Home Improvements with the Best Return On Investment for Home Sellers in Kansas City, Johnson County and the Surrounding area

The Jason Brown Group

If you are preparing to sell a home in Johnson County Kansas or the surrounding Kansas City area, home buyers will be looking closely at the condition of your home. A home with new paint and carpet and that appears priced decently can go unsold if there are other issues once a buyer looks deeper. Granite kitchen counter tops are certainly an eye catcher, but if the buyer looks up and see a leaking roof then your wonderful kitchen may not matter. Gleaming hardwood floors are an attention-getting but if a buyer sees that your furnace is at the end of its life expectancy, such differed maintenance can kill your home sale. So when preparing your home for sale, don’t just be focused on the cosmetic items, also look closely for any mechanical or structural issues that will turn buyers away.

Photo 1034
Cosmetic and remodeling projects are great but sellers usually see the largest return on investment when they focus repairs on the core mechanical and structural items in their home. Buyers love an updated kitchen, remodeled bath and fresh paint and carpet, but they’re looking just as hard for major issues, such as window or siding issues… And they’re more likely to walk away from your home due to an old roof than due to old paint. The latest home improvement trends indicate several home improvements that stand out for their return on investment. One is kitchen updating, which nets sellers 94% on their return on investment. The second is siding repair. Knowing a home is weather-tight is a major concern for home buyers and that’s why home sellers recoup 93% of the money spent making siding repairs.

The best return on investment of all, and the only one that returns more than 100% on your investment is, wait for it… re-insulating your attic. Today’s buyers are conscious of utility costs and re-insulating an attic is of value to every home buyer — which is why it nets home sellers a 108% return on their investment. Other great improvements include roof replacement and window replacement, if either are at the end of their life expectancy — both return 80% on investment. Curb appeal is also important and because you never get a second chance at a first impression, replacing front doors and garage doors have a solid return on investment. Because home buyers will be looking for a home that’s in good cosmetic, mechanical and structural condition, you’ll want to be sure you don’t overlook any of these of areas when preparing your home for sale.

The Jason Brown Group

If you’re thinking about jumping into a real estate career, consider this recent Forbes news article covering the CareerBliss annual report on companies in the United States with the happiest work force heading into 2017. Narrowing the list below so we can look at just the top 10, it’s a who’s who of major U.S corporations. Keller Williams Realty continues its meteoric rise, not only in the real estate world, but settling in at #3 among all companies across the country.

Photo 1236

If you’ve considered getting your real estate license, let me know your questions regarding getting into the business. I’ll let you know what I see as the keys to building a successful real estate career. I’ll also help you gain an understanding from a “real estate agent’s point of view” on why Keller Williams is the #3 happiest company to work for in the country, why Keller Williams has more agents than any real estate company in the country, and why my Overland Park Keller Williams office is the #1 producing office of any real estate brokerage in the entire metro area. Even if you’re already licensed and working elsewhere, contact me because I can definitely help you with making a switch to Keller Williams Realty.

I can quickly get you a meeting scheduled with the leader of our 500+ agent office, where any additional questions can be answered. My office will go over what it takes for a new agent to get their career off on the right foot. Some agents want to go it alone, others want to form a team with another agent, some want to be a buyer’s agent with a group in the office, etc. There’s benefits and challenges to each of the possibilities and my office will go over all of them with you. My office has a mentoring program where a productity coach works with new agents to help them through each important early career step, including getting started (obtaining your real estate license), generating business (contacts and relationships), handling the business (contract to closing) and working to build a thriving real estate career.

Most real estate companies operate under the belief that the company is great and that makes their agents great. But at Keller Williams Realty – and specifically with my Overland Park Keller Williams office – the belief is that our company and office are great because OUR AGENTS MAKE IT GREAT. My Overland Park Keller Williams office is an award winning organization offering the training, technology, leadership, favorable agent commission splits and profit sharing model that you won’t find elsewhere.

The Forbes article considered how employees rate their work environment, workers relationship with management, growth opportunities, compensation and overall satisfaction with their position in the company.  Check out the full article here on the list of top 50 Happiest Companies To Work For In 2017 and contact me to discuss the possibilities of joining Keller Williams Realty.
