real estate: How I Went Paperless...For Free!!! Do it yourself paperless real estate transaction manager - 08/26/10 02:01 AM
There's many reasons why you might want to take your real estate business paperless...
For me, the search began when I got a critical phone call from a short sale negotiator at 7pm on a Friday night.  I'm sure they were expecting my voicemail because she explained she had to make calls on 40 files that evening.  (It goes a lot quicker when you can just leave a message!)
So there I am driving home from the grocery store on the phone with the negotiator who had just called me.  I pulled over to talk and now the negotiator wants to … (12 comments)

real estate: Finding The Best Schools in Las Vegas, Las Vegas Real Estate - 11/05/08 06:57 PM

Researching local public schools is a good idea when purchasing real estate even if you're buying investment property.   Being zoned for a "popular" or highly desired school can make a property easier to rent or sell.  But keep in mind, re-zoning is common.
Here are some sites to help research schools.  From these links you can find information such as zoning, school comparisons, parent and student opinions, & much more.

BE SURE TO READ ALL FORMS CAREFULLY
 
With many clients completing forms via fax and internet, I thought it would be helpful to highlight some common forms in a way that the client can get the same explanation and instruction as they would if they were sitting face to face with me.  I can't stress enough that each form should be read carefully and entirely before signing.

real estate: Lake Las Vegas - Best Place to Invest, Worst Place to Invest, or somewhere in between? - 08/17/08 08:34 PM
Recently, I posted a response disagreeing with another agent who stated: 
"As for where to invest here, specifically, there are 2 areas I believe that will be most profitable: 1) property that generates income, purchased at a time when values are depressed (in almost any area, given how transient our work force is) and 2) property in one of - if not the most - exclusive addresses of our metro area, Lake Las Vegas."
I don't think anyone would disagree with #1, but I did not agree with making such a claim about Lake Las Vegas without mentioning some red flags … (1 comments)

real estate: What percentage of LV RE brokers are college educated? - 08/17/08 08:02 PM
I spend a few minutes each day answering real estate related questions online by email or on websites set up for the public to ask questions and receive responses.  I've noticed similar questions tend to come up and sometimes I know I've answered it before, but can't recall where. There have also been times where I put a good deal of effort into preparing an answer and later found the question had been deleted.  Well, I thought, why not post my answers to my own blog?  btw, Spelling and grammar in the questions have been left "as asked".
