The panel discussion titled ‘Design, Build, Sell, Lend and Appraise Homes of the Energy Future’ was organized by Bubak and moderated by Linda Rheinberger of Las Vegas Quality Realty and Nevada Association of Realtors (NVAR) Past President.

The mixer was held at the Blue Heron 2013 New American Home. Blue Heron CEO Tyler Jones brought his team together to create a show home that’s the embodiment of the Las Vegas design build firm’s three-point vision.
“Blue Heron desert contemporary custom homes are designed with a focus on the indoor-outdoor relationship and a focus on sustainable design,” Jones says. “These important elements in design build are the cornerstone of what we do.”
