10 Reasons To Use An Agent To Sell Your Home

March 11, 2022 By april

10 reasons to use a real estate agent

My team and I have committed to helping families like yours. We want to make that process easier, and allow you to focus on the exciting aspect of Selling your home.  It’s our goal to learn more about you and how we might be able to help.

Below are a few ways that my services can benefit you. Do any of these sound helpful for your situation? Are there additional  needs you have from an agent that you would like to discuss?

Benefits of Using a Real Estate Agent:

#1. It costs nothing upfront. Real Estate Agent commission is paid at the end of the transaction.

#2. Having us on your team gives you more negotiating power. (which means better terms and higher offers)

#3. We provide superior marketing compared to our competitors. Resulting in more buyers viewing your home and submitting better offers.

#4 Using our marketing methods, we will create a prominent image of your home. Our approach includes, marketing via MLS & hundreds of other real estate portals (ie. zillow, trulia, realtor.com). Most importantly, your home will be strategically marketed, on social media
platforms, to targeted audiences. We pay for the professional photographer and all of the advertising cost.

#5. We will save you valuable time. We take care of all the paperwork, and we will perform a lot of complex services such as; writing up offers, negotiating contracts, facilitating inspections & repairs, coordinating all communications and closings with the other agent,  lenders, contractors, title company, and more

#6. We make life easier and reduces stress. We’ve helped hundreds of people with homeownership, and our experience will help keep you from any unpleasant surprises throughout the entire process. When you use us as your agent, you’ll actually be surprised at how much we do for you behind the scenes. You don’t have to worry about the deadlines and “what ifs” because we do it for you. You can spend your time doing the things you enjoy while we handle the complex, stressful duties.

#7. We are a great resource of knowledge and information. Not only are we very familiar with the history and demographics of the area, but we know a lot about real estate. We will educate you about market conditions, and answer any questions you have about the  process. Our goal is to give you the best and most accurate information to help you make the best possible informed decisions.

#8. You benefit from a network of professionals. Over the years, we’ve developed good working relationships with several home inspectors, mortgage lenders, title companies, contractors, plumbers, and professional tax and legal advisers. We know from experience which ones have delivered on time consistently and which ones have fallen short of the bar. We’ll help you find the right professionals to help ensure a successful  process without any regrets.

#9. We look out for your best interest at all times.  We have a legal and ethical responsibility to represent your best interest at all times. Some of the duties that we offer to you include: loyalty to you, promoting your best interests,  maintaining confidential information, and accounting for any money handled in the transaction. If we know something about the  buyer that might influence your decision, we have a duty to disclose that to you subject to federal and fair housing laws. In short, it’s nice to know that someone has your back when you’re in the trenches of buying or selling real estate.

#10. It’s nice to have a friend in the business. One of the things we enjoy most about working with clients is the friendships and relationships that are formed. Your friendship and trust mean more to us than any compensation we receive.

September 3, 2021 By april

Topeka Real Estate Agent Realtor Buy a Home

You are a home buyer, looking for a house to purchase, what elements should you pay attention to? You want to ensure that the property you are purchasing is worth the price. You also want to be confident with the Topeka real estate agent you are working with.

When viewing the property, you want to focus on these elements:

Structural Integrity of the Building

You may want to see if there are big cracks, however, don’t forget the little hairline cracks. Look around the bay windows, extension joints, and end-of-terrace walls. They are good indicators of the condition of the building.

Window Frames

A homeowner who has looked after the tiny details like, paint on window frames, is likely pretty attentive about the rest of the home. Test the wooden window frames by pushing your finger into the wood. Does it sink or show signs of rot?  If yes, take the condition of the home with a grain of salt.

Looking for a home to buy? Contact Chen Liang, Realtor, Keller Williams One Legacy Partners LLC, he is a Topeka buyers agent and will help you find your perfect home to buy.

#1. It costs nothing upfront. Real Estate Agent commission is paid at the end of the transaction. The commission is most often paid for by the home seller.


#2. Having us as your agent gives you more negotiating power. 

#3. It gives you full access to the MLS. As a member of the multiple listing service (MLS), I have full access to the searchable database of MLS listings. We can ask you the right questions to determine what you are looking for and what areas you are most interested in. The MLS is more accurate than zillow or other search apps 

#4. We will save you valuable time. Why do something yourself when you can have a professional  agent do it for you? We spend a lot of time previewing homes and staying familiar with the current listing inventories. This knowledge — as well as useful technologies such as virtual tours, interactive maps, Internet websites, and use of the MLS system — will save you from wasting valuable time. We will also perform a lot of the services that you otherwise might have to do your self such as writing up offers, delivering earnest money, contracts, etc. to the title companies and lenders.

#5. We make life easier and reduces stress. When you work with us, you don’t have to worry about driving neighborhoods for hours or worrying that you’re missing the house that would be perfect for you. You can spend your time doing the things you enjoy while the search is being handled by someone else who is a professional. We’ve helped hundreds of people with their real estate needs, and our experience will help keep you from any unpleasant surprises throughout the entire  process. When you use us as your agent, you’ll actually be surprised at how much we do for you behind the scenes. You don’t have to worry about the deadlines and “what ifs” because we do it for you.

#6. We take care of all the paperwork. From writing up the offer, to reviewing seller disclosures, to filling out escrow instructions, to reviewing the titlework and closing documents. . . it’s nice to have a team of professionals by your side to handle the paperwork and to help answer any questions you might have. We have done this more than a time or two, and we’ll help you cross your t’s and dot your i’s and follow up with all the parties involved to make sure everyone meets their deadlines.

#7. We are a great resource of knowledge and information. Not only are we very familiar with the history and demographics of the area, but we know a lot about real estate. We will educate you about market conditions, and answer any questions you have about the  process, including explaining fair housing laws and agency relationships. Our goal is to give you the best and most accurate information to help you make the best possible informed decisions.

#8. You benefit from a network of professionals. Over the years, we’ve developed good working relationships with several home inspectors, mortgage lenders, title companies,and other professional tax and legal advisers. We know from experience which ones have delivered on time consistently and which ones have fallen short of the bar. We’ll help you find the right professionals to help ensure a successful  process without any regrets.

#9. We look out for your best interest at all times.  We have a legal and ethical responsibility to represent your best interest at all times. Some of the duties that we offer to you include: loyalty to you, promoting your best interests, disclosing known material facts, maintaining confidential information, and accounting for any money they handle in the transaction. If your agent knows something about the seller/buyer that might influence your decision, they have a duty to disclose that to you subject to federal and fair housing laws. In short, it’s nice to know that someone has your back when you’re in the trenches of buying real estate.

#10. It’s nice to have a friend in the business. One of the things we enjoy most about working with clients is the friendships and relationships that are formed. Our goal is to provide you with the services and be the type of person that you feel the same way about us when the transaction is completed. Your friendship and trust mean more to us than any compensation we get from selling real estate. 
I look forward to getting to you know, and finding out how I might best serve you!

Be Ready to Fund Home Repairs Before the Storm Hits

January 13, 2019 By april

Be Ready to Fund Home Repairs Before the Storm Hits

Home is where the heart is, but the relentless forces of nature really don’t care.

Gusts of wind send debris hurtling at your windows, while tree branches crash onto your roof and rains flood your basement with murky water that eats at the foundation. When the storm has passed and the damage is done, it’s up to you to pay the bill for repairs, though you’re just the victim of circumstance and have done nothing wrong.

The experience is frustrating, no doubt, as any homeowner who’s gone through it would attest. However, preparing financially in advance certainly takes the sting out. You’ll be ready to have the windows replaced, the roof mended and the foundation repaired. Here’s what you need to do.

Find Out What’s Covered

Your homeowners insurance probably doesn’t cover damage due to floods, earthquakes or landslides, which require a separate policy, according to Braden Insurance Agency. The same goes for power outages and sewage backup. After going through the details of your coverage, consider buying an additional policy based on the specific risks where you live.

Look Into a Home Warranty

This doesn’t cover major structural damage, but would come in handy when repairing heating, electrical and plumbing systems or replacing major appliances. A warranty usually costs between $350 and $500 a year, a significant sum, so make sure your systems and appliances aren’t already covered by other warranties.

Set Up an Emergency Fund

That way, you won’t be put through the financial wringer by unexpected home repairs that aren’t covered by your insurance. One financial expert, who shelled out over $3,000 on maintenance over the course of three years, recommends putting a portion of your monthly income into a high-yield savings account to pay those bills when they come.

Consider Using Your Credit Card

… And do so very carefully. It makes sense in certain circumstances, such as when the overall cost of the damage isn’t high and you need to pay for repairs quickly. However, look for a card with 0 percent APR over a certain period of time, and settle the balance before that period ends. You may even end up with some rewards or benefits.

Explore Equity Options

For more expensive repairs, tapping into your home’s wealth might be the best option, though there are multiple ways of doing this. A cash-out refinance is optimal if the current interest rate is lower than the one on your mortgage. If not, home equity loans might have an advantage in terms of overall cost. Choose wisely, because there are significant risks involved.

Apply for Government Assistance

There’s help available at the federal, state and local level in the form of loans and grants for home repairs and improvement. You’ll find more information by contacting the local offices of the Department for Housing and Urban Development, Department of Agriculture and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Focus on Prevention

Though you can’t stop storms from tearing through your neck of the woods, you can cut trees or trim branches so that they don’t crash into your roof. As far as the interior is concerned, maintain your HVAC system by regularly changing the filter, and be sure to use one with a high MERV rating, which will keep your HVAC running longer without issue. This step is easier if you’ve signed up for an air-filter subscription plan, which allows you to choose the model you need based on size and rating, as well as how many you need and how often you receive them.

Learn About Contractors

This is crucial if you’re keen on paying less when the time comes to pony up for repairs. There are a number of signs that the one you’ve approached is more interested in lining their pockets than providing you with the required services, says Earl’s Plumbing. If they pull off any scare tactics, meaning they exaggerate the damage or the level of danger, you may want to move on to another candidate.

With a solid a financial plan for repairs, you’ll have less to worry about when the storm clouds gather in the distance, and you never know when that’s going to happen. Get to work on it now to save yourself money and frustration in the future.

Topeka’s Generosity Network

FORTUNATE IS THE PERSON WHO HAS LEARNED THAT THE MOST CERTAIN WAY TO "GET" IS TO FIRST "GIVE" THROUGH SOME SORT OF…

Posted by Topeka's Generosity Network on Friday, January 4, 2019

Another amazing year at Topeka’s Generosity Network. Chen & I created this organization 3 years ago! It has been a journey full of learning, growth, giving, receiving, & fun.

We created Topeka’s Generosity Network because we wanted a different experience in Networking. We wanted a place where people could focus on building long term business partnerships that would grow our community. We also wanted a place to meet reliable business owners who we could refer to our clients.

We quickly found out that the benefits of this would far exceed our expectations. In addition to referrals & friends, we improved skills such as leadership, public speaking, event planning, marketing, customer service, and more. Two of the best benefits have been the support and confidence gained by meeting weekly with people we trust. These are priceless.

As a group, in the last 3 years we have had over 400 visitors, shared referrals that generated over $150,000 in profits among members, contributed countless volunteer hours and monetary donations to non-profits in the community.

We look forward to 2019 at Topeka’s Generosity Network. We are excited to meet more Topeka community members. Both business owners and non business owners are welcome to visit our weekly meetings.

Find our facebook event at Topeka’s Generosity Network Page. We meet Wednesday’s 11:30-1pm at the Viking Grille in Topeka Kansas.

"Surround yourself with those who help you unlock your greatest potential."Today's meeting was held at The Vikings…
