Kudos to Our Preferred Partners
John Ingram of New American Funding just closed a loan for a longtime client of mine in record time.... AND with a contingency on the sale of his current home AND a transfer of funds from one escrow to the other! New American funded the loan almost simultaneously once our first buyer's loan had funded! This allowed both transactions to close by 1 PM on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. The Continue Reading
ANOTHER BIG NUMBER- AN ASKING PRICE THAT IS TOO HIGH!
My background prior to my 25 year real estate career was in the field of education. I was always going to be a teacher and got my degree in French from the University of Nevada, Reno. When I got into real estate in 1986, I was told teachers were generally successful in this field and it made sense to me. Buying or selling a house is an educational process. The terminology and the processes are Continue Reading
THE BIG NUMBER….THE REAL ESTATE COMMISSION
Recently, I placed a home on the market for a 65 year old single man who is about to retire. I have known him for over 20 years but only represented him once in a real estate transaction. He was the buyer so the home seller paid the real estate commission in that transaction. However, he has bought and sold many properties over the years. I checked on the sales prices in his neighborhood and 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
