No doubt about it, the Las Vegas market is heating up again. Even
on Mother’s Day, clients were out looking at homes and making offers, and our
agents are staying BUSY!
Debra Leatham, one of our top agents, just barely managed to sneak
in a combo Mother’s Day Breakfast/birthday celebration for her husband Jim in
the morning. But then she was off to the races for the rest of the week. (Debra
is also a huge race aficionado, so the simile is apt.) Here’s just a brief
snapshot of her week:
1.
Mother’s Day afternoon and evening she was showing
properties all across the Las Vegas Valley, from Mountain’s Edge to Southern
Highlands to Silverado Ranch.
2.
Monday Debra answered literally 100s of emails from
over the weekend, called clients, loan officers and title companies to check statuses
on closings, wrote up a contract for a property in
Mountain’s Edge, and then went to deliver keys to some happy new homeowners
and spent some time celebrating with them.
3.
Tuesday Debra picked up signed short sale documents from a client
at South Point Casino, and then hand delivered those documents to Chicago Title.
That was followed by a “Lunch and Learn” at Southern Fidelity Mortgage. Then
she followed up on the listing status of some homes in Henderson,
and met with Joan Konsdorf, a local property manager and real estate consultant
concerning her search for investment properties for her client from China
4.
On Wednesday Debra met clients from
Park City, Utah looking to purchase a home in the future in Las Vegas. Together they visited homes near China Town
area, then Legacy Golf course properties, and viewed some MacDonald Highlands homes,
finishing off with other properties in the South part of town near the South
Point Casino. She took her clients to dinner at PT Pub (big spenders!) for 1/2
price pizza and beer.
5.
On Thursday morning Debra met another
set of clients and showed more property in Mountains Edge, and wrote an offer
on one of the homes there. She made time for a quick lunch with girlfriends at
Brio in the Town Square and then was off again, delivering outdoor furniture
for a client from Australia to one of the properties that he closed on recently located
near the Las
Vegas Country Club. She also delivered
keys to the property manager for another property her Australian had already
purchased in the Hollywood Hills section of town near the LDS Temple. At the
end of the evening she stopped at RideNow sports, an ATV store, to exchange a
gift from Mother’s day, and pick up a JC Penney card for her husband (belated
birthday gift).
6.
On Friday Debra spent the morning concentrating
on new client follow ups and touched base on an anticipated closing for the sale
of a property
in Calico Ridge. Friday evening she attended a friend’s birthday that will
included dinner at Sonoma Cellar at the Sunset Station Casino and music and
dancing at the Club Fortune in Henderson.
7.
On Saturday Deb was hoping to have
time to do a bit of long overdue yard work (and pouting since the tire on her
ATV been replaced yet so she cannot go back to Overton Trails, in Overton NV.) But duty called, and instead she spent the day
running around with still more clients, writing yet more offers.
So if you think the Las Vegas housing market isn’t busy, think again! This is just one week in the life of one agent, and the rest are just as jammed.
