Educate Yourself and Your Clients About the Las Vegas Real Estate Market.  Adjusting to the real estate market is critical to a successful real estate business.  Now more than ever it is essential to stay informed and updated on the trends, statisitics and historical data impacting our real estate market.  Have you updated your Listing and Buyer Presentations with this critical information?  Are you comfortable explaining the real estate market and helping your seller price their property to sell?

Current supply and demand clearly shows that active listing inventory is approximately 14% overpriced on average - educating real estate agents and sellers to this point is a process and the issue at hand.  The good news - we are seeing signs of increased buyer activity and sales.  Of course the strong Las Vegas economy and job growth also supports a recovery hopefully sooner rather than later compared to other markets in the country.
