Okay, so I've read all the reviews below on Boveri and I'm thinking, "Is this the same agency I dealt with recently?" I so feel for the folks who didn't have a good experience and I also know how one bad review can stain a cheek. I'll just share my experience and let you be the judge. I'll be moving back to town and I went through a third party to help set up some viewings of properties to fit my needs. Colleen Boveri was my agent and not only was she a really dynamic woman who was well-connected, she also had great rapport with all the owners, door men, and folks in the neighborhoods we scouted. I was very specific in what I wanted, what price range I was willing to spend, where I wanted to look and how much time I had to get things done. Colleen was actually not even feeling well and yet she cleared her personal appointments to ensure I saw the best of the best and when she learned I needed to see properties on a Saturday and she wasn't readily available, she immediately got another agent to step in and we never missed a beat. Now that's what I call professionalism. We finished out the weekend with seeing the remainder of the properties we both agreed would fit and Boom! We got it done! I'm moving in a few days and I'm set! Colleen shared that they really take feedback seriously and I'm the first to say that if I personally have an unpleasant experience, I'm gonna tell the person or business face to face. I believe in being direct and being fair. It's the only way to truly change behaviors that will affect public perceptions so that everyone can have the kind of experience I had. Yelp is great for sharing experiences but nothing is worse than not giving someone or in this case, a business an opportunity to set things right. read more

Excellent experience with Tricia Cartwright! She successfully helped me find a place to rent since I'm moving to the area in a couple of months. She was readily accessible by email and phone/text, sending me 10 or so rental properties in their portfolio for me to consider - I ended up seeing 6 of them spread out over 2 days and she was very flexible, agreeing to meet me several times! She also suggested I visit one property that was not on my initial list that she thought I might like given everything we talked about, and it turned out that was the one I ended up signing a lease on! I also went back to take more pictures and "inspect" the place. As for the group, I was glad to learn that they've worked with many of the apartment and rental companies in the KCMO area and have helped many clients find apartments, but have dropped companies if their clients have had complaints (eg, maintenance, noise, etc) - I felt like I could trust what I was being told and was also put in touch with a couple of former clients to see what they thought of where they were renting. I had the good fortune of visiting the area during a First Friday in the Crossroads art district (open house art galleries, food trucks, etc) and Boveri actually has an area dedicated to promoting the Kansas City neighborhood! It's a bit like a tourist information center, with various pamphlets and brochures of neighborhoods and attractions - I really appreciated seeing their involvement in the community! I'm not sure what my long-term plans in KCMO are, but I'll gladly seek their services if I need to find another place to rent or buy! read more

Moving to a new city prompts a person to use Yelp at least once or twice a day. So many places to eat, drink, shop, etc, etc. However, I never would have thought to use it to look up a realty business. When I moved to KC 2-3 weeks ago, I had very little time to find a place as I was changing jobs and had less than a week to find a place, move, and start work. I drove up to Kansas City on a Sunday following my last day of work (Friday). Looking for an open leasing office in KC on a Sunday is about as effective as looking for sporting goods at Victoria's Secret, FYI. Sunday night, I drove back to my parent's place about 1.5 hours away and started diving into Craigslist. Seemed like everything for lease in the KC metro was somehow connected to Boveri. After applying for a viewing, Boveri contacted me via email with about 15 places that matched my vague criteria. We narrowed that down to about 4 places and setup viewings the next morning. The first place we viewed was great! If it were the only location that the group had to show, I would have happily leased it. But, there were more. Stephanie, the realtor, showed me 3 more places matching my criteria and each were great. Again, she knew I would have been satisfied with any of the locations, but continued giving me more options (cheaper options in fact). I have nothing bad to say about this group. The people I worked with were very quick, efficient, gave me exactly what I wanted without wasting any time, and were fun to work with. read more

Nothing but high marks for Stephanie Thomas of Boveri Realty. Through an inheritance I came to own a home in Shawnee. Great place, but I was living out of the area, and without Stephanie's help, I'd never be able to manage the place. Stephanie assured I had good renters, managed the lease, and took care of any maintenance needs. Stephanie worked hard so I didn't have to. This year, opportunity to sell the house arose, and Stephanie was there to make sure that all the arrangements from pricing, to listing, showing, receiving offers, appraising, and closing the sale were in place. The home sold and made it through escrow in the briefest time. Along with her real estate and property management skills, Stephanie knew me. She was aware of my limited time and availability. She knew my budget, and knew how I wanted to handle the property. She solved problems or had solutions in place before they happened. I can't recommend Stephanie Thomas more highly. Terms like quality, efficiency, and professional are defined by her commitment to her customers. And most of all, it is a skill set she delivers with always an upbeat and positive attitude. Thank you Stephanie! read more

I found out about Boveri through Craigslist and contacted them because I am looking to lease a condo in the Kansas City area. I received an immediate response and then began communicating via phone and email with Colleen. She asked me a lot of very detailed questions in order to set up the schedule for our day of viewing. I was so incredibly impressed with her ability to translate my likes and dislikes. Everything she showed me was something I would live in and I am not easy to please. She showed me things within my price range only which I really appreciated because it is easy to be tempted. Colleen was not only right on point with every property, but I could not have asked for a better home-hunting companion. She really helped me work through my decision making process. I actually found something I really love and it has emptied a load off my shoulders! I am soooo happy I met Colleen and that there is a company as amazing as Boveri. She was so organized and so helpful. I would reccommend Boveri to anyone who is busy and wants a PERFECT lineup of potential homes to check out!! read more

I originally worked with Stephanie Thomas from Boveri Realty in 2011 when I was searching for a loft to rent in downtown Kansas City. I was contacting multiple realtors listing properties at that time and Stephanie was quick to respond, arranged several properties to visit, and was very helpful. I did not end up leasing any of her listings, but she was my first call when looking to buy a downtown loft/condo back in January of this year. We worked with Stephanie as a buyer's agent and we looked at 40+ lofts/condos over an eight week period. She was very flexible in giving blocks of her time to visit properties. Her knowledge of the downtown KC market is impressive and she is very familiar with downtown properties. She gained a feel for what we were seeking and ultimately helped us find our new home. I have recommended Stephanie to a number of friends and colleagues and feel confident she will provide the same level of quality service that we received. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Boveri Realty and Andrea Buettner specifically. I was born and raised in Kansas City but have lived in Los Angeles for the last 20 years. Earlier this year, I decided that I wanted to invest in some rental property in Kansas City. All my relatives live there and could help me manage the property. I gave my specifications to Andrea and she went to work. She put together 10 showings for me and I flew in, with my contractor husband, for the weekend. We went from place to place on the list. She had all the right information..pros and cons..rental rate possibilities...even contractor proposals. I was able to put a bid on a property right off the plaze before we left..and closed on the property a month later. It has been rented since the reno was finished and I could not be happier. I continue to review properties that Andrea sends me. So good to know someone so far away that I can really trust! read more

If you need to rent or buy property in Kansas City, Boveri Realty is an amazing, friendly place to transition to your next living space. Not only do you get quick and friendly responses from agents, like mine, Andrea Buettner, but they make it easy on your schedule and on your wallet. I was very pleased with my experience with Andrea and how helpful she was in finding me not one but two different places to rent from. She adjusted her schedule for viewings that accommodated my schedule and worked on my behalf to get me in a place when I needed one. I sat back and watched my email while Andrea was doing all the work! Moving is a hassle and extremely annoying but with Boveri, they want to assist in finding a place that suits their customers and that's how I felt so, I'm looking forward to working with them again to find my future housing in Kansas City. Thanks Guys!!! read more

My very first impression of Kansas City was working with Boveri Realty and specifically, Andrea Buettner in March of 2011. My husband and I were moving to KC for his job and we had never even visited before so we knew very little about where to live, etc. Andrea was amazing. She showed us lofts, apartments and townhomes until we finally found the perfect place for us. We moved in March of 2011 into our loft in Stuart Hall and we used her again in August when we wanted to start looking for a home. In December 2011, we moved from the apartment into our first home in Smithville, MO. She showed us homes for months and would not let us settle. We're glad she didn't let us settle because of her, we found our dream home. I very, very highly recommend Andrea Buettner with Boveri Realty. She is very good at what she does and she has one of the best, friendliest personalities of anyone I've ever met. read more

I have worked with Stephanie Thomas for 3.5 years, both as manager for my rental property in KC and just last week, closing the sale of that same condo. Did I mention, the majority of this relationship happened remotely, after work relocated me thousands of miles away? I relied on Stephanie to find renters for my place and keep me apprised of any tenant needs or condo issues. And she made sure to notify me of the KC real estate market heating up so I could consider selling. One reason I hesitated to sell? Stephanie's work made my landlord duties stress-free. When I made the decision to sell, the entire process moved quickly; 2 months from listing to closing. Shout out to Stephanie at Boveri Realty Group for taking such good care of me. read more

Coming from out of state and having little experience in downtown Kansas City, my good friend referred me to Boveri Realty after her positive experience. It was the best decision we ever made in our move to Kansas City. The realtor was very professional, knowledgeable, and informative about the properties that best fit our needs. It was very easy to communicate with the realtor about the amenities/locations we were looking for, and it translated very nicely to the properties that he showed us. Overall, we had a great experience. The best part was that the realtor was not "pushy" and was very objective. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a place to live in downtown Kansas City and the surrounding areas. read more

Our experience with Stephanie Thomas on two transactions in two years was exceptional. First, we engaged her to help us locate a one-year lease on a luxury condo. She found us a wonderful "pocket listing" with a developer. Then, one year later, we were ready to buy into the property. We engaged Stephanie to represent us on the transaction with the developer, and she negotiated several valuable concessions that we would not have known to request on our own. We definitely will hire her as our Realtor when we are ready to sell. We found Stephanie to be accessible, efficient and well-prepared every step of the way. She was generous with her time and her opinions, which we found very refreshing. read more

I haven't dealt with such poor people skills in a very long time. I had left a message earlier in the day with the hope of scheduling an appointment to view some apartments. When I was called back, a very rude and moody woman greeted me. I believe it to be Christina Boveri, the founder of this farce of a company. Unable to tolerate such poor behavior and people skills I quickly ended the call. I will not deal with a such a rubbish company. Coming from the LES in Manhattan, the bar needs to be raised out here. If this is what Kansas City has to offer, then it is a very sad day indeed! Shame on you Boveri Realty Group. read more

I worked with Ashley Riley when looking for a short term lease in the downtown Kansas City area. Ashley was so, so helpful and super responsive. I was doing all of this remotely and was a bit apprehensive as to if I would find something legit and of quality. Ashley made it happen! She sent me options and walked me through the process. She also interfaced with the landlord(s) on questions I had right away. Ultimately, Ashley connected me with a furnished place in an awesome historic neighborhood in an apartment with a great view. I will 100% come back to Ashley and Boveri group for any future needs in the area. read more

I found an amazing house to rent and was so excited about it. I immediately contacted Boveri Reality and was directed to work with Stephanie Thomas. Stephanie got back with me right away and let me know about the house and we scheduled an appointment. She was friendly, professional and made it easy to rent the house. I was excited about the property and am confident that we will be taken care of when we move in in case anything needs to be taken care of with the house. She answered all my questions thoroughly and I can tell she enjoys what she does. read more

My boyfriend just recently recieved a job in Kansas City and was given a week to move from Texas. We found Elijah, with Boveri Reality Group and he was a life saver! We absolutely could not have made the big move happen in such little time without him. He was willing to work after hours for us to view apartments, he was personable and genuinely cared about helping us find the right place for us! He even made sure to reach out after we had moved in to make sure we were satisfied with the move. Forever thankful for Elijah! We will use again. read more

My husband and I had the privilege to work with Crystal Bade within the Boveri Reality Group. This was my first time buying a home and Crystal was there for me every step of the way. She was always there to answer any question I had. Crystal gave us her honest opinion about the condition of the houses and the surrounding comps. Crystal was always available to show us a new home as soon as it came on the market. Thank you to Crystal at Boveri Realty Group, if it weren't for you, my husband and I wouldn't have our dream home today! read more

This review is challenging to write, not because of a bad experience, but because the agent I used is my Ex-Wife. Even though things between us didn't work, I wouldn't have considered any other agent. She showed me several places and drove me all around. I didn't realize how awesome she was until actually working with her as her client, she found me exactly what I was looking for in a new home. I will continue to use Stephanie as my agent in the future whether I relocate to a new apartment or decide to buy a place. read more

Stephanie helped us lock down our last rental condo at Wallstreet Towers. Never had an issue reaching her..infact, I was able to get ahold of her even during evening hours hours when I )incorrectly) thought my wedding ring might have been taken by maintenance. She helped get any/all needed repairs done promptly, and followed up on any questions or needs we had quickly. We only have good things to say about our experience with her, and highly recommend her services to anyone searching for property in KC. read more
