The meaning of the word "contingent" with regard to a real estate sale has changed dramatically over the years. Originally, when I first started selling real estate the term "contingent" was used when the house was sold "contingent on the buyer selling his existing home". These buyers could be "bumped" from the transaction by a buyer without a home to sell. There was usually a "first right of Continue Reading

Professionalism in Short Sales
Years ago, when the world was in balance and real estate agents were in step with each other, an offer was written for a client and then presented to the seller.

Selling Your Home: A Story With Many Lessons To Teach
This is a true story about a client who recently sold their house that they had lived in for many years. It is on first reflection a sad story. But I would ask you not to hastily judge the circumstances and possibly miss another one of those life lessons. My client’s house was more than just a house in a lovely gated community of Las Vegas. I always viewed this property as a “home” proudly Continue Reading
“A New Year Wish Revisited”
I wanted to share this message of hope and happiness from 2007; I believe it is as appropriate as when it was published. I am departing from my usual series of minute sophisms to wish all my clients and friends a year of prosperity and peace.

The Real Estate Downturn: Where Do We Go From Here?
It is amazing that such a tough year for real estate actually flew by in the blink of an eye (with a tear in it, though)! Now it's 2010 and we all wonder what is in store for buyers, sellers, banks, and lenders. In uncertain times, those that maintain a steady course are the survivors. Real estate agents have been weeded out by natural selection of the finest and fittest. Staying on top of new Continue Reading
