Step into your daydreams....
A home is not a home because of its size or the color of the walls. It's about how you feel when you walk through the front door. And the way you can live your life there. It's about what YOU want. After all, it is YOUR home.
This is about more than real estate. It is about your life and your dreams, and making those dreams into a reality. That's where we come into play.
The Golden Rule...
We take a different approach to real estate, one that is built on personal touches, win-win deals and positive results. We believe in treating others the way that we would want to be treated - with expertise and care.
We utilize the latest technologies, market research and business strategies to deliver results. More importantly, we listen and that means we find solutions that are tailored to you. And we care! We love finding people that perfect place where they can live their life!
How we can help...
Whether you are buying or selling, we can help! Check out our website to find more information and to submit requests for individualized answers!
For sellers, we offer a flexible commission, cancel-at-any-time listing that even allows you to sell the home yourself and pay nothing! We deliver great marketing and responsive service to get you the best deal we can as fast as we can! We can get you SOLD!
For buyers, having your own agent is free! You can have us do the searching, calling, scheduling, and running around. You need someone to represent you and your best interests! We deliver listings as soon as they hit the market, so you never miss out!

It's still really varied. Despite the talking heads, our market here has been relatively stable. That said, prices have started declining/stagnating in the last few months. As far as if it's a good time to sell/buy, there's two scenarios. If you're buying up, it's a good time to sell. That's because if your 100k house has dropped 5% in value (for instance), you're out 5,000. But if the 200k one you have your eye on has also dropped 5%, you're saving 10,000 on your purchase, leaving you $5,000 ahead of the game.
Now if you're selling to downsize, not a great time. you'll lose more on your house than you'll save on the new one, typically.
DOM still varies by area and condition. Houses in Hot areas like Derby, upscale areas, West-side, BelAire, Andover, typically have lower DOM - 2-3 months average. The more updated, clean, move-in ready it is, the shorter the DOM. Since buyers have so much to choose from, the cream of the crop is getting picked.
I'd be happy to sit down with you and show you recent sales and activity in your area so that you can make a more informed decision. I promise you straight talk.
Fill in some info on my site for us to contact you if you want and we'll be happy to get you some information more tailored to your area and situation. - Sat Mar 22 2008, 23:02

Derby made it in Family Circle's Best Towns for families. It is considered a local hot spot, with a lot of growth lately and a lot of new building, with great schools. It's not that one town is better than another, but a personal preference. Derby is still fully in growth phase, and not yet experiencing the stagnation that Wichita has recently developed in prices.
You'll hear prices are going down, yes. They've recently started going down a bit. But you'll run into a lot of sellers that are upside down and can't lower the price even a dollar without owing at closing. It's a buyer's market, but it's still a hard one. There is a LOT of selection out there though, so it is still a pretty good time to buy! Sellers want to be negotiable, but many just don't have that leeway. Keep that in mind, get pre-qualified, and you should have your pick of homes! - Sat Mar 22 2008, 09:24

A few years ago, homes were selling fast and for top dollar. Our homes haven't necessarily dropped in value, but prices have stagnated and homes are taking longer to sell. That said, homes in great condition are going fast. There are more foreclosures and distressed sales than before.
Specials are taxes put onto a specific area to pay for infrastructure improvements. The city does the improvements then spreads the cost of those over the area affected. Most frequently you run into these in new subdivisions. The specials are the cost to put in the streets, curb, and street guttering. Each house is assessed a portion of these improvements and taxed to pay for them. The tax remains with the home, so you can sell it and the next buyer inherits the tax. Typical timeframe on these is 10-15 years. - Thu Mar 20 2008, 20:04
