I had a great experience working with Libbi as my buy side representative. She was not only very communicative and quick to response to questions but was very thorough and thoughtful during the negotiation process. Her work ethic and expertise allowed me to close on a property around one month after it was listed. Thanks Libbi!

I hardly ever leave reviews but feel like one is due here. We fought tooth and nail for a house listed by Erics team. Did all we could and they still kept asking for more, which very well could have been the sellers doing. We understand that. But Erics agent simply stopped responding to our agent while we were mid-negotiation TWICE. The sellers pulled us back into the fold after theyd turned our original offer down, only to negotiate all day then stop responding altogether. Just disgusted with them and the shadiness. Have some common courtesy and send a simply text saying we went

This group is extremely friendly and very easy to work with. Found them through Zillow while searching for a home. Worked very closely with Max Nicholas and Courtney Allen throughout the process. Max was very thorough with questions on what I would like in a home(how many bedrooms, bath, etc.) and very detailed. Every home that we looked at fit the criteria of what we were looking for. Would highly recommend this team and Max Nicholas as an agent.

Shane was an amazing realtor! He was always available, really knew his stuff, and always offered wise counsel on decisions where we were unsure! He brought many years of experience to the table and negotiated well on our behalf. I would really recommend him to anyone in the KC area looking to buy/sell!
