Our Founder: Ivan Sher
LUXURY REAL ESTATE ADVISOR
Like many who’ve come to live in Las Vegas, Ivan himself is a California transplant. In 2000 he and his family relocated with hopes of starting anew. From 2000-2004 Ivan worked as an agent under THE top luxury broker (Florence Shapiro) in the city. From 2005 -2017 Ivan & Florence partnered under Berkshire Hathaway Home Services of Nevada and became the Shapiro & Sher Group. Their focus was to redefine what a luxury brokerage had to offer a client. Through Ivan’s partnership with Florence they dominated the luxury market and in 2017 broke $325,000,000 in sales. Sadly Florence unexpectedly passed in 2017 and so did Shapiro & Sher. Still with Berkshire Hathaway at that time Ivan re-invented the company and evolved into the Ivan Sher Group, while at the same time, he created a separate marketing division and called it IS Luxury. During his time at The Ivan Sher Group Ivan broke all city records, including highest price per foot ever sold, highest priced listing, most expensive condo, most expensive land sold, and highest priced home ever sold in Las Vegas and Henderson. At the end of 2022, Ivan broke away from Berkshire Hathaway and evolved his IS Luxury marketing company into a full-fledged luxury brokerage.
To date, Ivan still retains and continues to break many of the sales records in each neighborhood and throughout the city. Over the last 3 years, Ivan Sher Group/IS Luxury has successfully closed on $2 Billion in luxury home sales, closing over $700M in 2023 alone. IS Luxury is the evolution of all that Ivan and Florence had imagined that they would one day create. It is without question THE premier luxury brokerage in Las Vegas & Henderson. Each and every year (tracked for the last 5 years) Ivan and his team have grossly surpassed all other luxury agents, teams, and brokerages in the city, sometimes doubling and even tripling the next closest competitor in volume. When asked, Ivan attributes his amazing success to the incredible agents and support staff that he has the privilege to surround himself with.
