Las Vegas Foreclosures: Targeted Research Has Never Been Easier

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

The Michelle Sterling Las Vegas Real Estate website has been thoroughly redesigned to focus on the market for Las Vegas Foreclosures in a new and improved way. Website visitors can now target their foreclosure research based on valley-wide price brackets, specific Las Vegas neighborhoods or a combination of the two criteria. The market for Las Vegas condo foreclosures and Las Vegas townhome foreclosures is priced very aggressively in the current environment and these properties make excellent vacation homes. The new design of the Michelle Sterling website allows you to search for the best foreclosure opportunities in these specific residential categories, while also targeting specific price brackets. Please bear in mind that every search conducted on our market leading website provides the full range of choices available in the entire Las Vegas MLS database, unlike other Internet real estate portals.

The wealth of opportunity currently available in the market for Las Vegas foreclosure homes is truly extraordinary. The Michelle Sterling Team is working every day with Buyers from all over the country (and the world) that recognize long-term residential real estate value in the most dynamic and exciting city in the world. These savvy Las Vegas investors just cannot resist today’s prices for Las Vegas homes and feel confident about the potential for long-term appreciation in value.

Las Vegas Real Estate: International Investors

Monday, October 20th, 2008

Due to the mortgage banking crisis that the United States has been enduring for over a year now, lenders have tightened their financing guidelines tremendously. Not only is it harder for a US Citizen to obtain mortgage financing in this new environment, International investors (with the exception of Canadians) can no longer obtain loans from mainstream US lenders for residential real estate in any circumstance we are aware of.

The Las Vegas real estate market is full of opportunity for savvy buyers that understand long-term value. Our prices have literally plunged over the last 18 months and the bank foreclosure market is especially attractive. The “big picture” economic prospects for Las Vegas, Nevada going forward are not at all in doubt, despite the immediate situation. Smart money from all over the world is pouring in to take advantage of deeply discounted residential properties while they still exist.

Should you be in the market for Las Vegas real estate on a cash basis, I can assure you that the Michelle Sterling Team will provide the most comprehensive Buyer Representation available in Southern Nevada. Our in-depth knowledge of the bank foreclosure market is especially advantageous to you as you seek to maximize your opportunities.

Thank you so much for visiting our market-leading website and reading our blog.

Las Vegas and Southwest Airlines: The Partnership Continues to Grow!

Monday, October 13th, 2008

At a time when other businesses in general, and airlines in particular, continue to pull back and hunker down, Southwest Airlines continues to expand their opportunities in the Las Vegas market. The latest example of this approach comes in the form of a new agreement with Canada’s WestJet Airlines. Southwest is already the high-volume leader at McCarran Airport with about 230 daily round trips and 1 million passengers a month in and out. How do Canadians feel about traveling to Las Vegas? We are already the busiest US destination for WestJet and the new Southwest agreement is sure to boost passenger volume even higher. The new agreement should be fully operational in the air by late 2009.

Considering the number of Canadian buyers that are currently active in the Las Vegas real estate market, the new Southwest-WestJet combination has a bright future. The Michelle Sterling Team is currently working with vacation-home hunters from every Canadian province that can’t resist our incredibly low prices. Those planes are going to be full.

Buyer Representation for New Las Vegas Homes

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

I spoke to a client recently that was determined to strike out on his own in the new construction market. He just didn’t see the need for my services when the new home sales office was readily at his disposal with agents on duty to answer his questions and serve his needs. Here was my response to his point of view…

Thank you for your inquiry about brand new homes in Las Vegas. I have extensive experience representing clients in the market for new construction all across Southern Nevada and I look forward to working on your behalf.

Please keep in mind that my representation on your behalf is a critical component in obtaining the best possible deal on your new home. The community you have expressed interest in has a sales office that is staffed with real estate agents that work for the builder. It is their job to obtain the best possible terms for the builder of the home…..who of course is also the seller.

My job is to negotiate aggressively on your behalf to obtain the best possible terms for you. My services are completely FREE to you because my fees are paid by the seller. It is illegal for the builder to give you a better deal if you don’t have proper representation, so don’t worry about that one bit. My knowledge of your chosen community, and others like it, is extensive and continually updated, so I can challenge the seller to improve upon selling terms in ways that you may never think of yourself.

Lastly, don’t forget that new home builders in Las Vegas are forced to compete for Buyers every day with banks that are selling foreclosed homes, often nearly new themselves, at very aggressive prices. I will bring this research to bear as well when I negotiate the best possible price with the builder whose product you have shown interest in.

I’m sure you’ll agree that my services are both extensive and necessary as you seek to obtain the most house for the money in what can truly be called a “buyers market” !!
