Las Vegas Realtor Summerlin Real Estate Agent with Remax Penny O'Brien http://www.pennysproperties.com/blog Just another WordPress weblog Fri, 16 Oct 2009 21:56:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 en Las Vegan’s suffering losses due to work or their homes turn to Doctors for help. http://www.pennysproperties.com/blog/2009/10/16/las-vegans-suffering-losses-turn-to-doctors-for-help/ http://www.pennysproperties.com/blog/2009/10/16/las-vegans-suffering-losses-turn-to-doctors-for-help/#comments Fri, 16 Oct 2009 21:27:50 +0000 Penny O'Brien http://www.pennysproperties.com/blog/?p=404 A long with depression and sadness people are experiencing in the Las Vegas housing market a fear of panic if I may say.  I’m not a cilnical Dr. but I see what is happening behind closed doors for many Vegan’s. 

People whom I’ve know for a number of years who very rarely drank alcohol are starting to drink.  Home owners men and women are seeking anti-depressants because they can not deal with what is happening here.  People are scared of losing their jobs. People are losing their jobs, People are losing their homes to short sale, foreclosure, bankruptcy, or by being kicked out of a home that they were renting and now has gone to auction or foreclosed on.  Domestic violence is up too.

It’s a shame that we are in this boat that is sinking.  I take listings on a daily basis.And I will tell you that the heart ache, shame, embarrassment, and anger is very sad.  So many times I leave the listing and just think to myself how can this be happening to so many people?  I heard the other day that 8 out of 10 home owners will be removed from their residence due to this housing crisis.

We all need to support each other more than ever and understand that you are not alone in this situation.  It is a unavoidable situation for many people to be in but it can and will get better. 

Remember your home is just four walls and stuff to hold it in place.  You can make your home anywhere you want and move forward with life.

I feel pretty, oh so pretty…….. http://www.pennysproperties.com/blog/2009/10/16/singing-homes-in-las-vegas-nv-i-feel-pretty-oh-so-pretty/ http://www.pennysproperties.com/blog/2009/10/16/singing-homes-in-las-vegas-nv-i-feel-pretty-oh-so-pretty/#comments Fri, 16 Oct 2009 21:20:22 +0000 Penny O'Brien http://www.pennysproperties.com/blog/?p=401 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.

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.

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.
