Las Vegas proper — the Strip corridor and the submarkets around it — draws a different client than Summerlin or Henderson. Second homes, high-rise condos, and straightforward investment purchases make up a much bigger share of the activity here, and they get underwritten differently than a family relocation.

That’s a natural fit for how Devone approaches every deal: he was an investor before he was a broker, running his own capital through D.A. Richard Investments and later financing other people’s deals through Southern Pacific Funding. A Las Vegas purchase gets read the way he’d read it if it were his own money.
