APPRAISALS ARE COMING IN AGAIN You may remember my rant some time a go about appraisals hindering the ability of regular home owners to purchase a home. Well, don't let it be said that I don't give credit where credit is due. We are seeing appraisers do their job properly and allowing values to increase so regular home buyers can buy again. There is still the odd exception, but generally we are 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

Some of them have more twists and turns than others and there is no better feeling than when we see the weight come of the shoulders of our clients when we finally close.

Will you be kicking yourself 5 years from now for not buying a home?
WILL YOU BE KICKING YOURSELF 5 YEARS FROM NOW FOR NOT BUYING A HOME? I remember the days in 2003, 2004 and 2005 when buyers were all saying, "I wish I would have bought in 2000". Now we all know that the market got extremely overheated and prices went nuts. I'm not hoping for that market again, but I am seeing signs of improvement in our market and I wonder if we aren't at a point when in 4-5 Continue Reading

Will The New Legislation Put A Freeze on Foreclosures?
WILL THE NEW LEGISLATION PUT A FREEZE ON FORECLOSURES? We have all heard the doom and gloom being espoused about AB284.

It asks them to provide a sworn affidavit and other elements with the intention of preventing incorrect and illegal foreclosures. The banks pushed back hard against this bill, but to 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
What About This Market?
WHAT ABOUT THIS MARKET? I truly enjoy my work. I enjoy getting my sellers the highest possible check at close of escrow and I enjoy finding my buyers a great home and getting them a great deal. I also enjoy talking about my work. Whenever anyone finds out that I'm a Realtor, they invariably have questions for me.
