Be Very Careful about Purchasing a Home in certain States, Cities and Towns

 
When it comes to purchasing a home we need to be very careful and do our home work when it comes to Fires & Floods.

Sure everyone has home owners insurance but usually covers accessed value which can be approx. 75% of market value and or what a person could sell their home for.
Now I did here on the news with the Northern California fires that 9 electrical power lines had fallen from the winds which … (6 comments)

Everyone knows that Vegas Bob like to refrain from negative things, and tries his best to surround himself with positive and happy things ... but!
 
Vegas Bob can no longer hold this back ...
Since the end of 2014 and the beginning of 2015, Vegas Bob learned about some information from several different people in California and other sources.
 
Now I don't know where some Californians get their information, but I think it stems from Silicon Valley, and all the World Wide Web information that runs through the computer industry there.

be careful: Unhappy Home Buyers ... Be careful what you tell them! - 06/30/11 07:10 AM

 
 Vegas Bob has been running into Home Buyers around the Las Vegas area that purchased homes 1-2 years ago. When they purchased their homes the agents that represented them mentioned that Las Vegas was at the bottom of the RE market. These people purchased their homes with very little down and now their homes are upside down!
 Nobody has a crystal ball when it comes to reading the future of RE or other events, so please be very careful of the words your using around your clients. Some agents are making a bad name for RE agents and word … (14 comments)

Can you represent both parties fairly with (Dual Agency)?
 
My brother is in the process of selling his home and some other properties in the Midwest.
The last time they listed there home with a local Real Estate Agent the Agent insisted on playing both the Buyers Agent & Listing Agent so they could make more money with 7% commission verses 3.5
The Agent insisted on reducing the price because they had a friend that wanted to purchase the home. Now is this representing the Seller & Buyer fairly? The home never sold last year and I have a good … (10 comments)

 Vegas Bob would love to sell you a home but you say the company you work for is laying off workers!
 This post goes out to anyone that is interested in purchasing a home, know your limits.
 1)   Know if you place of employment is secure before you purchase a home.
 2)   Try to have at least enough money to get you by for 6-12 months. There are so many people that live from check to check and then when you can't make the house payment etc., you start borrowing on credit cards and that is a no-no in my … (5 comments)

 My clients became very scared when I showed them a REO last week! by Vegas Bob
 This has happened to me before and it can be a little creepy, and my clients were very bothered by it.
 I try not to show homes after dark, especially REO homes because most of the time the power is turned off. We were running a little late on several showings and I asked my clients if they wanted to look at the last home in the morning the following day. They mentioned that they had plans the following day and wanted to look at … (5 comments)

 Please respect other drivers on the road!
 There has been some serious road rage lately in the South West and it's really scary!
 Driving home from work today cars are weaving in and out, people are rolling down their windows and flipping other drivers off. It made me want to get off the road and get home where it's safe.
 What is the hurry people? Where is the fire? Is the music your listening to in your car bringing up your blood pressure? Did you just lose your home? Did you just go through a divorce?
 What ever your problems may … (16 comments)

 Beware - Companies (Going out of Business)
 In 2008 I was burned by several companies Going Out Of Business, without a warning or a big wonderful sign like this.
 There are companies Going Out Of Business everywhere and all of a sudden.
 There are lists of companies that are Going Out Of Business over the Internet and through other sources.

 Questions from Clients? Think before you answer, but don't think to long. Practise your answers so when you come across with them, you sound confident with your answers.

Why SUPRA Key systems are better than any other Locks for Real Estate (must read)
 Just recently in Las Vegas several homes have been robbed because the locks were not SUPRA Key Lock systems.
 I have come across combination locks and other type of ways to lock homes when trying to sell in the Real Estate market and really in my opinion SUPRA Key systems best lock systems, especially if the sellers are still living in the home.
 In Las Vegas, Nevada thieves have found a way to get information over the Internet and combination lock numbers. With this information the thieves … (9 comments)

 Yes, once again I just came across a post by a dear friend and member of mine at Active Rain in Las Vegas, Nevada. It seems that another member or members are jealous of her success, so their spreading rumors.
 Less than one month ago another member of Active Rain pulled my personal information, my business license and properties that I own and emailed it to other members in the city where I live. And told these people that I am a liar and to stay away from me because I am rising up the directory for Clark County, Las Vegas and … (29 comments)
