Welcome to the Neighborhood!
Readers who have loyally followed my blog on LasVegasAdvisor.com or our Top 10 website know my style. I tell stories about my clients, and I hope that readers will learn more about the Las Vegas real estate market through the experiences of other buyers and sellers. I may include a little glimpse into who I am, but I focus on the stories that matter – the homebuyer or seller, the pain of losing your family home, the joy of buying a new home, the most recent real estate scams to beware of.
Throughout the past few years, I’ve had the good fortune to meet some of my readers from across the country – they call me when they are considering a real estate move, or when it’s snowing where they live. I’ve made some lasting friendships, and I’m happy to say I’ve introduced some of my buyers who are new in town to my clients who already live here. So those buyers and sellers that I’ve met face-to-face know who I am.
Today I thought I’d give you a little glimpse into Neighborhood Realty.
My agents and I are located in the southwest area of Las Vegas, just south of the 215. While we call the southwest home, we continue to serve the entire valley as we’ve done since the inception of our Top 10 values. We’ll be rolling out our updated website soon, and I’ve been holding off on promoting my brokerage until this is ready. But today I thought it might be fun to give loyal readers and those who use Top 10 for a resource a quick glimpse of who I am, and early snapshots of my brokerage.
I have been a top-producing agent in the Las Vegas area for some time, always “hanging my license” with other brokers. Some readers remember me from my days with American Realty, Realty One Group, or most recently Sellstate NRES. I moved to Sellstate after meeting with owner Mike Krein, an REO broker and visionary who’s years of experience in selling bank-owned homes provided even better knowledge and resources for my clients. But growth is my mantra, and it was time to make my client-centric philosophies and my market knowledge the center of a new brokerage – my brokerage. This allows me maximum freedom to serve my clients in a fast-moving market.
Many of my readers have met Phyllis, our Transaction Coordinator, or Ron, our VP of Research & Marketing. I’m thrilled that both are still with me. Jordan Camacho, my son/agent, made the transition as well. I then brought on experienced agents from other brokerages, and you will meet some of these over time. To be a Neighborhood advisor, an agent must have experience, enthusiasm, and most of all be responsive to every person who calls us for help.
As for me: I am a really lousy scuba diver who prefers a mojito on the beach
to donning a heavy air tank. (Jordan tells me no one wants to see my toes, and I can’t share my “Corona Moment”. But this is my favorite self-portrait, and part of my Chaise Lounge series inspired by a flash of brilliance in Punta Cana in December. If you’ve ever enjoyed sand, sun and rum at the same time, you know this series just got progressively worse as the day wore on.) I have been selling real estate in Las Vegas for nearly 12 years. I’m a former lobbyist and communications director for the American Heart Association in Nevada, and am proud of the role I played in getting tobacco off of our campuses and public buildings, and automatic external defibrillators in.
Now I’m a Broker/Owner, a Realtor, a Certified Distressed Property Expert, an Accredited Buyers Representative, a Resort and Second Home Property Specialist, and a friend and advisor to lots of new and old friends. I have the best job in the world.
I’m the mother to 3 great kids. Taryn is pursuing her MBA in Washington; Riana is a local attorney who’s face I see on Reza Atari billboards every day; and Jordan is Neighborhood Realty’s VP and director of sales and business development. I have one granddaughter, Aerrow, who is brilliant, beautiful and hysterical.
Enough about me. Let’s talk about you.
Welcome to the Neighborhood!
