Las Vegas, NV - March 1, 2012 - (RealEstateRama) -- There are NO attorneys who specialize in short sales; however, there are plenty of attorneys who specialize in taking your money. Homeowners considering short sales are welcome to speak with a lawyer to discuss their options, however, YOU MUST BE CAREFUL.

In the event the bank decides to come after you, then you will need to hire an attorney for a potentially expensive lawsuit. While there are many respectable and ethical attorneys out there, you must educate yourself and not place your unconditional faith in someone who stands to make a handsome profit should you get sued. If the attorney fails to get your short sale approved, you are left vulnerable and may need additional legal protection

LAS VEGAS, NV - August 22, 2011 - (RealEstateRama) -- In today’s economy, every penny counts. The Myers Team with the Caliber Realty Group recognizes that there are many homeowners in Las Vegas who still have equity and do NOT need to do a short sale. While real estate commissions are negotiable, the fact remains that most real estate companies still charge a 6% commission to sell your home, even though Las Vegas home values have depreciated by 50% or more. Additionally, many Brokers feel it is acceptable to charge a “transaction fee” on top of the commission (a.k.a. document fees, storage fees, compliance fees, etc.) and these fees can range anywhere from $400.00 – $700.00. Why pay top dollar to sell your home when you can get BETTER SERVICE, BETTER MARKETING and BETTER RESULTS for less?
