Best Practices for using an Escalation Addendum
Due to the low inventory of residential real estate coming onto the market and a high demand from buyers competing for those properties, many real estate companies have been using a “Purchase Price Escalation Addendum” (or Escalation Clause). KCRAR has released a form to help standardize the process, and provide 'Best Practices' for utilizing Escalation Addendums in your business.

Cinch Home Warranty Survey
Cinch conducted a study & found 95% of homebuyers find issues after closing! Read to see how many Sellers admitted to selling a home with an issue the Buyer was unaware of, how many Sellers admitted to hiding issues, and the types of problems that were not disclosed. The results are eye-opening!!

All areas of Johnson County are covered except Overland Park, and within the city limits of De Soto, Gardner and Edgerton.
