Chris made his dream of purchasing his first home a reality

Chris new one thing when he called me, he loved the Waldo area. Even given this, during his search, we still explored parts of Lee's Summit clear to Waldo just to make sure we found the right area. Once we found the right area, still set on Waldo, we had to find the right home. Chris wasn't afraid of the idea of putting some work into the right home or even adding a bedroom and bathroom to one to make it right. Given this, it made his search easier!

We found a great home, priced below market value, in a short sale. A few months later, we had the sellers lien holders approval on the short sale and the buyers lender got him closed ahead of schedule. Chris got his keys today, though he was a little tired today at closing since he couldn't sleep last night with excitement!

Many years of happiness to you, Chris. I can't wait to see the photos when you have completed the home of your dreams! Cheers!

Ed finds the perfect home in Overland Park

Ed contacted me just about two months ago looking for the right home. He had a wish list, like most buyers, and had goals in getting into his new home quickly. We viewed a very small amount of homes on three tours, around 16 in total. When he walked into one, he knew it was the right one. I love that feeling of "knowing" when you find the right home!

He had a great lender and we closed way ahead of schedule. I was very happy to give him is keys this morning. 

Congratulations, Ed! Many years of happiness to you, cheers.

Christina and Craig find a foreclosure a great choice for an investment property

Christina and Craig were not new to the idea of being investment property owners. They owned a few lofts around Downtown Kansas City that they lease out as investments. When they contacted me to help them find a steal, I was happy to help.

They found a two story loft in the heart of Downtown Kansas City that was a foreclosure needing just a few touches to make it perfect. Offering first a great location (key to renting a property), a great price point and a community that offers a ton of amenities was just a few reasons they chose this one. Exercise room, club room, garage parking, pool and more!

They get their keys tomorrow and I am very happy for them. Congratulations Christina and Craig!!

James and Katelyn find a fully updated condo at a steal of a price!

James and Katelyn had a goal to become proud home owners. I was happy to help them with their search! They were first time home buyers not sure of what they wanted though they knew they wanted to stop throwing away money on rent. They considered purchasing the loft James was renting from his landlords. However, when I sent them a foreclosure listing, they put it high on their list.

Some foreclosures need a lot of work. This one, however, had new carpet, new paint and recently refinished hard wood floors. With an outstanding view from their private balcony, quality finishes throughout including stainless steel appliances, updated cabinets, granite counter-tops,  and tile floors, it was definitely high on their list until I told them the asking price when it became number 1 on their list! Great value. The community offers every amenity you can think of plus a tax abatement, two garage spaces, extra storage and much more. We had multiple offers up against us but with my assistance and guidance, they got the winning contract!

Congratulations James and Katelyn. Cheers to many years of happiness in your new home! I can't wait to give you your keys this afternoon.
