     I don't think it is any secret that Las Vegas is the poster boy (or is it girl) for the sub-prime mortgage market as well as the crash in residential real estate.  The national news is be-crying the fact that home prices nationwide have dropped an average of about 20%.  Ours have dropped thr...

     I can't believe it!  I am finally starting to hear some positive stories coming out of the national media regarding the Las Vegas real estate market.  Over the past few days, I have heard stories from at least two different sources about how sales here have been increasing consistently for m...

     As someone who has been selling real estate for many years now, I am proud of my profession.  I am proud because I know the level of integrity and ethics exhibited by the vast majority of real estate licensees.  But, I am afraid that if you conduct a poll which asks the average citizen about...

     Who is number one in a real estate transaction, the seller or the buyer?  I am not talking about the fiduciary responsibility that every real estate agent has to their client.  I am talking about who should be queen (or king) of the transaction.  If you are selling shoes, the store manager o...

      Las Vegas is in the process of gearing up for the worlds largest block party.  Actually, it is block after block after block after block.......         New Year's Eve is the only night of the year you can't take in the lights of the fabulous strip by driving it's length.  The reason for thi...

      If you have ever visited Las Vegas, the first stop is always the famous--or maybe I should say infamous--Las Vegas Boulevard, better known as "the Strip".  When you leave (if you leave), you do so with the certainty that you have just witnessed a locale like none other on the face of the ea...

The past couple of days have been a shock for someone who has become acclimated to the Las Vegas winter.  It actually snowed here.  Not only that, it actually stuck on the ground.  While snow on an evergreen tree might produce more realistic reminisences of Christmases past than snow on top of a ...

I keep hearing on the national media that the housing market is in a nose dive.  Talk about a self-fulfilling prophesy.  I don't particularly like the expression that "all real estate is local" because there are national factors that are going to impact the market nationwide.  But, how much impac...
