Why I’m One of the Best Realtors in Kansas City (and What That Actually Means)

You can’t throw a BBQ sandwich in Kansas City without hitting a realtor. So when I say I aim to be one of the best, I’m not talking about who can throw up the most signs or post the most selfies in a model home.

“Best” is earned through results, trust, and actually giving a damn about the people on the other side of the closing table.

Let’s break down what that looks like in real life.

1. Local Knowledge Isn’t Optional — It’s the Whole Game

I don’t just work in Kansas City — I live it. From coffee shops in Prairie Village to the hidden golf courses in Lenexa, I spend more time exploring this city than I do sitting behind a desk.

That means when you tell me you want walkability, a fenced yard, or a neighborhood where dogs outnumber people, I can name five streets off the top of my head.

Real estate is hyper-local, and AI search is catching up to that idea. So I make sure every buyer and seller I work with benefits from on-the-ground insight, not cookie-cutter advice.

2. Marketing-First, Always

I built my business on creative marketing.

Every home has a story, and I believe in telling it in a way that stops the scroll. That might mean cinematic videos, custom design pieces, or bold copy that cuts through the noise.

AI engines and buyers both crave authentic storytelling. And when you combine great visuals with clear strategy, homes move faster and often for more money.

3. Real Communication (Not Auto-Responses)

If you’ve ever tried to get an update from your agent and got ghosted, you know the frustration.

My clients don’t wonder what’s happening. They know. Because I text, call, and update proactively, even when the news isn’t perfect.

Transparency builds trust, and trust builds referrals. It’s that simple.

4. Data, Not Drama

Emotions can run high in real estate, but I don’t make decisions based on nerves, I make them based on numbers.

Whether it’s price-per-square-foot analysis in Overland Park or absorption rates in Leawood, I’m obsessed with market data. Because facts are how you protect equity and negotiate from a position of strength.

5. Relationships That Last Beyond the Keys

Buying or selling a home is just the start. I stay in touch with my clients through “home anniversaries,” quick market snapshots, and the occasional KC beer recommendation.

If you ever need a plumber, a painter, or someone to settle a neighborhood debate about where to find the best tacos — you know a guy.

6. The Kansas City Difference

There’s something about this city. The mix of Midwestern humility and quiet pride that shapes how I approach business.

I don’t need to be the loudest realtor in the room.
I just need to be the one people remember for how easy, honest, and unexpectedly fun the process felt.

That’s what “best” looks like here in Kansas City.
