Las Vegas - Prudential Americana Group - filing for Bankrupcy Chapter 11

PRUDENTIAL AMERICANA GROUP, one of the largest residential real estate firms in the Las Vegas Valley, is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy so it can reorganize its debts while continuing operations and needs the bankruptcy court protection so it can restructure its debt.

The Owner Mark Stark is optimistic in spite of the harsh reality and said: "We are focused on business as usual,"... "This is a debt restructuring. We continue to grow market share." ... "The bankruptcy filing will not affect the 3,000 exclusive listings that Prudential Americana has in Southern Nevada."

Stark told about 600 real estate sales workers on Tuesday morning about the bankruptcy and plans to reorganize the company keeping an optimistic view about the new reality. Prudential Americana operates as an umbrella company for independent real estate brokers who agree to pay a flat fee or a percentage of their commissions for administrative, legal and other support.

Prudential Americana is the second big Las Vegas realty firm to seek bankruptcy protection in recent months.

Arina, They must have several offices and with that is the overhead. I see that contraction occurring in several local firms. They used to have 25 office's now its 15. Also, the same offices are tyring to charge the agents additional fee's. We will all have to wait and see how this turns out.
