las vegas: Labor Day weekend and what's happening in Las Vegas - 08/28/09 07:53 AM
i guess just the standard fun that Las Vegas has to offer.  All the nightlife, free stuff, restaurants, people watching, movies, gaming, rides. It doesn't seem like there is anything special planned for the Labor Day weekend.  There are a lot of good deals right now.  Room rates are low and it's the end of summer, so come join the fun Las Vegas has to offer. 
The temperature should be great, probably around 100.  Have a great time while you're here.  For more Vegas weather etc. go to my web site and click on the weather link. www.http://PennysProperties.com

las vegas: Code of ethics as a REALTOR. Does the public really know the importance of using a Realtor? - 08/28/09 06:43 AM
All Realtors are licensed to sell real estate as an agent or a broker but not all real estate agents are Realtors.  Doea that surprise you?  It just might. Only Realtors can display the Realtor logo.

it really is important for the public to do research on their agent they pick to work with.  It's all about the Code … (0 comments)

las vegas: Been there, done that in Las Vegas, not any more. - 08/28/09 06:14 AM
Really how many days do you need to see all of Las Vegas?  Well it used to be years ago you could fly in for the weekend and cover most casinos.  I'm talking 30 years ago or so.  NOW, it takes forever.  There are so many casinos and they are so large with some many shows and entertainment that there is just no way you can cover the Las Vegas strip in a weekend. 
Besides the casinos, there is Red Rock where you can go hiking or drive through.  Mount Charleston is just a 40 minute drive from the strip. Downtown … (1 comments)

las vegas: Las Vegas is getting hot again. Market is starting to pick up, no doubt. - 08/28/09 04:21 AM
Buzz, buzz, everyons is talking about what's happening in Las Vegas and the housing market.  Many people move here becasue of the weather.  Unemployment is very high right now, but prices of homes are so low that people are purchasing anyway.  Most rentals are more expensive than to purchase a home.  So if you're going to live here you might as well buy, why rent? 
The most popular price of homes selling as of right now are 100k or less.  Think about it, how much is your actual payment even at 3.5 % down.  It's awesome.  Las Vegas will always be … (1 comments)

las vegas: moving back in with the parents in Las Vegas - 08/26/09 08:27 AM
Yes, just when we as parents of adult children think we are empty nesters we find out WRONG... Your young adult children may and are moving back because of credit issues.  They can't sell their homes for what they're worth so they sell payoff the debt while living with mom and dad.  then in a couple of years they will buy again.  So parents don't get to used to having the house to yourself.  Have a joyful day..

As of right now 12:49 p.m. Vegas time there are 438 short sale listings per the MLS.  This includes for sale, contingent or pending status.  It also includes single family residences, condos and townhomes.  The big buzz about short sales in Summerlin Las Vegas is at one time there were very few.  People are now realizing that it is possible to try to sell your home before it goes into foreclosures and that since the banks aren't releasing as many foreclosures as they used to the short sales are actually selling.

safety when showing vacant properties in Las Vegas NV (edit/delete)
http://www.pennysproperties.com/Just a reminder not to let your gaurd down when showing properties.  at one time we were concerned about who we allowed in our car.  NOW with all the vacant homes on the market we have had a number of squatters hiding out in these homes.  lots of vandalism with the homes. and yeah, no power on.   So take someone with you if you need to preview homes. or do as I do I take my dog.  He's not big but he would let me know if someone was in the … (1 comments)

las vegas: Sick and tired of it all? - 06/30/09 08:12 AM
So, everyone out there that is selling Real Estate has to understand what I'm talking about when I say I'm sick and tired of hearing how horrible the market is in Las Vegas, people saying that obviously aren't selling much..  This market is fantatsic right now.  Yes, you have to work hard at it.  Like anything in life that is worth anything you get back what you put into it.  If you're one of the agents complaining perhaps try working.  It's fun. Your Summerlin Specialist: Penny O'Brien 702.321.9383 RE/MAX Experience. anyone else in the Real Estate world with me on this one?

las vegas: Cooler whether is on it's way in Vegas - 06/30/09 08:11 AM
Thank goodness cool weather is coming.  I love the heat of summer in Las Vegas--- this year was a little different.  Because most of the homes are in foreclosure and the "power"  isn't on even though many agents would say in the MLS that the power was on.. (still don't understand that one).  Let's just say driving to properties when it's 110 degrees out and unlocking the front door of a home that states on the temostat it's all of 100 degrees inside.  It was kind of rough.  Soon the time will change and these homes still won't have the ultilities … (0 comments)

You may have noticed that little orange icon before and have questions about whwat it is all about.  I'll try my best to explain in simple terms.
The RSS is simply a bunch of Web feed formats used to publish updated content such as blog entries, news headlines or podcast.
RSS is commonly used to view News aggregator.  There are three types of news aggregators:  stand-alone programs, e-mail integrated applications, and Web-based aggregators that provide a condensed view of the information...
