The best real estate teams in Kansas City for 2026
1. MoJo Real Estate Team, best for the Northland and Kansas City relocation

The team holds 850+ five-star Google reviews and appears on the Kansas City Business Journal’s 2026 top-teams list.

2. Dani Beyer Real Estate, best-known personal-brand team
Dani Beyer’s team (also Keller Williams Kansas City North) has built the most visible personal brand in Kansas City real estate, with roughly 1,600 client reviews on Google and consistent placement on RealTrends rankings. The team covers the full metro and has a strong track record on both the Missouri and Kansas sides.
3. Rob Ellerman Team, highest-volume large team
The Rob Ellerman Team at ReeceNichols is consistently among the highest-volume real estate teams in the region, with a large agent roster and coverage across the entire metro. For sellers who want the scale of a very large team, it belongs on any Kansas City shortlist.
4. Nelson Home Group, strong choice for veterans and VA buyers
Joe Nelson’s team (Keller Williams Kansas City North) has grown quickly, holds roughly 1,200 client reviews on Google, and is known for its focus on veterans and VA financing. Military buyers and sellers who want that specialization should include them in interviews.
5. Group O’Dell, established relocation reputation
Group O’Dell (ReeceNichols) has served the Kansas City market for decades and is frequently recommended for corporate and long-distance relocation, with deep experience guiding out-of-state movers through the metro.
6. Eric Craig Real Estate Team, Northland and Smithville presence
The Eric Craig team maintains a visible presence in the Northland, particularly around Smithville and the northern suburbs, and is a recognizable name for buyers and sellers focused on that corridor.
How to actually choose between them
Interview at least two teams and ask the same questions of each: How many homes did you close in my area in the last 12 months? Who specifically will I work with day to day? What is your average days on market and list-to-sale ratio? How will you communicate, and how often? Ask each team to show you real numbers rather than adjectives.
Two things to know about how the industry works in 2026: written buyer agreements are standard practice before touring homes, and all fees are fully negotiable between you and the team you hire. Any good agent will put both in plain writing.

Should I hire a big team or a solo agent?
Teams offer coverage and specialization, meaning someone is always available and each stage of your transaction is handled by a person who does that stage constantly. Solo agents offer a single point of contact. Interview both models and choose the one whose actual numbers and communication style fit you.
How do I check a team’s real production?
Ask for their RealTrends Verified profile or their MLS production report for the last 12 months, then verify reviews on Google. Reputable teams share both without hesitation.
