Our move from New Zealand back to Kansas City was difficult enough, not to include the monumental task of finding the right home in a short supply, and competitive Mid-West housing market. It's fair to say, Jen had a tall task in working with us, while we were overseas, and when we arrived back to North America. True to the professional, personable, and classy person that she is, Jen worked tirelessly to not only assist us in our wide ranging 300K to 1.5M home search, but also whatever we needed as in our transition home. While we are not proud to say we likely set the record of the most homes seen (North of 50), Jen never wavered in our search, was incredibly patient, always communicated, and finally landed us with a home that was pretty close to a Goldilocks "just right", in the exact area we had hoped. On the ground it took five months, however we worked with Jen for well over nine. Insightful, well-connected, extremely client oriented, and super organized, our family highly recommends Jen, and the NextHome Gadwood Group.

Jen was my agent as I simultaneously sold one home and bought another. I could not have asked for a more attentive, dedicated or savvy realtor. First, Jen sold my home within hours of it hitting the market for above list price! Then, she immediately turned her attention to finding the perfect new home for me and skillfully negotiated to get everything I wanted. Beyond the actual transactions, Jen was incredibly responsive and supportive throughout the process, right up through and even after closing. She is the epitome of a full service realtor. To say that she goes above and beyond for her clients would be an understatement. I could not be more satisfied, and I cannot recommend Jen enough.

This was our first time buying a house and Jen did a great job. She was very knowledgeable about the process and always available to show us listings (we looked at a lot). She made it very easy to buy our house and I would definitely recommend her.

This was our first time buying a home so naturally my wife and I were nervous about who to pick as a realtor. Upon meeting Jen at our first home viewing, all of our worries went away. Jen was very approachable and knowledgeable about the home buying proces. Even with our crazy work schedules, Jen was always available for questions, advice and to view homes at a moments notice.
My wife and I couldn't be happier with our first home!
Thanks Jen!!

Jennifer was extremely helpful in helping my wife and I find our first home. She was a very good communicator and was willing to help us at any time of day. In this tough market for buyers, she helped us stay the course and stay encouraged until we were finally able to get our home. I would 100% recommend her to a friend or family member!

Jen is very organized and detailed oriented. We had very specific needs and she kept working with us to find the right new home for us.

When it came to closing we had a complicated transaction that our Big Bank was giving us issues with financing. She recommended Fairway Mortgage and helped us work with them to complete our financing and meet our closing in 7 days!

Without Jen's help we would not have been able to find our new home or meet our closing date. We are so grateful for her hard work and dedication to helping us find the right home and meet our closing date.

As far as selling our home, she was thorough with explaining our offers and made everything a smooth transaction.

I highly recommend Jen to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

When I started down the sale path Jen was very patient and respectful of my timeline. She was responsive and leveraged the strengths of her team. Despite being a stressful time she made the experience as enjoyable as possible. She was efficient & respectful of everyone's time.

Six years ago I was a divorced, unemployed, female veteran living in a homeless shelter for military veterans. Fast-forward to two years ago when I was introduced to Jennifer Young by a mutual friend. My journey toward home ownership was fraught with pitfalls and disappointments. Covid hit the housing market and then exploded, which threw my house hunting into high gear. Jen had my back. She guided me through all the pitfalls, which included viewing homes with a service dog, during COVID-19 restrictions, falling in love with houses that were sold before I finished the viewing, and having to rescind an offer I made on a house too difficult for me to live in. She explained everything about applying for a loan, making an offer, found me a handyperson, and even found a washer and dryer for my new home... for FREE! Jen has been the most amazing realtor and beyond that she has become a friend. I am now a fully employed military veteran who owns her own home! I couldn't have done any of it without Jennifer Young!

She really went above and beyond with us being first time home buyers. She was always available to answer questions and give guidance when needed. Truly appreciate what she did for us!

Since we were moving from a different state, we purchased our home sight-unseen with Jennifer's help. She was very generous with her time and expertise. She even drove to several homes to do a video-tour for us. We also appreciated her honesty and fast responses. Thank you Jennifer for making this move and purchase so easy!

Jennifer is excellent at what she does. She will not quit until you have found what you are looking for and will be there for anything you need along the way. I never plan on buying another home but if that day comes. I can guarantee she will be the first one I call.

A friend recommended Jen to us after her family worked with her to buy and sell their own home. We are so grateful they recommended Jen to us as we bought our first home. Night or day she was working around the clock for us. She was always available to tour a house, answer a question and calm our nerves. She was also just fun to work with! Since we closed on our house she has been available to offer recommendations on home maintenance projects. We know that Jen had our interest at heart and that we could truly trust her. Jen made the process easy and stress free for a first time home buyer. We would highly recommend working with Jen whether you are a first time home buyer or an experienced homebuyer. We also enjoyed working with a smaller real estate company and highly recommend NextHome Gadwood Group as well.

Jen was wonderful throughout the entirety of this process. We ended up closing on the house super fast (24 ish days) and Jen was super helpful with making the whole process simplified and easy for us, and she is also not one of these salesmen “robots” that you sometimes see that more just want you to “buy buy buy”, but instead Jen genuinely wants you to select The best house for you and your particular situation. Would recommend Jen 100/100 times, will definitely reach out to her again.

We worked with Jen for our home purchase and sale of our old home. Jen was typically always available the same day we would spring a house showing on her and communicated well throughout the entire process. This was our first home sale and she was able to explain the entire process and help us through all of our questions and the documentation. We enjoyed working with Jen and although we have found our “forever home”, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to someone else!

Jen sold our house for us almost two years ago. She gave us great advice for preparing to put it on the market, and worked tirelessly through showings and several open houses. Jen kept us informed every step of the way and was able answer all our questions. Jen doesn’t just work hard for you, she treats you like family. If ever we choose to move again we will call Jen. Why?, because Jen Young Sells!

Jen goes above and beyond for her clients! We have had the privilege of working with her twice. She successfully sold a house for us after two previous failed attempts with other realtors. Recently, she helped us find our new house after diligently searching for a home that would be perfect for our family. Jen is patient, thoughtful and wonderful to work with. She started out as our realtor, but has become my friend and we are so blessed to know her!!
