So it's halfway through summer, any maybe you've heard that the market is up. Maybe you've decided that now you want to get on that wagon and sell your home. Here's a few tips that I've picked up to determine if and when you might want/need to sell.

Typically June seems to be the busiest month, but lately, its trending into July and August. However, now being late July do you wonder if its too late?

It might not be, especially in Vegas where Summer seems to drag on through to October! If you do decide to list your home right now, make sure you play up on the summer features. 

  • Pool. If you have a pool, make sure it's working, free of debris and add some chairs around the area to make it inviting. With peak temps at over 100, most of the time, all I hear is the word pool. If it's ready for move in, that attracts more buyers.
  • Continue to focus on the outdoors. If you have a patio, make sure it's clean and add furniture, bright colored pillows. Set the stage for an inviting retreat that buyers can be excited about sharing with their friends and family.
  • AC. Keep it cool. I always say if you can, lower it a few degrees because when it's hot outside, they will want to be inside. Inside means more time in your home! 
  • Make it bright! This goes along with the AC, lowering it because doors will be opening, people coming in  and out. Open the shades, blinds, everywhere! If you know people are coming, I recommend every light now and window open. At least while they are there. 
Didn't sell in time for the Summer, or you think it may be too late? Have no fear! I believe that Fall is right behind summer. Some of the best Fall selling pros to name a few beat out summer in my opinion sometimes.
  • Families travel during summer. Now that school is almost in session, they may be home and ready to start looking before the big holidays. 
  • The kids are back in school already, so they have more time to devote to looking for a home.
  • Some buyers just don't want the bidding war of summer and will wait it out until the market slows.
Whatever the preference, you have to make sure that it works for you and work with an agent that can help you and that you trust. If you have any questions about buying or selling, feel free to contact me today! 702.285.7307 or sellwithstephanie@yahoo.com. 

Now as an agent, a lot of times I get asked to find several things. Find a safe neighborhood, find energy efficient, privacy from other homes. (This one happens a little more because of our housing boom out here; homes are within 10 feet!). I get it all! I finally found a solution to all of these to ease the minds of my clients, tinting. 

Now it's safe to say, as long as your state allows, you've tinted you car windows. Privacy and in the summer, keeping that heat out. But, have you thought, maybe I should tint my house? I can safely say, it crossed my mind, even being an agent but I never REALLY looked into it. I wish I would have sooner. 

Over the last week, I had my personal residence tinted. The difference in one day, is night & day. My house felt cooler within hours in the middle of summer. Now if you live in Vegas, summers are excruciating, but most people don't think about this option. I'll say from my own personal experience, my husband and I reached out to someone that we know that has tinted our cars for a VERY long time. Every car I've ever had, he has tinted, same goes for my husband. Not just one or two but between the two of us, we like our toys and about 10-11 cars later, we decided why not try the house. 

Not only is it adding privacy, but it's helping decrease our energy bill. Again, in Vegas, this is something that doesn't come lightly. We want lower energy bills, especially in the summer and I'm not ready to spend $30,000 in solar just yet! According to Accentrick Tint, we can reduce our energy bills by up to 44% for the year! Who doesn't love being efficient and cost-effective!

Now on to my safety. They also offer a security tint. If you've never seen this, you need to look into it!  Here's a few positives:

•   Security tint prevents burglars from entering your home or office through the most vulnerable part of your building, which is the glass.
•   Reduces your monthly insurance rates.
•   Protects your assets, family from harm, and reduces your yearly energy bills.

So we've got energy reducing, privacy and safety all very cost effective! Like I mentioned, we had Accentrick Tint do our personal residence, he does our cars, and one day, if(and when) I get that big office building of my own, I'm have them do that as well. They offer vehicles, residential and commercial. I wouldn't sit here and brag about if I didn't actually try it out for myself and now that I have, I highly recommend reaching out to them! They do offer free estimates, so call today and get going.

After a cool 12 days on the market, we are in contract with this southwest home. The market in Las Vegas is picking up and just like the summer, it is hot! In this now much more stable market I have clients moving up, downsizing, investing and becoming first time home buyers! 

This cute home had 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bath and just over 2200 sq. ft. A corner lot with a 2 car attached garage, under $250,000, I didn't expect it to last long!

For each of my listings, my goal is to gain the most exposure for each listing across the web. With many buyers first searching to the internet to locate the home, it is imperative to have each listing the most publicity. I offer a property website for each individual property, helping market them individually to gain even more personal interest. Each seller has access to that site and can view the status, views and anything else important to the listing. With blogs, social media, and several real estate websites, it's important to be top of mind to stay in the game.

If you're looking to buy or sell, contact me today.

This morning, I decided that I would get balloons to put on my open house signs before I put them out. Bad idea. I popped more than I saved. They got tangled up in my trunk, it was just a mess. I definitely need a different approach for how to put balloons on signs, or maybe I should try something else such as flags... that don't get tangled. Who knows.




What draws you to go see an open house from the signs? Have any good tips, let me know! 

Thinking of buying or selling, call me today! 702-285-7307

Another listing in Southwest!

Another home in Southwest listed!  A corner lot, this 3 bedroom plus loft and 2.5 bathroom home is located in the desirable southwest. Included 2 car attached finished garage, remodeled last year, all this home needs is a new owner. Just at 2,205 square feet, and under $250,000, this home is listed right in the hot spot of the market.

Once uncommon in the Las Vegas Market, the traditional sale requires special skills from the other types of transactions.  In the Las Vegas real estate market there is relatively low inventory, with a little over 5,000 single family homes for sale on any given day. Because of the intense competition in the Las Vegas Market, it is essential to work with an agent who is devoted and able to answer and questions through the entire process.

 As a native to Las Vegas, I am very familiar with the areas and communities and have the knowledge to bring in all prospective buyers. I have extensive customer service background, and passion to sell homes, I prefer to build relationships and trust for each transaction.With my tech savvy marketing, I try to gain the most exposure for each listing across the web. With many buyers first searching to the internet to locate the home, it is imperative to have each listing the most publicity.
