MY NAME IS TRENT GRAVES, AND I LOVE MESQUITE, NV! 
In 2004, my family was looking for a home to buy in Mesquite, NV. After researching and visiting many of the wonderful communities, I relocated my family here and took a job with Advanced Construction as their Land Acquisitions and Development Manager. After spending most of my life in northern Utah, we decided it was time for a change. The traffic, weather, and especially those 2 month long inversions led us south. In addition to having many great opportunities in my career, I became an owner in the local powersports dealership and ran operations from 2011-2013. 
 
One of the major draws to Mesquite are the millions of acres of public lands that surround our town and are accessible directly from your door.  I love to spend time exploring the surrounding mountains and desert, taking in its rich culture and heritage. I have logged thousands of miles on my Polaris RZR and dirtbike, never tiring of being in the desert. One of the most amazing rides is from Mesquite to the Grand Canyon. The trip includes a night at a remote cattle ranch/lodge called the Bar 10. It has no cell phone service or television, just old fashioned entertainment and dutch oven cooking.
 
I also have found many opportunities to serve in the community. I coached several little league sports teams, but my true love was the 6 years I coached my son's little league football and won the regional championship our last year. We have raised 3 children in this valley and could not have picked a better place to do that. There is a true sense of community and bonding that comes with getting involved. There is nothing like Friday night lights at Virgin Valley High School, truly a community event.
 
Much of my time here has been spent serving on HOA boards and as the President of the Falcon Ridge Master Community Association. These posts have given me much insight into how these communities work, and how they affect the way you live in many of the communities in Mesquite. In total, I have been involved in the real estate business for over 20 years.  One of my accomplishments while trying to improve Mesquite's image and market awareness, was to create–jointly with the city–a short video about Mesquite, and why it is so great to live here; you can find that link in my website. Take a minute and watch; hope you enjoy, and I look forward to working with you and welcoming you to our gem in the desert!  Whether you are looking to buy or sell real estate in Mesquite, NV, or in Littlefield, AZ, then let my expertise work for you.
