There's a large number of Realtors in Kansas City so home buyers and home sellers have a lot of choices when selecting a Kansas City real estate agent. Making sure you hire a well qualified Realtor to assist you in your home purchase or home sale is critical and become more important than ever.
Here are some important factors to consider in your Realtor...
Does the Realtor know his or her market well? Jason Brown Premier Realty Group provides expert real estate consultation services. We have an in-depth knowledge of the Kansas City and Johnson County Kansas real estate market and work daily to provide our clients with all pertinent real estate information. Our goal is always to provide the best possible outcome for our clients.
Is the Realtor a full time professional? Jason Brown Premier Realty Group is part of a small group of licensed real estate agents in Kansas City that are a member of the National Association of Realtors and also full-time real estate professionals. With the experience of more than 1,000 home transactions, a large portion of which have been new home construction sales, Jason Brown Premier Realty Group has the experience buyers and sellers need and deserve. We are a member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the Kansas Association of Realtors (KAR), Kansas City Regional Association of Realtors (KCRAR) and Heartland Multiple Listing Service (HMLS - Kansas City Multiple Listing Service). As a full-time professional we know that precise decisions must be made every step of the way and that's why high pressure sales tactics are not part of our business philosophy.
Is the Realtor being chosen because they are a friend or family member? If so, only choose that Realtor if they have a track record of success. Choosing a family member who lacks elite real estate skills often results in a failed transaction - and leads to hard feelings between friends and family members. Buying and selling real estate is a complicated process and a top Realtor should be hired to protect your investment. Buyers and sellers should only use a friend or family member if they are confident the critical steps in the real estate transaction will be handled properly.
If buying, does the Realtor provide you hundreds of pages of valuable real estate information? Jason Brown Premier Realty Group has a custom web site that is one of the largest and best Realtor web sites in the country. We provide a vast amount of valuable real estate information to educate home buyers and home sellers on real estate related matters and on the Kansas City and Johnson County KS area.

If buying, has your Realtor informed you why having a Buyer's Agent is essential? All Realtors should be able to do the basics such as arranging property showings, providing accurate information, explaining forms and agreements and monitoring a closing. These are the minimum qualifications you need in your Realtor. Jason Brown Premier Realty Group also completes a market analysis, kee ps your financial position in confidence, protects and promotes your best interests, negotiates the best price and terms for you, passes on information to enhance your bargaining position, provides exposure to the entire real estate market that fits your wants and needs, provides anonymity if needed, researches important factors pertaining to the real estate transaction and will point out reasons not to buy if applicable.

If selling, is the Realtor providing you with an inflated property evaluation just to get your home listing? This is commonly known as "buying a listing" and is a tactic which home sellers should be prepared to confront. It is imperative your home is priced properly and your Realtor should be able to justify the suggested list price they provide. Jason Brown Premier Realty Group tells Sellers the truth based on comparable homes and current market conditions. We always communicate with our clients about the ever changing real estate market and we provide accurate information so our clients can make solid real estate decisions.

If selling, will the Realtor properly market your home with outstanding online exposure? A home listing easily receives the most exposure online, so be sure your home will be available to all buyers who are searching on the internet. Jason Brown Premier Realty Group is listed on more than 2,000 web sites around the world and our homes receive maximum online exposure. We are a member of the Point2 Agent Real Estate Agent Referral Network with over 105,000 members. We have a LARGE referral network and are currently marketed on 500+ affiliate web sites. This allows home buyers to quickly learn about our listings when searching for Kansas City, Johnson County Kansas, Overland Park, Leawood, Shawnee, Lenexa, Olathe, Gardner and Prairie Village real estate information and homes for sale. Our web site receives 75,000+ web hits each month. We are Kansas City's leading online Realtor and we are in the top 2% of online Realtors nation-wide.

If selling, is the Realtor offering discount services? What seems to be a great deal can quickly turn into nothing more than a sign in the yard and a listing on MLS - and no expert guidance throughout the real estate transaction. Home sellers need to be sure their Realtor has a powerful marketing plan in place and that the Realtor has the skills to provide top notch service. Selling real estate is much more complicated than it was even ten years ago, so it's imperative that sellers know they have a Realtor working for them who understand the ins and outs of the business and also understand online marketing. 87% of home buyers are first viewing online the home they will ultimately purchase. So it's a shenanigan to consider the marketing plan on a home to simply be a sign in the yard and placing the home on MLS. It is clear to most that Limited Service Brokerages provide limited value compared to the average Realtor. But home sellers shouldn't stop there. Don't just hire the average Realtor. Take the necessary next step and list your home with a Realtor who will ensure the marketing on your home blows the competition away. Jason Brown Premier Realty Group will diligently look after your best interests from beginning to end and we list our sellers homes in HUNDREDS of place online. If you want to learn more about the problems associated with using a Limited Service Brokerage, please visit our Limited Service Brokerages page.
If selling, is the Realtor being chosen for the wrong marketing reasons? There are many marketing tactics that may appear to be great selling tools, but some are weak at best. One of these is open houses. Less than 2% of homes are sold as a result of an open house and they really are more of a way for a Realtor to prospect buyers for other homes, since the odds of that person buying the seller's home is small. The fact that less than 2% of homes sell as a result of an open house means it's important home sellers do not let open houses be the central focus of the marketing plan on their home. Jason Brown Premier Realty Group knows that marketing a home online must be the central focus of the marketing plan. We use advanced management software to produce, manage and follow up with prospective home buyers online. Our listing photos get PUF photo technology which makes normal MLS photos look out-of-date. All marketing is done with the ultimate goal of getting buyers to view your home online because nearly all of our listings sell after buyers view the home on our web site. To make it easy for buyers to navigate to our listings, we provide each of our listings its own unique online domain name (web address).
