Wow, a decade ago I walked out of that testing center with a passing grade on my very first try... a Realtor ready to make it big. Did I think I'd be reflecting back on that test ten years later?The timing of this anniversary comes at a perfect moment, when I've been wrestling with the idea in my life of how we "manifest our own destiny" verses acknowledging "God being in total control." I've had amazing discussions with some trusted friends over the past week about that topic because it keeps coming up in conversation! I have to believe it… [...]
Most people know the process of buying a home involves a home inspection prior to closing. Typically in Missouri and Kansas this is done AFTER we have a deal that both buyer and seller have agreed upon and it's typically done at the Buyer's expense. I tell my clients that we have TWO rounds of negotiation: 1) the purchase price and contingencies like closing costs, warranties etc; 2) Inspection negotiation *** SO LET'S FLIP THIS IDEA *** What if a SELLER did inspections on their own home PRIOR to even listing the house! "But Jay, that is going to cost me… [...]
Do you love your work? Do you think real estate is fun? (More importantly, do YOUR CLIENTS think real estate is fun??) My observation is that there is something intriguing about our real estate world that the general public is drawn to (why else would they make so many reality shows about it?) The interest is there and I wonder if we are "living up to the hype" when we work with our Buyers and Sellers. My question is this: Do you think there is a place for FUN in real estate? I'm sure everyone will say something like "sure,… [...]
This post is inspired by one that Brenda just wrote (check it out here) and I wanted to chime in. The essence is how agents cooperate with out-of-town agents who bring their buyers into that territory. Brenda was faced with some disappointing results but I wanted to share a cool story of how it "should" be. I sold a home in Kansas City and my sellers were being transferred 3 hours away to a satellite campus for his work. (These are 5-star clients and amazing people by the way!) They asked if I can help them buy their new house… [...]
Time to grow and I need to find someone that is able to be there with me as we serve clients better and more efficiently. I read some ads and wanted to claw my eyes out. I wanted to appeal to the "right" kind of candidate so here is what I threw out there. (PS, if you know who I need to hire in the Kansas City area, please have them apply!) ------ THE JOBAre you ready to jump into a fast paced position? Our perfect candidate will:* problem solve without being micro-managed * take ownership of problems and find creative… [...]

Excellent
“Jay did a great job helping us sell our home. We were in a difficult market and he took on the sale of our house very personally. He was available, fair and honest in answering all our questions. He walked with us through the entire process. We were especially pleased with his use of technology. […]
Held the Course
“Our journey of selling the house was hurdle after hurdle after hurdle of uncontrollable set backs. Many were very demoralizing. Jay was a rock. Held the course. If it weren’t for his steady hand, I’m sure the house would still be for sale, and I’d be recovering from a couple strokes.”
Would Recommend Him to Anyone
“We have moved a lot and have worked with a lot of other REALTORS®, I can say that Jay has been the best that we have ever worked with. We knew that Jay was on top of things and didn’t have to worry about taking care of stuff on our own (like we have had […]
