Frequently asked questions.
The specific, honest answers — about me, my licensing status, what I do and don’t do, and how the personal introduction works.
Everything worth knowing, in one place.
What is Biggest Little Realty?
Biggest Little Realty is the personal real-estate website of Jerry Andrew Watkins III, covering Reno, Sparks, Lake Tahoe and Las Vegas, Nevada. The name is a nod to Reno, “The Biggest Little City in the World.” Jerry listens to what you’re looking for, shares honest local knowledge, and personally connects you with an appropriately licensed real-estate professional — there is no call center and no sales funnel.
Is Jerry a licensed real-estate agent?
Not yet — and he’ll always be straight about that. Jerry has successfully passed his real-estate licensing examinations and is deliberately choosing the brokerage that aligns with his values before he begins practicing. Until then he does not represent buyers or sellers, value homes, or give licensed advice; every licensed task is handed to an appropriately licensed professional.
What does Jerry actually do for me?
Jerry’s service is the introduction, done personally. You share what you’re imagining through the chat or contact form; he learns your brief — region, property type, budget range, timeline — then reaches out himself and connects you with the right licensed real-estate agent, and where relevant a lender, attorney, or CPA. The licensed professional handles valuations, showings, offers, contracts, financing and closing.
Can Jerry tell me what my home is worth?
No — valuing a home requires a licensed agent preparing a comparative market analysis on your specific property. What Jerry will do is connect you with the right licensed professional to get an accurate read. You can also start with the instant estimate tool at homes.biggestlittlerealty.com/sell and treat it as a conversation starter, not an appraisal.
What areas does Biggest Little Realty cover?
Three Nevada regions: Northern Nevada (Reno, Sparks and Carson City, including neighborhoods like Midtown, Somersett and South Reno), Lake Tahoe (including Incline Village on the Nevada shore, roughly a 35–45 minute drive from Reno via the Mount Rose Highway), and the Las Vegas valley.
Does Nevada have a state income tax?
No. Nevada has no state personal income tax and no state estate or inheritance tax, which is one of the most common reasons people relocate from neighboring states. How that affects your own finances depends on your situation — that’s a question for a CPA, and Jerry will gladly point you to one.
Will you spam me or sell my information?
No. Sharing your details means Jerry will personally reach out once and connect you with the right licensed professional. He collects only your name, your contact, and what you’re looking for — never sensitive information like Social Security or financial-account numbers — and your information is not sold.
How does Biggest Little Realty handle fair housing?
Biggest Little Realty does business in accordance with the Federal Fair Housing Act and treats every visitor equally. Areas are described only by objective characteristics — price range, property type, lot size, proximity to the lake or the Strip, commute and amenities — never by who lives there. For school data, you’ll be pointed to official district sources.
Where do the articles on this site come from?
Articles are published twice weekly and draw on primary sources: the National Association of REALTORS®, Nevada REALTORS®, the Reno/Sparks Association of REALTORS®, Federal Reserve (FRED) mortgage-rate data, U.S. Census figures, and official city and county resources. Every article lists the sources it references, and none of it is financial or investment advice.
How do I get started?
Use the chat (“Start the conversation”) or the contact form on the homepage. Tell Jerry what you’re imagining and the best way to reach you — he’ll personally follow up and make a warm, well-matched introduction to the right licensed professional. No pressure, no obligation, and you move at your own pace.
