I feel pretty and witty and bright. If homes could sing I think all of the poor Las Vegas homes that have been sitting vacant for a number of months/years would be singing this song….

If anyone has set foot into a foreclosed home or bought one you know what I’m talking about,,, most of the homes have been torn up.  Toilets are missing or just plain disgusting.  Kitchens have been removed, cabinets removed, no counter tops, no sink.  Appliances stripped of the property. Yards left trashed and dead.  Interior walls written and spit on.

Electrical wires left bare hanging from ceiling fans being yanked down.  Closets have had their shelves removed. 

lLas Vegas neighborhoods left with multiple damaged homes ….

THEN a buyer comes in and purchases a home and this home is brought back to life with a little TLC and of course $$$$$…

The housing community starts to come back to somewhat normal. 

PRETTY again. 

It’s been a long time waiting for some of these Las Vegas homes.

As a RE/MAx agent in Las Vegas we have the opportunity to go up in the RE/MAX balloon.. Weather permitting of course.  I am extremely scared of heights and seriously can’t get any higher than the first few steps on the ladder.  But I got brave one day and decided why not?  Why not get up there and see what it’s like.  So I did.  As part of going up in the balloon you need to be part of the set up and take down part.  So you show up early, usually right as the sun is starting to rise.  The pilot of the balloon instructs you on how and what to do, he then does this thing to fill the balloon up and pretty much after that you get in the basket and go. 

It is so amazing how quite it is when you’re up in the air so high.  It’s so peaceful.  You don’t hear traffic, looking down was a little frightening and if someone in the basket moved an inch I about lost my mind.  But besides that it is so very wonderful. 

If you ever get a chance to go up in a hot air balloon… DO it.  it’s amazing.  The view of the Las Vegas strip and the whole valley was wonderful.

Beautiful home located in the south west of the Las Vegas Valley, it has amazing curb appeal, When you walk through the front door you just know your home.  Tile throughout the downstairs.  Laundry room located upstairs, Master suite has a retreat. Loft upstairs along with 3 bedrooms. Master bath has double sinks upgraded wood cabintry, HUGE roman tub. Watch the video and you will see how wonderful this house is.  Penny O

I am a very aggressve real estate agent, now that the Las Vegas housing market  is in such distress I am even more aggressive and determined to make these short sale listings work.  I love a good challenge. I like to help people get moving (out of their home situation) and moving on with their lives.

I am very powerful and an influential person when it comes to business.  I am very energetic and ambitious, they call me the go-getter.

Seriously, I’m just out there to help as many home owners as I can to help short sale their Las Vegas home.  Give me a call and let’s talk about if short sale is something that may work for you.

Buyers, don’t be afraid to buy a short sale.  You can purchase a wonderful home at a fantastic price. 

One very important factor is to make sure the listing agent knows how to handle short sales and has experience.  if not you can get yourself into a mess and end up losing the house to foreclosure. 
Have a great weekend everyone.

The discription of a turnkey home/property in Las Vegas is a purchase or sale of a home In a condition that is ready for immediate use.

The housing market throughout Las Vegas, Green Valley, North Las Vegas, Summerlin and Henderson has the potential to be a turnkey housing market. One of the problems are with foreclosures,most of the foreclosures  are left in extremely poor condition with water damage and other interior/exterior damages these properties are anything but turnkey ready.

On the other hand short sales properties are more likely to fit the turnkey criteria.  Many people who sell as a short sale do not have any money to do any repairs, nor is it excepted for the seller to do repairs.  But, generally people who have remained living in their homes have cared for them as most home owners do.  So, the chances of you purchasing a turnkey property is highly more likely when purchasing a short sale.

Foreclosured homes sit so long as vacant homes that they lose their turnkey affect.  Toilets are ruined, yards are dead because they have been neglected for months.

I have seen a number of Las Vegan’s moving out of Las Vegas.  I don’t know what the numbers are but I will tell you that one Sunday I spent an hour at a U-Haul company and 7 different people came in to pick up trucks to move out of this town.  I asked almost every one of them where they were going and why? All of them were moving back to where their families live.  To live with family.  Why?  Because they lost their job/jobs and can not make any money here.  Some of these people were blue collar workers, the rest white collar workers.  They told me they truly had no where else to go, but to go sponge off relatives.

And it’s not cheap renting a truck to move away.  Most of these people were spending an average of $1500 to move.  I don’t think that included the gas/diesel.  And none of them were happy about having to leave Las Vegas. 

The only thing I could honestly share with them is what a older gentlemen told me when I first moved to Las Vegas.  He had asked me where I moved here from?  I told him Iowa and he continued to tell me that ”most everyone that will move out of Las Vegas ends up coming back to live in Las Vegas”.  I found that to be very interesting.  That was 11 years ago that this gentlemen shared that with me.  I could only pass on the message from him to all the people that day who were moving away.
