Todd Mefford

We had a particularly difficult home to sell in a relatively bad housing market. First off, Todd and Laurie took time to establish the best pricing given that the market for our farm/house was changing very rapidly. They took time to research comparables and consider what was the best course of action to sell our home. A lot of time, realtors don't dive into the data like we believe Todd and Laurie did. Once the house was on the market, we felt like Todd and Laurie took steps to be creative and consider options for marketing and seeking out-of-state buyers for the property. We always felt that they were strategic in their process and worked tirelessly to find a buyer and get the home sold.

Todd & Laurie treated us very well, had our best interests in mind, and were very honest about the houses we could afford as well as the fair price of the house we bought. They never pressured us, rushed us, or acted like every house was good as we looked at over 20 houses. Todd carried a little flashlight that he used to inspect each house for any flaws, foundation issues, potential safety concerns, and age of utilities. His diligence led us to avoid houses due to some not so apparent issues. When we found the house we wanted and the sellers wanted a later closing in the offer, Todd and Laurie held them to the desired closing and even offered to lower their commission (without our knowledge) as an incentive to ensure we got the house we wanted. We consider Todd and Laurie good friends who will always be welcome at our home.

I could write an entire book on why I won’t work with or recommend these two people ever again but for the sake of time, here are the highlights: 1) the entire “team” (agents, inspectors, broker, etc.) did not seem competent; 2) at the last minute we had to shift the closing day because seemingly no one with the loan originator’s office wanted to work over the holidays (the close date was set obviously weeks in advance);3) the agents tried to conduct a final walk through without my spouse or I present… which came off incredibly suspect; 4) when my spouse and I asked how one of us could close remotely, there was no clear and timely communication… my spouse and I both ended up having to be in person, which is ridiculous in the year 2026;5) at a certain point during the process, it seemed the agents were more interested in helping the eventual sellers sell their house as opposed to my spouse and I buying a house… this became evident upon close when over half of the contractual resolutions were not fulfilled by the seller. It wasn’t until I called out Todd and Laurie that resolutions actually took place, but they seemed fine before being called out to not do anything about the issues;6) inspection and inspection resolution was simply awful. Todd and Laurie absolutely pissed away our negotiating advantage as ideal buyers. I truly believe with other agents my spouse and I would have saved a five-figure sum once issues were found during inspection; 7) when the sellers proposed a “solution” to the major issue found during inspection, it was quite possibly the worst and most idiotic proposal ever put into words. Naturally Todd and Laurie thought this abomination of an idea was great and recommended we agree to it… although I knew the proposal was very suboptimal, I reached out to multiple plumbers for advice and all of them responded in a similar fashion: “obviously this won’t work;”8) I talked more with my previous realtor during this process due to lack of confidence

I had the pleasure of working with Todd and Laurie Mefford when selling my home in the city of Leavenworth, KS. Todd and Laurie are locals to this area and understand this market like the back of their hands. They were honest and straight forward with me in what the home could bring and what it may end up selling for. Todd and Laurie went all out in featuring our home from drone videos to 3D imaging and blue print modeling of the home, to organizing several open houses. The Mefford's even went as far as staging our home for us and making sure that our house was ready for any potential buyers while we were out of town. The negotiating process was even more impressive. Todd and Laurie were in constant contact with us and making sure they fully understood what we wanted and needed from the sale of our home but also keeping a balanced understanding of what the buyers needed and wanted. I wish I could pocket these two incredible realtors and use them in every city I move to, which happens often in my career. There is only one team to use in my book and it's Todd and Laurie Mefford.
