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.

Since I was selling a rental property out of state, having someone I could trust was especially important.

Joey kept me informed every step of the way, communicated clearly, and got us under contract quickly. He was a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and hands-on real estate agent.

A few years ago Joey sold my father's house after he passed. Joey did a stellar job. After that loss, my husband and I had nostalgia for family and the midwest.

In the end we decided to stay in Virginia, near grandchildren. But, we have never forgotten Joey and are sorry he doesn't live closer. He is an excellent realtor and we consider him a treasured friend.

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 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. Kiley helped us devise a game plan on what we should repair, fix or update prior to putting it on the market. Kiley connected us with an honest, friendly quality handyman, Ben Sievers who helped us tackle projects. Kiley reassured us along every hurdle and step of the way. When we were anxious about costs or details Kiley helped us problem solve solutions. She never said "I don't know" and never gave up on us. Finally, our home sold on the same day we listed it with FOUR offers! Everything she had us do to prepare for listing our home paid off. 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. Kiley helped us connect to the Joey Jones Mortgage Team who were amazing themselves and made qualifying for a loan painless and straight forward. Kiley helped us make the right offer on the home we wanted to live in. She had our back when we requested repairs and was able to get everything we wanted done. Overall, Kiley is an amazing realtor and an amazing supporter! My husband and I are thankful we met Kiley and we are grateful to have her in our lives. If you are ever looking for a realtor, Kiley is the superstar of all realtors. When faced with one of the most personal event in your life, it is necessary to have someone who has your best interests as their priority. Kiley Willis is that person!

I have sold two homes and purchased two homes using Shelley and Doug at the Lyman Station Group…read more They are the consummate professionals - taking care of every detail, walking you through each step of the process. Their knowledge of real estate runs deep. On our first sale I had a lengthy list of items I thought needed to be changed about our house before we could list the home. Shelley came in for an evaluation and helped me sort out the must-do items that buyers would be interested in. In a hot market our house sold within 24 hours of listing for full asking price - which was higher than I ever thought we could get. When we sold our second house I knew we needed to use Shelley. The housing market had cooled some, but with proper marketing and dogged determination Shelley quickly moved the property. Both buying processes went just as well. Shelley listened to our needs and, now twice, has found us the perfect home. She is an aggressive negotiator and worked hard on our behalf to make sure we paid the right price for our new home. She was there all the way through both closings and basically held our hands until she placed the new home keys in them. I don't plan to move again for awhile, but if I do Shelley and Doug will be the first - the only - people I would call to get the job done.
