Checking The Pulse Of The Kansas City Real Estate Market

When it comes to customer satisfaction among the national real estate brokerages, Keller Williams Realty is heads and shoulders above the rest, according to J.D. Powers and Associates. Keller Williams receive the only 5 star rating in a group that included Prudential, Caldwell Banker, Re/Max and Century 21.

There were separate categories for home buyers and home sellers in the J.D. Powers and Associates study. Keller Williams had the highest scores in both categories. For home buyers, the J.D. Powers and Associates 2012 study considered the individual real estate agent, the brokerage office and a variety of additional services. For home sellers, the study considered the same factors as the buyer study, in addition to marketing of the property. The report concluded “Keller Williams has set itself apart by performing in all the areas that are most important to customers, specifically with the agent, the offices, and the services that they provide.”

The report also finds a correlation between the highest performing companies and a higher sales price compared to list price for sellers. Our real estate market locally has improved overall in the past year but there are still many hurdles to clear in today’s market when buying or selling a home… and the difference between a buyer’s market and seller’s market can be just a few blocks apart. My real estate group is committed to providing expert representation to buyers and sellers and if you’re plans include buying or selling a home in Kansas City, Johnson County Kansas, Overland Park and the surrounding areas, we look forward to assisting you.
