Westleigh Neighborhood Association Meeting

Vegas Verdes Elementary School’s Multi Purpose Room

 4000 El Parque Ave

Las Vegas, NV  89102

Agenda/Topics

 

1)         Welcome and Introductions:  in attendance where Anne Kilponen, Neighborhood Planner; Shawn Spanier, President; Dan Connell, Vice President, Dana Russell, Secretary; Shelly Walters, Guest Speaker and 12 neighbors

 

2)         Guest Speaker:  Shelly Walters of Wardley Real Estate was invited to talk about Current Market Trends, keeping home values and a Q & A.  Shelly is also President of the Glen Heather Estates.  (1) Home sales/values down due to the available market which are either sold, under contract or available (vacant). Foreclosures are first owner occupied than secondarily investor.  The default takes 3- 6 months until it is bank owned, which goes into a trustee deed sale which can take an additional 6 months. If home is still owner occupied, it can take as little as 30 days.  (2) If in default, either loan modification with FHA or release the house with a “Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure”. This will help maintain your credit.  (3) To maintain value, it is the property owner’s responsibility.  If they are not, call Code Enforcement.  Neighborhood Watch can add value.

 

3)         Neighborhood Watch Signs Finalization: Shawn is submitting to Bolden Area Command the form and money for Neighborhood Watch Sign placement.
