- 06/02/13 03:16 AM
Volunteering in the community here in Wichita Kansas and elsewhere is one of the attributes that helped form this country and make it great. People helping people. In the spirit of barn building when an entire community came together to build one landowners barn at a time. Only if the community works together by volunteering can we strengthen our core and learn to rely less on Government. There are many volunteer opportunities, find one that fits you! If you like animals most Humane Societies rely on volunteers to function. I know the Kansas Humane Society in Wichita has thousands of volunteers from the community that keep the … (0 comments)

Sports Illustrated says this ain't no Cinderella team, their bet ter than that! The town is going wild. Wichita State Universities Shockers basketball team is in Atlanta for the NCAA Final Four championship. I'm not much of a sports enthusiast but this I gotta love, and here's why:

wichita: Service After The Sale or Goodwill In The Real Estate Business
- 12/23/12 12:49 PM
I have an old win-win goodwill story. This deal was signed sealed and scheduled for closing. The house was in probate as the previous owner had died and her kids were selling it. A few days before closing we find out the probate lawyer has not done his job and the paperwork hasn’t been before the Judge yet. First delay. After many phone calls and much finagling we get a new date set. Again that date approaches and the lawyer is not finished. Now we’re five weeks overdue and my clients lease is running out at the end of the month … (14 comments)
wichita: Aren't You Supposed To Sell Me A House?
- 12/22/12 01:23 AM
“Aren’t you supposed to try and sell me a house” in Wichita Kansas? I had that question asked of me yesterday not for the first time. My answer, as usual: No. I’m here to help you find the right home for you in Wichita and then to help you buy it!
The question came up in the basement of a house we were viewing that had bad walls. They were beginning to move inward. We get that on older homes quite a bit on the East side of town in Wichita where the soil is hard clay. Bracing and fixing … (5 comments)
wichita: Wichita Kansas Botanica Illuminations
- 12/21/12 12:10 PM
Illuminations was once again a smashing success this year. The Wichita Botanica gardens put on aspectacular show with a lot of the same decorating projects from last year and some new ones too.The big hit this year, besides Santa for the kids, was a massive synchronized to music light show in thewedding field. Lights were strung out across the ground, up in trees and on posts. The ground lightsmade waves while the others in the trees danced to the timing of the music. It was really something tosee. Last year Lisel and I had seen the same thing at a private … (0 comments)
Even in a perfect city like Wichita Kansas cars will still be found that leak oil. Nothing is worse than having someone leave your driveway and you find an ugly unsightly oil stain where they were parked. Remove the surface oil by sprinkling some cat litter on the stain to soak up the excess oil. I like to scrub it with a hard bristle push broom. After that clear away the cat litter and focus on the stain. Make a paste of hot water and dry powdered dish or laundry detergent. Use a stiff brush to scrub the area … (3 comments)
wichita: District Advisory Board-DABs in Wichita Kansas
- 12/18/12 10:51 AM
District Advisory Boards, or DABs, were created for the community by local Government in Wichita Kansas. DABs are comprised of a City Council member and 11 citizens representing that council members district. Citizens like you and I. The district advisory board discusses zoning issues, community projects and other issues that affect the lives, homes and property of the districts citizens. They then make recommendations to the council which accepts those recommendations a great majority of the time. They do make a difference. Neighborhood meetings are a place where you can make a difference with the help of your DAB. It’s not … (2 comments)
wichita: Wrapping Presents For Kids In Wichita Kansas
- 12/17/12 12:11 PM
I spent the better part of the afternoon at KFDI, a local radio station, with some members of the Wichita Area Association of Realtors and the Wichita police department wrapping presents for kids that probably wouldn't be getting many otherwise. Every year the Wichita police department and KFDI have a huge project collecting lot's of toys for needy families in the area. The Wichita Area Association of Realtors and other community organizations collect toys that must be new and still in the package to be distributed. The police officers actually go throughtheir neighborhoods talking to the people to find the families … (0 comments)
wichita: Get Pre Approved in Wichita Kansas
- 12/13/12 11:03 PM
Getting pre approved by a lender or a bank before looking for a home in Wichita Kansas just makes sense. A pre approval from a mortgage lender takes the guesswork out of shopping for a house by letting you and your realtor know how much you qualify for. Most sellers want proof that you can get a loan to buy their house before they’ll go into a contract with you. While working through a contract towards closing a home is off the market. If it turns out the buyer can’t get financing that’s wasted time and money for the seller when … (1 comments)
