Deal with agent

In Kansas, real estate agents must disclose all known material facts, adverse conditions, and environmental hazards regarding new construction to buyers, even if the builder provides a warranty. Key requirements include disclosing structural, plumbing, or electrical defects, drainage issues, special assessments, and mandatory lead-based paint disclosures for homes built before 1978. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]  
Key Disclosures for New Construction in Kansas: 

• Adverse Material Facts: Agents are required to disclose any known material defects, even if not fully completed, such as issues with the foundation, roof, or HVAC systems. 
• Environmental Hazards: Knowledge of hazardous materials, radon gas, or other environmental issues affecting the property must be disclosed. 
• Property Condition: Although new, any known issues, such as drainage problems or water in the crawl space/basement, must be disclosed. 
• Special Assessments/Fees: Information on special taxes or assessments that may apply to the new development. 
• Builder/Agent Relationship: If the agent has a financial interest in the building company or the transaction, this must be disclosed. 
• Lead-Based Paint: A federal requirement for any residential structure built before 1978. [1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]  

While sellers of new construction may sometimes claim exemptions from a standard residential seller's disclosure form, agents are still obligated to disclose any material defects they are aware of in the property. [4, 8]

Agency

The most reliable data on this comes from the **National Association of Realtors (NAR)** annual Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers reports (the latest available as of late 2025 cover 2024-2025 data).

- **91%** of sellers used a real estate agent (listing agent) to sell their home, with only about 5% being For Sale By Owner (FSBO) sales — an all-time low.
- **88%** of buyers purchased their home through a real estate agent or broker (buyer's agent).

These figures indicate that the vast majority of residential real estate transactions involve **professional agent representation on both sides** (a listing agent for the seller and a separate buyer's agent for the buyer). 

To arrive at the percentage with **two agents** (one for each party, the most common scenario):
- Transactions with two separate agents are the norm in agent-assisted sales, as dual agency (where one agent or the same brokerage represents both sides) is far less common and often restricted or disclosed specially due to potential conflicts of interest.
- While exact nationwide dual agency percentages aren't directly broken out in NAR's main highlights (they vary by state and are generally a small minority, often estimated under 10-15% of agent-involved deals based on industry discussions), the overlap of high buyer and seller agent usage rates strongly implies that **around 80-85% or more** of all residential transactions involve two distinct agents.
  - This is a conservative cross-estimate: If ~90%+ of sales have a seller's agent and ~88% have a buyer's agent, and assuming most buyer-agent purchases align with listed (agent-sold) properties rather than FSBO, the intersection points to the large majority having both.
- The small remaining portion includes FSBO sales (often no agents or just a buyer's agent if the buyer has one), pure dual agency cases, or unrepresented parties.

In short, **the overwhelming majority** — likely **over 80%** and possibly closer to 85-90% based on recent NAR trends — of U.S. residential real estate sales involve two agents (one representing the seller and one the buyer). This has been a consistent pattern, with agent involvement rising in recent years.

Note that post-2024 commission rule changes (from NAR settlements) may influence future buyer agent usage slightly, but current data still shows strong reliance on both sides. For the most precise current figure, the full NAR Profile report (available on nar.realtor) is the gold standard source.

YouTube is generally considered the best, most reliable platform for long-term, high-volume video views, particularly due to its search engine capabilities and vast audience of over 2.5 billion users. For rapid, viral growth in short-form content, TikTok and Instagram Reels are top competitors. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Here is a breakdown of the best platforms for video views based on content type:
  • YouTube (Long-form & Search): Best for evergreen content, tutorials, and building a loyal, searchable audience.
  • TikTok (Short-form/Viral): Best for fast, organic reach and reaching a younger audience (under 44).
  • Instagram Reels (Short-form/Visual): Best for high engagement and visual storytelling.
  • LinkedIn (Professional/B2B): Highly effective for B2B, educational, or professional video content. [1, 2, 6, 7, 8]
This video explains how to get more views, followers, and engagement on social media platforms:

Key Factors for Success:
  • Consistency: Regularly posting (e.g., weekly or bi-monthly) is essential for growth.
  • SEO: Optimizing titles, tags, and descriptions helps YouTube videos remain discoverable for years.
  • Quality: High-quality, engaging content is crucial to gaining traction. [6, 7, 9, 10, 11]
