Today we want to talk to you a little bit about a large portion of buyers who come out in the early winter months: relocation buyers. One thing to keep in mind is a lot of people don't realize is that our relocation market in Kansas City starts a lot earlier than people think. Often times, people trying to take advantage of relocation buyers wait until April or May to put their homes on the market because that's when they think transfers come in. However, this isn't always the case. Most transfers get their relocation packages in January and we see an influx of clients coming down President's Day Weekend and during spring break. 

If you are thinking about putting your home on the market and you want the most qualified group of buyers out there, who are non-contingent and ready to make a purchase, it's important for you to give us a call sooner rather than later. If you want to take advantage of this great relocation buyer market, we want to put your house on the market no later than January 30th. 

If you yourself are relocating to another area, you will probably get a relocation package from your employer. One thing people with relocation packages don't realize, however, is that they can choose the agent you hire to sell your current home. If you don't, your company will hand the listing over to a list of referrals who only do relocation business and often times don't have a lot of money to spend on marketing or aren't very aggressive when they try to sell your home. 

If you have a relocation package, we would love to help you out. We are very experienced with relocation and would love to help you get your home sold using our proven techniques.

If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We hope to hear from you soon!

Don't Sleep on the Holiday Market

There are many great Kansas City area homes for sale. Click here to perform a full home search, or if you're thinking of selling your home, click here for a FREE Home Price Evaluation so you know what buyers will pay for your home in today's market. You may also call me at (913) 735-3822 for a FREE home buying or selling consultation to answer any of your real estate questions.

Today we want to dispel a few myths about listing your home during the holidays. A lot of people think it's a pain to get involved in the market at this time of year or they think buyers aren't looking, but that might not be entirely correct.

Buyers who are shopping for homes during the holiday season during the cold winter months are serious buyers. They aren't out on a Saturday afternoon, in December, because the weather is nice and warm. While you may not have as many showings during the winter season, the showings you do have will be with serious buyers who want to buy a home.

We have a ton of buyers out there looking for homes. With lower inventory, those buyers are waiting for the perfect home, and your home could be it.

You could potentially get a higher price for your home in this market because we are still seeing bidding wars on the best properties. Most of these buyers are desperate to buy before the end of the year and you could see a 1-2% profit now that you won't be seeing in the spring.

One other thing to note is that homes typically show better during the holidays. We encourage you to decorate your home for holiday showings because buyers are more emotional during the holidays, and are more likely to make a quick decision.
If you have any questions at all about real estate, don't hesitate to give us a call, text, or email. We'd love to hear from you!

How we helped Andrea sell their home with our preparation of their house

"We were really impressed with how they got our house ready for sale. The Realtor came over and had her entire team there to prep the house and take pictures. We had looked at other homes that were just a giant mess so we really appreciated their preparation. They constantly were in communication with us and always answered my questions. We’d definitely recommend them! "
