las vegas: Houses with pool selling fast, is it something in the air?
- 02/09/17 01:57 PM
Hi all, Have You ever noticed how the smell in the air changes over night sometimes? I live 4.5 hours from the California beaches but I swear some days I smell the ocean. That Lovely Fresh ocean salty breeze. I looked up to see how many houses were for sale to fit my clients criteria. 1995 sf or more, 4 bedrooms, 1 bedroom to be downstairs, outdoor pool and under $310,000. I believe there were only 74 in the whole Las Vegas valley. Las Vegas weather for the most part is typically warm. I always see a switch in buyers when this time of year comes around. The air … (0 comments)
las vegas: Are things going sideways in the Las Vegas Housing Market? FIRTA
- 02/08/17 09:34 AM
Hi all, Here's what I see happening in the Las Vegas housing market, grant you this is my opinion formed from selling Real Estate full-time in the Vegas Valley for over 16 years. Things are kinda sideways and a few people are scrathing their heads saying hey what's going on with the FIRTA clause when buying and selling in Vegas. First of all, like any industry there tends to be trends. You know a flow, prices go up then they drop. Well, I've seen something escalating and that is sellers selling their property with the FIRTA clause. What is FIRTA? Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax. FIRTA … (1 comments)

las vegas: LAS VEGAS LIVING VS. COUNTRY LIVING
- 06/02/11 12:06 PM
It's kind of funny when you think about it...Las Vegas is pretty Urban very little Rural to our area. So when the topic of neighbors comes up it makes you wonder how many of your neighbors you actually know in your area. Let's say we're talking within a two mile stretch any direction. The reason I think it's funny is because I just had a friend move from Las Vegas to Mt. Shasta. She is now living in a very rural area (after spending several years in the City of Las Vegas). I asked her have you made any friends in … (0 comments)
las vegas: MANIFESTING MORE PROSPERITY.. CAN YOU FEEL IT? I'M PUTTING IT OUT INTO THE REAL ESTATE UNIVERSE.
- 05/18/11 10:46 AM
With so many different things happening in our Las Vegas Real Estate Market I thought maybe manifesting prosperity was a good idea. Do you agree? Let's all do this and see what happens. Wouldn't that be awesome if we all (Real Estate Agents) could stop what we're doing and and SYCRONIZE this manifestation? We should give it a try. Anything is possible right? Escpecially when it comes to Real Estate. If we are determined enough we can make positive successful closings MANIFESTING: ~adjective 1. readily perceived by the human eye or the understanding; evident; obvious; apparent; plain: a manifest error. 2. Psychoanalysis … (0 comments)
las vegas: SUMMERLIN, LAS VEGAS ENTERTAINMENT... VISIT Summerlin when you come to Vegas
- 05/17/11 08:51 AM
Many people know about Summerlin, NV... It's very near the Las Vegas Strip. We have a couple of local casinos.. Red Rock Casino and The Rampart Casino. Both casinos are Excellent. Summerlin is also located near Red Rock Canyons in the Mountains. There is a driving excursion you can travel through which is absolutely beautiful. Within Red Rock are walking and biking trails. Definitely worth a visit. There is also a camping area located near Red Rock.. I know right, Most people think Las Vegas they surely don't think CAMPING.. Well, there is and it's just been re-done. They have power … (0 comments)
las vegas: What I heard on the radio this past weekend about our Las Vegas housing market.
- 04/26/11 10:16 AM
I woke up early this Easter Sunday to hear an local attorney being interviewed by a radio host on a popular local station, topic was the Las vegas housing market. Of course, everyone in this city has an opinion about our housing market. Locals have an opinion, business people have an opinion, Real Estate agents have their opinions, accountant have their opinions, politicians have their opinions... One thing the attorney touched on was that 50% (estimate) of our listings are short sales. I almost think the percentage is higher. Another thing we spoke about was our number of homes that banks are … (2 comments)

I just spent the past few days showing a vey lovely couple rentals in Summerlin. I found them a perfect condo. It's a condo that rented for $850.. Two bedrooms, two full baths. One car garage.. How nice. They signed an one year lease they have no pets and paid a small cleaning deposit that will be refundable if left in broom clean condition. They are happy and I feel good having the opportunity to work with them and find them the place that fits them well. It's close to shopping and freeway access.

las vegas: Simply Vegas, my new Real Estate home. I'm super excited.
- 02/28/11 08:58 AM
I just have to put my feelings into a blog this afternoon. It's a little like writing in a journal I suppose. I have moved to a new Real Estate office, Simply Vegas. The building is so beautiful, the agents are amazing and the brokers/owners, well, they are AWESOME. I have been a RE/MAX agent for a number of years, buying and selling Real Estate with clients for over a decade. I have also been a Summerlin Real Estate Professional for years. Our Las Vegas housing market currently consists of short sale listings but I do have a few standard typical house sales, that … (1 comments)
las vegas: What to do in Las Vegas before the NEW DECADE arrives. 2011... More than just gambling happens here.
- 12/09/10 02:02 PM
I believe that a lot of Las Vegans are ready for the New Year to come. It's been a very rough time for a number of natives for the past 4 years or so. Everyday I hear from a friend that they know of someone either losing their home or their job or I hear it from a dear friend. It's not coming to an end just because 2010 is ending but it is the beginning for hope. More hopeful thinking and wanting. Here are a few free things to do in Vegas or limited amount of necesarry money to enjoy … (2 comments)
las vegas: THANKSGIVING IN LAS VEGAS.. WHAT A YEAR IT'S BEEN.
- 11/23/10 08:13 AM
Happy Thanksgiving to all visitors to Las Vegas or residents who are going out on Thanksgiving instead of slaving away over a hot oven at home can find plenty of places for traditional and not-so-traditional Thanksgiving meals on Thanksgiving Day. Most restaurants require reservations.. If you're not looking to go out knock on your neighbors door and perhaps plan an neighborhood potluck.. Even though our unemployment rate is high and we are number one in foreclosures etc. we do have many things to be grateful and thankful for. Take a few minutes just to let go of the stiuation that can be … (0 comments)
las vegas: How to drive your clients crazy or not. Working with buyers in our Las Vegas housing market
- 08/24/10 10:35 AM
Don't drive your clients crazy or waste your time: Save time and money: Do not allow clients in your car until they show proof of funds or approval letter Make sure you've done your homework on the properties you are going to view. Did you call the listing agent and ask those important questions: Examples: do you have any other offers on the property? how many loans on the property? is the listing agent familiar with handling short sales? ETC. Prepare your clients with a clip board and MLS listings of which properties your going to visit and make sure … (0 comments)
las vegas: HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT, SUPER HOT weather just like our Housing Market
- 07/23/10 06:59 AM
We are going on our second week of extreme heat in Las Vegas. It's amazing when the news reports that the temp is 112 degrees but yet the temperature in my car reads 121 degrees. That's from a car that has been sitting in a covered parking garage for 6 hours. As I drive away the temp goes down to 115 degrees. I still haven't reach any part of the valley of which the temp goes down, even in Summerlin one of the coolest places in the valley. I love the heat here in Las Vegas, My motto is "the Hotter … (1 comments)
las vegas: Las Vegas home prices are less than half price from four years ago.
- 06/10/10 09:02 AM
It's amazing how our home prices have dropped. No wonder why so many homeowners are walking away from their homes. If they bought a home four years ago for $500,000 more than likely the home is now worth about $220,000.. short sale price.. If it was bank owned it'd be less. I realize that many homeowners can't see any reason to stay paying on a home that has dropped so much. But depending on their loan on the home they could be losing some valuable money too. Many people did put 20% down on their homes. Twenty percent on a $500,000 … (0 comments)
las vegas: Short sales: OH my GOSH
- 06/08/10 07:40 AM
Our city of Las Vegas is completely littered with short sales. It has been for about a year and is continuing to grow and grow. i just spent a few days with a friend in Southern California and that is what their market is coming also. Although it seems as they are doing more foreclosures than we are in Las Vegas. I know there are many benefits to short sales and banks usually get a higher price for the homes. But if you've been dealing with the banks you know how painful it can be. The banks can lead you on … (0 comments)
