Why hasn't my home sold? Are there secrets to getting my house sold in today's market? I hear these questions many times from sellers and while there are some things you can control, there others you can't. It's best to focus on what you can change!

Walk Score (http://www.walkscore.com) is a fun website that let's you know how walker-friendly your neighborhood is. This is great for people looking to go-green or live in an area with a more urban feel.
Kansas City, Missouri ranks pretty well, coming in at #34 on the America's Most Walkable Neighborhoods. Kansas City Missouri's Most Walkable Neighborhoods : Old Westport, Country Club Plaza, Plaza Westport, Hanover Place and Volker are the top five most walkable neighborhoods.

kansas city: Earnest Money Deposit Explained - 06/28/10 08:48 PM
So you found your dream home and you are going to write an offer. Why did your real estate agent ask you to bring along your checkbook?
When you finally find your dream home and want to make an offer, you will also be required to put down earnest money in the form of a personal check. This money does NOT go directly to the sller. Your money will be deposited in a trust account with the seller's title company. (The exception to this is the case of a builder on new construction.)
This money represents the sincerity of your offer and is fully … (0 comments)

kansas city: Kansas City Lakes & Marinas - 06/28/10 08:46 PM
Now that the temperatures are solidly in the 80's and 90's, summer is here and I'm ready to hit the lake. I don't always feel like driving to the Lake of the Ozarks, but I don't own a boat for the local lakes. Luckily, there are three local lakes with marinas to rent boats or jetskis.
Call ahead though, because last-minute rentals are impossible to come by, but it's good information to have on had for future weekends. I would recommend making reservations at least two-three weeks in advance if you actually want to have a rental!

kansas city: Wondering Why Your Home Hasn't Sold? - Papa Explains A Few Reasons - 05/21/10 01:03 PM
There are many reasons why a house doesn't sell the first time around, but price is usually the number one reason. Most sellers do not understand the current Kansas City real estate market well enough to price the home effectively on their own. And while an experienced agent can give pricing advice to a seller, it is ultimately up to the seller to set theirl asking price.
Did you know that pricing your home at an unusual value such as $199,950 is often counterproductive as it does not maximize how many times your home will appear in search results on … (2 comments)

kansas city: 2009 Tax Credit Looks Like It Might Extend Into 2010 - 11/05/09 11:50 AM
The Senate voted on Wednesday to extend the first time home buyer tax credit and today the bill will go to the House for a vote. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this bill passes, which will mean first time home buyers and NOW repeat buyers will qualify for great tax credits in teh end of 2009 and into 2010!
Some of the details are as follows : first-time homebuyers will still get up to $8,000 if they are under contract by 4/30/2010 and close by 6/30/2010. In addition, buyers who have owned their current home for at least 5 years … (1 comments)
