real estate: Danger and Opportunity - 10/08/08 06:45 PM
Whew, what a crazy week it's been in the markets!Everybody ok? I just wanted to reach out with an article from Inman that's actually somewhat positive, or at least slightly motivating. Here's the Link: http://www.inman.com/opinion/guest-perspective/2008/10/2/opportunity-street-still-knockingSome of us get really bogged down when the news is nasty. We get lost in the messages we are bombarded with on TV and radio. Getting caught up in it is the last thing we need to do. It's ok to be informed, and, do your best not to let it get you down. If you look at all the headlines, they read, "Recession,", "Depression," "Market … (1 comments)

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING REO CLOSINGS IN LAS VEGAS, NV

This information is very relevant and helpful for what is going on in our industry right now:

real estate: Is Vegas Finding Its Bottom? - 02/20/08 12:50 AM
Last week, I heard one of my top agents call to tell his well-qualified, first time home buyer that another offer was accepted on the home he wanted. This is the second time he's had to make that call. They are looking for a newer 3 bedroom home with a 2 car garage in Summerlin. They had offered more money than the asking price.
I am hearing of this happening more and more. Many homes in Las Vegas that sellers could no longer make full payments on, or that couldn't be sold in a Short Sale, have been foreclosed on and … (0 comments)

real estate: TREO vs BlackBerry Cell Phone - 06/27/07 11:46 PM
I hate to admit it, as I was a die-hard Treo user for the last couple of years, but I just converted to the new BlackBerry Pearl cell phone. Is it ever cool with the little scrolling, back-lit pearl!
The BlackBerry Pearl applications are very useful and easy to figure out. The email platform is fast, clear, and simple to set up. As a Las Vegas Real Estate agent that handles a lot of Internet leads, utilizing email on my phone insures that we don't lose a client to someone else. We can respond to questions and comments about the Las Vegas real estate market … (15 comments)

real estate: New Mom Trying to Lose the Last of the Baby Weight...Help! by Dana Whittaker - 05/17/07 10:59 PM
My first baby, Carter, is now 6 months old. Motherhood is more amazing than I could have imagined! Thanks to having a wonderful career like real estate in Las Vegas, I was able to take several months off to take care of my baby boy and begin to figure out how to be a mom. My husband is my business partner so that really helped. I could support him from home if he needed anything out in the field. I've joined the working mom club and am finding a balance between work, family, exercise and anything else I can cram in.
So here's my … (14 comments)

I caught the 2007 Las Vegas Perspective on the news this morning in Las Vegas, on KVBC channel 3.

real estate: Buying in Las Vegas by Chris Whittaker - 04/13/07 10:35 AM
Just wrote an offer for a buyer looking to purchase in Northwest Las Vegas. Man, there are some fantastic deals out there. We found a beautiful one story 4 bedroom new home with granite counters and a beautiful backyard. It had 1850 sq.ft. and a 2 car garage. The seller paid $350,000 in 2005. It's on the market for $289,000. Obviously it's a short sale and the seller just wants to unload it. My clients went with a traditional 1 story with 3 bedrooms in a nice masterplanned community. We offered $272,000 with the seller to contribute 3% towards the buyers … (1 comments)
