What Is Your Kansas City Real Estate Agent Doing That Sets Them Apart From Other Agents?

Checking The Pulse Of The Kansas City Real Estate Market

There’s a common misperception that all agents are the same and that really couldn’t be more from the truth. When I look around my office I’m amazed sometimes by how DIFFERENT all of us are. I’m different in many ways from some agents and occasionally completely different than some agents. But it’s good that we’re not all the same because not all home buyers are sellers are the same.

Different buyers and sellers have different needs and personalities and it’s important that both find a “good fit” because this isn’t a relationship that ends 5 minutes later. My real estate group is constantly working to make the process easier on our clients and we provide detailed services and exceptional communication throughout the process. It’s my goal to never have a seller ask “what are you doing to market my home?” or have a buyer ask “why haven’t we heard from you the past few weeks?” Instead, we want our clients thinking “my last real estate agent didn’t do that for me!”. One of the ways we leave clients with that feeling is through our use of electronic signatures.

Electronic signatures make the signing of real estate documents take minutes rather than hours. For home buyers it can mean the difference in getting the home they want or losing it to another buyer. Once a buyer decides to make an offer, it’s often a race to get the offer together and into the listing agents hands quickly to avoid losing the home to another buyer. Nearly 50% of agents are now using electronic signatures and those who do are getting contracts processed 80% faster than the old email-print-sign-scan-email back process. So consider the services you will receive during the process, because half of agents are clearly behind the times.
