summerlin: Siena in Summerlin... One of the Best Communities in the Las Vegas Valley.! - 01/16/11 04:00 PM
I would like to introduce you to the Best Active Adult Living Community in the Las Vegas Valley.

summerlin: Looking for 2011 to be a whole lot better in the Las Vegas Valley. - 12/07/10 01:46 PM
It sure is interesting what mid-term elections can do to begin to change your outlook on life here in the good old USA. A lot of political items need to be settled before the first of the year, but I'm keeping the faith that all will go in the right direction by then. But I do have one question:
"If the Bush Tax Cuts aren't extended or compromised on by the end of 2010, do we change the name to the Obama Tax Increase beginning to 2011?"
Please send your feedback and encouragement to your United States Senator and/or your United States Congressman.
Now, … (0 comments)

summerlin: Does that ever happen to you??? - 10/25/10 12:36 PM
I scheduled myself to meet a client at the office this morning at 10:00 AM. So I was up early to:
Pull the updated property list of properties we were going to look at. Arrange the properties in showing order to be most efficient with our time. Have breakfast with John, my husband. So its 9:34 AM, I'm just ready to leave and I go to my calendar only to find that I had the client scheduled for October 31 at 10:00 AM and not today!
Does that ever happen to you??? It doesn't happen often to me, but I just … (2 comments)

summerlin: Social Networking will "Help You Find Your Way Home" in the Las Vegas Valley - 10/03/10 04:47 AM
"Innovation- The Heart of the Knowledge Economy- Is Fundamentally Social." - Malcolm Gladwell.
This quote you see above seems fitting as we announce some changes we are making in our communications with our loyal readers and the people that follow us and that we follow on our Social Networks.
In the past, we have been marketing all of our properties on Realtor.com, RE/MAX.com and our website at MaryKennedyLasVegas.com. That strategy has worked out very well and we will continue in that direction.
In more recent months, we have been sending select targeted e-mails to both buyers and sellers. So far, those … (0 comments)

summerlin: Finally! Some Clarity to the Situation in the Las Vegas Valley - 08/22/10 06:59 PM
Finally! Some clarity to the situation!
I'm forwarding a link to a very well written article, by Frank Geary, published in today's Las Vegas Review Journal. The article is entitled:
IS THE HOMEOWNER HOME?: Who's living there? Owner-occupied houses decline in Clark County
The article does a really good job of telling us what's transpired during the past 6 years in this market, where we are today and, hopefully, where we are headed.
But, as usual, I can't help myself and have some comments, on the article, that I would like to share from the trenches because, Franks right, Foreclosures … (0 comments)

Summerlin Las Vegas News to Share
I have a Las Vegas Sun article, authored by Steve Green that I would like to share if you have not seen it yet.
Click here-à Land Plans Signal Growth in Summerlin
The good news is that it appears that Summerlin is headed for a growth spurt that many of us who work and live here have been waiting for. The bad news is that these projects are coming on the heels of a bankruptcy filing by General Growth Properties. So while these projects aren't finalized yet, I'm gratified that these kinds of discussions are … (0 comments)

summerlin: The Truth About Las Vegas Short Sales From Ground Zero - 05/19/10 01:00 PM
When I interview and sign-up home owners to sell their property in a short sale the most asked question is: What is average time frame for an approval letter?
Answer: Three months seems to be the average, but it varies greatly from bank to bank and file to file. I have a real advantage in that, through my Real Estate Broker, RE/MAX Central in Las Vegas I'm able to work with Short-Sale Attorney Eric Earley and his team of negotiators at the Law Offices of Steven Serle (located in our Las Vegas location). When we get a good offer on … (1 comments)

summerlin: It's Time to Hold Seminars on Short Sales for Homeowners that are "Underwater" - 04/26/10 02:07 PM
In a previous blog post, I wrote about how the Lenders are moving from foreclosure mentality towards a 3 step process to help homeowners:
Stay in their homes through loan modification or To short sell their homes if a loan modification will not work out. I also wrote about the sense of relief that homeowners feel when they realize that there is a chance for them to save their home or if they have to sell, there is a good chance that the lender will forgive the amount owed if the home sells for less than what's owed on the mortgage.

summerlin: A Message about Short Sales from Ground Zero - 04/25/10 05:40 PM
There are a couple of interesting articles popped up in the Las Vegas Review Journal during the past few days. Since Las Vegas has been called "Ground Zero" for foreclosures and short sales (check the numbers in Florida!), I thought I would share this information from "Ground Zero", where the experts are.
FROM THE LAS VEGAS REVIEW JOURNAL- Unfazed by numbers, analyst forecasts fewer foreclosures
FROM THE LAS VEGAS REVIEW JOURNAL- Short Sales Skyrocketing.. Trend may prevent a foreclosure wave.
I think that this will be a positive step for Las Vegas and many other markets accross the country. As we … (0 comments)
