Kansas City Real Estate Podcast with James Hern and Michael Hern

What is a buyer’s needs analysis? In short, it’s a comprehensive interview that we have with you in which we take you through the buying process and learn a little bit more than what we call the three B’s of buyers. If you’ve talked to other agents and the only questions they asked you about revolved around the three B’s of buyers— “beds, bath, and budget”—then you need to be cautious of working with them. Those types of agents aren’t interested in what is going to be important for you with regard to your next home. After all, finding the perfect home involves more than asking about how many bedrooms or bathrooms you need, or about your budget. “During your buyer’s needs analysis, we’ll ask you questions that get to the core of what a dream home is like for you.” For example, what do you want your home to say about you? What would you like to feel when you walk into that home? Are you looking for more of a formal eating space or do you prefer an open concept? During your buyer’s needs analysis, we’ll ask you questions that get to the core of what a dream home is like for you. When you sit down with us for this 30- to 40-minute discussion, we’re saving you hours on the back-end because when you tell us exactly what you’re looking for, we can take you right to it. That makes sense, doesn’t it? If you have any questions about the buyer’s needs analysis or about buying a home in general, feel free to reach out to us. We’d love to hear from you!

How Can You Benefit From Having a Home Warranty?

How important is a home warranty? If you’re purchasing a new home, it’s not too important because you’ve already got a lot of warranties built in by the home builder and the appliance manufacturers. New construction home purchases make up a small percentage of all home sales, though, which means there are a lot of other homebuyers out there dealing with old appliances and the like. “For just $500 to $600, you can buy peace of mind.” This is where home warranties become very valuable. For just $500 to $600, you can buy peace of mind. Your warranty will not only cover your most important appliances (furnace, water heater, refrigerator, etc.), but it will also cover your plumbing and electrical systems. Not to mention, your home warranty is renewable every year, so you can keep having that peace of mind until however long you like. Whether you want to get a home warranty or not is your decision, but I highly suggest you do so. If you have any questions about this or any other real estate topic, don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I’d be happy to help you.

Why Should You Use a Real Estate Agent to Sell Your Home?

If you’ve ever wondered why you should hire a real estate agent to help you sell your home, there are a few key reasons. For starters, how do you know how much your property is worth? If you’re basing your home’s worth on what a neighbor sold their home for, it doesn’t mean that’s what you’ll get for your house. By finding your home’s true value based on market data and not strictly opinion or hearsay, you’ll learn where you stand. “Just asking a real estate professional about whether and where you should spend your money will prevent that loss.” Sellers also commonly make the mistake of doing unnecessary repairs. They’ll often make improvements that won’t bring them a valuable return upon the sale of their home. Just asking a real estate professional about whether and where you should spend your money will prevent that loss. We’re here to help you get the most money from your home sale. Isn’t that what selling your home is all about? If you have any questions about hiring an agent or about selling your home, reach out to us. We’ll be happy to answer any of your questions.
