A city of almost 500 families residing and making it a beautiful cultural place to live is Weston, Missouri. The farthest western settlement of United States is Weston that is why it is “West town”. The city is where the people are attracted towards because of all the happening related to liquors and tobacco, so basically it is the Vegas of Kansas. Weston has a great history that cannot be neglected and it is the place that was once a second largest port. The port was building along the Missouri river which now has changed the course after some major flooding that shifted the river to its old passage which is 2 miles away. However, apart from this there are many other things that make Weston a place where you should move.Historic tour is worth takingWeston has a very amusing history; yo...

Hi folks, Scott here, with another quick tip from my week in real estate.   If you’re planning on moving to a new home in the next year or even two, here are the first 2 things you should do to get ready for your move.First, call a realtor you trust and have them evaluate your home with you.  Second, if you’ll still require a mortgage for the next home, speak with a lender.     Okay, why these two things specifically?  Well, they work in concert with each other.  First, you need to know what your home is worth to the current market.  Also, if you are considering updating or changing any thing to “get ready to sell” a realtor can help you make more economical choices than you would on your own!  We’ve found that homeowners tend to choose updates they’d like to live with instead of update...

Here in the midwest, we are reaching for the jackets and flannels right now.  Parents are digging through the basement to find their kids' winter coats in preparation for the first winter blast to come through unexpectedly. Unfortunately, in all the seasonal scramble, one thing that gets overlooked is the lawn sprinkler.  Many people forget about winterizing the system until the first time the temperature drops below freeezing for the first time every year.  While this is an effective reminder, it's not the best plan, as you might not always be lucky enough to escape damage.  Dealing with a frozen line or valve is much less desirable than taking care of the winterization before the first freeze. So here are the basic steps for winterizing your system.  If you don't have the tools to do ...

Every home buyer has their dream home pictured in their mind.  Maybe it's an historic bungalow with original hardwoods throughout or maybe a mid-century modern tucked in a quiet neighborhood.  No matter what your dream looks like in your head, that exact home probably isn't waiting for you on the market right now. What may be on the market is your dream home with just a few "freckles" on it.  It's possible that a previous owner laid some "gorgeous" gold shag carpet on your dream hardwoods.  They may have "lovely" floral wallpaper all over the formal living and dining areas in your dream colonial two-story.   Unless you buy a brand new home built to your specifications, you'll probably need to make a compromise or two to end up with your dream home.   You may be saying to yourself "I can...
