Me and my fiancé were searching for our first home and we had been working with a realtor and wrote…read moreover 20 offers on houses and never were able to get anything accepted. When I reached out to Zach he was so great at explaining the market and what it takes for buyers to get under contract. He was so responsive and every week sent us new homes that we went to look at. He was able to help us get our offer accepted on only our third offer from working with him. He was so professional, he was always ensuring we understood everything about the process and made sure everything was taken care of every step of the way!

A little delayed review but I couldn't leave this experience "unrecognized". We recently utilized…read morethis group to sell our home and they made it as smooth and seamless as they possibly could. Our realtor was none other than the man, the myth, the legend himself, Bryan Huff. Needless to say he and his team did not disappoint! All interactions with any of the staff were exceptionally pleasant as they were very communicative, attentive, accommodating, knowledgeable and kind! They were just on top of their game every time we needed something. I'm not sure about any of the other realtors under him but based off our experience, Bryan went above and beyond for us and he didn't have to. I won't say what he did exactly because I don't want to put that expectation out there. So, during negotiations we came to a standstill with the buyer. Bryan came up with a new proposal which "somehow" didn't cost us anything extra and because of this we eventually came to an agreement and closed. If there was one complaint it would be the photographer. We basically had everything staged accordingly but obviously we were still living there and utilizing our home daily. We had made everything that was used daily compact and mobile so we could leave at a moments notice for a showing. So photo day came and I let the photographer know if something looks unsightly let me know and I can move it temporarily for the photos. When it came time for us to review the photos, they were great. The issue was that there was a bunch of "unsightly objects" my wife and did not want shown ie: basket of dirty laundry, cords for our bedroom TVs and a couple items in our backyard. This wasn't a huge deal because when we let him know he was able to edit everything out within an hour or two for us to approve and finalize. Overall I recommend them!

Amazing! They helped sell our old home and find the perfect new one. The entire team is…read moreprofessional, kind, responsive, and available. They were doing things behind the scenes that we weren't even aware of to move our sale along. I always recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell.

I wanted to add to my review. At the end of our first year in our new home, Ben sent us a copy of…read moreour paperwork that detailed the prepaid taxes that we paid at closing.

Thank you Ben for an amazing process and wonderful service through the whole experience.

Lies, misinformation, and all around left us in two situations that could have been avoided. My recommendation; find another realtor! Update: Ben and I spoke (email and phone) and he tried to reason with my complaints. Im not gonna lay out the facts here, but In the end when we laid out the facts of the situation we were put in he stopped responding. I feel it is bad business to leave a client to have to get another realtor (with the same company) to fix his mistakes. Realtors come a dime a dozen. Find one that will have your back to the end.

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.

Received a call from David K. during my rental search. He informed me that I forgot to reply to his…read moreemail asking availability for a tour. I apologized for this and explained my lack of response was due to travelling for work. He proceeded to say that because I did not respond to his email, that it was my fault that he lost a commission. It was extremely unprofessional and immature to be blamed for his loss in commission when I was only inquiring about a rental property through Zillow. I had never spoken with him before this and did not hire an agent for my search. I was very disappointed that he blamed me for his pit falls and hope that this doesn't reflect the rest of the group. David is not someone I would ever work with or recommend in the future.

It wouldn't be so bad, except I had to pay for this "service." I haven't really hard positive things about Boveri Realty Group but opted to use them anyway because of their downtown monopoly. Sadly, the negative comments I've heard were spot on. I'm not sure what's up with the shill positive reviews. Boveri Realty Group basically has a monopoly with downtown rentals. Even so, there are other places that deal with this area. I'd recommend going elsewhere. I would never use Boveri again. Instead of just owing up to their errors like a reputable place with actual customer service, they refused to take responsibility for the missing key (lost while they were showing the apt) and their lack of communication. I ended up having a RE agent from another company come in and they basically asked me which agency I was using because there were a lot of issues (dust that happens over time, paperwork lying around) that a reputable agency should have mentioned to me. Despite promising to give me an update roughly every week, I received nothing. I'd email every few weeks to see what's happening. There was a complete breakdown of communication on their part. In the end, they ended up sending me threatening emails and refused to take any responsibility at all for the missing key, lack of promised communication or just about anything else. I had to change the locks on my own dime and they refused to take any responsibility or discount the fee. Did I mention that I have the wonderful threatening emails to prove it? As a property owner, I'd suggest you use one of the other KC realty agencies and stay away from Boveri Realty Group unless you want to pay for lack of attention to detail, lack of communication and lack of service.

Before getting serious in our home search my fiancé and I would visit open houses and talk to the…read moreselling agents. Many of them wanted to take us on as clients. Truth is, we didn't really like any of them. They all felt fake with a rehearsed speech that didn't sound like they actually care about us, only selling a home. Jared was the opposite of that. He was caring, sincere, and genuinely wanted to get us the home of our dreams for the best price. He was responsive to inquiries and did all the detailed behind the scenes work. I do not want to imagine how stressful the home buying process would have been without Jared. He put us in our dream home, and if we ever decide to move, he will be our guy.

He was very knowledgeable about the current market. Jared kept in touch with us as we decided what realtor to choose, and asked us questions truly getting to know us. His strategy works so well, that we saw only 10 houses. The house that we bought had 8 other offers and yet ours was chosen! He helped us formulate solid offers. Jared gave great advice while house shopping, pointing out things we wouldn't have noticed or pointing out negatives ./ worrisome things such as foundation issues, etc. He helped us negotiate with the sellers realtor, even when we offered as is. He is great at communicating with other realtors. As first time home buyers this was really great because it was things we wouldn't have known to look at. Jared was great to work with buying a house during COVID, and he has checked up on us so many times after closing. He has helped us with minor house repairs we've needed and given us guidance, and he truly cares about his clients!! --

Brian really took his time explaining how the process worked and helped us understand what to expect from his end. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable with our loan options and that we got the right loan for us. With his help we were able to purchase a wonderful new home where we plan to raise our two young children. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a new home.

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.
