You can sell your own home in Nevada without an agent. What you cannot skip is the paperwork, and you take on the work an agent would otherwise do: pricing, marketing, showings, negotiation and getting the deal to closing. This guide covers what Nevada requires from a seller, how the main steps work, and when help is worth having. It is general information, not legal advice; a Nevada attorney can answer questions about your situation.
The Nevada seller disclosure
Nevada's Seller's Real Property Disclosure, Form 547 (revised June 1, 2023, read October 16, 2026) is the Nevada Real Estate Division's form. The form and the statutes it prints say:
- Who: a seller of residential property, defined as land with one to four dwelling units, must disclose known conditions that materially affect the value or use of the property in an adverse manner (NRS 113.100 and 113.130).
- Who fills it in: the seller completes it. A seller's agent may not complete it on the seller's behalf.
- When: at least 10 days before the property is conveyed to the buyer, the seller must complete the form and serve it on the buyer. Conveyance means the close of escrow or, if no escrow is opened, when the buyer receives the deed.
- No waiver: a buyer may not waive the form, and a seller may not require a buyer to waive it.
- If you skip it: the form states that failure to give a signed disclosure lets the purchaser terminate an otherwise binding purchase agreement and seek other remedies (NRS 113.150).
- New problems: if you discover a new defect, or that a disclosed one has worsened, after serving the form, you must tell the buyer in writing as soon as practicable and no later than conveyance; if you do not agree to repair it, the buyer may rescind or close and accept the property as disclosed.
- Exceptions: the rule does not apply to a foreclosure sale, a sale between co-owners, spouses or close relatives, the first sale of a residence built by a licensed contractor, or a sale by someone who holds the property temporarily only to facilitate a sale for a person who relocates out of the county or state.
The form asks about systems and appliances, structure, foundation and drainage, flood plain, roof, pool, pests, environmental hazards, mold, shared features, common-interest communities and HOA fees, water and solar panels, among other things. It also notes that for a property built on or before December 31, 1977, additional federal EPA lead-based paint notification and disclosure documents are required. Answer every question, explain every "yes" and keep a signed copy.
Pricing
Price from evidence. Look at what comparable homes in your area sold for recently, how long they took, and what is for sale now. Our area guides show live medians, and the home value page gives an estimate. See how much your home is worth. An asking price set by hope rather than comparable sales is the most common reason a home sits; see how long it takes to sell.
Marketing
- Good photos and an accurate, complete description matter more than anything else you control.
- Most buyers search listings on websites that get their data from the MLS. Listing on the MLS is normally done through a licensed broker.
- Expect buyers' agents. With written buyer agreements now common, a buyer may ask you to cover some or all of their agent's pay; the National Association of REALTORS®' guide says compensation is negotiable and that a buyer can ask the seller to cover it. Decide in advance what you will offer.
- Federal and Nevada fair housing laws apply to how you advertise and whom you sell to. Ask an attorney if you are unsure.
Offers, escrow and title
Review each offer for price, financing, contingencies, closing date and who pays which costs. After you accept an offer, the deposit and paperwork go to an escrow or title company, which collects the documents and funds and records the sale when everything is in place. The buyer's lender usually requires title insurance. The CFPB's closing steps show the buyer's side, and the buyer must receive a Closing Disclosure three business days before closing (CFPB, read October 16, 2026). Ask the escrow or title company for the closing date and its fees in writing, and do not hand over the deed or keys before you are paid.
When an agent can help
- You are not comfortable setting the price, or the offers you get are far apart.
- You do not have time for showings, calls and paperwork.
- The buyer has an agent and the negotiation is getting complicated.
- The home needs repairs and you need help deciding which are worth doing.
- You want your home on the MLS.
A checklist
- Complete Form 547 yourself, honestly, before you list or no later than 10 days before closing.
- Gather the HOA documents, if there is an association.
- Get recent sold-home evidence and set the price.
- Photograph the home and write an accurate description.
- Decide in advance what you will offer a buyer's agent.
- Choose an escrow or title company.
- Have a Nevada attorney review the contract if anything is unclear.
