There was an interesting article in the Kansas City Business Journal about how the County Economic Research institute estimates that Johnson County Kansas is set to become the largest populated county in the Kansas City Metro by 2023 (based on projections from the Mid American Regional Council).
If that growth holds true, that is good news for long term housing appreciation in Johnson County. While the growth would obviously be hinged on employment growth... The real key for Johnson County is not losing site of services such as schools, roads, and crime while be able to keep property taxes at reasonable levels. If the county were to lose site of those key elements, all the employment in the world would only make Johnson County a place for great jobs while the surrounding counties would thrive as commuter counties.
Shermans Travel ranks Kansas City the #4 most underrated city in the United States. As someone who was not raised in Kansas City, I can agree with that. Before moving to the Midwest, I (like many East coasters) really did not know how much Kansas City really had to offer.
The US News and world report compiled a list of "America's Most Miserable Airports" and this is one list where it is better to be at the bottom. Fortunately Kansas City International was pretty close to the bottom. It was the 3rd least miserable on the list of 47 major US airports. For the frequent traveler, another good reason to call Kansas City home.
Johnson County Commissioners voted 5-1 in favor of an approximate 8.5 mile land annexation by Overland Park. Overland Park was originally wanting the southern annexation to extend to around 203rd street but received approval for an annexation that extends to around 191st and as far south as around 199th st in parts. The Kansas City Star reports that the annexation granted works out to be about 60% of what Overland Park had originally anticipated.
Mission Forest is a subdivision located south east of 103rd street and Mission Road in Leawood Kansas. The Plat for the Mission Forest subdivision (BLKS 1-4) is made up of 45 homes. The subdivision is comprised mostly of 1.5 and 2 Story homes built in the late 1970's. Mission Forest is located in the Shawnee Mission School District with the schools for most of the homes being Shawnee Mission East High School, Mission Valley Middle School, and Brookwood Elementary School.
Mission Forest is conveniently located within easy access to 435 Highway as well as Kansas City Missouri and Overland Park Kansas. It also is located just north of the new Mission Farms mixed use development being built at 107th and Mission Road.

About Michael Pierce:
I have been selling real estate since 2001 and have been very fortunate to gain a great deal of knowledge from my experiences along the way.
One key to getting your home sold fast and for the most amount of money is pricing it properly from the start. I thoroughly study the comparable sold properties to get an accurate assessment of your homes value. For a brief video of some of the tools that I use to get your home sold, click here. I am able to use vast amounts of internet marketing and my web presense to expose your home to the most amount of buyers. Prudential's nationally recognized brand and relocation department allows your home to be seen on a national level by many out of town buyers. With Prudential Kansas City Realty's unmatched website (www.PruKC.com) as well as many technology tools for buyers and sellers, your home will be exposed to the most amount of buyers, when you list your home with me.
When it comes to buying a home, I am able to listen to your likes and dislikes and sift through the 1,000's of homes on the market to find the homes that best fit your criteria. I also have tools available that can notify you when a property that fits your criteria comes on the market so you can be one of the first people to see new listings.

"your site has much better search capabilities than some others I've seen. I especially like the feature that posts changed status at the top of the page, so each time I log on I immediately see that a price has dropped or a new property falls within my search criteria." Rod W.
This is a response from a buyer I came in contact with from the internet. Although we had never met, this was his responce to my email after receiving his login information to gain access to my website services:
"Yes, you are my agent. I don't plan on talking to anyone else as long as I get to use your internet service, which is heads and tails above anyone else's services." Jake G.
