RELOCATION TIMELINE

How to Relocate to Dover at Summerlin West in 8 Steps

From first research to keys-in-hand, here's the 8–14 week timeline most Dover buyers follow (longer for to-be-built). Two Nevada residency deadlines are statutory: driver's license within 30 days, vehicle registration within 60, per the Nevada DMV — miss them and registration penalties stack.

1. 01

   Pick your builder and product tier

   Decide: Toll Brothers or Taylor Morrison premium lots in Dover Summit ($650K+), Lennar family floor plans in Dover Crossing ($550K+), Shea Homes park-adjacent in Dover Park ($575K+), or Lennar attached court homes ($500K+). Each has different option packages and phase timing.

2. 02

   Get pre-approved — builder-financing aware

   Builders have preferred lenders offering rate buy-downs and option credits. Compare their total package against an independent pre-approval — lenders compete on rate plus incentive. VA works at Dover; confirm builder acceptance before your first model tour.

3. 03

   Hire a Nevada Real Estate Group builder specialist

   Builder representative commission is paid by the builder, not you — so representation costs nothing. Our agents track current releases, lot positions, and incentive calendars weekly across all four Dover builders.

4. 04

   Tour model parks and select a lot

   Model parks are open daily. Walk the actual lot you'd buy, not just the model home — elevation, orientation toward Red Rock, park proximity, and street position matter for daily life and resale. Bring a checklist of option priorities; upgrade costs compound.

5. 05

   Write the purchase agreement

   Builder contracts are not standard Nevada residential purchase agreements — they favor the builder on change-order costs, walk-through timing, and deposit forfeiture. Have our team review before you sign. Lot premiums, structural options, and financing incentives should all be documented in the contract.

6. 06

   Frame walk and pre-drywall inspection

   Hire an independent inspector for the frame walk — catching structural issues before drywall costs a few hundred dollars and can save tens of thousands. Document every option selection from the signed sheet against actual installation before drywall goes up.

7. 07

   Final walk, punch list, and closing

   Nevada closes through escrow companies in 30–45 days for quick move-ins; to-be-built timelines are set by the builder's completion estimate. Create a thorough punch list at the final walk — builders are most responsive before keys change hands.

8. 08

   Move in, register, and enjoy the trails

   Transfer utilities (NV Energy, Southwest Gas, Las Vegas Valley Water District), register with the HOA, and handle Nevada DMV — license within 30 days, vehicle registration within 60. The Summerlin trail system is open the day you move in.
