Nick did a fantastic job of helping us find a lake house.

He knew the market well. After viewing a couple of houses with us, he figured out what we were looking for and what was important to us. He took the time to go view houses for us, saving us the time. Also had connections to contractors to help us with getting quotes for painting & electrical. Highly recommended using Nick for your next home purchase.

She is not only knowledgeable about the market and negotiations, but is truly caring, kind, and so generous with her time. It was not uncommon for her to drive over late evening hours to get things done - she insisted on bringing me keys to my new home to me in a TORNADO WATCH! She is a SuperHero Woman - I swear she does not sleep!! She also shared her contact information of the BEST, honest, Christian home repair team for after market fixes/wants. I trust them all to work in my home while I'm not there. She is an invaluable wealth of information and just an over-all lovely person!

Kelley Kelly

Just outstanding.

Paula is on top of everything! I've purchased multiple homes and I can say that the experience of this purchase was the absolute best with Paula at the helm.

Charles Bise Jr.

Katie was such a phenomenal asset in my home buying process!

She listened to my wants and needs, she helped me consider potential hazards, and went above and beyond to help me close. Imagine someone who shells out their own money without even mentioning it just to get the house closed. Imagine how helpful it is to have someone who will call 20 businesses to find a person to make repairs the next day. Imagine knowing you have someone on your side to run to the house to check everything is working or call the lender to negotiate your loan! Katie is that person! I cannot imagine getting where I am as soon as I did without her. Katie is there for you!

Ivy Hendrix

Nick was very knowledgeable and full of great suggestions.

My fiance and I were at the bottom rung of understanding with the home buying process and he definitely showed us the ropes and guided us. He was generous with his time. I would work with him again in a heartbeat.

Jacob Ziskind

If you have ever seen the movie "The Money Pit" I had a house that rivaled that!

I tried to sell it myself (FSBO) and kept running into problems. I am convinced that it would have dragged out for several more months if Heather had not come to my aid. She went above and beyond the call of duty, she bent over backwards to help me out and through the entire process she provided excellent advice. Her knowledge of the local market, of real estate in general and of people was essential in the successful completion of this transaction. I am so thankful for her assistance with getting this property listed and then sticking with me through the process of addressing the never-ending inspection repair list. If she decides to start a new line of work she would make an excellent general contractor because that's essential the role she filled for me; providing me with contacts and assisting with access to the property to complete an extensive demand for repairs after the home inspection. Heather had EVERY right to fire me as a customer based on the amount of work that she had to do to help me get this house over the finish line. Heather, I will never forget this house or the remarkable level of assistance that you provided to me. I know that Heather had other things going on in her life during this time and no doubt other properties/owners that she was working with, but never once did I feel like an afterthought or that she wasn't able to provide anything other than exemplary service. As long as Heather continues to work as an agent in the greater KCMO metro I will never need another agent. I trust her completely and literally cannot say enough positive things about her. Ironically every time she called I knew she had bad news but she was faithful to call as soon as the situation came to her attention and she would help me work through options to move past the most recent obstacle. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

John Turley (Real Estate Investor)

Rachelle did an amazing job, from start to finish, gave great advice on the property to prepare for the sale.

Continued to advise during the active listing, communicated very effectively and had a great sense where the market was for the entire process. I would highly recommend her to anyone actively listing their home in todays market. Thanks again Rachelle, you were great.

Darrin Griesemer (Business Development)

Amanda Hayes (Client )

We recently listed our house with Paula and are so glad we chose her.

What stands out the most was her excellent customer service.. Paula and her team treated us like we were the only client they had. The photos and description was posted quickly. She always made sure to give us plenty of notice for showings. If there was questions she was right there with an answer. We always felt like she was there for us. I will definitely choose her again!

Jason & Cari Webb

Just outstanding.

Paula is on top of everything! I've purchased multiple homes and I can say that the experience of this purchase was the absolute best with Paula at the helm.

Charles Bise Jr.

We were very pleased with Nick.

Admittedly, we were a little nervous that he was on the younger side, but quickly recognized how 'on top' of the sale of our house was. When we met him for the first time for a walk-through, it was obvious he had done his homework. We had concerns about how this house may be a challenge to sell, especially with fast-approaching holidays. We knew it was important to get the home on the market quickly and Nick quickly provided the necessary resources and connections to get the house on the market quickly. His recommendation for pricing were right-on and validated with multiple offers within a few days. There were a few concerns that arose during inspections, but he provided the needed direction to move through this aspect of the sell with minimal stress. There was a financing glitch that he addressed head on, keeping us informed. We would highly recommend Nick for any real estate needs.

Jeanette Metzler

My wife (Anastacia) and I were recently had the pleasure of working with Heather during the purchase of our home, and we could not be more grateful for her experience.

From the very beginning she demonstrated professionalism, expertise and genuine care for our family’s needs. Heather guided us through every step of the process with patience and clear communication. Even with a 2-hour time difference, she made herself available to us for whatever questions or concerns we had. We could not be more thankful for her patience and assistance. Although our purchase has been completed, we still have questions and Heather has continued to make herself available to any questions that we may have. We will make future purchases, and will call upon Heather for her professionalism and guidance. Thank You Heather

David Smith (Home Buyer)

My husband and I have been truly blessed to be paired with Heather as our realtor through out our home -buying journey.

While purchasing a home remotely was intimidating at first, she quickly made the process feel manageable and stress-free. She was always available to answer questions, provide updates, and guide us through each step with patience, professionalism, and genuine care for our needs. What sets her apart is her commitment to clients even after closing. Heather remains a valuable resource, offering support, recommendations, and assistance whenever needed. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a realtor who is not only excellent at her job but also truly invested in her clients’ success and satisfaction long after the transaction is complete.

Anastacia Thomas-Smith (New Home Owner )

Heather Bridges was an outstanding real estate agent who truly went above and beyond for me and my family throughout our home-buying journey.

From the very beginning, she was fully engaged—maintaining constant communication with all parties involved and ensuring nothing ever fell behind or became a roadblock on our side of the transaction. Heather worked tirelessly to meet every deadline and kept the entire process moving forward smoothly. She was also a strong advocate for us, negotiating hard to secure a great deal while always keeping our best interests at the forefront. One of the things that set Heather apart was her attention to detail and the quality of her recommendations. She connected us with the right inspectors and resources, providing valuable insight that helped us make confident, informed decisions. Thanks to Heather’s dedication, expertise, and commitment, we were able to find and purchase our dream home. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, hardworking, and truly supportive real estate agent.

Gabe Cantrell

Keri was recommended to me by my cousin who has used her as a realtor when relocating to KC.

From the time I had talked to her about what I was looking for she was immediately on board and gave me every possible house available to look at. She even gave great advice on what to look for and what I should avoid. She always responded to my questions in a timely manner and made sure I stayed up on what I should be doing. I work full time and she made it as convenient as possible to work with my schedule. versus hers. I definitely would recommend her to anyone looking for a house. She’s funny, easy going, honest and makes house hunting fun even when it got discouraging. She kept positive and optimistic!

Paula and her team were amazing!

We were on a tight timeline around the holidays to meet a new job start date while working with VA, she got it done beyond expectations getting us in our dream home. She really knew the area and listened to what we wanted, she provided extra details including house information packets and real life consideration points during house hunting, but she also gave us space when my husband and I needed to discuss. After we picked the house she was on top of every detail and keeping us informed at all times. We were impressed with how she handled challenges with so much investment it was like it was her house. We got in our house quickly and smoothly thanks to her and her team. Unexpected bonus was at closing she also gave us our first house warming present, it was perfect and further showed how well she had paid attention to all the details of what our home meant to us. Thank you Paula, and thanks to all her team who helped from her husband to her office team!

Shiloh Bise

Julie did an outstanding job helping me sell my mother’s home in Overland Park, Kansas, and she made a stressful, emotional process feel seamless and well-managed from start to finish.

Because I was selling the home remotely from Frisco, Texas, I relied heavily on Julie’s expertise, organization, and communication — and she exceeded my expectations at every step. She was incredibly resourceful in coordinating third-party services such as repairs, clean-out, deep cleaning, and appraisals, ensuring everything was handled efficiently and professionally without me needing to be constantly on-site. Julie was always available to answer questions, provide updates, and offer thoughtful guidance. Her responsiveness, attention to detail, and deep knowledge of the local market helped the home sell quickly and smoothly, and I always felt confident knowing she was managing every detail as if it were her own property. If you’re looking for a real estate professional who is proactive, trustworthy, and truly goes above and beyond, Julie Gadwood is exceptional. I am deeply grateful for her support and would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.

Allyson Giddens

We were sure that Julie and Gretchen would do a great job of selling our home from our first meeting with them around the kitchen table.

They guided us through every step of the process, from coordinating home repairs to holding the open house. They were by our side through inspections and appraisals. Their energy and enthusiasm were evident throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Julie and her team.

Gretchen was absolutely wonderful.

She made house hunting a pleasure. She was always on call and demonstrated a sense of responsibility like we have not seen from the average real estate agent we have worked with in the past.

"We had an amazing experience as first-time homebuyers working with the NextHome Gadwood Group, and especially with Nick. He was incredibly communicative and always on top of every detail. He made himself available and was flexible with our schedule, and we never once felt rushed or pressured during our search. Nick gave us his honest opinions throughout the process, which we really appreciated—especially since that kind of transparency can feel rare in real estate. We’re so grateful for his support and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable realtor."

"Nick has helped me with both my first and second home purchases. He does a fantastic job of understanding the surround neighborhood and market. There is no other agent in the KC area who is able to provide me with the data and understanding of the current market. When it came to negotiation, Nick advised me on both transactions to feel comfortable with the numbers before moving forward. I could not recommend nick more & will 10/10 be using him again!"

"Nick is the best in the business. I moved to Florida and Nick looked after the house like it was his own. He got the house ready to show. The house showed brand new. We sold in 2.5 months with 2 price changes and received a full price offer. This happen quickly because of Nick's market knowledge and expertise. Nick went out of his way to help clear out the house the week of closing. I had a ton of items to get rid of. I returned to Fla and Nick took care of the rest. You will not find a better realtor. I appreciate Nick and Nexthome Gadwood for all of their hard work!!! Cheers Nick"
