"Laurie is amazing.

She was there to answer all my questions and concerns at any time of the day. She's super fun and easy to work with, very knowledgeable, organized and was always available when I needed her. She knew exactly what I was looking for and was able to find homes to show me that fit what I wanted. Laurie kept me informed on everything that was happening, and was a huge positive, supportive, calming influence for me when I thought buying my dream home wasn't going to happen. Laurie made me feel like family and helped make buying my home the most wonderful experience." (5-Star Facebook Review)

"Laurie listens to your concerns, wants, and needs.

She worked very hard finding houses to meet our list, and always willing to tackle any question or concern that arose. Very hands on and was present at both closings - when we sold and when we bought our new home. She represented us both sides. Highly recommend her to anyone house hunting or selling! Thank you Laurie Blanco!" (5-Star Zillow Review)

GUYYSSS!

Lemme tell you about my realtor. This girl has jumped through EVERY SINGLE hoop for me to get us this far! After a couple of not so great houses, a couple of GREAT houses, and almost giving up completely, we FINALLY found the perfect one! If you need a realtor, I KNOW you need Sarah. ❤ Thank you for the long commutes, being so personable, and all the last minute showings to guarantee we got the one I wanted. This COULD NOT have been a better experience with ANYONE else. ❤

Patty Simpson is the best in the business!

She’s always willing to go the extra mile. She’s professional and personable, we’d give her more than 5 stars if we could!

Michelle Arnold

"After a long and what felt like an overwhelming search for a home, with little hope left and no where to turn, out of the blue came Laurie to show us a home and although that home wasn't the home for us, Laurie definitely was!

She was our agent at first sight! May sound cheesy, but Laurie is not only extremely professional but very down to earth, straight to the point, and goes over and beyond for you. Even with ups and downs, Laurie doesn't get overwhelmed and leave you with no where to turn. She fights harder to get you what you want and seal the deal with the property you're wanting so badly and sometimes even finds things more than you initially imagined. I could go on and on for days but before I talk your ear off, let's just say I highly recommend this lady. She goes over and beyond and I couldn't imagine having bought my home without her. She not only cares about "the home" but she cares about "you" too! If I had to pick one favorite thing about this home buying process, with no doubt would be having her as my agent!!!!!! Thanks Laurie!" (2019 Facebook Review)

Emily Mitchell

Melissa never quit and was always honest and attentive to my needs.

I was looking for my forever home. I had been looking with her for about 8 months. When I wanted to quit she gave me time and space but kept the search going. And then, just like that the forever home appeared!!!! I love everything and the entire process was super easy. Melissa, thank you.

Heather J Cutair

She worked so hard for us!

I would not have been so patient.

Joe S.

If you are looking for a realtor who answers your questions and requests promptly and cordially, Joe Fester is the realtor you want on your side.

Joe helped us find our land with computer generated lists of properties that were in our acreage and price range because he listened. He was available when we had requests for plats and covenants on properties. Joe helped us find what we wanted and followed us through our closing. He then checked back with us afterwards to make sure everything was okay. If you are looking for a reliable, honest, helpful professional, Joe is your go to person.

Dyann S

Patty Simpson was just amazing to work with, and not only helped us to find our dream home, but saved us from making what would have been two really bad decisions!

Patty personally handled our home buying process from start to close - calling, texting, emailing and meeting with us constantly throughout the entire process. I just can’t say enough great things about her, both personally and professionally, and would HIGHLY recommend her to any friends/family looking to buy a new home. In a world where we have so much negativity right now, Patty Simpson is truly an example of a stellar commitment to excellence, and we are forever grateful that we found her! You just couldn’t find a better person to work with, especially when there are so many realtor options out there. Kudos and so many thanks to Patty Simpson - you literally made our dream home a reality.

Denise Smith

Patty you made the entire deal possible.

You stayed on top of every part of all three aspects it took to make this deal even happen. You stayed involved with my purchase of this house and the sell of the house I was selling. You made yourself available every time I needed you and always found a remedy to any problem. This was not the first house in my lifetime I have bought or sold but you definitely made it the best experience buying and selling a house that I’ve had including my first house or the house we had built. Patty Simpson you are an amazing realtor.

"Laurie did a great job getting my house sold and closed at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.

She patiently waited on contractors for bids, kept in frequent contact with me, the buyers realtor, the contractors, and title company. Little did we know when we accepted a fantastic offer after only 10 days on the market that we would be on an interesting journey. We got to the destination! Thanks Laurie!" (5-Star Zillow Review)

Always on time and is very responsive during negotiation. Made the deal very easy for us and we are completely satisfied how everything went on our purchase.

Patty Simpson was our real estate agent when we sold our home.

She is very knowledgeable about her job skills and went above and beyond what was needed to help sell our home. She obviously loves real estate and works long hours and weekends. We would highly recommend her if you are needing a knowledgeable agent who knows the market well.

Patty did a great job for us.

She worked hard to help us sell our 12-acre property - in the prep advice she gave for getting our home ready, in her responsiveness to every request we had, and in the negotiation phase. She is a professional who cares about her clients.

C. Brown

Nick Hosack has worked tirelessly and patiently with me as I have been looking for a house in the eastern Kansas region over the last year.

Having met Nick during my Kansas house search, I invited him to be the agent when I sold my house in Riverside, MO in 2015. He did not hesitate to come to Riverside when needed. He was most professional, courteous, and friendly. With his assistance, I got the asking price for my house and the sale was completed without trouble. The house buying process can be a long, frustrating search, and Nick is the perfect agent to patiently guide a buyer through that ordeal.

Jim Taulman

"We were blessed to have Laurie assist with finding our forever home.

She is pleasant and professional, fun and thorough, keeping in contact and answering all of our questions promptly. Thanks again!" (5-Star Zillow Review)

Jay Morrison

"Laurie went above and beyond helping my father find his house when moving back to Kansas.

She was available when he needed her to be and was able to find more houses to see on the fly when the ones we looked at didn't quite feel like a home to him. The lender was causing issues with their failure to communicate with us and Laurie was able to help him locate a better quality lender all while still making sure everything was on track with the inspection, appraisal and that my dad was getting the best deal possible per the contract. If you want someone who genuinely wants to help you find YOUR home, Laurie is the one you need." (5-Star Facebook Review)

Amy Morris

Melissa worked so hard to help us find our home.

It is going to be our final home, so we were a little picky! We were looking during the freezing cold winter and this did not stop her from finding us house after house to go look at. We saw the house we now have online. It went online that day and she got us in to see it that evening. We are so grateful because it already had 2 offers on it. She helped us get it! We are so happy here! But that is not all! She helped us sell our home in Garden City. It went on the market and we had 2 offers that night and another offer the next day and she helped us get top dollar! We couldn’t be happier! If you need a realtor, Melissa is your woman!

Deneen Marie Hays Adams

"Laurie is an absolute joy to work with!

She helped us get our house on the market and sold QUICK! She is an excellent communicator and kept us up-to-date during the entire process. She even took time to find us an out-of-state realtor to help us find a new home a couple of states away! She went above and beyond every step of the way! Thank you for everything, Laurie!!!" (5-Star Facebook Review)

"Laurie is a dedicated professional.

She is a “resource machine” when dealing a wide range of clients and agent interfaces. Laurie will research and coordinate inspections, financial references and contractors, if needed." (5-Star Google Review)

Bayleigh Nelson

Patty helped us find our new home and we could not be happier with her services, her patience and advice, the process, the price negotiated - with our overall experience.

At one point we were weighing the +/- of two different properties. She very objectively helped us sort through our priorities, focusing us on the core values we'd expressed to her, the needs and dreams we had for our next home. It became an easier decision, gave us clarity and commitment in moving forward. We appreciate Patty's expertise and exceptional help. Highly recommend her.

Constance Markovich

Sarah was very knowledgeable about the property she showed us, and was extremely personable and professional.

"Dara is absolutely wonderful! She is great to work with, very personable and extremely reliable. She never gave up even when we were ready to... Dara not only sold our home which took some time in a crazy market, but turned around and found us a home we really love! She really listened to what we were looking for, as we were very specific and not willing to settle & she negotiated with the other agent so that we could get the home we really wanted! We so enjoyed working with Dara and if we ever in the future need to sell or buy, we will go with Dara again!! Without a doubt!"

"Dara made the process easy and was so informative. Her experience and know how made a huge difference. She showed us things that we should be aware of that we would have never thought about. She looked out for us not just as our realtor but treated us like family."

"House smelled and she acted like she could not smell it. Basement wet, claimed it was the homeowner left the hose on. After inspections it was verified there was major foundation issues. Not up front or honest in anyway."

"Dara is extremely professional. While I was looking to buy a home, she was patient with me when I needed it, but she negotiated strongly on my behalf when it was called for. She keeps up with the market and worked to find the right property for me. She did a great job as my listing agent as well. She offered ideas that would make my home more appealing to buyers. She found the comparison sales in the area and priced my home at a fair price. I will be working with her again soon."

"Let me tell you about Dara. I have bought and sold many homes in my lifetime she is by far the best realtor I have ever used. She is committed 100% on your side to get top dollar Bingos far and beyond her scope of work. Thanks again darling for all your hard work. Thanks, Terry Poling"

"Dara is a "one of a kind" realtor. You don't find people like her very often. She is extremely knowledgeable regarding the market and negotiation and she led us thru the process with ease. She was accessible to us at all times, responding to emails, texts and calls in a very timely manner. We had been looking at new homes with her for a few months and she knew our current home would go on the market soon, but she sold our house BEFORE we even put it on the market!! Now that's a GOOD realtor! Dara is an extremely hard worker and I know she has many many clients, however, when she was with us, we felt like her only ones. We will definitely be using Dara again in the future!"
