Listen, I’m a fiscal conservative and people have the right to make whatever amount of money they can make. But damnit, I’m tired of paying for it when the money ultimately comes through my tax dollars and pointless consumer fees.

Lead Based Paint Disclosures & Your Kansas City Rental Property
Just my yearly friendly reminder that if you are a landlord in Kansas City, or anywhere in the U.S. for that matter, you need to have a lead based paint disclosure signed by all your tenants if the home was built before 1978.
You can find all you need to know about the subject here:

And by the way…rock chalk!
NOTE: After posting this I received an email from Kim Tucker over at MAREI regarding Lead Training. She gave me the following link regarding Lead if you’d like to review:

Kansas City Real Estate Agents
So I went to required training today at the Kansas City Regional Association of Realtors building over in Leawood, Kansas. It was the 4 hour required CORE class for both Kansas and Missouri. I talked to, and listened in on, quite a few real estate agents. And I have to say that I am baffeled at how professional some agents are and how unprofessional others are.
Let me be clear, there are a lot of really good real estate agents. But there are also real estate agents that no matter how many times you explain something, or however slowly you speak, they just don’t get it. Should these individuals be representing your largest asset?
I beg you, please, interview a couple to three agents before hiring someone. You don’ t have to like them. But you have to know they are competent and professional. After speaking to them for about 15 minutes you should be able to tell if they qualify. 🙂
