FED up with interest rates? Consider this.

The biggest thing to get over is knowing that 3% rates are not coming back…

When You Wish Upon a Star

So we wished, in the most magical place on earth, according to two year olds and mickey t-shirt wearing adults alike. We hoped we would land our perfect building. We wished we would find a place to call home for ourselves and our agents.

When you are looking at the stats to try and get an indication about what is going on within your market you have to look in your own backyard first if you really want to have a complete understanding.

Melissa’s Mixed Plate: The Happiest Place on Earth

There is a level of grief that comes from losing a house in a bidding war. You hear about it more frequently as time moves on and this market continues to give almost every buyer a gut punch they never asked for. This market can be a bully at times. It’s a dog fight where even the winning dog doesn’t necessarily “win” because they must give up $25k+ over asking and the ability to make sure the biggest purchase of their lives cannot be looked over by a licensed contractor.

Interview with Agent Claire McFarland

After studying music therapy at the University of Kansas, I made a hard pivot and got into restaurant management. My time in restaurants gave me a strong foundation in customer service, which has benefitted me to this day. It also taught me that I crave a flexible schedule and being my own boss. I then moved on to become a home stager! I was finally self-employed, running my own company, Kansas City Staging, LLC. I soon realized that what I really wanted was to become a realtor.

My background in construction and studio art always comes out when I’m renovating my home, or another house. I love being hands-on and I always have multiple projects going on around my home.
