January 15th is the deadline to file a petition to appeal your property value and lower your property taxes.
Step 1 - Find out your home's "taxable value"
Click here to visit the assessor's website and enter your street number and street name. (*Tip - DO NOT include "Ave" or Rd" after the street name)
Click on "submit" then click on the parcel number next to your address.
Look to see your home's "taxable value" (see the red arrow below). This value should not exceed fair market value for your home.
Step 2 - Determine fair market value for your home to compare with the assessor's "taxable value".
This step is easy! Just click on the "Home Value" button below, or call me at (702) 523-7713 and ask for a list of recently sold homes that are comparable to yours. (Called "comps" in Realtor lingo)
Step 3 - From the assessor's website:
If, in your opinion, the taxable value of your property exceeds the value indicated in the real estate market, please call or come in to the Assessor's Office and discuss your appraisal with an appraiser. The Assessor welcomes the opportunity to review any evidence you can provide that will show the valuation exceeds market value. If, after discussing the matter with the Assessor's staff, a difference of opinion still exists, you may appeal your assessment to the County Board of Equalization. You may obtain the appeal forms from the Assessor's Office during the month of December until the deadline for filing, which is January 15 unless it falls on a holiday or weekend, which then would make the deadline the next business day. Completed forms must be returned to the Assessor's Office by the appeal filing deadline date. Please call 702-455-3891 to have an appeal form mailed to you. The forms are relatively easy so you may represent yourself rather than incur legal expenses.
To find out if a property is in foreclosure, you'll need to know the parcel number.
If you don't know the parcel number start at the following link.
Link 1 - Get the parcel number
Copy the parcel number, then go to the following link.
Link 2 - Check for recorded notices
Enter the parcel number, remove the dashes, then click "detailed data"
Look at the document type.
"Notice of default" or "Breach" indicates the foreclosure process has begun. Unless the default is cured, a "notice of trustee sale" will most likely be filed in about 3 months.
"Notice of Trustee Sale" will usually result in a foreclosure sale within a few weeks. Call the recorders office at (702) 455-4336 to find out the exact date of sale.
At any point before or during the foreclosure, contact me to discuss your options including selling your home, even if you owe more than the home is currently worth. It is possible to negotiate a "short sale" with your bank, avoid foreclosure, and sometimes even allow you to stay in your home longer by postponing the foreclosure date.

Huge covered playground next to the water fountains provides year round fun for the kids!
The Paseos Park in Summerlin also has 2 grass softball fields and plenty of room for walking, jogging, and riding bikes. My little guy learned to ride without the training wheels at this park!
Researching local public schools is a good idea when purchasing real estate even if you're buying investment property. Being zoned for a "popular" or highly desired school can make a property easier to rent or sell. But keep in mind, re-zoning is common.
Here are some sites to help research schools. From these links you can find information such as zoning, school comparisons, parent and student opinions, & much more.

"Thank you for being our Realtor! You are very reliable. You are always there to intercede or assist whenever any kind of problem came up. You provided the best service of any kind I have had in Las Vegas. I recommended you to all my friends."
-Yasuko, November 2009
"Damon Botticelli went above and beyond representing,marketing and selling our home. We would highly recommend him as one of the most reliable Real Estate agents in our area."
-Tatiana & Belita, October 2009
"As an out of area buyer, I had lots of questions and uncertainties. Your professionalism helped me get through the process. I truly appreciate your efforts!"
-Man, October 2009
"I sincerely appreciate your professional integrity, your willingness to assist and your honesty."
-Taf, September 2009
"As a first time home buyer, I had lots of questions and fears. Your patience and professionalism helped me get through the process. I cannot thank you enough! Many thanks!!!"
-Phillip, July 2009
"You could not have been more helpful We encountered some unusual circumstances that you either helped us through or quickly found us people with expertise that we could trust. You and the people you referred me to were generous with your time and skilled in your area of expertise."
-Judy, June 2009
"Our experience with Damon Botticelli was outstanding! We have dealt with many Realtors in the past, but Damon is in a class to himself. To begin with, he worked with us closely to identify exactly what we wanted in a home, and provided numerous listings of great properties that fit our criteria. Then, during our viewings of these properties he pointed out many aspects about the homes, both good and bad, that we might have missed. Most notably, he took the time to make detailed personal notes of his own on each property which allowed us to sit down at the end of the day and thoroughly discuss the pros and cons of each home. His expertise helped us tremendously in the selection process. Once we had selected our home, Damon went the extra mile. He helped arrange the home inspection on a Sunday to accommodate our tight schedule, and then coordinated all the details of the closing so that the entire process was smooth, seamless, and an overall great experience.
Damon is a true professional, extremely knowledgeable and pays attention to the smallest of details. At the same time however, his warmth and sincerity put us at ease immediately, and we had no doubt he had our best interest at heart. It was as if we were working with an old friend whose genuine interest was to help us find our perfect home. If you are looking for someone who truly wants to help you find the best home for your needs, at the best price...Damon is the man you want in your corner"
-Larry & Hilda, June 2009
"Damon worked long and hard to find our property. He listened to our requirements and made recommendations based on what we wanted. He did occasionally make known properties above and below our threshold but almost daily provided a listing of active properties that fell within our boundaries. Damon has a good knowledge of the market in the Las Vegas area and was always willing to work with us on our schedule. I would not hesitate to recommend him to both friends and family."
-Dennis & Shirley, June 2009
"After screening several other realtors who specialize in short sale transactions, Damon stood out as a professional who would go above and beyond to find a buyer and close the transaction quickly. He negotiated with the bank, and was able to successfully close escrow with a buyer about four months after our first meeting. With market conditions the way they are, I regard this as a small miracle. Damon was great to work with, kept us in the loop, and walked us through a difficult season in our lives with tremendous poise and confidence. I am profoundly grateful for his hard work on our behalf."
