MGM City Center Las Vegas Nevada by Robert Swetz (Vegas Bob) "It's Official"

I received another email from a company in Boston that makes brochures and does advertisement for different businesses across the country.

They contacted me several weeks ago inquiring about one of my photographs that they would like to use for a brochure for "MGM City Center" in Las Vegas Nevada. They wanted a higher resolution photograph and my permission to use the photo.

I have given them permission to use this photograph (above) for a new brochure for "City Center" and underneath my photograph will be my name and one of my web site URLs.

This photograph was taken 12-24-2009 Christmas Eve when my wife Nu Nu and I stayed at "The Aria Hotel" at City Center.

It seems the magic of Christmas helped create for Robert Swetz (Vegas Bob) an award winning photograph and chance for thousands of tourists to view Robert's work.

I will follow this post with more updates and the "Original" brochere that will parading "Vegas Bob's" photograph.

"Know when to pull the Trigger"

2010-01-06T19:20:00.001-08:00

Know when to pull the trigger!

"Know when to pull the Trigger"

There are hundreds of thousands of people around the country that are interested in purchasing homes and the numbers are growing.

Inventory in many major cities and towns including (Las Vegas Nevada) is very low and this can really create a problem with multiple offers, bidding wars, etc.

So if you make an offer on a home that you really like, but you don't like the color, or you dislike the carpet ......

Paint it or change the carpet!

When this Spring rolls around as a home buyer you are not going to be able to be as picky as before. You need to Know when to pull the trigger!

Hesitation can sometimes only create heartache when you lose a home because you where not on your tip toes paying attention to a good deal when you see it.

I have been getting quite a few calls from people interested in Real Estate in Las Vegas, "what's going on?"

There have been more calls and emails coming in from people interesting in looking and possibly purchasing property in Las Vegas.

Did something happen?

Why would potential buyers be contacting me in January?

Is it possible they want to get into contract before the prices go up in Spring? And prices that may not come down till Summer or Fall of this "New Year!"

I am very interesting in reading other members feedback on my questions!

The Future of FSBO's - Contract for Deeds/ Owner Financed Contracts in the coming years!

2010-01-02T10:01:00.001-08:00

The Future of FSBO's - Contract for Deeds/ Owner Financed Contracts in the coming years!

With so many home buyers credit scores ruined due to foreclosed homes in the past it has almost become impossible to get financed from Banks & Lenders for home buyers.

FSBO's & Contract for Deeds are going to be the wave of the Future unless the Banks & Lenders find ways of helping home buyers mend there F.I.C.A./ credit scores or lower the scores which in turn lower interest rates, which in turn would give home buyers a better chance of getting financed.

And if FSBO's & Contract for Deeds are the wave of the future and what will this mean for Real Estate agents across the Globe, (problems)!

I really hate to go into 2010 on a sour note but facts are facts!

Another great way to save my important blogging material (Important)

I am in the process of copying my stories & posts to (Localism) and putting them on one of my personal web sites for more exposure & protection.

As bloggers we have to think about all our material that has been posted to Activerain. We can copy and paste our important stories and put them into files and or copy and paste them and put them on our own web sites.

By posting our material to our personal web sites we create more exposure and direct surfers to our web sites which in turn will create more business.

We have to also think, are we going to be a part of Activerain (Forever)?

What happens is Activerain went down as a network? What would happen to all your material?

We have to think of the future and do what ever we can to (Save) & (Protect) our work!

This is my main web site where I will be posting all my important posts/ blogs/ stories and photographs I have ever posted to the Activerain network.

It will be a lot of work, but will be worth it in the long run!

Beware - Companies Going Out of Business

2008-12-29T18:33:00.000-08:00

There are companies Going Out Of Business everywhere and all of a sudden.

There are lists of companies that are Going Out Of Business over the Internet and through other sources.

Please try to be very careful about doing advertisement in unknown magazines, small newspapers or certain business marketing scams. These people that scam prey on new agent's that have just be licensed.

I have been informed to be careful not to buy gift cards also because many companies are going out of business.

I have been burned by two different printing companies, one company that specializes in Corporate Credit and LLCs. And we just had a Law Firm (Throw us under the bus) just an expression when some one takes advantage of you.

I will be blogging about these companies very soon in the future and they are all located in Las Vegas, Nevada.
My suggestion to everyone when people are trying to sell you their services, (except Real State of course) I can't afford it right now. Or just say "No Thank you"!

MARKETING FOR (THE BIG FISH)

2008-03-26T15:42:00.001-07:00

It takes a large amount of time, money and patients to Market for (THE BIG FISH). I have been buying Investment Properties for over 20 years and have been selling Real Estate in Las Vegas for 7 years now. I started in Residential for the first two years and then moved into Commercial, Land and Investment Properties.

I do still sell Residential, but that is mostly to Relatives. On my wife's side there are approximately 250. I would be crazy not too. (THE BIG FISH) is around the corner for me, it has been read in my cards and I can just feel it. Commercial Properties can take a very long time 6-12 months, sometimes longer.

I push out approximately 5,000 business cards per year, some post cards and other mail outs, three different magazines, pens, two newspapers, one in Burmese. Some Brokers and Agents say, Why do you waste all your time and money on all this advertisement? I don't really listen to much any more about what the Brokers and other agents say, I am doing just fine. I have a very large group of Investors with very large portfolios from all my advertisement and it takes a long time to build trust with them. (THE BIG FISH) is coming real soon from getting my name out there.

So in the mean time as I wait for (THE BIG FISH), I never let my line loose and continue to feel for the big jerk and then I will set the hook.

I also have picked up on some of my old talents from so many years ago. I have studied Art, Photography, Writing and Music for over 30 years now. And it looks like I will be Producing, Directing, Acting and Writing for some films in Las Vegas later in the year of 2008. I am also looking for a Commercial Building to convert into a Gallery to display my work and the work of other Artists from around the world.

Sound like a Dreamer? Maybe, maybe not. We will see in the next couple of years.

I forgot, I am also working on a book that will hopefully be complete in the end of 2009. Once complete, this book will help women and children from around the world. And will become so big and controversial that I will have to not have my name on the book. No one, no one knows what my book if about and I have to leave it that way.

Until next time, good health and take care of yourselves

REAL ESTATE MARKET IN LAS VEGAS

2008-02-26T15:30:00.000-08:00

The market for Residential in Las Vegas has picked up the last couple of weeks.
At my office there are agents all over very busy finding homes for buyers and investors. Word has it is that many investors are back in Las Vegas buying up homes that are bank owned and short sales.
I have one home in escrow and working on another.
It is a very good time to buy right now as some people know. There are some that are waiting to see if the market will go down further, it probably will.
Here is my suggestion, if a home is listed at $200,000.00, offer $150,000.00 to $175,000.00. If you purchase the home for $175,000.00 and the value goes down, it will adjust within approx what you offered. And the market will not be down for ever.
Another reason to buy now is there are more homes on the market which gives you more to choose from, so you can find a area, type of home you really like. About the middle of Spring the prices will be up and there will be fewer homes to buy.
Do your home work and invest in a home in Las Vegas.
