UPDATE: Kristi and Kyle at Rodrock have since reached out to improve these issues, some now and…read moresome will happen at our 11-month checkpoint. They understood our frustrations and were accommodating to take appropriate actions where they could. Some things, like large trim gaps and cracks in the driveway, are not fixable, and that is understandable. We appreciate the following up with us to ensure our experience was more enjoyable. Overall, we love our home. The architecture and floorplan of our El Dorado style home is perfect for our needs and lifestyle. The design session where you get to make your selections was fun and made as easy as possible - my favorite part of the whole process; additionally, Molly is super helpful in ensuring your selections make sense for your home. For future Rodrock new build homeowners, I would only suggest documenting everything, NOT being in a different town/city/state during the build process, asking lots of questions if you have them, noting concerns to your project manager and/or the Rodrock team, and reaching out to Rodrock specifically if you do have issues with your project manager. They'll do whatever possible to correct the situation. Will update after the 11-month check if needed. My husband and I have lived in our new build for 3+ months now. We moved from out of state (although we are originally from the KC area and familiar with the Rodrock name). We understood living out of state while our new build was going to be finished was going to have its challenges. We were not able to be present at the final walk through because of logistics, but we were assured we would have people there looking out for us and our home. Well, we have gotten to the point of our 90-day warranty check point, and we've noted numerous issues - most of which were denied because the warranty does not apply to "fragile items", "paint touchups", "stain touchups", "driveways", "concrete", "light fixtures", "trim", and etc. We have scratches on multiple windows, several of which have multiple deep scratches (which the window company physically told us that Rodrock should replace), a chipped toilet seat, paint runs, damage to cabinetry, numerous cracks in our driveway, dirty/stained exterior stone, unsealed plumbing in the powder room sink cabinet, trim that was miscut just to name a few issues - all of which were denied. We had a review of the final walk-through list (again, we were not present so we could not add to it) with our project manager, Karen. When pointing out some additional items we were finding that were missed, she said "we can walk through this house a thousand times and you will always be able to find something". If that's the case...fix it. We did not pay this much money for a NEW build only to have to fix the sloppiness and lack of attention to details from your team. And because of that, we are not able to have the warranty cover these items now. This is unacceptable. Additionally, our PM was often sighing when asked to resolve an issue, downplaying the concerns, and/or straight out complaining about doing her job in front of my husband and me, and even our realtor. While there were some positive moments of the Rodrock new build experience, those moments are overshadowed by the amount of work we will now have to do to fix their sloppy craftsmanship.

Thanks to Jim we've purchased two houses and have sold one of them…read more First off... Jim knows everyone. In our search for both homes (2011 and 2016) he knew the moment that a house was posted for sale or about to hit market just from word of mouth. In today's world, that gave us a huge buying advantage. Plus, after searching through what seemed like thousands of photos online, the moment that my wife and I saw a property that we wanted to see in-person, we'd toss Jim a quick text message and 99.9% of the time we had a message back saying... "booked it". Once we would arrive at a property, Jim would immediately walk off to inspect the most common issues such as foundation, roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, etc. So while my wife and I would be in awe of the beautiful kitchen cabinets or updated appliances, Jim was focused on the attributes that mattered. And this came in handy multiple times during the negotiation process... such as the rotted tree that we had cut down. And I'll tell you, the same attention to detail also came when selling our home. Jim knows what buyers are looking for. He'll give you his honest opinion when it comes to refreshing your paint colors, cleaning up house clutter, cleaning windows, etc. He did everything that he could to help us earn top dollar for our home in Prairie Village, KS. If you can't tell by my review, I highly recommend Jim Kraus. He'll walk through walls for you as you look for your dream property. Drop him an email or phone call, you won't regret it.

We hired this realtor as our Selling Agent. His people skills are subpar. He spends no time with…read moreyou as a client. He told us to list our house for 136,000 in the current market. I told him that is what I paid for the house five years ago. We will list the home for $157300. What do you know, I was write, upon being listed on the MLS, we had a buyer make an offer for $157300 three hours later. No thanks to Taner, he did nothing. I spent 2.5 hours with the buyer. But through the whole month process. Taner was invisible. I cannot believe I even had to pay him. Taner will never call you by phone. He will either text you or facebook messenger you. You will never speak to him again after signing the contract. SO don't sign the contract with him. When the offer came in, with a deadline of 5 pm on it, there were things I did not agree to on it. We frantically tried to get ahold of our realtor to ask questions. WE texted, facebook messaged, called and left voice mails, emailed him, every way possible, but he just ignored us for the entire day. He should know as a Realtor, that when an offer comes in that the seller is going to have questions and should make himself available. Then after all the inspections were performed, there was only one repair request, that buyer had made. I wanted to see the inspection results of the septic system before agreeing to it. However, Taner my Realtor, acted like he did not have it and witheld it from me. He was disrespectful to my wife and I. He insulted our home, saying I cannot believe you got a full price offer. Let's hope it appraises for that. Every step of the way, step by step, things just got worse and worse. If he has ten years experience, it certainly does not show. Then he blocked my wife and I from being able to leave him a review, on his facebook page. If you look at his facebook page, he even left a review for himself. Some of his five star reviews were left by his family members, college friends, loan officers, his girlfriend and his own brother. I am assuming not one of those reviews is from an actual customer. His reviews are what got us to hire him. So I am warning you folks of Kansas City now, beware. You have been warned. Then since some of my friends left reviews on his facebook page, I was able to comment on those. Which I did. I am trying to protect others from what my wife and I experienced. It was the worst 30 days of our lives and probably aged us both by five years. My wife cried several times over his actions. We both lost tons of sleep. He even contacted the local authorities and made a false police report that I was harrassing him and his family, messaging them on facebook, which is 100% not true. People please, use your due diligence and check your realtor our fully before hiring, ask for references and contact those references. After two weeks of working with him, we fired him and had he VP, of Platinum Realty, Dennis Perkins handle the rest of our deal. Although he did not appreciated being pulled into the middle of it he did it. Without Dennis Perkins, my deal would have never closed and we would of lost our buyer.

We were both fearful of the process so we never did anything about it. My husband and I knew our home had many repair needs and we thought it would take a miracle to get it sold. How did we handle all of this fear? We did absolutely nothing accept daydream about our perfect home. One day, we had the pleasure of crossing paths with Kiley Willis a realtor with the Lyon Group. Immediately, we connected with Kiley. She visited our home and gave us honest feedback about our home. The feedback was great but Kiley gave us even more, hope. We had lost hope of ever leaving our aging home but Kiley gave us the hope we needed to move forward.

Of course we were honored to have Kiley help us with our big next step, buying our dream home. Kiley was there as we looked at homes and helped us hone in on what we really wanted.
