las vegas: Living or Decaying? - 04/23/12 07:07 AM
Are you really LIVING, growing & thriving or are you stuck in life and decaying? We have all been there at one time or another in our lives. The real question is how long do we choose to stay stuck?
Life is about change. Because when we are living things are constantly changing. Otherwise we would be dead & decaying. Coming off of a great Earth Day Celebration this weekend, I woke up this morning thinking about how this life relates to my business.

las vegas: Short Sale Authorization Form - 02/29/12 11:11 AM
I've been doing short sales in the Las Vegas area for about the last 6 years in our market. In the past, getting the complete short sale package together to submit to the bank would be done at the time of the listing. By the time there was an offer and the complete package was submitted to the bank could take up to 60 days or more at times. (not so much these days as my short sales are getting offers within days) However what I am finding now is that banks are kicking back the signed 3rd party authorization form … (0 comments)

When lenders agree to do a short sale in real estate, it means the lender is accepting less than the total amount due. Not all lenders will accept short sales or discounted payoffs, especially if it would make more financial … (5 comments)
