Turn Right/East on 48th Ter. Go almost to end of block.  Home is on the left/north.  See you there! Selling Your Home in Today's World... We know this has been a tough market to sell a home in right now - but IT CAN BE & IS BEING  DONE!  If you want your home to sell, rather than just sit for months on end, it is necessary in  today's world, to do more work on the property than had to be done just even several years ago.  The homes that are selling the fastest right now, are the ones that have that "Move-In Ready" look; with fresh neutral paint, new flooring, updated kitchens, bathrooms, lighting & plumbing  fixtures, even new cabinet pulls or knobs, as well as refreshed or updated landscaping. Whatever you can afford to do, DO IT!   At the very least, making all needed repairs and a coat of fresh paint throughout the interior of the home will make a HUGE difference! I think you will be suprised at how much more, some good old DIY work to make your home "Move-In Ready" will bring at your closing.  At the very least, prior to any showings, tours or Open Houses, it is vitally important to make every surface SHINE, SHINE, SHINE; especially any glass or stainless steel, any tile work, appliances and countertops. I've seen people pull up to a showing, only to drive away from what appeared to be a dirty, unkept yard & front porch with broken or dirty light fixtures.  I've also seen people walk into the entryway of a home with dirty floors or walls & old fixtures, then turn around and walk back out again.  Don't let this happen to you & your home!   WELCOME all potential buyers, with the BEST house they'll see that day or month, and you will see the sale of your home come that much sooner...  Let your house be the one they'll want to come back to a second time and buy.   Call us when you're ready to list your home, at: (913) 449-6132 or (913) 948-1600.  We'll be happy to help you.

OUR FEATURED NEIGHBORHOOD:
Come See Beautiful
LAKE QUIVIRA, KANSAS

    

Lake Quivira is a private Country Club & Resort Community in North/East Kansas, offering a mix of recreational & social
amenities unmatched in the Kansas City Metropolitan area.  All residents of this private community become members
when they acquire property within the development. This gated lake resort community sits atop 900 + acres atop
the wooded bluffs of the Kaw River. Generally home to successful professionals, retirees and their families, Lake
Quivira's population is approximately 1,200.  Gorgeous homes overlook the lake or golf course, or are in private
wooded areas.  Most all have their own private boat-docks. Residents benefit from shared social amenities, an
extremely low crime rate and close and close proximity to urban Kansas City. 

Lake Quivira is near Kansas City (MO. & KS), Shawnee & Lenexa, and just a few miles from Overland Park,
Bonner Springs or Olathe, Kansas. It is situated in both Johnson and Wyandotte counties, and benefits from
having a hand in the community organizations from both. It is also just a short drive to many shopping areas and
Highway I-435 off Holiday Drive.  Residents of Lake Quivira enjoy a close, private community without sacrificing  
the convenience of city life, with 24/7 security to keep an eye on its valuable homes and facilities.

      

Lake Quivira amenities encompass everything from a magnificent (recently renovated) 3 story Club House w/ banquet
facilities, that hosts lunch & dinner, or any of your special event needs, a quality award winning elementary & pre-school,
a non-denominational church, 18 hole Golf Course w/Pro, Putting Green, 6 lighted Tennis Courts w/Pro, Soccer Field
Equestrian Facilities and Riding Club with 10 Acres of Riding space, Exercise Trail, a Sailing Club, and a 220 acre lake
for fishing, boating (25 hp max), swimming, a beach, a picnic bandstand & dock, & much, much more.  This unique
blend of resort-style living with easy metropolitan access, makes Lake Quivira a very desirable community in the
Shawnee-Mission School District.  This is considered by most to be the very best in resort style living you
can find in North East Kansas.

       

The Country Club hosts several social clubs, plus all sorts of fun events; including annual Barbecues, Golf Tournaments,
Holiday & Lake Events, even many youth activites  & creative classes. This special community offers a refreshing
reprieve from the frenzied pace of modern urban life.  It can´t be denied that the Lake Quivira Community & Country Club
is a treasure of natural beauty & splendor in all that it offers.

Call me to see any home for sale in this wonderful community -
by Appointment Only.  Sandi - 913-449-6132 or Jessica - 913-948-1600.

DIRECTIONS to Lake Quivira:

From I-435:  Take Holiday Drive east for about 1 mile, until you see the Lake Quivira sign by the Golf Course,  
where you will turn right on Cresent Dr. into Lake Quivira and check in at the Guard Gate.  You cannot gain
entry into the area, without check in first.  So call me if you'd like to see a home in this community.

are still among the lowest of any major city in the nation. Newcomers can choose a quaint historic home in a
