This is one of those pricing strategies that sounds logical on paper: “Let’s start high. We can always negotiate down.”

The problem? You may lose potential buyers before there’s ever a chance to negotiate.

Buyers are comparing your home to everything else available in that price range. If the value doesn’t feel right, they often skip your home altogether. Fewer interested buyers usually means less negotiating power, not more.

The goal isn’t to leave room to negotiate. It’s to price strategically enough to get the right buyers through the door.

KC’s food scene has always been good, but I love seeing the rest of the country catch on.

From barbecue to cozy favorites and creative new concepts, local restaurants are landing on some pretty impressive national lists, and this is only a handful of them.

Basically, if you needed another excuse to eat your way around Kansas City, here it is.

Which one have you tried, and which one needs to go on your list?

This is such a local real estate nerd fact, and I love it.

The Kansas City Shirtwaist became popular here in the early 1900s, and once you know what to look for, you’ll start spotting them everywhere.

What makes them distinctive? The “shirtwaist” look comes from the contrast between the home’s heavy brick or locally quarried limestone lower level and lighter siding or stucco above. Add a big front porch, 2½ stories, steep rooflines and lots of Craftsman-era character, and you’ve got a KC classic.

They’re especially common throughout some of our older Midtown neighborhoods.

What’s your favorite historic home style around KC?

I’m VERY into this shift. After years of knocking down every wall possible, defined spaces are making their way back into homes.

But we’re not exactly going back to closed-off floor plans either. Semi-open concept gives you the best of both: rooms that feel connected, with just enough separation for a little privacy, less noise, and, let’s be real, somewhere to hide the kitchen mess.

Think glass doors, wide cased openings, partial walls, and other architectural details that create zones without cutting off light or flow.

Are you team open concept or ready for rooms to make a comeback?

One of my favorite parts of real estate? Playing matchmaker!

Maybe you want to walk to your favorite coffee shop. Maybe it’s a neighborhood full of amenities, an easy commute, a little land, great local restaurants, or just a place that feels like you.

There are so many pockets of Kansas City, and finding the one where you can really thrive is half the fun.
Tell me what you’re looking for, and I’ll tell you where I’d start the search.

Chiefs football is BACK, which means it’s time to settle an important debate. ❤️💛

Are you happiest in the middle of the Arrowhead chaos? At a bar where every TV is on the game? Surrounded by friends and way too much food? Or are you firmly in the “please don’t talk to me while the Chiefs are playing” camp on your own couch?

I know my answer. What’s yours?

Kansas City may be famous for BBQ, but if you haven’t explored our taco scene, you’re missing out.

We’ve got two pretty iconic ways to eat your way around KC: follow the BBQ trail for burnt ends, ribs, and all the classics, or head to KCK and start working your way through the Taco Trail.

Personally, I don’t think you should have to choose.

But if you could only pick one KC food trail for the weekend, are you going BBQ or tacos?

Fall decorating doesn’t have to mean pumpkins on every surface. 🍂

I’m much more into the little swaps that make a home feel like fall: warmer lighting, richer textures, natural wood and woven pieces, a few seasonal stems, and cozy throws you actually want to use.

The best part? Most of these can transition right into winter without redecorating your entire house.
What’s the first thing you change at home when fall starts creeping in?

A few small home maintenance tasks now can help get your home ready for the season ahead, from checking the roof and weatherproofing to giving the lawn a little attention before fall really settles in.

Save this one for your September to-do list! 🍂

This is one of my favorite pieces of Kansas City history. 🎡

Long before Disneyland opened, Electric Park was drawing crowds in KC with thousands of electric lights, rides, live entertainment, beautifully landscaped grounds, and even nightly fireworks.

Walt Disney experienced Electric Park during his years here, and many believe this local landmark helped shape the vision he later brought to Disneyland.

And KC hasn’t forgotten it. J. Rieger & Co. now pays tribute to Electric Park with an outdoor bar and gathering space inspired by the amusement park that once stood nearby.
