VIP Realty Expands Property Management Division

Sometimes I get so caught up discussing current market conditions and trends in the Las Vegas real estate market, or analyzing the economy as a whole and it's effect on home prices, that I forget to notify my readers about new developments within my business.  Many of you probably already know that several months ago I formed my own brokerage headquartered in a beautiful new office space in Northwest Las Vegas. VIP Realty, which stands for Vegas International Properties, was formed to cater specifically to the needs of our investor clients.  Although we do offer services to traditional home buyers and sellers, 90% of our business is from investors. Most of our investors are from out of town with many from out of the country.  In the last year we have been privileged to help broker deals for clients from Canada, China, Europe and Central America. Because I am an investor myself, I understand what investors need and how to find a property best suited to their goals.

One of the major components that we have found appeals to our out of town clients is our in house property management division. We have worked hard and expanding this division over the last year and we now manage over 100 properties for our clients. By performing our property management with our own hand picked team, we are able to insure quality and keep costs down. We realize that investors want to be able to trust that their properties are being maintained at a high standard.  They also need a property management service that constantly looks out for their best interests by making sure that rents are paid on time and that vacancies and delinquencies are dealt with quickly, efficiently, and effectively.

Our property management division is able to provide this superior service at a reasonable price.  Our investors are able to come to us for the whole package when it comes to investing in Las Vegas real estate.  We will help them find the best investment property, analyze cash flow, find and place a tenant, maintain the property, and deal with any vacancies. One of the major reasons I decided to step out and start my own brokerage is because I wanted to offer this complete service package to my clients according the vision I have had for several years.  I would love to tell you more about our services.  Please don't hesitate to call me if you are considering investing in Las Vegas real estate.

VIP Realty Offers Top Notch Support Services for a Fraction of the Price

Sometimes I get so busy talking about the state of the Las Vegas real estate market and discussing the ins and outs of successful real estate investing, that I forget to update my readers on more mundane matters...like our new brand name and Northwest Office. As many of you know, several months ago I established by own brokerage in Northwest Las Vegas...VIP Realty.  VIP stands for Vegas International Properties.  The name fits our business model to a "T." We continue to cater mostly to investors, many of whom are from out of town or even out of the country.  We have helped investors from Canada, China, Europe, and other locales purchase investment properties in Las Vegas.

We also have a full service property management division in house that is able to create truly turn key investment opportunities for our clients. We currently manage over 100 properties for our clients, and by doing so we are able to insure quality and keep costs to a minimum.  Because I am an active real estate investor myself, I know what real estate investors need in a property management service.  They want to know that there properties will be well cared for and maintained to a high standard, they want help attracting and keeping high quality tenants, and they want to know that their rents are collected efficiently, promptly, and accurately. We take care of all these items with top notch customer service.  We also make sure that when vacancies or delinquencies do occur, they are handled effectively and quickly.

If you are looking for a property management company focused on the specific needs of investors in Las Vegas real estate, give me a call directly.  I will put you in touch with one of our experienced property managers.

Full Service Real Estate Brokerage - Missing the Forest for the Trees

There is an old adage that says, “Don’t miss the forest for the trees.”  In other words, don’t get so caught up in minor details that you miss the big picture.  This is good advice for all of us...especially me.   Sometimes I write and talk so much about the areas that myself and my team specialize in, that I forget to mention all the other folks at VIP Realty and all the other services that we offer.

Most of you who have followed my blog and articles for the last several years are very aware that I specialize in finding investment properties for my clients and helping to place quality tenants in these properties so that they become turn-key, cash flowing investments suitable for local Las Vegas buyers as well as out of town investors.  You probably also know that many of these properties happen to be located in the Northwest area of Las Vegas that we call the “New Northwest.”  This is because this area of Las Vegas often provides the best combination of newer homes, low prices and high rents.  You have most likely also noted that I have closely followed the MGM Signature property on the Las Vegas Strip and that I have sold dozens of these units because I find them to be the best value on the Strip.

What many of you may not be aware of is that our business has grown exponentially since I first obtained my real estate license several years ago.  I am now a real estate broker presiding over an office full of agents and support staff that handles listings throughout the Las Vegas valley.  We have full time property managers, transaction coordinators, sales agents, buyers’ agents, agents who specialize in rental listings and office staff on site in our new office.  We have agents on our team who specialize in Henderson, Summerlin, Aliante, North Las Vegas, Southern Highlands, Old Las Vegas, and everywhere in between.  We have agents that excel at taking listings and those that regularly take buyers on tours of homes in the local area.

Whether you are an investor looking to purchase income property in Las Vegas or an owner occupant looking for a great deal on a new home, we can help you achieve your goals.  If you are a renter, we have a large selection of newly renovated properties available, many with lease options or owner financing.  No matter what your Las Vegas real estate needs may be, we have someone who can provide you with prompt, personal service.

Property Management - The Glue That Keeps Us Together

You may realize (because we’ve repeatedly told you) that Glenn Plantone is the 7th busiest real estate agent in all of Las Vegas and that he specializes in rehabbing distressed properties and turning them into beautiful homes.  What you might not realize is that Team Plantone at VIP Realty has quietly grown into one of the premier property management firms in all of Las Vegas.  

It was a business that developed out of necessity.  After Team Plantone finished a renovation project, it became necessary to place a quality tenant in the home in order to hand over the property to an investor buyer as a turn-key investment opportunity.  Many of these investor clients were located out of state or even out of the country.  Glenn found himself spending countless hours meeting with property management firms, handing out business first to one and then another, trying to find a PM company that would take good care of his clients and their tenants.  Glenn quickly discovered that nobody can take care of your valued clients as well as you can yourself.  And so VIP Realty’s Las Vegas Property Management Division was born.

VIP’s Las Vegas Property Management team offers all the services you’d expect from a first class PM firm: full service property management, rehabs, application processing, marketing, repairs, and tenant screening.  VIP does not charge set-up fees and offers multiple property discounts.  VIP will also help to market self-managed properties for a reasonable fee that includes the rental agent’s commission.  

Because of our reputation for performing high quality renovations, we always have a waiting list of potential tenants looking for the perfect rental property.  This reputation helps us to fill our client’s vacancies quickly.  

If you are a property owner looking for property management that was developed for the express purpose of catering to your needs, contact our Property Management team today for more information.  If you are a renter looking for a great property to call home please call us for more information on our current availabilities.
