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.

As featured on FOX4 Kansas City. Our RealTrends Verified 2026 ranking — number one in Kansas City for homes sold — was announced in July 2026 and carried by FOX4 Kansas City. Consequently, you do not have to take our word for anything: the ranking is built on independently confirmed production data, not nominations or popularity votes.

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!

Katy, Stacy and their entire team made the selling and purchasing of our home so incredibly seamless! Anytime we had a question throughout the process, they were able to provide a quick answer to help guide us in the right direction. Katy helped us list our home at a competitive price which quickly led to us receiving multiple offers above asking price. She also quickly got to know our entire family, including our two daughters and dog to help bring ease and comfort to the whole family through the transition in moving homes. Katy checked in on us several times leading up to, during, and after our move to make sure we reached every step of our journey with success. We can't say enough about Katy and Stacy! They were so helpful in making every step extremely easy and clear during a very hectic time.

Casey Kempter is the best realtor in town. For approaching senior citizens as myself who’s behind on times Casey was right there to help me with everything. He was so easy to work with. Casey was so patient with me and went through the whole house helping me figure out what I needed to fix or change to help the house sell. He was always a phone call away. If I couldn’t make a date he would bring it to my office. He just made everything so simple for me. If you’re looking for a realtor that takes their time and very much cares about your needs he’s your realtor! Everything you did from you so much appreciated thank you!
