Our current focus is on buyer & transaction brokerage as we frequently broker managed properties while also helping select property owners selling by owner!
Our management division, headed by Vice President Paula J. Hedges always does a great job of attracting and locating good people (tenants & buyers) to lease, lease-option or purchase property!

Since Lawrence has a large growing population of apartment renters in the wings at all times and the area is a HOT SPOT (for many things) with high relocation numbers growing annually together with a maturing baby boomer population, its only natural that people will continue to desire upgrading (leasing or buying) to professionally cared-for duplex's, town homes, condo's and updated residential homes!
SELLER SERVICES PROVIDED:
We rarely represent sellers when brokering property, unless the owner requires representation. Usually, we act as "transaction brokers" or as "buyer agents" when handling the sale of residential and/or investment property. We always disclose fully to all parties while providing many resources to seller's in order to help them with marketing, exposure and paperwork!
BUYER SERVICES PROVIDED:
1. We promote the interests of the Buyer with the utmost good faith, loyalty and fidelity when an agreement
is reached to provide buyer representation.

review disclosure forms and discuss strategies!
3. We always furnish detailed information on the entire area as needed: Schools, neighborhoods, shopping, all
services! We can show any and all MLS listings in and around Lawrence per Buyer's requirements, including for
sale by owners! We write and negotiate contracts either on the Buyer's behalf or as a transaction broker whereby
I don't represent either party to the detriment of the other. Terms defined herein.
4. We help buyers get pre-approved and estimate their closing costs and payments. We refer buyers to financial firms that will recommend the best current financing opportunities available! We coordinate and attend inspections while holding the transaction together all the way to closing.
