Just bought our 2nd house through them and they will now be selling our first one. Leah goes above and beyond in guiding us through the search, the process of making the deal, and making sure all of the paperwork is complete and filed correctly.

Loved spending my first time home buying experience with Liesel at Kirk and Cobb! She explained everything to me along the way! Would recommend working with this company on either buying or selling a house!

Helen Crow is a true professional. With over 40 years in her industry, Helen is extremely knowledgeable about the housing market and Topeka in general. We have moved 3 times and Helen has been there each and every time to make these transitions as easy & worry-free as you could ever imagine. It comes as no surprise to learn she has received countless awards in her industry. I was so impressed to learn that she gives her clients a guided tour of the city, to educate them about the city and share her Love of Topeka. She is also very giving of her time serving as board member for several organizations
