Family Moving to Overland Park

by Cindy on July 19, 2010

Met with new family coming to Overland Park area today. We have talked may of times on the phone about homes in Overland Park, the park & recreations available, activities for children, the quality of lifestyle in Kansas City & more.  One question had come to mind,  What to do with the home in San Diego? They realize the market is down and the fluctuations  of the market conditions that can take in the California market isn’t new.  Plus they wanted to make sure they would stay in the Kansas City area prior to selling it.   They thought about being a landlord. We discussed all the pros and con’s of it.  There are plenty on both sides! I know,  I own investment properties in Overland Park too! I wanted to help my buyers with this decision.  Since I belong to several networking groups across the country.  I made a few calls to those connections who live in the San Diego area.  I asked for some help in finding reputable property managers.  Brian Brady & Don King of the San Diego area both had contacts in the property management field.  Wow!  I was able to give this family some insight of where to start in getting their home rented!  Now how cool is that!  I was thrilled I took the time to do a little bit of research for them!  Hopefully this will make the move to Overland Park, KS  easier!  One less thing on their to do list prior to leaving San Diego and one easier step to get here!  Welcome to Kansas City!!
