Can’t Close Escrow on your High Rise Condo? What Can You Do? Find Out Here


Over the last month or so i have received an increasingly large amount of phone calls from High rise Condo buyers who are not in a position to close escrow on their vertical property’s for one reason or another. I have encountered people who can’t qualify for the loan and people who can qualify but don’t want to close. There are so many different situations that people are in that it just doesn’t make sense. I have had people call and tell me one thing and others tell me the complete opposite. If you are in this situation you first need to read your sales contract thoroughly, then contact the sales department at what ever development you have a property under contract at. In my experiences the developers are more than happy to help people out in these types of situations to the best of their ability. Once you have talked about your situation with a development representative you will have a clearer understanding of what your options are. After you understand what options you have it will make things easier on yourself and you can work on things from there. The #1 problem that i have been hearing from people in these types of situations is that they either can’t close escrow or they can close but don’t want to pay a high down payment. One solution that some developers are allowing people to do is to do a contract transfer or assign their contracts to someone else. This is only an option for people who have been specifically told by their developer that they can do this and if you haven’t been told this then your not allowed to do so. I have helped several people who have gotten the OK from the developer to do a contract transfer but the task has not been easy. People who can’t close on their High Rise Condo need to understand the quicker they take action and speak to the developer about their situation the easier it makes it on everyone. Now on the positive side of this equation if you are able to close and don’t have a problem with paying a little higher of a down payment than a traditional style loan then you are in a great position. The reason you are in a great position is that you can pick up property’s at 2005 &2006 prices which means instant equity for you. This is only a good idea if you want to buy a High rise Condo and don’t want to pay 2008 prices and also you have the opportunity to pick up some very prime unites with some of the best views in town. Like i mentioned earlier i am currently working with several people who can’t or don’t want to close on their Condos so if your interested in this type of deal i can be of help to you. I have access to Palms Place and Trump International Condos that are way below what the developer is selling their Condos for because like i said these property’s were put under contract a few years back during pre construction phases of the developments. Contact me today to learn more about how you can pick up a High rise Condo at 2005 prices in 2008 :)

Tough Talking From Sullivan Square


Sullivan Square is a Mixed Use development located at Durango and the 215 beltway. This 16 acre planed development will have 1,300 High/Mid rise residential units, 45,000 square feet of retail and office buildings, and a central park. Over the last few months their has been a growing concern among construction contractors and home owners that are involved with Sullivan Square because of talks that the development might not go up. According to a lawsuit, filed in Clark County District Court by one of the developments partners GSG, alleges breach of contract by Harcourt Nevada , a 60% Partner in Sullivan Square, for failure to perform funding obligations and breach of fiduciary duty. GSG’s Lawyer John Manly says “Essentially, Harcourt is pushing Glen, Smith & Glen out of the project and they intend to build it themselves,” the California lawyer said. “It amounts to economic bullying.” This is bad news for anyone involved with Sullivan Square because the allegations in the filed lawsuit can only bring on one thing and thats a Hold Up in the Finishing of this project which anyone familiar with Construction or Land Development knows is a big deal.

MGM Grand Towers Faces Lawsuit


Last night on our local news i watched an interesting story about how Las Vegas MGM Grand Signature Towers is being sued by Condo owners. This lawsuit has been going on for several months now and it is no surprise that there have been allot of disgruntled buyers of MGM Grand Signature Towers Condos. The lawsuit alleges that the buyers were mislead by sales staff when they purchased their condos and a stipulation in the contract specifically covered MGM in case a sales agent made a promise that held no merit. MGM is now having to have this lawsuit go before a jury to find out whether or not the Condo buyers were in fact mislead into purchasing Condos with in MGM Signature Towers by promises of extremely high financial gains. This is a perfect example of why any High rise Condo buyer must have proper representation before they even consider purchasing any style High rise Condo, whether it be a Vacation home, Primary residence, or Investment like a Condo Hotel. The Condo buyers in the Lawsuit said they had promises made to them by sales representatives that stated they would receive higher nightly rates than what they are now currently receiving by having their condos enrolled in the MGM resort rental program. People have to keep in mind that nobody can make you any type of promise as to what you will receive in the future because no one can control what happens in our daily lives like WAR, economical down turns, tourist trends, and especially future nightly room rates & if they do make you an outrageous promise run and run fast. If you are interested in buying a High rise Condo for what ever reason i can guarantee you only 1 thing and that is you need to be represented by a professional who understands what your needs are and has your best interest before anything. The disgruntled Condo buyers that have this on going lawsuit with MGM must not have had proper representation because it was said that they purchased their condos form any were between $600K-$800K and were promised nightly rates to be $300 + per night. Now with that said lets do some simple math to figure out if this would have even been a halfway decent investment, lets say they got extremely lucky and their condo was rented out every night for $300 which would equal $9000. The average cut for a condo hotel is 60-40, 60% going to the owner and 40% going to the resort, this is not to bad because you would be left with $5400, but this would mean your condo was rented out every single day of the month which is highly unlikely. Lets cut the number of days your condo was rented by half which would mean that it was only rented for 15 days out of the month. This would total $4500 and now subtract the 40% and it would leave you with $2700 and i don’t think that their mortgages were any were close to that with purchase prices of $600K-$800K do you? Like i stated earlier in this post it is a MUST you have proper representation when purchasing a High rise Condo for what ever the reason.

NEW Vertical Las Vegas Construction Deaths…Do we blame the workers or the people in charge?

Today on the Las Vegas Sun I read a article about the number of construction deaths in the NEW High rise Market within the last 16 months the amount of deaths while working on these developments have exceeded the total reported for the entire 1990’s building boom. I am completely 100% behind the NEW Vertical High rise market here in Vegas but I believe in safety first and I also believe that if these construction sites were not as crowded,the construction workers had the right supervision,proper training, and if they weren’t forced to rush and cut corners there would be would be 9 less lives lost I do not agree with the idea of canceling these projects but i do believe that safety comes first my heart goes out to all of the people who has lost there lives and to there family that they left behind I do not believe that the construction workers are to blame because they just like every one else have to pay bills and sometimes we do things that we may feel right but we still do it just to make ends meet. Click here to read article in the las Vegas Sun and take a look at the video that is on the page and also the construction map that gives information on each victim,the development they were killed at,what happen, OSHA investigation and the follow up.

So what are your thoughts about the NEW Vertical community here in Las Vegas
