Modern Conveniences May Not Be So Convenient
In real estate, we have come to rely on our computers and our cell phones to facilitate our business and respond quickly to our buyers and sellers. Sometimes, they let us down and we are lost!! Last week, an agent wanted to show one of my listings without a lockbox. It is in a highrise so we need gate clearance and access through the concierge to lead the agent to the right elevator. The agent 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. The offer was either accepted, rejected, or countered in a timely manner. Everyone knew what was going on and the clients viewed the agents as professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. Now that banks control a large portion of our Continue Reading
Are Short Sales Becoming a Way of Life?
As a Realtor here in Las Vegas, it occurs to me that Short Sales will be a part of our market for a long time to come. Better than 65% of homeowners here in the valley are at a negative equity position in their home and they will be in a situation sometime in the next few years that they will need to sell their home. That means they will either need to write a substantial check upon selling Continue Reading

Sahara Ave., #100 Las Vegas, NV, 89117 Harvey, Christina & Administrative Staff: I wanted to write this letter now that I have had some time to reflect on the sale of our property on Pine Leaf.

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. Most specifically, I wish that our hearts remain filled with the spirit of the holidays past, and that we continue to show peace and understanding in our Continue Reading
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
