EXPECTATIONS Here I go again, expecting those around me to live up to my standards. I just don’t understand why my friends and family so often let me down by not acting the way I want them to. What a disappointment! Why are they not more like me! Think like me! Of course I am being a “little” over dramatic. But the truth of the matter is, we all from time to time are disappointed in those closest Continue Reading

Above & Beyond! A Great Testimonial Received By Blankfeld Group
Dear Mr. Blankfeld, I don’t often write “testimonial” letters but now feel compelled to do so as a result of my recent experience with one of your colleagues, Tish Gonzales.

I contacted Tish and outlined to her my list of very particular requirements, at the same time explaining to her that I had a very limited Continue Reading
The Season Begins
THE SEASON BEGINS April is a month of change for many reasons. Most obvious is the annual weather adjustment from the bitterness of the cold and absence of color to the gentle nighttime temperatures, which bring the overnight explosion of the flowering fruit trees. For those of us that are homeowners, it is now that we prepare our checklists for those minor repairs that have been put on hold Continue Reading
Full Circle
FULL CIRCLE It was only 16 years ago that I relocated to the Las Vegas area. I feel like a native resident that has experienced a lifetime of changes to their once quaint town.

Just a few years forward in time the frenzy had started with values soaring Continue Reading

The “Short Sale & “Foreclosure” Bubble
THE "SHORT SALE & FORECLOSURE" BUBBLE I’m writing to let everyone know it might be the right time to let the bubble burst. Open your search for the “American Dream” and consider a new home. Most builders struggle in the end of the year to “make the numbers.” This means getting rid of their inventory homes and getting them off the books. Quite a bit of builders will be giving some great Continue Reading
Short Sale Appraisals
SHORT SALE APPRAISALS We are seeing a recurring issue in trying to close deals when there is a third party approval required (Short Sale). The lender (servicer, investor, MI company, etc) is countering the offer with an inflated value on the property. When we challenge the counter by pointing out that the comparable properties don't support their inflated counter offer the lender invariably Continue Reading

October Market Conditions
OCTOBER MARKET CONDITIONS Inventory is increasing due to a growing number of REO's (Foreclosures) in our market. Activity has fallen off since the tax credit has expired. Las Vegas home prices are holding steady but we believe that prices may fall over the next several months. This is because inventory continues to grow and activity continues to decrease as heading to the holiday season. Short Continue Reading
