Posted on: Condo plans left in the dust

Hi Everyone:

This is Chris Adams again. I am impressed by what "TechWreck" has written.
The solutions he suggests may have real merit! Clearly a large part of why individuals who bought at the Agave Condos were victimized and may well be victimized again has to do with the whole issue of transparency.
Currently the owners at Agave are making contact with our legislative representatives. I look forward to sharing with them “TechWreck’s” ideas.
More transparency might mean more protection for hardworking people who invest their life savings in the hopes of owning a home.
If anyone else has any good ideas for legislation in this area I’d love to hear it and possibly share it with our political leadership.
This is not about real estate “flippers” or “No Doc” loans. It’s about basic fairness for working people.

This is Chris Adams, I’m featured in the story. First I want to Thank Mike and Sam for their great work. I think the story and photos really help to capture the deep frustration the other owners and I feel.

What I am beginning to learn is that we are not alone. Condo owners at other developments in the valley have approached me with their own horror stories.

I believe the law should help protect people who buy homes and condos in good faith. If Nevada law does not do that at this time, then it is time for the law to change!

I will meet with officials of the City of North Las Vegas tomorrow and again ask that the city not issue building permits at Agave without the consent of all the owners --not just the bank or the developer -- but all the owners.

The city must choose whether only big banks and big developers have rights -- or whether local government works for ordinary working people too.

There is more to this story. I hope to share it with you.

Chris Adams
