a bed of rocks (in 100 + degree weather) to find the key to our new home. Needless to say, I was livid and I expressed my profound dissapointment to Claire. She responded with a lame excuse and a, seemingly, less-than-sincere apology.
I decided that I would calm down and wait a few weeks prior to deciding how best to address my profound concerns. Weeks turned into months; and life's issues, concerns, emergencies, crises, and tragedies took priority over my followup to this issue.
A couple of months ago, some friends advised that they had decided to move to LV after the pandemic; they asked for our agent's contact information. I adamantly advised that I do NOT recommend our agent, and I advised of the reasons for the recommendation. The friends thanked me profusely for the information.
We never heard another word from Claire until I recently received a "Friend Request" from her. I was appalled, offended, dismayed and dissapointed, once again.
My friends' referral request, along with Claire's apparent audacious, callous disregard for the impact that her lack of professionalism had on our experience, inspired me to finally write a review. It is my hope that it will assist others in choosing a competent agent.

Her comps are spot on, she will get that place gone.
Her pictures are the best, her team does not rest.
She negotiates like a pro, she will save you some dough!
I don’t know about you, but I didn’t have a clue, she gives it her best... just sign on the dotted line and she’ll do the rest :)

Amber was always available when needed and followed through promptly in the entire process for questions and follow up.
If you are seeking a realtor who is personable, advocate in your interests/wants, professional, and experienced, Amber is one to be referred. HIGHLY recommended. You will not regret choosing her as your realtor.
Thank you Amber for all that you did for me and my family in identifying our home.

She helped us find our dream home in Las Vegas. She is very patient and easy to work with. I bothered her on her vacation but she still answered my calls and texts at all hours of the day.
We are blessed to have been able to work with her! She definitely made our move from Hawaii easy! Thank you again Amber for all you’ve done and continue to do for us!??????

At the same time, Amber listed our condo. This was also easily accomplished. She meant with us once, initially, and then sent a professional photographer to "picture" our home in its most favorable light. Once we went "live" online, we had an offer within 24 hours.
Amber is professional and friendly. She strives to do her best with each client. She has knowledge of the city, its neighborhoods, and market trends. We had a great experience with Amber as our realtor and would highly recommend her to anyone who is interested in buying or selling a home!

I highly recommend Greg Clutters and Robert Coomer of Mann Mortgage. If you are looking for a realtor and loan officer who will work for you up to the end, these are the guys!!! Verly professional and easy to work with. We had 2 other realtors and loan officers before but we didn’t get our dream home; only when we decide to work with Greg and Robert they’re the best!!!

Greg was responsive, generous with his time, took the time to understand what I was looking for and I never felt like he was "selling" me. He always came across as only wanting my best interests met. He provided me sound advice throughout the process...I couldn't be happier! So many thanks to you, Greg!

We were buying a home sort of remotely. We live in the East coast and wanted to find a great home in a great area but were on some really horrific time lines. Since we both travel extensively in our jobs we needed to rely on an agent that was not only willing but capable of handling our special situation. Greg was right there every step of the way and even after closing continues to be such a great resource to us. he is fantastic and in my eyes the ONLY agent anyone needs in the Vegas area. Number 1 PLUS in our book!

I needed to divert funds I had at that time to the purchase of a house in Murrieta (to get it off the market, so my daughter could sell her house in Vista and buy from me the house in Murrieta).
So I could not follow through at the time with Las Vegas properties.
So no business was concluded with Jesus Lucuara.
I am near to getting my funds back from the sale of the Murrieta house.
When I do, Jesus is still my go to guy for reviewing listings in Las Vegas.

I cannot recommend Matt highly enough. He demonstrates great understanding of customer needs and keenly finds solutions. Matt provided consistent expertise from the initial home searches to final close and recording of the home that my wife and I selected. We are very pleased with our new home and we will absolutely work with Matt again on any future real estate transactions.
In my opinion, Matt Shiel would be an excellent choice as a real estate agent.
