Today I just wanted to talk for a moment about the importance of landscaping. Spring is right around the corner, and if you want to sell your home for top dollar, fresh landscaping makes a world of difference.

A buyer’s first impression is always going to be the outside of your home. You want to make the best first impression possible, so you want to keep that landscaping up-to-date, with fresh mulch added to the areas that need it.

In the video above, I’m using a big military truck to pull out some pesky shrubs. You don’t need to go that far, but if you do have something big you need to get rid of, my truck and I can help. Landscaping is so important to your home’s value, it can not be overstated.

Today I want to just give you a quick update on the KC real estate market. Right now, we are in a great seller’s market. Sellers are getting top dollar for their homes, and buyers are chomping (or clucking, as you see in the video above) to get the best homes. 

Many buyers in the KC market are looking to take advantage of low interest rates, leading to an increased demand for homes. If you’ve been thinking about selling sometime in the near future, now might be your best time to do so for quite a while. 


The market is good, rates are down, and we’d love to help you out if you’re thinking of buying or selling this year. If you have any questions, just give us a call or send us an email. We would love to help you out!

Why Is Now a Good Time to Sell?

I'm in Dallas, Texas today and people are buying homes left and right. I've been trying to help my brother find a place around here, but we've been losing out on some homes. It's a tough market for buyers, but a great one for sellers.

I mention this because our market in Kansas City is very similar. The market is doing very well right now for sellers. If you've been thinking about selling but are planning on waiting until spring, don't.

Inventory is low, and there are a ton of buyers out there looking for the perfect home. If you are ready to get the ball rolling on your home sale, now is the time to do so. The low inventory will drive your sale price up, and you'll be ready to buy when the market floods with listings in the spring. 

If you have any questions for us, or are looking to buy and sell in Kansas City, give me and my team a call or send us an email. Talk to you soon!

Don't Miss Your Chance to Test Drive a Tesla!

By now you have probably heard and perhaps even seen the new Tesla cars. They're one of the best cars available, and they're popular for many reasons. They run entirely off of electricity, they can reach 60mph in as little as 2.8 seconds, and they have an estimated driving range of 270 miles per charge. 

Not even a James Bond car can go 0 to 60 that fast!

I've worked out a deal with the fine folks at Tesla to bring out some Teslas to my office at College and Metcalf in order for you to take a spin in one. Whether you want to buy one or not, it's going to be a really neat experience!

I own a Tesla, and I love it. I just wanted everyone else to have the opportunity to test one out and possibly buy one. 

On October 6th at 5pm I will be allowing people to come out and drive these cars. I'll have beverages (no alcohol for this event), and two Teslas for you to drive. This will probably last until 8pm, so please be on time. 

The exact address is 11005 Metcalf Ave, Overland Park, Kansas. 

I look forward to seeing you there!

How Can You Sell a KC Home That Needs Some Major Work?

Today, I want to discuss homes that people want to sell, but can't afford to fix up.

If you have a home with wood rot, roof issues, structural issues, or cosmetic issues, you have some work to do. There are still some investors out there looking for homes like this, but they are fewer and farther between. 

While it's always better to put in a little elbow grease before selling, especially in a competitive market like the one we have here in Kansas City, you still have options. My team works with a lot of investors who might be interested in your home, even if it needs some work. We can make a deal happen quickly! 

If you or anyone you know is looking to unload a home quickly, or if you need real estate assistance of any kind, give us a call or shoot us a quick email. We would love to hear from you!

Have You Checked Your Gutters Lately?

Here in the Midwest it's been awfully rainy as of late. Because of this, I just want to remind everyone how important it is to check your gutters. When gutters don't drain water, it sits around your home and creeps into your foundation, and this can turn into serious problems.

An easy way to do this is to wait for it to rain, and then go outside and check your gutters to see if they're draining properly. You might get a bit wet, but it's all worth it in the end. I had my gutters cleaned a month ago, but a bird recently built a nest in them and clogged them up. This is why it's important to check often before your home's foundation becomes a big issue.

It's always better to act early and often on your home's foundation when problems arise, and my friends at Foundation King can help you out. I highly recommend these guys - they've helped me out many times.

That's all I have for you today, I just wanted to offer up some advice for you during the rainy season here in Kansas City.

As always, refer to me as your #1 resource for real estate assistance in the Kansas City area!
