This 1982 built farm home really has all the details and is just south of Lawrence, Kansas. On more than 20 acres, there are 2 acres of woods, 18 of pasture, a pond, a creek, two barns, and multiple fruit trees. The house has three bedrooms, but extra bedrooms could easily be added to the full, partially finished basement. The kitchen countertops are quartz, from Spain! There is an extra large workshop that is heated and cooled, and the garage is plumbed for compressed air. Outside the house is a wraparound deck, beautiful landscaping and sidewalk, and also a calming sitting area next to the waterfall feature that trickles down into a fish pond. What a nice dilemma to have. http://www.realestateshows.com/317708 Quality farm house, immaculate, and ready to move in 1252 N. 1000 Road, Lawr...

  There are a few key topics that really strike my attention these days, and I found an article in the paper this morning that appealed to two of them...raising my kids and saving the earth.  It was an article titled "Global View" in the Lawrence Journal World written by Christy Little.  The article describes a local group that is making a start to educate parents in making their family earth-friendly.  Lawrence is a great community, and you don't have to hang around here too long to realize that there are a lot of people in this town that care about the environment.  Sometimes that overshadows the fact that there are even more people in Lawrence that are just starting to think about going green and have no clue where to start.  This group seems like a great place to learn. The green pa...

Buyers are always on the look out for great buys that are in ready to move in condition.  Here is a reduced price short sale listing that is in great shape.  This Eudora Kansas real estate is appraised at $164,240 for 2008.  I would suggest an offer of $145,300 for this one which would be a bargain for only $95.09 per square foot. It has three bedrooms and two baths and has 1528 square feet.  It is a home for sale in Eudora. Eudora properties do not usually have large lots but this one has more than a third of an acre at 15,120 sq ft.  It is a fenced yard with a storage shed. No matter what price range you are in, if you are looking for a foreclosure, great bargains, short sales, or motivated sellers, such homes for sale can be found. Thanks and "Don't keep me a secret--I'm never too bu...

Many buyers ask me how to find properties to buy that are way below appraisal.  Well you could search the web and view hundreds of websites claiming to have below appraised properties but the best answer is to become a client of a Realtor who looks for the best bargains available.  Properties have been available for about $100,000 below county appraisal! Quite often properties that have the best value come on the market and are immediately SOLD because clients of Realtors are called first and sometimes are told about a property before it comes on the market. Here are some examples of what happens.  For the first example, on Saturday August 9th, early in the morning I found one of the homes for sale that had just been reduced in price from $160,000 to $126,000 which made it about $40,000...

814 E. 13th St, Lawrence Kansas real estate came on the market February 25th, 2008 for $187,900 as a foreclosure.  The price was adjusted to $179,900, then $174,900, then $149,900, then $129,900, then $124,900, then $106,900, then $100,900 which was when I brought an offer in for $91,750.  The foreclosure bank countered with $97,000 and my buyer countered with $95,000 which was accepted. Now one might guess this house was falling apart or had some major issues.  Well it wasn't and it didn't!  Inspections conducted showed a report of a very solid house with no major issues.   It is a two story, early 1900's, 2400 sq ft, 5 bedroom home with wood floors and lots of woodwork.  Sure it needs some clean up, some decent paint colors instead of pea soup green, etc. but this was an awful lot of ...

Google Maps has revamped their driving directions and has added walking directions (Beta).  The following screen shots will show how this valuable tool is used by me to map out the houses I will be showing my clients. For instance, this map is of the houses I am showing this evening.  You will note the total driving time is shown of 2 hours and 58 minutes and 128 miles travelled.  Google Maps used to show how many minutes and miles between houses; something I hope they will be bringing back. The walking time and directions is under Beta but it is interesting that the walking time given is 1 day and 17 hours.  I am guessing this means that if I walked the 128 miles it would take me 41 total hours or 3.12195 miles per hour.  This will not be of much use to me since I drive to the mailbox ...

Looking for an interestingly unique mud room design?  While many upscale homes have a mud room that looks classy, very few of them have the practicality or the size of this design. A Lawrence couple built a working 20 acre farm with a Federal Farm number.  They needed a practical mud room and ended up building the largest "mud room" I have ever seen!  The 28' x 40' mud room was built with a double 2 x 4 stud configuration to allow for double thickness of insulation.  It is rustic in its appearance and yet has the washer, dryer, plumbed for air compressor, heating unit, hidden air conditioner unit, ceiling fan, painted floor, various shop equipment, tools, and workbenches.  The photos help to show how the multi-purpose mud room serves as a weight room/exercise room/mini-museum/shop/utili...
