A starting point if you're comparing towns. I'll keep adding detail as the site grows.
Comparing agents? See Best Kansas City Real Estate Agents: How to Choose, with a guide for each town.
My home base. Historic downtown, the Hall of Waters, and a lower typical sale price than nearby towns, which is why so many first-time buyers start here.
The heart of the metro. Neighborhoods can feel completely different from one street to the next.

Where I grew up. On I-35 and MO-92, about 25 minutes from downtown.

Next to Smithville Lake, with houses and some townhomes.

Historic square, established streets, and a lot of reasons people stay.

A bigger city with deep history and a wide range of homes and prices.

South of the city. Parks, shopping, and a lot of newer housing.

River bluffs, a walkable downtown, and a quieter feel close in.
Don't see your city? I might still be a fit. Tell me where you're looking.
