Most Mesquite NV homes for sale were built long after 1978 when the risk of asbestos hazards and lead in paint were a consideration. The huge growth in Mesquite started in the 1990's and has continued with new home subdivisions - single family homes, townhomes and condos. These homes are not likely to have been built with any materials containing asbestos or lead paint.
But we do have many people from other areas who are relocating to Mesquite or buying a second home who possibly own older homes built prior to 1978 or remodeled with older or used materials.
If you are planning on selling that older home, the risks of asbestos or lead paint may be a concern to you.
As a new homeowner or potential seller, it is not likely that you are acquainted with the inner materials of a home. However, most buyers seek an updated home inspection before closing on a new property - better to be safe than sorry!
It is important to reassure buyers that the home is safe and does not contain any potential health hazards. Inspections are critical to clearing hurdles down the road that may slow the sale of property.
One of the most common surprises new homeowners and sellers confront is asbestos in older structures. Asbestos containing materials (ACMs) are now banned for use in the United States but many older buildings still contain these products, which are generally safe, but homeowners should be aware of where they are and when they become hazardous.
Asbestos was included in thousands of construction products and still exists in nearly 80% of homes built prior to 1978. Common asbestos materials include attic insulation, ceiling tiles, and pipe lining. Asbestos was particularly adept at insulation and prevention of temperature transfer and was used extensively until adverse health effects began to manifest in those who worked with the material frequently.
It is only when asbestos containing materials are compromised or very old that they become hazardous. Asbestos products under these conditions are rendered “friable.” Home inspection companies should be able to identify these circumstances and advise you on a course of action. When asbestos material is friable, asbestos fibers can be released into the air, potentially endangering those in the area.
Inhaled asbestos fibers lodge in the body’s inner tissue and have been conclusively linked to the rare cancer, mesothelioma, commonly referred to as asbestos cancer, in addition to many other respiratory disorders. There are few options for mesothelioma treatment or curative therapies for other conditions caused by sustained asbestos exposures. Homeowners need to be aware of potential hazards that may exist so they may be able to avoid potentially harmful effects of hazardous asbestos.
Again, most asbestos containing materials will not pose an immediate hazard and an informed buyer will not be turned off by their presence if they’re reassured of their safety by a professional opinion. These simple precautions can be taken to assure that both sides know that they and their families will be happy and healthy in their new home.

Sun City Mesquite is an active adult golf course community for 55 plus residents in Mesquite Nevada. HOA fees of $120 per month include use of all Recreation features of this popular age restricted subdivision. Pulte Del Webb has created many beautiful walking trails and parks for the use of Sun City Mesquite residents and their guests.
These walking trails and parks are situated throughout Sun City Mesquite, with views of the desert, mountains and mesas. Sun City active residents can use the paths for walking through the subdivision to Sun City Mesquite Pioneer Recreation Center. Many residents have a golf cart that they use to go the the recreation area, putting greens, tennis courts or other amenities that come with their home.
Unlike so many Nevada builders who use every available space for houses, Sun City Mesquite has preserved much of the desert landscape and rough terrain, including cactus plants, trees, gulleys and natural washes which enhance the views throughout the subdivision.
Winding through this Nevada mountain desert terrain is Sun City's own Conestoga Golf Course to be finished in fall 2009. There will be a 'soft opening' for Sun City Mesquite residents in the fall of 2009, with the grand opening to the public in early 2010. Sun City residents will get a substantial discount on golf prices and preferred tee times - that will be a big bonus to residents in our busy Mesquite golf season.

Military Relocation and Retirement Mesquite, Nv is approximately 80 miles from Nellis Air Force Base. Yet a drive to work on the base takes about the same time from Mesquite as it would from many of the areas in busy Las Vegas. I-15 is a straight shot from Mesquite to northeast Vegas. As a retirement option for military personnel, Mesquite NV is a welcome relief from the hustle and bustle of the Las Vegas area yet close enough to military facilities to take advantage of the benefits.
My son-in-law is in the military and I understand the frustrations involved with frequent relocation. My past experience as a real estate agent with an office located right outside Travis Air Force Base taught me alot about military relocation and how to prepare my clients for a move. More than half of my transactions involved VA and FHA loans. Call me if you think Mesquite, Nv is an option for you!
"I met Virginia Hepp in February during my first visit to Mesquite Nevada in search of a new home. She provided information on the housing market in Mesquite NV and the city in general. I found Virginia to be very knowledgeable and a pleasant person to talk with. Several months later my other half and I met with Virginia to begin our search for a new home in Mesquite. She spent hours with us going over what our needs were before making suggestions of homes we should view. We made several more visits to see Virginia before she found exactly what we were looking for. In between visits, Virginia provided us with email updates to keep us informed on prices, property availability and the housing market trend in Mesquite NV. Our experience with Virginia Hepp has been a very satisfying one and look forward to continuing our working relationship during the construction phase of our home."
-Richard S. -- Las Vegas, Nv
"We met Virginia in May of when we purchased a new house in Mesquite NV. Since meeting Virginia, she has been extremely helpful. She monitored the construction, kept us informed, and made sure that all of the selections we made were carried out. After the sale Virginia made sure that the few minor problems were taken care of, she has helped us in many ways, and she has become a friend. If I were to buy or sell a house in Mesquite, Nv, Virginia is the agent I would contact."
Robert and Mildred P. -- Mesquite, Nevada
"When we first met Virginia, we were driving through Mesquite NV during the 4th of July weekend. We were planning to move to Mesquite, and felt it would be a great time to look around to see available homes in the area. We attempted to contact one real estate agent listed on a sign in front of a house, but were informed that he was busy with family due to the holiday. We found another property that we wanted to look at, and attempted to call the listing agent. We were connected to Virginia Hepp, and she came right over to answer our questions and show us the home.
Since we were first-time home buyers, we had quite a few questions for Virginia. We wanted a home that we could enjoy and that was still in our price range. When we decided to make an offer on a home, we contacted Virginia. She was very helpful and took great care in walking us through the process of making an offer. With her help, we were able to purchase our first home at an excellent price. We were very pleased with the entire deal!
We are grateful for all of the help that Virginia gave us during our home buying experience. She was very patient and professional. When we choose to sell our current home and move up to a bigger one, we will definitely call Virginia!"
David and Teresa W. -- Mesquite, Nv
