Best in Real Estate client satisfaction by KC Magazine July 2009 Ken Jansen REALTOR

Kansas City, KS/MO (July 10, 2009) – In the July 2009 issue of KC Magazine, the 2009 FIVE STAR: Best in Client Satisfaction Real Estate Agents (SM) are announced, including Ken Jansen REALTOR a Broker Associate with Keller Williams Realty Partners, Inc. http://www.KansasCityRealEstate411.com . In addition to recognized for outstanding customer service for five consecutive years, Ken also holds the CRS, ABR, ePRO, CLHMS, and CSP designations and certifications. Ken has been servicing the Kansas City Real Estate Market since 1996. Ken can be reached at 913-908-2215 or Ken@KansasCityRealEstate411.com.

KC Magazine formed a partnership with Crescendo Business Services, an independent research firm, to identify the “best in client satisfaction” real estate agents serving the Kansas City area. This past November, Crescendo surveyed by mail and phone 22,000 Kansas City-area residents who had recently purchased homes. An additional 250 surveys were sent to mortgage and title companies, who are often best able to judge a real estate agent’s technical skills and knowledge.

On the surveys, recipients were asked to evaluate only real estate agents whom they knew through personal experience. They were asked to evaluate them based upon nine criteria, including, customer service, integrity, market knowledge, communication, negotiation, closing preparation, finding the right home, marketing of the home and overall satisfaction.

By December, stacks of surveys had arrived and Crescendo began carefully scoring and screening each nominee with the Kansas and Missouri State Real Estate Commission’s database to make certain that licenses were up to date and that no disciplinary actions were pending. Before finalizing the list, nominated agents were reviewed by a blue ribbon panel of local industry experts.

The panel consisted of realty company executives, professional and trade association officers and others directly involved in housing-related businesses. Although panelists’ comments were incorporated into the final score, safeguards were built into the review process to reduce the ability of panel members to influence the composition of the final list on the basis of company affiliation.

This year’s list of “FIVE STAR: Best in Client Satisfaction” real estate agents represents less than 5 percent of actively licensed real estate agents in the Kansas City area. We hope this list serves as a referral network for the 90,000 readers of KC Magazine. Is this list exhaustive? Of course not. There are undoubtedly many other excellent real estate agents that are not on the list this year, but don’t be surprised to see them next year.

RESEARCH DECLARATIONS:

As with any research or recognition program, it is important that we provide you the following declarations:

· The 2009 FIVE STAR Real Estate Agents do not pay a fee to be included in the research or the final list of FIVE STAR: Best in Client Satisfaction Real Estate Agents.

· The overall evaluation score of a real estate agent reflects an average of all respondents and may not be representative of any one client’s evaluation.

· The FIVE STAR Award is not indicative of the real estate agents future performance.

· The inclusion of a real estate agent on the FIVE STAR Real Estate Agent list should not be construed as an endorsement of the real estate agent by Crescendo Business Services or KC Magazine.

· Working with a FIVE STAR Real Estate Agent or any real estate agent is no guarantee that the selected real estate agent will be awarded this accomplishment by Crescendo in the future.

· For more information on the FIVE STAR Award and the research/selection methodology, go to: www.fivestarprofessional.com/reresearch.

Kind Regards,

Woodland Creek Olathe Kansas 66062 Real Estate Market Update July 9th, 2009

How many homes are for sale in Woodland Creek?

As of July 9th, 2009 there are 9 single family homes listed for sale in Woodland Creek, Olathe Kansas 66062. The current asking or ‘list’ prices range from $179,900 to $250,000. The high asking price dropped $4,900 from my last report.

How fast are the homes selling and how much are Woodland Creek homes selling for?

Since the March 1st 2009, 10 homes have sold and closed. This is reflective of the economic stimulus package for housing with the $8,000 Tax credit, spring time or seasonal time frames for a lot of movers. Since 03/01/2009 the homes in Woodland Creek Olathe KS have sold in the range of $172,500 to $253,500.

Curious about the Sales in Woodland Creek?

Feel free to contact me at ken@kansascityrealestate411.com

How much is my Woodland Creek home worth?

The trend is picking up as far as sales volume. Credit is getting slighly easier to obtain although it will not return, at least anytime soon, to the easy credit access of 2003-2005. Those days are long gone.

Buyers are very interested in the $8,000 tax credit which is spurring interest in the market.

In General, interest rates are at or near generational lows, assuming you have good credit. Now is a great time to buy, while activity is slow, before the anticipated spring heat up and get your low low low interest rate locked in.

Do you enjoy calling Complete Strangers? If not, consider the power of business by referral with BNI :: Business Networking International

Some folks enjoy cold calls. Some folks don’t. If the idea of calling or calling on someone you don’t know is uncomfortable you might want to consider doing business by referral. Placing a call to someone who has been introduced to you and your service or product by a friend or associate is often the most productive use of your time since the recipient of the call is more receptive to your product, service or ideas.

Joining an organization such as BNI, Business Networking International, gives you access not just to the members, but also to the friends and contacts of those members. You, as a business owner or business representative add value to your friends and associates since you now have a more extensive network of business and service providers which can help them out. When someone asks me about a plumbing problem, I tell them to call Chris Sandmoen with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing www.benfranklinplumbing.com . Chris and his associates, who I met through BNI, have successfully performed several plumbing repair jobs on my house and we have extremely pleased with the work and the price. I make an impression on my clients when they are looking for a plumbing expert and I can provide them with one.

If you are interested in doing business by referral, having access to a network of like-minded business professional and enjoying providing your clients with outstanding referrals for business or services they need, please call Ken Jansen at 913-908-2215 to schedule an interview and to discuss whether your business or profession is currently represented in our group. We meet Thursdays from 7:30 a.m to 9:00 am sharp in South Overland Park.
