Buyers have a lot of choices in today’s market and probably the most important decision is picking the right company to represent your best interests. Many of our clients give us feedback and the number one answer is experience in the Las Vegas market. Most clients want a Realtor that is full time and knows the foreclosure market well. Las Vegas is still at the top in foreclosures around the nation. The reason is because we were the fastest growing city in the nation for many years and the investors saw Las Vegas as the place to buy. A large percentage of the investors bought homes with little or no money down and when the bottom fell out, and they could not sell, they walked away. The banks had to foreclose and much to their dismay were forced into the real estate business. We will see more foreclosures over the next several years but we do feel that the prices will steadily increase. Supply and demand will dictate the prices as well as the interest rates. We are seeing current increases in activity that has been sparked by the news that interest rates are expected to increase shortly. Here are a few reasons why you need professional help in your quest for one of these great bargains.

• We are one of the few Real Estate companies in Las Vegas that are considered experts in foreclosure pricing.
• We have a working relationship with many of the banks. They pay us for our Broker price opinions, (BPO’s).
• Since we help set prices, we know what offers are more likely to get accepted.
• The object of writing an offer is to get the property at the best price that gets accepted.
• The offers that actually get accepted are the ones that work for the seller.
• Remember, the banks are taking a loss, don’t rub salt in their wounds.
• Remember the golden rule; “take some and leave some”.
• You will need an expert to write the offer. If your offer does not look professional, it will not be taken seriously.
• An experienced agent will not get you into a bidding war.
• Stay in your price range and have fun.
