Flood Zones!
| Think
it Doesn't Flood Here? |

When you live in the desert the one thing you probably
figure you won't have to worry about is flooding...right? Well, not in Las
Vegas. True, we don't get much rain. However when it does rain for more
than an hour or so, it can create havoc throughout the city. If you don't
believe me, check out some of the old photos of Caesars Palace parking lot!
One of the most important questions you should ask before buying: Is the
property located in a flood zone? New home builders are suppose to disclose
this to all perspective buyers, but I've seen some who do not...that is
until the day of closing when you are reading through your closing costs
and come upon that flood insurance fee...OUCH!
The flood zones are clearly marked and one can receive confirmation
in writing from the City of Las Vegas or Clark County by fax. I provide
this service as a part of the contract when an offer is written AND we
provide the written confirmation to my clients
