I work with sellers in the Lawrence and Douglas County Kansas and surrounding area real estate market. I always include a visual tour with my listings. Why? Visual tours add content to your listing on the internet. Google and other internet search engines love video content, ranking them higher in searches. Your listing automatically goes out to: Trulia Real Estate Search Heartland Multiple Listing Service Oodle.com - smarter classifieds Zillow / Yahoo! / FrontDoor Vast Real Estate Not all real estate professionals use a visual tour with their listings but I think it is a good marketing idea and will help gain you more internet exposure. Most buyers begin their search on the internet before contacting a realtor. Lisa Bullerman, Realtor, GRI, Keller Williams Realty 785-218-3195 What is m... 02/09/2015

The HUD 184 loan program for Native Americans is worth checking out. It is similar to FHA but has no credit score limitations and PMI is much less. This program works with single family homes, condos, townhomes and homes that need work. If you are looking to purchase a home and qualify for Native American assistance, please contact me to help you find a property. I am licensed to sell real estate in the entire state of Kansas. I primarily work in the Lawrence, Kansas, Douglas County and surrounding areas. Here are some details about the HUD 184 program: Highlights: ·         2.25% down payment ·         LOW PMI:  .15% ·         Open Statewide in KS ·         We can do owner occupied single family (1-4 units), manufactured, condos, townhomes ·         We can do purchase + rehab if there ... 01/27/2015

Is technology taking over to the point that we are losing sight of the big picture? It is no surprise that most first time buyers would rather begin their home search via their phone by downloading multiple apps. They process the information and prefer to do most of the legwork themselves. They understand once preliminary decisions are made, they will need the assistance of a professional Realtor to continue the process of final selection and purchase.  Great! If this is the trend, how can I, as a real estate professional, benefit the most from it? By getting back to the basics of what I do and what I have always done. Listings. Not just getting them, but pricing them correctly and making sure that they have a stellar web presence. I obtain listings the way I always have. Some referrals... 01/23/2015

Realtors were many hats and one of those is being a good photographer. I'm not talking about just being able to take reasonable digital photos of each room and some exterior shots for the MLS, I'm talking about having the ability to capture a clear image of what this particular property has to offer and entice a buyer to set up a showing. We have the ability to take and load multiple photos of a listing and I believe that buyers rely on these images when choosing what properties they want to see. So here is a list of things I do and don't do to be sure my listings are picture perfect.  Take front photos from several angles and straight on, then choose the best one.  Take multiple photos of the kitchen, be sure to clear counters and table tops as you go.  Put the toilet seat down if it i... 01/14/2015

Whether buying or selling a home in the Lawrence, Ks area, choosing an agent to work closely with is crucial.  Realtors abide by a code of ethics which is taken very seriously. There are countless hours of work done behind the scenes and good agents make the process seem effortless for their clients. When listing your home or making an offer on a property, your agent should provide you with a detailed "Comparative Market Analysis" CMA, showing adjusted values on each comparable.  This will give you a good idea of what the "Fair Market" value is for that specific property.  This will also give you an indication of where the appraised value will be if there is financing involved in the transaction. There are many other factors that influence your bottom line when buying and selling.  Both... 09/15/2014

By Far, the Biggest Mistake Every Seller Makes is...!  Selling their house in the first place. I believe every seller who sells their house is making the biggest mistake they can make if they sell their house without exhausting every opportunity to keep it as an investment property as this is, in my opinion, the best way there is for the average person to build wealth. Just think about it.  Which is better when you go to retire: 1) To have one house paid off or 2) To have two or more houses paid off with the second house and any additional houses paid off by the tenants? The key to NOT making the biggest mistake every seller makes is to never sell a property purchased. Reality check please!  Yes, on occasion, a seller may absolutely have no choice but to sell but with the right REALTOR... 01/15/2014

We all know that it had to happen. Eventually interest reates had to increase. I mean really, how long did we think we could get a home loan for 3% or less? So I am sure that you have heard the news that interest rates have risen. Big deal right? I mean so what if a 30 year mortgage is 4.5% now. That is still better than when they were 7%. What doies it all mean for someone in Lawrence, Kansas looking to buy or sell a home? Take a look at what it really means in the following example of a $200,000 mortgage and a 30 year conventional mortgage. Today's rates are about 4.5% for a 30 year conventional mortgage. If you had bought a house when the interest rate was 3.5% a 200,000 loan would have cost you approximately $1240.00 per month with insurance and taxes. At the current rate of 4.5% th... 01/14/2014
