Long Time Kansas City Realtor with 30 Years in the Industry. I grew up in a Real Estate Family and learned from the best ~my mom and mentor~ MaryAnne Darst. I am a proud mother of four wonderful children and I have been happily married for 36 years. On the selling side, I personally oversee the staging and home preparation prior to going Active and because of those extra efforts, my listings sell rapidly and often over list price. On the buying side, my philosophy is to never sell anything to a buyer I would not sell to a family member. I believe my nursing background helps me be patient and work diligently to find each buyer their dream home that is also a solid investment. The agent you deal with does make a difference and I am proud to have the opportunity to have helped so many clients through what is often, one of the biggest decisions in their life. Weather you are buying or selling, when you put your trust in The Darst Team, you can expect hard work, professionalism, and honest, expert advice from beginning to end.
