Wichita Homes for Sale-Benefits of Listing with an Experienced Agent                   Have you ever heard that all Wichita Real Estate Agents are the same?   Actually there is a very big difference between an experienced Wichita Real Estate Agent and one who is not.   In Wichita, about 20% of the Agents sell 80% of the Real Estate.   That leaves 80% of the Agents selling the remaining 20%.   The first thing you want to look for is the Top 20%!   Some other things to consider are this: -In 2008 my Wichita Home Sellers received 99.59% of their asking price...Would selling your home for thousands more than the Average Wichita Agent help you? -My listings sell on average 23 days faster than the other listings in the MLS...Would not having to pay another mortgage payment put more money in y...

Wichita Homes for Sale-Why work with a "Realtor" It's important to find out if you are working with a Real Estate Agent or a "Realtor" when you are buying a home in Wichita or selling your Wichita home.   The distinction is that a Realtor is a member of the National Association of Realtors.   Not all Real Estate Agents are Realtors.   As a member of the National Association of Realtors, the Wichita Real Estate Agent has subscribed to a strict code of ethics.   The code of ethics addresses many professional standards and holds those members up to a high standard of conduct. When you are looking to buy a Wichita home for sale, be sure to ask your Buyer's Agent if they are a "Realtor".   If you are thinking of selling your Wichita home, it is just as important to have "Realtor" representat...

Wichita Homes for Sale-Helping Buyers get Pre-Approved for a Home Loan: Getting pre-approved prior to shopping for your Wichita Home...It's really important in the Wichita market to visit your financial or lending institution prior to buying your Wichita home.   One benefit of this is that quickly you’ll know the amount of mortgage you’ll receive. This will allow you to search for your Wichita home in the right price range.   Most importantly, you’ll tell Wichita sellers that you are a serious prospect.
