LAS VEGAS STRIP GOES DARK.....Sat night 8:30 pm...1 hour...Earth Hour..Vote Earth!

WOW! This will be a sight to see..or Not!

Do your part and share in the hour long darkness.  Don't be afraid-It is only 1 hour!!

If Vegas can do it you can too!

Can you go cold turkey for 1 hour with No Lights, Tv, Computer or Radio?  Great challenge.

THIS SATURDAY 28 MARCH AT 8.30PM YOU CAN VOTE EARTH BY SWITCHING OFF YOUR LIGHTS FOR ONE HOUR - EARTH HOUR.

Earthhour.org

Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome's Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.

In Las Vegas, it will seem like someone flipped the city's light switch to "off" because the list of participants in the Earth Hour event includes almost every major business and hotel along the Strip. The presumed "brightest spot on Earth" will plunge into darkness this coming Saturday....read more...No more neon..

Las Vegas Realtor helps show Renters How to Find Out if Home is in Foreclosure/Default/Breach....

Over the past few weeks I have been spending more time in the field, walking neigborhoods leaving my card, doing bpos and assisting a few on loan modifications.  

While doing that, I've had a few people (renters) ask me or call me after I left my card at their door and ask me if the home was in foreclosure and most recently I was doing a bpo for a bank and as I was taking the exteriors, and the renter came out and ask the same question.

I explained to them how to check out via the county websites on this, and a few of them did know but most did not so I thought I would put these links here so if anyone needs to check on it they can.  I also think this would be a good idea for a prospective renter to check this on the home they may be thinking of moving into.

1.  Go to Clark County Assessor page .. type in the address,  just street # and street name should do it then hit submit (tip: don't put in the word street or ave etc as it won't work, just the street name)

EXAMPLE.....M.W. Schofield, Assessor

Parcel number inquiry - search by Location Address

2.  This will take you to the next page, a list of address, yours should be the first one, click on it, it takes you to the next page....Real Property Parcel Record.. you are looking for the PARCEL #..

EXAMPLE

write down that #........

3. Now in a new browser go to the County Recorders site, here you want to go to where it says parcelNum then enter in the parcel # you wrote down...(TIP: you must leave out the dash..so just type the numbers in no space or dash

Legal Descriptions:
   ParcelNumSubdivisionLot NumberSurvey CertBlockUnit NumberTownshipRangeSectionMap 

Now go Click on where it says DETAIL Data           

Now you will see this page come up with Web Services Detailed Data Results and a bunch of info will show below...

what will be of most interest is if a Notice of Default, Notice of Breach or a Notice of Trustee Sale has been reocorded

EXAMPLE:

If you see a Notice of Trustee Sale.....Google the Trustee's name and you may be able to contact them to find out when the sale date is.

Most of the time the sale date is about 20-30 days from the recorded Trustee Sale date...so if you are renting and you see this,,,make plans to move.

In the past 2 months I have seen a few lenders delaying the trustee sale, but if you are a renter, you don't want to take a chance on a last minute eviction, so plan accordingly.

I hope you find this info useful.

What is Loan Modification?

A loan modification is where a loan's payment plan is changed, due to the hardship of the borrower (homeowner).

This usually may include changes to the rate, the term and the monthly payment amounts.

The purpose is to Help the HOMEOWNER STAY in their home at an AFFORDABLE mortgage payment.

Getting a Loan Modification negociated, processed and approved (restructured) is not a short process.

It REQUIRES time, effort,  patience and complete honesty and cooperation of you the borrower and the lender.

You MUST be able to prove to your lender that you can and will be able to make your new "modified" mortgage payment.
If you can't or won't be able to make them, you may want to consider doing a short sale on the home.

RJ's..TRIP OF THE WEEK: Death Valley's wildflower show should be better than usual

MY SPIN ON IT:::

Death Valley is a very unique place to visit,,,,I just would not advise you doing it in the summer as I did in the first year I moved to Vegas. 

My first summer here was a big change coming from Florida and since we thought we may only be here a short time,,,(that was over 10 years ago now), we crammed a lot in that summer, Red Rock, Valley of Fire, Zion,,,,again,,,,I loved them,,,,but again July and August were not the best months to be there in my experience. 

Mt Charleston's peaks were a great place to go though as the temperature is usually quite a bit cooler, a nice treat in the heat of the summer. Great place to have a picnic with family and friends, play frisbee in the field, take a hike and just and overall great place to CHILL for the day! Try Mary Jane Falls if you have a desire to hike up to a waterfall.  Carry some water as it is quite a hike up those switchbacks.

Enjoy!
