On July 12th, 2008 there will be an auction held
@ JW Marriot in Summerlin where Valencia has planned to sell 126 condos ranging from 1 bedroom 1 bath to 3 bedrooms 2 baths!!

These bids are starting as low as 49,000 to 89,000 and the property value of what the condos were being sold at are listed. Such as our condo which was sold to us for the whopping value price of 169,490 just a year ago and is being auctioned off at a low starting bid of 79,000!!

What most of the potential bidders don't know is all the problems that come with purchasing a condo from Valencia Condos Las Vegas. When we had our walk through inspection pending our purchase there were tons of corners cut and things throughout the unit that were not satisfactory for a $169,490 purchase!! During the walk-through I noticed in the master bathroom, behind the door the whole side of the dry wall was replaced but was not texturized and was only painted over. Next the granite in the bathrooms were cut wrong and the sinks are now off-set. I was luckily that one of the honest workers informed me that the sinks are sagging and are only being held in place by silicone caulking. He told me that four brackets would need to be installed under the sink to hold it in place. One of the many problems we have is when we are walking from the carpet to tile you can feel the tac strip under your feet, sometimes resulting in injury. Another problem we found in the bathroom involved the toilet being improperly installed, the shower fixtures have a constant drip, and tubs were resurfaced poorly, resulting in peeling. When the plumbers cut the stainless steel sink, they cut extra holes in the sink, which in turn caused our sink to leak underneath the cabinet. In the bedrooms there is three-mirrored sliding doors that were put on a track that had NO screws, most of the power outlets were not working and had to be fixed, and the bedroom/bathroom doors are not properly fitted for the door ways. One thing you can expect is that your AC unit will be almost 30 years old and will not work well in this Las Vegas heat, ultimately causing the owner to have to replace the AC unit with no help from Old Republic. Lastly, the water heater in our unit was not up to code and shortly after having our unit, the heater needed to be replace. The above problems, are only some of the major problems we had to deal with, not including some other minor problems not listed.

On the website hosting the auction for Valencia Condos, they have a few quotes which are very deceiving, including their pictures. Below I have listed the quotes, along with an explanation as to why these quotes are false.

* "Centrally located yet secluded and intimate"
Valencia is centrally located for homeless people who live behind the back wall of the parking lot, who dig in the garbage, and delinquents who are suspicious and lurk throughout the complex/parking lot.

* "Tranquil tree-lined walks and shady courtyards welcome you home to a peaceful haven of relaxation and solitude."
When you live at Valencia Condos you have not peace, relaxation or any type of solitude what so ever. When you come home you have to listen to loud noises, disrespectful groups of children/parents, and constant parties. There is trash every where, people urinating in the parking lot, and vandalism to the property and cars.

* "Outside indulge in a cool tropical pool, invigorating spa and secluded recreation area."
Since I have lived here the pool area has been shut down once by the health department and yesterday I found out that the pool would be shut down a second time, if the pool was not drained and acid washed, due to high levels of contaminants in the pool and spa.

I am outraged that this is not an up-kept community and the leasing agent Veronica is of no help to any problems that homeowners have and neither is the HOA. We pay a $210 association fee and I do not see that money going to the improvement of everything that needs to be fixed, such as broken windows that have not been replaced for months.

I also blog on this website

I am also putting the same blogs on this website in hopes more people will see these blogs and will NOT want to buy or rent from Valencia Condos

Do me a favor and spread the word!!

Valencia HOA does nothing......

Valencia's HOA

The topic today is the lame HOA and what I think of them!! So I have gone to the meeting's to complain and help improve our neighborhood  but mostly nothing is being done!! (except they did add a security guard Friday - Sunday after hours) That still leaves 4 days out of the week that I have to worry about my car and windows!! Getting back to the topic of the HOA.....well they suck!!



I spoke to the HOA and they listen to you, but they don't hear you!! Their attitude is very nonchalant. They actually could care less what goes on because they do not have to live here or deal with these crap A** neighbors. I complain so much about what happens around here and nothing is being done to stop it. The HOA's attitude towards everything is they send letters to the offenders and they really think this tactic is working!! F on their part because this doesn't help. The neighbors go on doing what they did before and their shitty a** kids keep running a muck. 

I know this was short but I'm pretty busy this week
MY NEXT TOPIC WILL BE ABOUT
VALENCIA AUCTIONING OFF THESE STINK
HOLE CONDOS

DO NOT BUY OR RENT FROM VALENCIA CONDO'S IN LAS VEGAS

BEWARE OF THIS ADDRESS:

1455 E. Katie Avenue, Las Vegas NV 89119

Valencia is a condo conversion in Las Vegas, Nevada, near UNLV. This apartment/condo is a nightmare to live at. I currently OWN one of these condo's and purchasing at Valencia was and is a huge mistake. I would not recommend this travesty upon anyone, nor recommend this place to anybody that is thinking of renting or owning!! On Valencia's website they say "Finally, a beautiful home is within reach," I laugh at that, because HELL would be a better than this place!! You want to know why this place sucks so bad!? I will tell you why...

Here is a list of things you would have to deal with:

  1. First off I have a brand new car that was vandalized!!
  2. Children are out running a muck from 2:30 until 10:00 or 11:00 at night, sometimes later. 
  3. Trash is everywhere you turn
  4. Rocks are being thrown and damaging light fixtures.
  5. Lights fixtures are out all the time and the Valencia Rental office does not fix them (Currently 3 consecutive light bulbs are out) I called 4 days ago and was told it would be fixed on Monday and they still have not been replaced it.
  6. Kids are kicking soccer-balls and throwing footballs up against the building, doors, and stairs. This causes disturbances and the kids could give a flying F***.
  7. When you talk to the parents they are just as smug and ignorant as their children.
  8. On weekends GOOD LUCK GETTING ANY SLEEP, especially when there are loud a** people laughing and drinking on their balcony because they are having parties from the afternoon into late at night. They are so loud you would think the bastards need a HEARING AID.
  9. Also people hang out in the parking lot, drinking!! Then to top it off, they live their beer cans and trash laying in the parking lot.
  10. If you go to the HOA meetings you will not find any help, they are nonchalant and brush you off because they don't give a d***.
  11. People take up as many parking spots as they want, even though you only get one and they are assigned.
  12. When people walk their dogs, they do not pick up their dog S*** and I have to look at this S*** that's everywhere.
  13. There are satellite dishes that have been put up on the wooden structure of the building and is in violation of the HOA  rules. But all the association says is "they are being fined," which is bull s*** because no A** HOLE would want a fine every month. (This is such an eye sore because to many are up)
  14. DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT GOING IN THE POOL because it is so dirty and polluted from the lack of cleaning, as well as the pigs that go in the pool and throw debris .
  15. The tennis court is full of trash and asphalt is broken up because these little bastards break it apart. They throw the asphalt at each other and even ride around on skateboards, bikes, scooters, and w/e else they can use.
  16. Valencia has ZERO SECURITY, so no sense in feeling safe!! Your always worried about vandalism and windows being broken by these little A** Holes/BASTARDS!!
  17. There are new plants and these little f***s break the plants apart and hit each other with them.
  18. Don't worry about your maintenance fees going to clean this place up, because these workers don't do what needs to be done to keep this place looking its best.
  19. The model unit and balcony needs a power wash because it is so dirty with cob webs and debris (such as dust and dirt)
  20. Sometimes the sprinklers are on for 8 to 10 hours at a time, sometimes MORE!! Then it gets to be a pool outside on the sidewalk and you can't get out of your place!! Unless you want to swim!! NO JOKING HERE!!

PLEASE DO NOT BUY OR RENT FROM THIS CONDO CONVERSION UNTIL THERE IS SOME SERIOUS REORGANIZATION ON VALENCIA'S PART TO MAKE THIS PLACE LIVABLE. I AM BLOGGING ABOUT THIS TO INFORM THE PUBLIC OF THIS INJUSTICE TO THE OWNERS THAT LIVE HERE!! AS AN OWNER YOU TAKE PRIDE IN YOUR INVESTMENT AND THESE RENTERS COULD GIVE A FLYING F*** BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY CAN GET UP AND LEAVE WHEN THEY WANT. I CAN'T!! AND WHO THE F*** WOULD WANT TO BUY THIS PLACE WHEN THEY SEE THE GHETTO A** PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE??!!

MORE TO COME

Come back again to read more!!
And if all you want to do is talk s*** about what I am doing
than don't bother posting anything!!

P.S. If you read this and you still want to buy from Valencia, contact me so you can buy my unit!!
