We met with Tom when we were looking to move to Lawrence. We knew we wanted to live within easy…read morewalking distance of downtown and made that very clear to Tom in advance and during our time with him. Despite knowing our criteria, Tom took us to houses that were well out of walking distance from downtown - those houses happened to be his own listings. Toward the end of our driving tour to houses, Tom drove the wrong way down a one way street (something that would not be an in issue in of itself) and when a man pointed it out to him, Tom got really mad, got out of the car, and threatened the other man. Needless to say, we quickly parted ways and began a search for another Realtor.

Kimberly is, in a word, fabulous. I highly recommend her! Not only does she have a great…read morepersonality but she truly cares about selling your house. She scheduled open houses every two weeks. If she was out of town she had an associate do it instead. She explained everything carefully. She told me how to decorate to get the house sold, she even rearranged my refrigerator. My husband was tempted to leave me in Lawrence and take her with him to Minnesota since she was so well organized. I wish that she had at least come with us, I could use her here!!!

We have been in our house 2 years. One evening our landlord came up for a visit.they let us know…read morethat her brother was moving back to town and had bought the family home. this is where we were living out in the country. we have dogs kids and chickens and this is where we like to be.we had to be out pretty quick and were caught unaware, we could not find anything. we have looked and looked and looked. Lawrence is a very difficult town to find a rental in especially if you're a family and you've had some problems in your life and gone thru a divorce and had a spouse thats ruined your credit. it seems no one wants to help you these days. people are all about themselves, nobody quite wants to really help it's really sad that life has become all about business. I ran into this after trying to get several places and not having an adequate credit score.I kept trying, I found a house that I really liked and called, it was a realtor that was managing. Kimberly Williams with McGrew real estate, she said I'll be glad to show it to you but the landlord requires a 600 credit score and yaddy yaddy yaddy.I said well that's not going to work for us and then I said can I tell you a little bit about us? she said yes so I told her my story and to my amazement she really cared she told me to write my story down and to email it to her and she would go to her client and see if she might make an exception and give our family a much-needed break. The next day she got back with me and told me the client did not want to rent with us I guess she's one of those that it's all about the money and not giving someone another chance I've never had an eviction and I've never owed anyone money on rent I just needed a little help. this is not where I wanted to be at 55. I just want to say this is the first review that I'm going to compliment somebody on and thank them for their help and that will be Kimberly Williams because I was somebody that didn't have a pot to piss in and she still went out of her way to try and help me. now the thing is I'm going to be coming into some money in about 6 months quite a lot of money and I'm going to buy a house and I'm not going to call the Chaney's but I'm going to call Kimberly and she's going to sell me a house because my money is green enough for her, so if you're looking for a house, put your money on her thank you Kimberly!!!

Five stars doesn't even begin to do justice to Tanya and her team (I also worked closely with…read moreElisabeth, who is also awesome). They are literally the best: professional, ethical, know the market, know how to sell a house, and most importantly, know how to protect their clients. I wanted to buy my "dream home" that turned out to be a disaster, and after all the hours of work they had put into listing my other home, negotiation / inspection of dream home, etc, they were completely 100% supportive of the cancellation of the contract and STILL put a ton of work in, even after they knew that neither sale (my home or new home) would probably go through. They didn't pressure me AT ALL into accepting less than I needed in terms of repairs and just held my hand throughout. I am 100% a fan now and would never, ever use anyone else.

We found an agent by referrals from other realtors: Ashley Qualls. Ashley quickly became familiar…read morewith our needs and even the dreams behind them. She led us to homes we liked and she used this information to refine the list of homes for us next to visit. She handled all of the paperwork for the inspections and she knows multiple reliable tradesman who were adept at their business as well as being fair minded. She coordinated all aspects of the contract and worked with our loan officer at Truity, Geoff Strole. This is the second time we used Geoff. Between Ashley and Geoff there were never a problem that required our attention. Ashley know the local market, offers her opinion when asked, and listened intensely to our comments to refine how she supported us.

I recently visited this apartment complex after being on the waiting list for nearly six months,…read moreand the experience was extremely disappointing. The front desk manager was rude, cold, and standoffish from the moment we arrived. Instead of giving us a proper tour, she simply handed us the keys and told us to go view the unit ourselves, which felt unprofessional and unwelcoming. When we got to the model townhome, the condition was surprisingly poor. The carpet had visible stains, the furniture was chipped, and the staging looked unfinished--there were pillowcases on the bed but no actual pillows for instance. For a place meant to represent the property, it looked neglected and poorly maintained. What made the experience even more frustrating is that we were on the waiting list since last year, and they still couldn't offer us one of the most common townhome types. We were told that transfers take priority, which felt questionable and like an excuse rather than a real effort to accommodate prospective tenants. Overall, the lack of professionalism, poor condition of the model, and the long wait with no real progress made this a very disappointing experience.

The grounds are clean and well maintained. The units are spacious with high-quality construction…read more I've never been able to hear my neighbor through the wall; and nothing in the unit seems flimsy or cheap. The amenities are really nice too. There are 2 nice pools and a fitness center with lots of updated equipment, including several treadmills, a couple elipticals and bikes, a stairmaster, a range of weight machines for just about anything, and plenty of freeweights. For the average-to-athletic person, you'll find all you need; and the building itself has high ceilings; so it never gets swampy in there.

Emily did an incredible job getting us into a beautiful home that fell within our budget and met…read moreall our needs. She went above and beyond to make sure we were making a wise purchase and took finding us a home in a safe neighborhood seriously. Her knowledge is extensive, and we learned so much about home structure, financing options, and ways to protect the privacy of our new address (my husband is an LEO). She made the home buying process so much easier and much less scary. I wouldn't hesitate to send our friends and family to her. We love our new home and neighborhood thanks to Emily!

Our experience with Chris Schmid of McGrew Real Estate was at times confusing, exasperating, and…read moremaddening. He was the sellers agent on a house we purchased. From the very beginning of our dealings with him (through our agent) to the closing on our new home, he was difficult to deal with. He lacks professionalism and overall competence. His last act of unprofessionalism was while we were at the title company with our agent signing the closing papers, he went to the house we just purchased and changed the code on the front door and the keys were inside the house. When we got to the house we had just purchased we couldn't get in. Our agent had to contact him for the new code. There are many competent, professional agents at McGrew and they have a great reputation in Lawrence. In my opinion Mr. Schmid needs to find a new career.

We had used a different realtor and were so very frustrated. We switched to Steve, putting all of our faith in him, and HE.DID.NOT.DISAPPOINT! He was phenomenal! Not being there, we had no idea that things were not being done, around the house and the property. Not only was he straight forward with us, but found everyone needed to do the upkeep, little repairs and was always looking in our home. Once we relisted with Steve, the house sold in just a few weeks. Highly recommend Steve. Selling a home? Call Steve Today!

She was available, flexible, knowledgable, friendly and always willing to answer all of our questions. We would have been lost without her advice. I appreciated her patience in finding us the perfect fit. She never pushed us into buying or pressured us in any way. If we ever need a realtor in the future, we will definitely seek out Lee Beth again. Not only were we impressed with her as our realtor, we liked and trusted her as a person. If you're in need of a realtor, look no further, Lee Beth is the perfect choice!

Having people who really care and work after-hours and weekends to make sure you have answers (and paperwork) handy isn't something I generally expect from a lender. Pair that with really good rates and service makes choosing Fairway an easy choice for us. We have closed a handful of local Lawrence mortgages with them and will continue to use them as the need arises again the future. I can't say enough nice things about them, if you need a mortgage in Lawrence, make your life easy and start with these gals, if you have ever had to get a mortgage somewhere else before you will understand what I mean and why I recommend them.
