johnson county: Flipping Houses? - 06/03/07 12:15 AM
Are you interested in Flipping Houses?
I grew up in a construction and building environment where my father has either bought, remodeled or built about 75% of the homes in the small town he lives in (about 7,000 population). I have had the privilege of working with him and I have seen him put in 14-15 hour days and be available to people in need whenever they call him. I have learned a great deal from my father and I'm so very thankful for this.
One of the things I have watched my father do time and time again is buy real estate. … (12 comments)

Of course we want to know the individual we are giving the referral to, so it's important for us to get to know the individual and … (43 comments)

johnson county: Color in Staging - Grape and Green! - 04/25/07 10:51 PM
What are you doing to sell your home quicker and for more money?
Okay, I'm a guy, but I do like color and the color of the exterior and interior of a home matters. I live in Olathe, Kansas in Johnson County and there is a standard response I hear when it comes to "What color do I paint my walls? or What color of carpet should we purchase? The standard response I hear is use Johnson County biege! Walls, carpet, everything...! I don't agree with this comment in Olathe and in today's market.
I believe buyers are looking for a warm and an inviting feeling when they enter a … (17 comments)
