Kansas City’s Highest-Rated Real Estate Team on Google
When someone is deciding who to trust with the biggest financial decision of their life, they deserve proof, not promises. Nelson Home Group, Keller Williams KC North is the highest-rated real estate team in Kansas City on Google, with more than 1,200 five-star reviews. Additionally, in the RealTrends Verified 2026 rankings, we were named the number one team in Kansas City for homes sold, with 153 transaction sides independently confirmed. The reviews on this page are not curated marketing copy. They are the public record.
Rankings can measure different things, and ours measures families served. RealTrends ranked us first by transaction sides — the count of buyers and sellers we actually got to the closing table — rather than by chasing the biggest price tags. Many of those closings were first-time buyers and military families using the VA loan. That is the business we built, and it is the reason the reviews below read the way they do.
Every review below is from a real client, and the full record is public. Read their stories here, then verify us on Google for yourself. When you are ready, reach out or call us at 816-680-6624 — we will treat your move like it is the only one we have.

Joe Nelson went above and beyond helping us market and sell a home in KC for our son who was on military deployment. Joe’s team and expert advice helped facilitate a smooth sale. Nelson Group was an excellent partner especially because we had to do all this from a different state. I highly recommend Joe!
Casey Kempter from the Home Nelson Group provided an outstanding home-buying experience from start to finish. We purchased a downtown condo in Kansas City relocating from California, and Casey made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
He was always quick to answer our questions, paid close attention to every request and detail, and was extremely accommodating throughout the process — even when we decided to change lenders and use a VA loan. His knowledge of VA requirements and downtown Kansas City condo living was invaluable. He is even going above and beyond after closing by helping us out with move-in logistics.
Michelle with Nelson Home Group is absolutely THE BEST! She helped us sell our home in less than 24 hours and guided us through the process of closing on our new build in Kearney.
From start to finish, she was always available to answer our questions, address concerns, and help us navigate every step of the process. She was incredibly organized, proactive, and always stayed on top of things. Buying and selling a home can be stressful, but Michelle made the entire experience so smooth and seamless.
Katy Gaines is an absolutely phenomenal real estate agent. Relocating from San Diego all the way to Kansas City could have been daunting, but Katy made it feel effortless. She listened to exactly what I was looking for, kept me updated throughout the entire process, and made sure I never felt rushed or pressured. Her deep knowledge of the Kansas City market, her incredible attention to detail, and the genuine care she showed for me and my family made all the difference. Thanks to Katy, I found the perfect home (twice LOL) and actually enjoyed the process along the way.
We couldn’t recommend Joe and his team enough. A little backstory: we previously signed a listing agreement with another agent. Our house sat on the market for over 100 days, only had a handful of showings and only one open house. After finally having enough, we canceled with that agent and signed over with Joe and his team to list our home. After less than one week of being on the market with him, we were under contract and scheduled to close less than a month later. Who you list with matters and costs you money. Do yourself a favor and just list and sell with Joe!!
All I can say is “Awesome Team”! Not only did they sell our house at above asking price, but negotiated $5000 in savings in closing on a brand new build for us! Josh Seitz was an all star! Went the extra mile for us! Joe and his team were professional, very kind and always ready to answer questions and go to bat!
Joe was an amazing realtor for us. We were selling an out of state property and needed a true professional to take this on. Joe was so diligent on every step of this process. Being an investment property it had some additional challenges and he did everything with professionalism and in a timely manner. This experience was everything we had hoped for with Joe!
I have not purchased a home in a long time and everything is different now. Casey was super patient, a wealth of information, and so kind. Because of his diligence I am moving into my own home again. Nelson Home Group is Veteran owned and I am extremely proud to call Nelson Home Group and especially Casey MY realtor.
Easy from start to finish! We contacted Joe to sell our home after being unsuccessful with another agent. Joe and his team were fast, professional and quick to answer any questions. We firmly believe we wouldn’t have been able to sell as fast as we did without the Nelson Home Group!
Joe helped me get into an incredible house 8+ years ago and he and his stellar team came in clutch when it was time to sell it. Professional from start to finish. Thank you!!!
Katy was phenomenal. I don't think we have the words to express our gratitude and appreciation for how easy our selling buying process was.

Katy was phenomenal. I don't think we have the words to express our gratitude and appreciation for how easy our selling buying process was. Katy took us from an idea to the perfect property to four offers on our home (with offers over the listing price) to inspections to the closing table. She was responsive and with us guiding us every step of the way. If you need an agent, Katy is your gal.

We were house shopping in a rather hard market to compete in. Our realtor, Elle, got us in so quickly to see every single house we wanted-we ended up going last minute to THE HOUSE and she didn't mind at all. She made sure we got the house over an investor and helped us figure out the whole buying process. I would highly recommend Nelson Home Group (Keller Williams) and specifically Elle to anyone shopping for a home.
They are something special here for sure!

Elle and Keller Williams are so awesome! Home prices seem to be getting out of control in Kansas City but they still found me something wonderful in my price range/zip code of choice.
I'm a first time home buyer and they made the whole thing so simple and explained everything in full. I can't describe the level of Joy I feel in a simple review. What I can say is they are a great start to wonderful journey.

Joe Nelson with Nelson Home Group, truly stands out in the real estate world for his personalized approach to helping clients find their perfect home. Throughout the process, he made a concerted effort to ask thoughtful questions and really listen to both my husband and me. He took the time to understand not only what we were looking for in terms of features but also our lifestyle and long-term goals. His clear explanations of the home-buying process, along with his patience in answering all our questions, made us feel completely at ease. Joe’s ability to guide us with insight and empathy while we searched for a home made all the difference—he didn’t just show houses; he helped us find the right one for our family!
