As a life long resident of Joplin, I have known real estate all my life. I am a third generation Realtor and have been in the business since 1981. I have consistently been in the top 1% of top producing agents, been in ownership of two real estate companies, and been involved in the development of Arbor Hills, Dingle Acres, and The Highlands, all highly successful developments.One of my greatest pleasures is assisting sellers in preparing their properties for the market, facilitating the best ways to realize the most profit and ensuring a smooth transaction.Adjusting to an ever changing market, exposure is extremely important. My team and I take great pride in utilizing the most innovative techniques for reaching the most buyers for our sellers. Working with the best lenders in the industry, they prequalify our buyers, educate them on the home buying process and work closely with us to achieve success.Marketing a property happens long before we open the front door with our buyers. We use professional photographers to capture the essence of our properties because we are not marketing a house, but a life style. We help our sellers present their homes in the best light possible emphasizing the best selling features and correcting any negative aspects.Our team includes my husband, Jackson who specializes in finding our buyers the best properties at the best values and our assistant Kyra.If you are considering buying or selling, we would love to be your Realtors.Sincerely,Kathleen Martz-Spidell
