Las Vegas Short Sales
Homeowners Bill of Rights
I had the opportunity to hear Robert Noggle, Esq. speak yesterday about the new HOBR legislation. He helped clear up a misconception that was pervasive and being mistakenly sold to the public at large. This misconception is that the banks can't ask for an "Arms Length" affidavit in a short sale. The banks can and likely will continue to require this document. That means that the borrower can't Continue Reading
Where are the homes?
WHERE ARE THE HOMES? The inventory of available homes here in Southern Nevada has been hovering around 4,000 for many months now. Buyers are wondering where all the homes are so they can buy again. The theory is that the "banks" are sitting on a lot of homes and they are going to release them soon. My colleagues and I don't believe the banks will release a lot of Vegas houses here. We don't Continue Reading
Make your home for sale available to everyone
MAKE YOUR HOME FOR SALE AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE As a busy agent here in Las Vegas, I have seen a disturbing trend. Homes are being sold before they get to MLS and often by a buyer being represented by the listing agent. I have represented both parties in a transaction before and I will again in the future, but I will only do it with full disclosure to all parties and only when it's mutually Continue Reading

How long can I stay in my home?
HOW LONG CAN I STAY IN MY HOME? I'm often asked this question when listing a client's home as a short sale. With all of the changes taking place in the short sale market, it's difficult to have a set answer. The answer these days is less time than it was even a a few months ago. The bank that holds the mortgage wants the seller to stay in the home right up until close of escrow. Once we list a Continue Reading
What Should I Do With A Low Offer On My Short Sale Listing?
WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH A LOW OFFER ON MY SHORT SALE LISTING? Short sales are unique in a lot of ways. One way they aren't unique here in Las Vegas is that the bank holding the lien will want fair market value for the home. The lien holder will recognize that they need to offer some discount for the inconvenience, but that discount is usually in the form of buyer closing costs or a couple of Continue Reading
