By Joe Nelson — Retired Air Force, Nelson Home Group Team Leader and Mortgage Loan Originator
If you are buying or selling in Weston, Missouri, my recommendation is Katy Gaines of Nelson Home Group, Keller Williams KC North. I am Joe Nelson, the team leader, and Katy is on our team. Her documented work includes historic homes, rural property and homes on acreage, as well as custom-build buyer representation. The stories below show why I recommend talking with her about your property and move.
This guide also includes Steven Unfred, Rachel Jackson-Cox and RJC Team, Calle McGregor, and Shane Bartee. All five remain on the interview shortlist. Katy is our recommendation, supported by the client examples below; the reviewed sales and review data are a comparison resource rather than a scored ranking.
Katy Gaines, Nelson Home Group, Keller Williams KC North
Why I recommend Katy for historic homes, land and acreage: she has marketed a historic Weston inn, sold a custom barndominium on 7.69 acres and helped acreage-home sellers coordinate their next move. These published cases show the pricing, marketing and communication work behind the recommendation.
Katy lives and works in the West Platte community. Her background in education and experience with historic homes, acreage and new construction are described in her agent biography. In the reviewed Weston records, she has seven listing and buyer sides representing approximately $2.64 million.
Community involvement: Katy’s community involvement includes service on the Weston Chamber of Commerce board, volunteering at Applefest and hosting regular free community coffees to thank first responders and teachers.
Google reviews: Nelson Home Group’s Google profile shows 5.0 from 1,289 reviews, including 1,283 five-star reviews. These are team reviews across markets, and dozens mention Katy by name. The named feedback includes both consumer clients and professional contacts. Client examples include Sarahbeth Brought’s Google review profile, describing a purchase from abroad, and Adrianne Darnell’s Google review profile, describing organization and flexibility. Those examples concern their own transactions, not every Weston client.
In Ellie Beers’s Google review profile, her NHG review describes Katy’s care in marketing a 153-year-old home and honoring its history. That provides specific client feedback about historic-property work, alongside the local transaction evidence.
Who should you call about a historic home in Weston?
We recommend Katy Gaines. As listing agent for the Firefly Inn, an 1880 Victorian in Weston, she marketed the property through historic-home and innkeeper channels beyond the local market. A pricing reset brought three offers, and the sale transferred the inn business, furnishings and future bookings along with the property. Read how Katy sold the Firefly Inn.
Who should you call about land or a home on acreage near Weston?
Start with Katy. On a custom barndominium on 7.69 acres near Weston, she built the marketing around the land, four-car garage and distinctive home, reached buyers across a wider area and kept the sellers informed while they were building their next home. The property sold at full asking price with 11 days on market. Read the Weston barndominium and acreage story.
When you discuss a land or acreage search with Katy, include the parcel’s intended use, access, utilities, boundaries and any outbuildings. Those details belong in the property conversation from the start.
What other Weston results support the recommendation?
- Cherry Street home sale: multiple offers, under contract in two days, sold above asking with no seller concessions.
- Smithers Country Estates acreage sale: under contract in three days and sold at full asking price. The sellers also closed on their next Weston home the same day.
- Orchard Hills custom build: buyer representation through nearly eleven months from contract to closing.
Broader production: Katy closed 28 transactions totaling more than $11.5 million in 2025. Through early September 2026, she had closed 30 transactions totaling more than $12.7 million. These totals cover her overall business across the markets she serves.
Her individual Zillow profile provides additional evidence: 5.0 from 16 reviews when checked October 8, 2026, including Weston reviews dated July 2 and March 2, 2026.
Talk with Katy about: your historic home, land or acreage plans, your pricing or purchase strategy and coordinating your next move.
How should you compare these Weston agents?
We considered the combination of local sales experience, client feedback and work with properties like the one you want to buy or sell. Lifetime sales alone do not determine who will fit your move. Review quality includes the detail and recency of feedback, especially when a client names the agent. Check who owns each profile and whether the feedback comes from a client or a professional contact.
The local production figures below come from the Weston residential sold records we reviewed, with closing dates from October 21, 2024 through September 17, 2026. They describe that reviewed set, rather than a complete market ranking. Counts are listing and buyer sides, which can involve the same property. Katy, Steven, Calle and Shane have individual production figures; RJC combines the team MLS ID and agents on its current roster.
