Owned April 2003-July 2006
Our 1st home was between Downtown Las Vegas & the Strip just off LV Blvd. I had seen the house a few years earlier & pined after it then. Imagine my surprise when my (then future) husband & I drove by it on a whim & it was FSBO! We made an offer & they took it--no realtors involved at all. When we bought it the entire home was original to the 1942 date it was built...kitchen, roof, electrical, etc. We remodeled & updated it for 3 years and then decided to get out of Vegas (we had 1 child & another on the way)! We sold it FSBO to the first couple that walked through it. It was definitely a learning experience but wonderful.
