Current & New Listing Information Access

Because Mark is a licensed real estate agent, he has access to the Multiple Listing Service which contains literally thousands of homes and properties currently for sale. The market moves and changes quickly and the MLS is updated constantly. Mark can provide you with the most up-to-the-minute information on available homes that meet your specific needs and desires. You won’t have to worry that you’ll miss out on your dream home because you noticed it too late.

Determining Your Needs and Purchasing Ability

Mark will begin by helping you determine what type of property fits your needs best. He’ll ask you a series of questions to help you think about what matters to you most in your lifestyle and help guide you in getting pre-qualified through a local lender. Then he can go to work alerting you to homes or lots that fill those needs in a quick and timely fashion. When you decide a property interests you, he will set up an appointment and arrange to take you for a showing that is comfortable for your schedule.

Knowledge and Experience in the Local  Market

Because Mark is so experienced and possesses such a great understanding of the Johnson County real estate market, he will be able to represent your best interests in all transactions. Mark will be honest with you in his advice about the listing prices of properties and will provide market research to determine if it is priced fairly.

Knowledge of the Buying Process

When you come to the point of making an offer, Mark will work with you in determining a proper offer through researching the property and utilizing his extensive market knowledge. He’ll prepare and present the necessary forms and he’ll lead you through the negotiation process so you can feel confident it will be handled in your best interests.
Mark will also be sure to thoroughly explain all forms and potential concerns involved with the property in which you are interested. He’ll make sure you are provided with and understand all pertinent information, including covenants, contracts, association reports and fees, and property condition disclosures. He’ll also explain all issues that arise, such as contingencies, tax issues, building ordinances and foreclosure procedures.

Listing Your Current Home

Finding a new home is a highly gratifying experience, but you also must think about selling your current home, if you have one. Mark can help make the transition of selling your home go as smoothly as possible so you can purchase your new home without worry.
