Get to Know Becky S. Burghart
I am Becky S. Burghart, a full service REALTOR® located in Topeka KS. I have lived in the Topeka area all my life. As a REALTOR® I am considered an independent contractor working for myself. I am an agent with an impeccable work ethic and I remain on target to sell more homes than most real estate agents in the Topeka area. If problems arise, you talk to me or if you have questions/concerns, you talk to me. I value my services and reputation and I understand the seriousness of my job. As a core value, I believe that if I am going to spend more time working than I do with my family, I am going to enjoy every aspect of my work and contribute my best effort in order to have peace of mind and THAT is why I am driven to success.
I have a great deal of expertise, knowledge and experience when it comes to serving the best interest of my Buyers and Sellers and I am not afraid to mix things up, especially in our current market. I care about the people I serve and HOLD MYSELF TO THE HIGHEST ETHICAL AND PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS. Currently, 65% of my business comes from referrals, 20% is from friends & family who know me best and 15% from new clients. I value all my clients but referral business is my greatest compliment.
PROFESSIONALLY: I give of my time to improve the overall performance of Real Estate Agents by servicing the industry. I recently became certified as a Relocation Expert. So, if you are moving into our area OR out of the area and you are working thru a Relocation Company, I am your agent.
I am President of the Topeka Area Association of Realtors, Director for the Kansas Association of Realtors®, member of the National Association of Realtors® TAARMLS board. I serve at the pleasure of my fellow real estate agents on the following Boards: Board of Directors and Executive Committee; in addition the following committees: Nominating committee, and the Grievance Committee (who follow up on consumer real estate complaints.) I have been elected twice to serve on the Topeka Area Association of Realtors® - Board of Directors in 2006-2014 Treasurer for our association in 2012. I am active in Professional Standards and A Board Director at the State Level. In 2011, I was admitted into the prestigious Master's Club closing over $32,417,000. in a minimum of 5 years. In 2009, I was awarded the prestigious award of "Outstanding Member of the Year" and the "Making a Difference" award for extraordinary service to the association and volunteer efforts.
I have lived here all my life. Who better to assist in your Real Estate needs? I was educated in the Shawnee Heights School district, K-12 and attended Washburn University while working for the State of Kansas full-time. I am a prior business owner and served the State of Kansas in a number of employment positions. I also went above and beyond by serving at the pleasure of the Governor on various committees to enhance the health and wellness of state employees and benefit packages, the State of Kansas collection system and various other committees.
On a more personal note; I am married, the mother of 3 children, and caregiver to elderly parents. I enjoy trying to balance family, religion, health, community and my job. I am involvement in community activities especially sponsoring various school activities, children and battered programs for women, such as Women United who pick up where other service programs fail to assist women & children in need. I support Housing and Credit Counseling of Topeka and the United Way. I also enjoy my memberships into National professional women's group such as American Business Womens Association and the National Association of Professional Women. My volunteer activities are centered around the needs of others through the Ride to Recovery program-American Cancer Society, delivering Meals on Wheels, donating blood and my Church.

Anyone who has had a real estate experience will tell you, You NEED a REALTOR®.... with knowledge, expertise, and experience. That's Becky!!
Buying and selling real estate is a complex transaction requiring time, effort, patience and know how. If you are a first time home buyer, I am your agent. I will walk you comfortably through the buying process step by step so you are making good, informed decisions. If you are a seasoned buyer or seller I will share with you changes in the market since your last real estate experience. If you are Relocating IN or OUT of the Topeka area, I have experience working with a number of RELOCATION COMPANIES and not all relocation's companies are the same. Having an experienced agent who has a working relationship with relocation companies can make the difference in a TIMELY purchase or sell.
Becky is knowledgeable of real estate law, evaluating your financing options, title requirements and what it takes to provide clear title to a property, taxing issues, preparing and negotiating contracts including what inspection companies to use and why inspections are recommended. In the end, Becky's TRANSACTIONS CLOSE AND THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF A REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION.
Becky is unselfish with her time. Whether you are a 1st time buyer who needs a little extra explanation of the buying or selling process, she will give you the time, a FSBO with a question or another agent, she makes time to help those in need. A perfect example is in 2006 she was elected by fellow Real Estate Agents as a Director for the Topeka Board of Realtors. "Because of the positions I currently hold on the Grievance Committee and as a prior Board of Directors, I hold myself to the highest of ethical and professional standards."
What is one to do if selling in a downward moving market? HIRE ME!!! Using my Unique Sales and Marketing tools is the key to my continuedsuccess. (See Awards listed below.) I collect marketing materials Nationwide, analyze what will or will not work here in Topeka, Kansas then, I continually run different approaches thru a battery of tests to come up with my "Ultimate Sales & Marketing Machine." I have agents from other companies complimenting my creativity-all to benefit my Sellers. This tool has helped me become one of Topeka's Top Agents. Thus far, according to the NAR (National Association of REALTORS®) I am on target to out sell the average Real Estate agent 5 to 1!!! That is huge in our downward market.
WHY BECKY?....Because I understand what is going on in this unstable market and I position myself to stay ahead. IT IS THAT SIMPLE. You don't want an agent who puts the listing on MLS, has a couple of open houses and says, "It's just the market." WHAT A COP-OUT.
Whether you are a first time buyer, retiring, moving up or downsizing. I stay in constant communication with my buyers and sellers. If changes in the market occur whether at the national level or locally we discuss the impact changes have on YOU and we put a plan in place to your advantage.
I DO THE RIGHT THING. Believe me when I say, buying and selling homes is as different as people are. I will be the first to tell you I have turned away many buyers and sellers because I was not the right person for the job OR it is just not the right time for them to sell (no equity) or buy (no money). If it is not a WIN-WIN for both of us, we will be miserable but I also help you find the right person for the job. No hard feelings, it's just BUSINESS.
With my experienced group of professionals together we guarantee you a positive experience. In fact, many become my "Testimonial Clients." If you are thinking of selling and getting the most money in the shortest period of time with the least amount of hassles call me. If buying, I offer a GREAT "Hassle Free Buyer's Program" defining exactly what you want, when you want it and I find it. I don't waste your valuable time showing homes I already know will not work. Finally, 75% of my business is repeat clients, referral customers or testimonial clients-someone who I've helped buy or sell a home and they shared my name with another person buying or selling.
