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

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 fluctuations in the real estate market have gone full circle. In 1995 we saw nominal appreciation with reasonable value to entice the newcomer. Just a few years forward in time the frenzy had started with values soaring Continue Reading

It means several things, but mainly according to Continue Reading

Old Fashioned Real Estate Sales
OLD FASHIONED REAL ESTATE SALES I am between visitors at an open house. I am reminded that Real Estate is still a service industry. As Realtors we must remember that just because it's a short sale or an REO doesn't mean we should give any less service. I attended a Town Hall meeting recently and people are very concerned about selling their homes in this market. They have been besieged with all Continue Reading
