Trip to Las Vegas

I just won a trip to Las Vegas because of my Real Estate sales from last year! I sold around $10,000,000 (million) in sales in 2006 and they said it was a correction year!.
I have never been to Vegas so this was my first time. I never realized how much walking I would do. We were put up at the Mandalay Bay what a great hotel reminded me of the Atlantis Hotel in the Bahamas. I was warned there would be some walking but not like. It was basically a 1/4 mile from the lobby to the conference rooms each time. so you figure once in the morning, lunch and dinner and then back for the evening events.

The first day I got there it was 10 am their time 1pm my time. We all ended staying up 28 hours between the time change the parties.

The next 2 days we went to seminars which were very informative and good way to jazz the new year up. I took my brand new camera along to test it out so here are the results of my stay in Las Vegas.

3 Universal Truths about The Perfect Hue

What does your favorite color say about you? 3 Universal Truths about picking paint.
1
Color is the leasr expensive way to transform living space. A well chosen color can either calm the room or invigorate the space.

2
There is NO such thing as bad color! There are only likes and dislikes. Color is like spice to food adding zest.
Cool hues such as blue, violet and green are calming and relaxing. Pick these colors for reading rooms, bedrooms and rooms for contemplation.
Warmer hues such as red, yello and orange are energetci, playful colors. Use these in dining rooms, living rooms, working areas and kitchens.
Keep in mind the intensity of the color can invert the color's effect. While a pastel blue can be quiet and relaxing, bright turquoise can be loud an stimulating.

3
Never let color guidelines limit choices. If Red is your favorite color, then go ahead drench your bedroom with it. The payoff is that the mood boost you'll get will compensate it's limited calming effect. Don't shy away from mixing colors , just make sure they complement one another when going from room to room or the colors are carried in any form in the other rooms. For example if your dining room is red and adjacent is your living room have something red in the living, a lamp shade, pillow, piece of furniture and if your living room is blue then have something carried over in the dining that may have something blue such as drapes, tablecloth etc. When you prefer neutrals be sure to accent them with burnt orange, black, brown, red, green or gold so as to avoid monotony.

An Irish Blessing

May you always have walls for the winds, a roof for the rain,
tea beside the fire, laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,
and all your heart might desire.

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and, Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

May you have love that never ends,
lots of money, and lots of friends.
Health be yours, whatever you do,
and may God send many blessings to you!

May the sun shine, all day long,
everything go right, and nothing wrong.
May those you love bring love back to you,
and may all the wishes you wish come true!

May your feet never sweat,
your neighbor give you ne're a treat.
When flowers bloom, I hope you'll not sneeze,
and may you always have someone to sqeeze!

The Best Just Got Better!!!
Now more than ever I am ready to serve you and your needs in Real Estate. The conference has helped to regenerate me and help serve you better.So Let me know what is going on with you. Where do you stand regarding real estate? Have you set it aside? Have you purchased already? If so, what did I not do right by you? What could I have or do better for your needs? I am very interested in hearing the good, the bad and the ugly. That is the only way my services can be better for you.
Also just got back from the Otteau seminar, a prominent market analyst for Real Estate. What he put into words backs up my statistics on my website.
The market is gearing for a recovery! Slow and Steady. The next 90 days will be the best time to purchase because everything is level. The interest rates are still the BEST IN 35 YEARS! The prices have leveled.
January and February has already seen a 5% to 10% increase in activity. Yes there is alot of inventory however, what this means to you is that when the house is NOT overpriced it will go quickly.
For Sellers, right now is the time to price your house by looking at YOUR lowest price competitor on the market and underpricing them. Statisitics have shown that when you do that you will sell quickly within around 50 days and at around 97% of your asking price. If you set your price high, then you will be on the market longer and when you do sell you will get about 94% of your asking price. So PRICING is still an issue.
For Buyers, right now is a good time because the rates are still at an all time low, the prices have leveled out and there is alot to choose from, however because the market has become active, sellers are becoming much firmer at their asking price. Bargain Hunting is NOT an option now.Right Pricing for both Seller and Buyer is the buzz.
No longer interested in getting MLS updates or emails from me please let me know and I will do my best to get you off all of MY lists. I DO NOT sell, rent or give your names out to others, because I have many websites and databases it takes me a while to get you deleted so please be patient I will do as you ask.
Thank you for staying loyal with me and allowing me to help you with your real estate needs.
