Generous Las Vegas Realtor Gives Back to Family in Rough Times
You might not believe it if someone said
that you can reside in one of their empty Las Vegas Condos for six months, since usually, Las Vegas is a place people don’t normally give something for free without asking for something
in exchange. That is why John and Jamie Names didn’t quite take it all in when they
got such an offer from Las Vegas Realtor
Craig Tann.
John, Jamie and their four kids had been
living with their friend, John. The six of them slept on the friend’s couches
and floor for three months while John was looking for a job with no luck.
The Names family used to live on a mobile
home in Boulder City last year, when John had a job. They planned to move to
Elma, Washington, where the cost of living was cheaper and the weather is more
humid. The deal to purchase a friend’s mobile home in Washington fell short so
they decided to head south to Florida. It was hard to find employment in
Florida so the family decided to move back to their home state where John got
his old job back. He worked for two weeks as a cook when his first paycheck was
delayed and the car ran out of gasoline. With no means to get to work, John
lost his job.
The family has been spiraling toward the
bottom of something with only a few possessions and some good friends to rely
on. And just when it seems that all hope is lost, then enters Craig Tann.
Craig is a 25 year old Las Vegas Realtor for the Prudential Americana Group who purchased
two Las Vegas condos. One, he rented out and the other he would use to help people out. The
deal was that a family could live in the condo for six months with Tann paying
for the bills while the family works to get back on their feet. Then after six
months, the family leaves to make way for another.
Tann said that right now, he doesn’t need
the extra money and he has been fortunate enough in his career. He also said
that he is not doing these to get attention or tax deductions. Besides with the
way the rental market is nowadays, it is highly probable that his Las Vegas condos might just be sitting
empty, anyway.
The Names know how lucky they are. They
have their whole family and six months ahead without worrying about rent or
electricity. Hopefully within six months some improvement will happen.
