📣📣👉Property Taxes Just Went Up? Exercise Your Right to Appeal

Sedgwick County just released the new property tax assessments and a lot of homeowners are seeing huge increases. Property taxes already feel high enough, and when the county overvalues your home, it means you’re paying even more than you should.

The good news is you have the right to appeal your valuation.

One of the best pieces of evidence for an appeal is a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) showing what homes like yours are actually selling for in today’s market.

I’m offering free CMAs to help homeowners review their valuation and have real data if they choose to challenge it.

Send me a DM or email [email protected] and I’ll get a free CMA put together for you.

Real estate has one of the lowest barriers to entry of almost any professional field. In many states, you can go from zero experience to a licensed agent in a matter of weeks.

And that’s exactly why the public often struggles to see the value in what we do.

When consumers encounter part-time, side-hustle agents who only do a few deals a year, miss details, or treat it like a hobby, it shapes their perception of the entire industry. To them, an “agent” becomes someone who unlocks doors, sends listings, and collects a commission.

But there’s a massive difference between a side-hustle agent and a full-time professional.

A full-time agent:

Studies the market daily

Negotiates contracts regularly

Manages inspections, appraisals, and timelines

Solves problems before clients even know they exist

Has systems, experience, and relationships in place

A side-hustle agent:

May only handle a couple of transactions a year if any

Often learns on your deal

Juggles real estate between other commitments

Doesn’t always have the depth of experience when things go sideways

The truth is, real estate is simple when everything goes right.
Value shows up when it doesn’t.

And that’s the difference between someone who does real estate… and someone who does it for a living.

Free pre-listing home inspection when you list your home with Brent Topham, a Wichita real estate expert with 20+ years of industry experience. https://wichitahomeexpert.com/d8re0ybi

One thing many sellers don’t realize is how much stress and money a pre-listing home inspection can save.

Before becoming a real estate agent, I worked as a home inspector and a Class B builder/contractor. That experience taught me how small issues can turn into big problems once a buyer’s inspection happens.

A pre-listing inspection gives sellers a chance to:
• Fix issues on their own timeline
• Avoid surprise renegotiations
• Present their home with confidence

It’s not about finding everything wrong — it’s about preventing headaches later.

If you’re thinking about selling this year (or even just planning ahead), I’m always happy to talk through whether a pre-listing inspection makes sense for your situation.

No pressure. Just honest advice.

If you’re buying or selling a home outside of Kansas, one of the smartest moves you can make is working through a referring agent.

A good referring agent acts like your advocate behind the scenes. Instead of just picking a name off the internet, you get connected with a trusted agent who’s been vetted for experience, communication, and results in that specific market.

It also gives you a built-in layer of accountability. The agent on the other end knows they’re representing not just you, but also the professional who referred you—so service and follow-through tend to be much stronger.

On top of that, your referring agent can help coordinate the timing between two transactions, answer questions, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks while you’re focused on the move.

It doesn’t cost you anything extra, and it usually leads to a smoother, less stressful experience.

If you or someone you know is planning a move out of state, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to help connect you with the right people.

Moving out of state? Don’t gamble on a random agent.
A referral connects you with someone vetted, accountable, and proven—at no extra cost to you. It’s one of the easiest ways to make your move smoother and less stressful.

Reach out anytime if you need a trusted connection.

Thinking About Selling? Spring Could Mean 10% More—Don’t Miss the Window

You’ll hear it all the time—“You can’t time the market.” And in the long run, that’s mostly true. But when it comes to real estate, timing does matter, especially within the year.

Historically, homes listed in March, April, and May tend to bring the strongest prices. It’s when buyer demand is at its peak—families want to move before school starts, the weather improves, and more people are actively out looking. Because of that, it’s not unusual to see homes sell for 10% or more during the spring market compared to slower months.

That doesn’t mean you should always wait, because every situation is different. But if you have some flexibility, a well-prepared home hitting the market at the right time can make a real difference in your bottom line.

If you’re thinking about selling this year, reach out now so we can get a plan in place before the spring rush.

Not every house that looks good on the surface is a good deal. After years in construction, inspections, and real estate, there are a few things that instantly make me slow down and take a closer look. These three are some of the biggest ones buyers should pay attention to before writing an offer.
