Today, we want to warn you about costly mistakes that home buyers make here in Kansas City.

There are a lot of things home buyers need to be weary of in the home buying process. One of the biggest mistakes people make is going out and hiring any Realtor to find them homes, without doing their homework and finding an agent who will get the job done right. Most agents obtain their license online with no actual real estate experience. In fact, the average agent in the Kansas City area sells less than seven homes per year!

It's crucial to get an expert advisor; someone who really knows what they're doing. There are a lot of Realtors out there, but there aren't a lot of expert real estate advisors out there!

Another big mistake home buyers make is getting too emotionally attached to potential homes. When looking at homes, you need to separate facts from emotion. A good advisor will help keep you objective and really look at what the dollar value for you will be. They also make sure you are careful in crafting the terms of any offer you want to make. In other words, home buyers often fail to protect themselves and get taken advantage of in the process.

One mistake we often see buyers make is getting a lender without accountability in the process. A lot of people just jump online and get approved by a large bank and have no relationship with their actual lender. Many people don't realize how helpful personal, face-to-face service can be during the buying process.

We sit down with each and every buyer and go through the entire home buying process, covering each step along the way where decisions need to be made. This gives our buyers reasonable expectations and makes the process a whole lot smoother and stress-free. If you have questions about how we can guide you through the process, or if you need real estate assistance of any kind, please don't hesitate to reach out. We are always here to help!

testimonials from happy clients

Frederick - "We worked with Jim Kennedy from the Chip Glennon Group for 2 transactions, buying and selling, and we just thought he was a real professional. With the buy, the market kind of broke loose and we lost out on some of the houses on our list because we were low-balling them. We found a house that we had to see and didn’t want to miss out on during Memorial Day weekend so I texted Jim and without hesitation, he booked a showing for 1 o’clock the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. He just went above and beyond multiple times, not the least of which was giving up a part of his holiday weekend to help us find the home we ultimately bought."

Jerry - "He is the point man for me on the commercial property and he’s getting it developed with the procedure through the city, engineering, and all things associated with the current markets in commercial property. We’re really making progress and he’s bringing in extra people with the necessary expertise so we don’t make any mistakes, which I appreciate the cautious approach. I think he’s a sharp young man and he works really hard."

Stephen - "The house I ended up looking at happened to be an acquaintance of mine and Chip was the listing agent. He worked directly with me and the seller and all around just did a great job for us. I think he jumped through some hoops too. We has some bumps in the road as far as wrapping the loan up, but each time we had to push the closing back a week, Chip held the deal together and made it work"

Wendy - "They were just fabulous to work with. Our agent Will, was very prompt in returning calls especially since we were here in California and they were in Missouri. He was extremely courteous, professional, and knew the answers. If he didn’t know the answers, he would find out and get back to be in a very timely manner. Their staff was helpful, informative, and we’ve been very happy in working with them!"

Eric - "Everything was really good and better than I thought. The paperwork was excellent, she did all the paperwork and was very quick about it. I feel that she represented us well and I think they did a great job. They even provided me with a moving truck and that was amazing!"

John - "We sold the house in a day. They did a very good job of marketing the house and getting in the front of every page. We had our first showing and basically had an offer the same day. They whole team did a very good job of keeping me updated on all the information and they just did an exceptional job for me. I would refer them and absolutely used the again."

Don -"They were good! We sold the house in less than two weeks. The customer service was good. The agent, Will Ward, was really good. It was an easy sale for us with him. Any time I text him, he texted me right back. His communication was pretty impressive. I think as whole, the entire team did well!"

Scott - "Actually I just kind of clicked on a house one evening and my wife was looking over my shoulder and said "I want to look at that house" and I think we were on Zillow or some internet and contacted the Glennon Realty via the real estate ad. Its been easy and essentially helpful, informative. Good service. That's why we're selling our house via the same entity."
