AboutDiann Tonnesen Expertise I am a 22 year resident of Las Vegas and Henderson and I can answer any questions having to do with buying or selling real estate in the Las Vegas Valley. I am a professional Realtor with Century 21 and I have raised my children here, so I am particularly good at advising families about schools and neighborhoods. I just love Las Vegas and I want everyone to know Las Vegas is more than just casinos - it`s a fabulous place to live and work! The community is filled with loads of cultural activities, parks and friendly people and our weather is wonderful year round.
Experience My husband and I have been serving the Las Vegas Valley since 1983, so we really know the neighborhoods and can access them through our database which has over 8,000 new and resale homes. For our buyers we offer in-house lending at below market rates plus complete relocation services including free utility connection hook ups. For our sellers we have terrific strategies for preparing a home to get top dollar, and we have a high-tech comprehensive marketing program that will effectively promote their home to millions of people around the world daily.

Question Hello Diann. I am a fellow "expert" (education) and now I need help myself. My question is right up your alley!
Can you provide me the names of any magazines in your area that are geared towards high-end homeowners? I am interested in finding publications that would have articles about topics such as lifestyle, design, entertaining, travel, and ideas related to the home and garden. Also, can you provide the name of a writer at the main newspaper that specializes in articles related to gardening and outdoor entertaining?
Although I am a nationally certified educator by day, I am also a designer and manufacturer of architectural-grade stainless steel planters, firepits, beverage servers and UL-approved outdoor lighting. Just this month editors form Interior Design Magazine featured one of my pieces in its Spring Market Guide. Also in May editors form Better Homes and Gardens used the entire collection in a project that is in one of their special publications on Patios and Decks. Now I need to keep the momentum going by connecting with other publications in areas in which people appreciate and can afford absolutely superior products like I make.
Thanks so much for your time and willingness to help. I appreciate it greatly!
Answer Hi Amy!
This is going to be brief, as I am in a rush to get out the door this morning, but hopefully it is exactly what you need.
First the RJ reporters - a couple that seem to write fairly often in the homes and garden section of the paper would be
Sonya Padgett, Reporter: general assignment
SPadgett@reviewjournal.com
Phone: (702) 380-4564
Joan Whitely, Reporter: general assignment
JWhitely@reviewjournal.com
Phone: (702) 383-0268
As for home and garden magazines, we have a couple of home and garden magazines that may help you that are also online.
In real estate magazines one company publishes almost all our local magazines and that would be Harmon Publishing. The list of the local magazines they offer is:
Casas de Las Vegas
Custom Homes of Las Vegas
Getaway Homes
Homes of Southern Nevada
Las Vegas Homes & Living (New Homes)
Las Vegas Map Guide
Las Vegas Showcase of Homes
Today's Homes of Las Vegas
Obviously custom homes of Las Vegas would be your best bet there for upscale living, but the Homes of Southern Nevada gets a circulation in professional offices and seems to attract an affluent buyer as well, though it is not specifically geared for it. You can probably contact Harmon Homes through my personal ad rep Jennifer by emailing her at:
