Three months it took me to get up the nerve to tackle a new blog format.  I can sell real estate with my eyes closed (hey, have you seen some of these REOs?), but learning a new blog format paralyzes me every time.

I couldn’t help but think about Ted Kaczynski and his hatred for the modern world. So I did a little research, and the similarities between Ted and I were just freaky.

Ted was born on May 22. I was born on May 22. Ted is an American. I’m an American. Ted is male. I’m female. See, even the dissimilarities are surreal.

Ted decided to start a bombing campaign after watching the wilderness around his home being destroyed by development. Say what? Okay, Ted…you lost me on that one. I’m kind of missing development about now.

Three months. So many changes – all exciting.

The Robin Camacho Team has grown rapidly to keep up with the demands of our clients. Many LVA readers will remember when it was just Ron, our Top10RealEstateValues.com researcher, and me. Anyone who’s been in my new office lately has been amazed that , despite our size, we’ve been able to remain focused on what’s important – helping our clients do well .

First and foremost, I have moved up to Realty ONE Group. Realty ONE is now the largest real estate company in Nevada, with over 1600 active agents. The offices of Robin Camacho & Associates are located in Realty ONE’s location in southwest Las Vegas. There are Realty ONE offices scattered throughout the valley, making us very accessible to our clients.

There are now 9 agents on our Team, as well as full-time transaction coordinator Phyllis Washburn, and of course our full-time researcher.

I’m very pleased to announce that my sister, Sheri Wilson, has recently joined our Team. Sheri is a 33-year resident of Gardnerville, and a former top-producing agent in northern Nevada. Ron Branson brings 30 years of experience as a top-producing agent, former broker and association President in Coeur D’Alene. Lucy Stewart is a former current planning administrator for Clark County, and maintains a land-use consulting business in addition to her real estate license. Along with Lucy and Ron, Shawn Preston, a former Range Rover salesman, concentrates on serving our commercial real estate buyers. Judy Mitchell is a former nonprofit director with a reputation for great client service. Linda Masciola, Lana Jones and Nick Marquart round out the Team. Every Team member shares my core philosophy of understanding and adopting our client’s thinking. When your focus is correctly placed on the needs of your client, their success becomes your success.

Enough about me – let’s talk about you.

If you’ve purchased a home in Clark County recently, you should be aware that the deadline for appealing your property’s assessed value  is January 15. If your tax rate is too high when compared to comparable homes, it would be prudent to contact Clark County’s Assessor’s Office (702.455.3882) immediately to request the proper form for filing an appeal.
