Las Vegas Foreclosures
The First Step In Finding The Right Foreclosure Home
Las Vegas is the nuclear epicenter of foreclosure homes in North America. As a busy buyer's agent I often work more then 12 hours a day, seven days a week and It's always amusing to hear potential out-of-state buyers inform me how it works here in Las Vegas compared to where they are from.
Let me explain. 99% of the properties we work with are bank owned. The banks will not even look at an offer from a buyer unless they submit evidence that they can purchase the home/condo. Because of the way things are now, you will be required to show proof of funds before you can get up to 50-70% off of 2007 values; on top of that, any home I would show you today will be sold in a very short time so you need to be up and ready to purchase a property.
The solution: If you are from out of town or even if you live in Las Vegas, before you start house hunting you will need to determine how much home you can afford by getting pre-qualified.This goes for cash buyers as well...as a cash buyer you will need to be able to show proof of funds sitting in a bank, 401K Etc....Financial institution. The best way to proof up funds is to print out your bank statement, black out all the sensitive information but leave your name and address on the print out and either scan and email or fax (702-933-8444) to my attention.
While getting pre-approved is a more in-depth process, a pre-approval letter lets both real estate agents and sellers know that you're a serious buyer and now you are armed and ready to negotiate the best deal possible on a foreclosure property - Call 702-518-6269 to get started on this.

The Second Step Is Preparing The Offer
A major key in succeeding with foreclosures is anticipating where the bank needs to be in the transaction and performing the most recent 30 day market analysis of all homes sold in the selected neighborhood that you want to purchase in order to not overpay for a property.
The ultimate goal though is to get your offer accepted and see your real estate transaction thru all the way to the close of escrow. My strength and expertise as a experienced Las Vegas real estate agent consists of negotiating your offer with the bank while developing, educating and protecting your best interests at the same time.
Any agent in Las Vegas can write an offer on a home (getting the offer accepted is another thing). Here are a few examples of what distinguishes Steve Harless when you appoint him as your real estate agent.
