Let's add the Home Builders in Las Vegas to the list. I'm not talking about some of them or the small home builders. I'm talking about ALL of them.

1. They ALL make the home buyer sign an illegal contract under Nevada law, which limits their liability for construction defect. The potential home buyer has NO other recourse but sign the contract, or NOT buy a home. There is no negioating the contract. My attorney has said he has tried 7 times to get the legislature to act. That the Builders agree to clean up their acts, but go right back to their Bad ole practices.

2. They ALL know that a certain percentage of their homes are GOING to be defective. Yet they have made the decision to take care of the problem on the back end of the transaction, and handle it as a warranty issue. They know by handling it this way they will only have to deal with a small percentage of the defects, as most people will not take them to task.

We are not just talking about minor plumbing or electrical problems we are talking about structural and foundation problems due to expansive soil. Homes with severe problems look like bombs went off inside them. Gaps in Drywall that you could put your fist through, cracks everywhere, that practically grow while you watch them. Homes with this kind of distress are completely unsaleable. Thus your investment in the home is worthless.

The only thing that seperates the men from the boys is how well the Builder takes care of his warranty issues. That is the KEY in LV.

My attorney has grown rich off these Construction Defect cases. He owns a million dollar home in one of the prime LV neighborhoods and drives a MB G500 SUV. In my opinion he deserves every penny he makes due to the SHABBY way the Builders treat their home buyers.
