Report
Employs some of the most dishonest and poor quality realtors we've ever dealt with in Wichita, KS. They hide behind the letter of the law instead of the intent and don't follow through on their word.
Horrible experience, especially in the fast paced nature of today's market.

I realize that Berkshire is a large organization so I'm listing the specific parties involved in my review below. Regardless, if the behavior of these individuals reflects behavior allowed at the organization in general I would suggest extreme caution to anyone intending on doing

Christy Needles is a pathetic excuse for a real estate agent. My fianc and I went under contract for a house that Christy was the listing agent for. We went and paid our Ernest money around noon and within a couple hours after everything was signed and under contract Christy informs our realtor that the seller is going with a different buyer and that we no longer got the house. This realtor put 2 buyers under contract for the same house!
Beware of using her or dealing with her. She obviously doesnt know how to do her job.

I sold my home back in June with the help of Kylee Mellinger as my realtor. She was extremely professional, knowledgeable and overall made the whole thing a simple and smooth process. I would highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for a realtor!

Laurie Ray is very knowledgeable and very efficient. And she is super easy to work with. She clearly knows a lot about the real estate market and I relied on her expertise and her advice. It's been a joy working with Laurie Ray. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to buy or sell a house. I felt like Laurie had my best interest in mind. She was very knowledgeable and great to deal with. Very easy to get ahold of too. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great Realtor!

When this process started for myself and my wife, we didn't know how to handle or deal with what we were going through with our mortgage company. We met Janelle by chance and she literally rescued us. I could only imagine where we would have ended up without her. Fortunately we didn't have to find out. She has become family
