Your Comprehensive Guide to Buying Your First Home

As a first time home buyer I was a little intimidated by the process but Lily helped me every step of the way and made my home buying quick and easy! I highly recommend her!*****

Lily Ruiz with Monticello Real Estate in Las Vegas, NV just recently helped us with the purchase of our home. She was available any time and was able to work with our crazy schedules and time differences. During our first interaction on the phone, Lily made us feel very comfortable as we were looking to relocate and had to fly in to be able to start our home search. Initially we discussed the entire house-buying process and told her about ourselves and what we were looking for. I appreciated how up front she was during that initial phone call as she told us what would be possible with our budget and what wouldn't be, she explained the ins and outs of the process. Her general attitude and approach was always Professional and she made us feel confident that she would be able to help us find the perfect home for our needs....

Continued.... Upon our first meeting in person she met us with a warm hug and her sincerity was even more evident as she had already sent us listings and recommendations of homes and was always available and quick to respond to our many, many emails, text messages and phone calls. Really, she NEVER made us feel like we were a bother; she was always upbeat cheerful and most importantly she ALWAYS returned our calls or answered our messages. She helped us narrow down our options and really figure out what we were willing to compromise on and what we weren't. We tried to research as many houses prior to her showing us homes so as to not have to look at so many houses, but Lily was already 10 steps ahead of us and would already do the same thing. Even when we went back home and had not found a home, yet we would receive listings via emails late at night when we thought she should have been resting. ...

Continued... .... Lily REALLY WORKED Hard for us. A couple of days after arriving back home, she sent us a listing that seemed to be the Perfect fit. We made the call to Lily and She was quick to respond and go over to the home and Video Record the home as she walked through. With her expertise on knowing the market she was able to negotiate the best possible deal on the purchase of the home. With her guidance, we were able to make an offer and close on our dream house within a few weeks and navigate the potentially overwhelming pile of paperwork and logistics associated with home ownership....

We couldn't have done it without her and would happily recommend her to anyone and everyone, not only for her real estate expertise, but because she is a Kind, Honest, sincere Professional and her commitment and dedication to her work shows. And I have to say again, She Really Works Hard for her Clients. She said she would find us the perfect home and She absolutely Did. She is ABSOLUTELY a PLEASURE to work with. She really listened to the feedback we gave her during each house we visited in order to narrow the search and find a home that met all our wants and needs. Overall, I have to say a great experience working with Lily and her many resources. I would highly recommend giving her a call if you are looking to buy or sell your home. We will continue to recommend LILY to all our friends and family and anyone exploring the market. -Bernie and Eddy

| 5.0 Stars 2/15/2022 - joybohlmann1 Sold a Single Family home in 2022 in Paradise, Las Vegas, NV. *Lilly is the most qualified and efficient real estate professional I have ever met. Her attention to detail and ability to coordinate the the buyer, seller, mortgage company and title company is outstanding. She was able to sell my home in three days, locate my new home and have both close within one day of each other. It just doesn't get better than that. She promptly responds to any questions or concerns and resolves any issues immediately. She is the BEST!!!***

***Lilly Ruiz is The best real estate agent I've ever dealt with. She sold my mother's house in Las Vegas when others couldn't get it done and she got the asking price. I highly recommend her***

****I don't even know where to start! I was completely new to home buying, and was very cautious of working with just anyone. We had reached out to Lilly due to her working with military (I happened to be a Veteran leveraging my VA loan/benefits). Lilly was not only extremely professional and helpful every step of the way, she also made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. We had some letdowns on multiple offers over a course of a few months in a crazy market, but in a very personable way, made us feel motivated to keep pushing ourselves to find our dream home despite the setbacks. And it was in no way in a pushy way, it was in a very experienced and empathetic way, going through the motions with us.

Continued... It was because of Lilly that we officially own, and happily live, in our beautiful new home now! Her experience really shone through, and it's nice that there was someone who cared so much about us. It was truly having a friend on the "inside" working with you, instead of just for you. She responded quickly, she was honest and forthcoming with information, very communicative, extremely proactive, and I am just so lucky that this was my experience for the first time in purchasing a home all the way across the country. She made the process of us being on different sides of the country EASY; even down to her virtual home walkthroughs she had done for us so many times. Having had experience with seeing how other agents sometimes work, especially during our home buying journey, I realized just how grateful I was for Lilly, that's for sure.

Continued ... She plays no games, has no tricks up her sleeve, and is dedicated to helping you, which comes first and foremost. I can't recommend her enough. She absolutely sets the bar for EXCELLENCE, and anyone would be extremely lucky to work with her.

Lilly was recommended to us by a couple people and believe you me she is definitely worth it. She is a wonderful, intelligent and very caring realtor and person. If you are buying or wanting to sell your home or property Lilly Ruiz is the #1 in our book and she will get it done for you!

Lilly was amazing. She initially helped me purchase my home 5 years ago and helped me sell it 5 years later. She is now a friend and I will recommend her to anyone. :) Thank you for all your hard work!

Not sure where to start. My wife searched online to find an agent from San Francisco online that could help us find a place in Vegas. Lilly came up on a google search and my wife emailed her, along with three other realtors that came up. Who replied first, Lilly! Lilly is attentive, caring, 'on it', and at the end of day part of our family in Vegas. She cares and is genuinely involved in the whole process, she knows what you need if that makes sense. We could never have bought a house 'sight unseen' per say, without a person like Lilly. She's is now our kids favorite auntie and lifelong family friend. She cares and will always be there to answer your emails, texts, or just pick you at the airport! No regrets, only praise for someone so amazing as a person and a professional... thank you Lilly!

One thing I can't stand about Realtors is that they are never there when you need them. Lilly Ruiz is the complete opposite. Lilly is always there when you need her. Her communication is second to none. The most important thing with Lilly is that she LISTENS.

Fantastic, If you want a wonderful realtor she is your best choice. You will not be disappointed! She is always responsive and doesn't ever leave you wondering about what your options are and answers any questions you may have. Lilly is the best, and will be there for you every step of the way.

We were so fortuitous to find Lilly Ruiz after interviewing 6-7 agents. We were relocating cross country with a limited time-frame, which made it even more challenging. Before we traveled to Las Vegas Lilly took the time to talk with us to match us to the best neighborhood. Only due to Lilly's excellent knowledge and willingness to help we were able to find our dream home in 4 days and close in under 30 days. Everyone from the builders, inspectors and lenders enjoyed working with Lilly throughout our process. From now on we will only buy a house where Lilly is licensed.

Lilly Ruiz was very professional, honest, and diligent. Lilly made sure I was taken care of from the moment I met her in her conference room. If you want a realtor that will fight for you, Lilly Ruiz is the realtor you will want to have working night and day on your behalf. Thank you Lilly for everything

Lily is an amazing realtor, she goes above and beyond to ensure that her clients are satisfied with the perfect property. I have purchased multiple properties with Lily as my realtor and she is always extremely professional and very knowledgeable of the real estate market. I appreciate all the help with any questions or concerns I may have had while purchasing a home. I couldn't ask for a better realtor to help with such a big purchase! Thank you so much Lily!

I am a first time home buyer and Lilly was able to break down every step of the process and made it easily understandable. She was responsive to every question I had. And even after we closed and moved in she continued to help us. I highly recommend Lilly Ruiz. She's also skilled in the home buying process for Vets as well which is a huge plus in my book

My husband and I have been clients of Lilly’s for a few years now. She helped ya find our first rental together, then helped us find our first home we ever purchased, and just helped us sell our house. Our house sold very quick and she makes everything so easy and stress free. I have never seen anyone go above and beyond like Lilly does. She will drop anything and everything to answer questions, or be wherever you may need her to be. Lilly is extremely knowledable and gives her honest and truthful advice. I would never choose anyone as a realtor other than Lilly. She truly puts her heart into her business and is amazing at what she does!

Helped me sell a home Lilly was a great realtor she helped me through the whole process of selling my house every step of the way. She was always there to answer any questions I had no matter what time of the day. She was consistant and made everything easy for me.

My experience with Lilly exceeded expectations. She went above and beyond to help me through out the entire process. Lilly was very well informed about the properties she shared with me and had pati ence beyond explaining while waiting for me to find a house I was satisfied with. Lilly genuinely cared about me and ensured I was well taken care of. I couldn't ask for a better realtor.

If your looking to buy or sell at home and need an honest, hard working professional, Lilly is the way to go!

Lilly is the most warm hearted person I ever worked with searching for my second house took longer than a year with getting approved and with all the cash buyers and investors in the area we kept our game face on and kept trying with all the time spent gas and money Lilly stayed very patient and professional the whole time.. this business relationship quickly turned into a friendship when we finally closed the deal of my dream home it was almost bitter sweet because I knew we wasn't going to be working together daily. but it was a fun experience. lilly is still the go to person for any questions I have about the market today or any comparables in the area

Lily made my first time home buying process a BREEZE! She is amazing and i don't think i could have made it with out her expertise! :)

Great realtor! She makes herself available at all times and always responds quickly.

Lilly is such breeze to work with and always available for questions. She went above and beyond to get us in our house quickly. I can only recommend her and she is now once again helping our family with the sale of a home.
