Joy Longmire, McGraw Realtors

For the past nine years it has been my pleasure to serve hundreds of clients with the sale and/or purchase of their homes, but the time has come to retire (for real this time!), and spend more time traveling with my husband, spending time with children and grandchildren, and just relaxing. Therefore, I will keep my license active with McGraw Realtors, but I will be referring my friends and clients to one of the many wonderful associates at McGraw. I can match you with the perfect associate, who will be the best match for your real estate needs. So, when thinking of buying or selling your home, remember I'm still here to help you with this most important transaction. Thanks for a wonderful nine year adventure!

"Wow! It was like match.com for real estate!" That is what a client said to me after I used McGraw's referral network, Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, to refer her family to a Realtor in the Kansas City area. I supplied the area they were interested in, price range, etc., and they were matched with the perfect real estate professional. So, whether you are moving across town or across the world, I can help you with your search. Contact me now!

When I'm working with buyers, I always say that next to a For Sale By Owner sign in a yard, there should also be one that says Buyer Beware. For both buyers and sellers it just makes sense to use a professional to get the job done. A Realtor will provide an invaluable service to both buyers and sellers by dealing with all aspects of the sale from listing to close, including market analysis, advertising, lenders, title companies, and home inspections. If you are thinking of buying or selling, I would love to help you.

Selling Your House? 5 Reasons You Shouldn't For Sale By Owner In today's market, with homes selling quickly and prices rising, some homeowners might consider trying to sell their home on their own, known in the industry as a For Sale by Owner (FSBO).
