Vegas Inc Presents The 2023 Real Estate Awards

A region’s real estate market is often representative of the area’s growth and progress, and while housing markets are known to experience fluctuations, Las Vegas has never failed to bounce back. Our home is one of resilience and perseverance and it continues to expand. The development of the Las Vegas Valley and greater Southern Nevada region have inspired massive population increase over the last 50 years, transforming what was once a small desert outpost into the bustling metropolis that is today’s Las Vegas.  

Real Estate is a big part of that progress. The spaces we inhabit are critical to the work we do and the way we spend our time. Realtors help find and secure the best places for our families to live and our businesses to operate so we can thrive as individuals and expend our best energy on our work and community.  

On behalf of our team at Vegas Inc I would like to congratulate this year’s Real Estate Career Milestone recipients and Industry Leaders. Your dedication to building the community and serving the people who live in it does not go unrecognized. Thank you for making Nevada home.

Alan Molasky

Ovation Development Corporation

“Nevada is a can-do state and Las Vegas a can-do city. It’s a place where anything is possible. Las Vegas has been a wonderful place to dream big and do big,” said Alan Molasky, founder and CEO of Ovation Development Corporation.

Molasky has been dreaming and doing big things as a real estate developer in Las Vegas for nearly 50 years. Early in his career, Molasky identified the need for more affordable housing options in Southern Nevada and forecasted a concerted effort between public and private sectors to address the crisis. Ovation Development Corporation builds market-rate and affordable multifamily housing, which is critical when working toward a solution for Southern Nevada’s housing shortage.

Today, Ovation’s housing portfolio includes 36 apartment-home communities valued at more than $1 billion. Among the company’s many accomplishments, Molasky is proudest of Ovation’s work to provide affordable housing to working families and seniors with fixed incomes.

In addition to his work in real estate, Molasky is also very involved in the Molasky Family Foundation which provides aid to local nonprofits focused on education, medical and hospice care, the environment, and food insecurity. Ovation partners with Coordinated Living of Southern Nevada, which facilitates coordination with Three Square and its Food Rescue Program to deliver food to tenants of various affordable housing projects.

David Tina, Dave Tina, Angela Tina

Urban Nest Realty

David Tina and son and daughter-in-law Dave and Angela Tina are creating an environment of family and progress at Urban Nest Realty. None of the three agents started their careers pursuing real estate, but each found their passion as they embraced the opportunities and experiences that exist in the versatile and ever-changing landscape of real estate.

David Tina got his start in Long Island, New York, but found his home in Las Vegas where he has worked in real estate for the past 26 years. He founded Urban Nest Realty with Dave and Angela in 2012 and has served as the president of Las Vegas Realtors and of Nevada Realtors before becoming the Regional Vice President for National Association of Realtors. Most recently, he was appointed the Nevada Real Estate Commissioner.

Dave Tina originally got his real estate license as a backup plan but found genuine connection in the relationships he forged in the industry. Today, he says the career chose him. “When someone buys a home, it is literally an identity shift from one environment to a new home; [it] is similar to emotional growth. Being a part of that transformation is special, and I honor it,” he said.

Angela Tina has always been full of entrepreneurial spirit and was running her own company at 19—something that prepared her to eventually help open Urban Nest Realty with her family. She is heavily involved in the community and the volunteer opportunities at Urban Nest, and she is the incoming Vice President of Nevada Women’s Philanthropy.

He is a proud local Nevadan and appreciates how Las Vegas has grown over the years.

Hendershot never saw himself living in Las Vegas but says moving to Nevada and joining the Colliers team was the best career decision he has made so far. He is involved in NAIOP as a member of the Golf Tournament committee and volunteers for the Las Vegas Rescue Mission.

Pavlov and Hendershot are also co-founders of Future of Real Estate Las Vegas Networking Events, which are bimonthly events hosted for individuals under the age of 40 in the commercial real estate industry.
