About Michelle Sproul – Your Las Vegas REO Specialist
I founded Vegas REOs because I am a former REO listing agent who has represented multiple banks during the 2008 housing crisis. I specialize in managing and selling bank-owned properties in Las Vegas, providing asset managers with professional valuation, marketing, and compliance-driven sales strategies. Holding the Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource (SFR®) certification, I have the expertise to handle the unique challenges of distressed property sales, from occupancy issues to market positioning. My goal is to help financial institutions efficiently liquidate assets while protecting their interests throughout the process.

Understanding the Challenges of Selling Bank-Owned Assets
Managing and selling REO properties in Las Vegas comes with unique challenges that require experience, precision, and proactive solutions. Banks and asset managers must navigate occupancy issues, market fluctuations, and compliance requirements while maximizing asset recovery.
Having a knowledgeable Certified Distressed Property Specialist like Michelle Sproul ensures that common pitfalls are avoided, the listing process is streamlined, and REO properties are sold efficiently and profitably. Below are some key concerns asset managers may have when listing bank-owned properties—and how Michelle helps address them.
Selling as-is means the property won’t attract buyers
While REOs are often sold as-is, strategic pricing and targeted marketing ensure strong buyer interest. Michelle advises whether minor repairs or trash-outs can increase value without unnecessary expenses.
Evictions and securing the property take too long.
Michelle acts immediately to determine occupancy, initiate cash-for-keys or legal eviction, and secure the property to prevent damage or liability risks.
Will I be working directly with the listing agent?
Unlike large REO teams where files get passed around, Michelle personally oversees each bank-owned listing. Asset managers work directly with her, ensuring clear communication, timely updates, and expert handling of every stage—from occupancy checks to closing.
Cash offers are always the best option.
A quick closing is appealing, but the highest net proceeds matter most. Michelle helps asset managers navigate multiple-offer situations, comparing cash offers vs. higher financed bids with pre-approved buyers.
REO’s sit on the market too long.
Proper pricing, accurate BPOs, and aggressive marketing ensure a fast and efficient sale, reducing carrying costs and maximizing return on investment.
