Joe and Marcy Maher recommends Gretchen Johnson

Where do we even BEGIN?! Gretchen was seriously such a God-send, my husband and I were first time homebuyers so to say we were overwhelmed is an understatement, Gretchen was so incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, she answered all of our questions and concerns about the house buying process and even there after she would take the time to go through each house with us thoroughly always expressing her concerns and helping us navigate contracts as we placed offers. What I can guarantee is that NO ONE will work harder for you to find the home of your dreams more than Gretchen Johnson. Real estate isn't just her job, it's her passion! She cares deeply about each of her clients and my husband and I can attest to that! Gretchen goes the extra mile to make you feel cared for in the house buying process from the first initial phone call to literally providing us the moving boxes we needed. And even on our move-in day she checked in and provided the most amazing welcome gift of house supplies! You seriously could not find a better agent than Gretchen Johnson to help you find your future home.

Devin Vickers recommends Gretchen Johnson

Gretchen did an absolute phenomenal job selling my house. She handled the entire process while I was out of state and made it so easy for me. I am beyond grateful for her professionalism and getting my house sold so quickly with the best deal possible. I’ve known her a long time and she is an incredible person while also being an outstanding real estate agent. She knows how to do it right and looks out for your best interest. I highly recommend her for anyone!

Bob Zarse recommends Gretchen Johnson

Gretchen is the most thorough, thoughtful, gracious & friendly agent we have ever experienced. We've moved 12 times in our marriage so we have seen many. Her professionalism and little "extra's" go such a long way. It is rare to find someone who responds to fast, so accurately and with proactive reminders. We are truly grateful.

Cassie Grinter recommends Gretchen Johnson

Gretchen is everything we could have ever asked for in a realtor. She is the definition of going above and beyond. Without Gretchen's knowledge and dedication, we never would have been able to secure our dream home. She was willing to go look at the home with us an hour before the Chiefs game, and then spent the entire Chiefs game writing up the perfect contract to seal the deal. We are forever grateful for everything Gretchen has done for us. We cannot recommend her enough!

She did a great job of selling my condo when I had to move to assisted living. She kept me up to date on exactly what was happening so I knew what to expect.

Megan Manning recommends Gretchen Johnson

Gretchen was fantastic to work with. I’m a first time home buyer and she helped me through every step of the process, explaining how everything works at each point and supporting my decisions. She always made herself available and even pulled in someone to help me look at a house when she was on vacation. Would highly recommend working with her. She is passionate about what she does and it shows!

Paula Biggins recommends Gretchen Johnson

I worked with Gretchen to help find a home for my son and daughter-in-law who are moving back to Kansas City from Texas.
Gretchen is a great listener, and is so helpful and easy to work with! She really paid attention to what we were looking for in a home and went out and found it! She researched the homes very well before scheduling a showing. Gretchen works tirelessly, always returned calls quickly and answered any and all questions we had in a timely manner. I would highly recommend working with Gretchen Johnson on your next home!

Gretchen made everything such a breeze for us. This was our first home purchase and we never felt like we were alone. Everything from her timeless to generosity was amazing. I’d recommend her to anyone in a heart beat

Gretchen sold my house in 2 days for more than the asking price. She had all the answers to my questions. Gretchen made the process easy and helped solve all the problems that came up. On top of that she is a great lady.

Janice Kennedy recommends Gretchen Johnson

I have bought and sold several houses and this has been, by far, the most amazing experience I have had. Gretchen's level of customer service is so far above and beyond that she is in a "Category of One". Her only goal is to ensure her customer is taken care of and is protected throughout the transaction. She recommended inspections on a new build, where some agents would not, and helped discover some issues that even the builder did not realize. She loves what she does and because of that, she treats every customer as family.

The day I closed on my Villa I came home to a counter full of "goodies and supplies" to get my new home started. These are the little things that set her apart from the others. I would recommend Gretchen to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. It has been the best experience!

Todd Herrenbruck recommends Gretchen Johnson

Gretchen did a fantastic job listing and selling my mothers home. We received multiple offers in the first two days. She was very professional and guided us through the process from start to finish. Her presentation of the home from bringing in furniture to using a drone to take arial videos was first class. If you are looking for someone who loves what they do and will get the job done I highly recommend Gretchen.

Tami Jeter recommends Gretchen Johnson

I have known Gretchen as a friend for years but this was my first opportunity to use Gretchen as a realtor when my husband and I decided to purchase an investment property. I was blown away by her professionalism, her knowledge of the real estate market and her attention to detail. Gretchen went above and beyond in every aspect of our transaction and she continues to support us even after our sale closed. I will never use another realtor and I cannot recommend anyone more highly than I recommend Gretchen Johnson.

We could not be happier with the incredible job Gretchen Johnson did for my wife and I. Gretchen is your advocate thru entire home buying process. Very hands on style and excellent communicator.

Get's the Job Done! We will use Gretchen again no doubt!

Scott Maher recommends Gretchen Johnson

As a business owner I have a certain standard of performance for those with whom I do business. Having had some sub-standard experiences with realtors in the past, I realize now that I may have entered our transaction with Gretchen with low expectations. Total mistake- I am totally blown away by her knowledge, dedication, and attention to detail. Gretchen is a subject matter expert, she is totally proactive, and she made the process a breeze. I love her attitude and I love working with her. I couldn’t recommend her more. Thanks Gretchen!!

Andrea Hiesberger recommends Gretchen Johnson

Gretchen is a phenomenal realtor and human. She was always on top of everything that needed to be done and kept us on track to be able to close on time despite some issues that surfaced with our house. She has created a strong network of people in the industry who were able to come fix our issues very quickly and at affordable rates. Not only did she get the job done but often went above and beyond to take care of us. She is the most responsive person I have ever dealt with and truly cares about her clients. I would definitely recommend Gretchen if you are looking for someone to sell or buy your house!

Jodee Litfin recommends Gretchen Johnson

Gretchen was a joy to work with. Extremely professional, experienced, honest, and well aware of market conditions and trends. She helped us in so many ways, including an excellent handyman resource, staging, helping to set up house cleaning service and window cleaning service, provided some moving materials, and even offering to help me clean the night before closing. She is a gem, you can’t go wrong with Gretchen!

Brooke & Andrew Whealon recommends Gretchen Johnson

Gretchen rocks!

She explains things as you need to know them and is really there to coach you through it, as a first time homeowner.

She had our best interest at heart which meant a lot to us. She’s an amazing negotiator, too. Her connections helped us with quick inspections - got every inspection offered, complete within 5 days of offer being accepted. Closed in 30. Unreal!!

Cannot say enough god things.

Nancy gatz recommends Gretchen Johnson

Gretchen Johnson was my realtor in a recent move. She was supportive and knowledgeable throughout the whole selling of my home. She was knowledgeable and worked well with the retirement home I moved to. I felt like I was working with a friend. I would recommend her to others who are thinking of selling their home.

Chris Hiesberger recommends Gretchen Johnson

What can I say better then Gretchen is a rock star. I never recommend realtors but Gretchen is the exception. Me and my wife were looking to buy a house and met her through our mortgage company. Within hours, she was already on the job and never quit until we found the right house. Never had such service she provided. Even after the close of our house she went way above and beyond. Never heard of any other realtor doing the things she did. Not only did we have a great experience working with her, we made a friend. Thank you so much Gretchen for putting up with me. ?? I'm already recommending you to others.

Larry Hadenfeld recommends Gretchen Johnson

Gretchen recently worked with me in successfully selling my home.
Her communication with me was phenomenal, as she always let me know when she would be entering or leaving my house, kept me informed of repair activities, and generally kept me 'in the loop'.
As I was downsizing (from a 4 BR house to a 2 BR apartment), I really appreciated the assistance she provided in suggesting potential resources for donations and for securing a dumpster for disposing of some no longer needed items.
I would highly recommend Gretchen if you are looking to sell your home!

Sue Strong recommends Gretchen Johnson

Gretchen has to be one of the best realtors in the area, if not the best. She knows the market and got more than I expected for the sale of my “fixer-upper”. She kept me informed of exactly what was happening throughout the sale process and was always available for any questions. Her advice was spot on and she has contacts for anyone or anything you might need to help you with your move. She is very enthusiastic and it is obvious she loves her work - and she is very good at it!

Carli H recommends Gretchen Johnson

Gretchen has gone above and beyond for us. This was our first home purchase and she made it a seamless process from start to finish! She was attentive, proactive, and gave us realistic expectations! Could not recommend this woman more, if you go with Gretchen you will get far more than a realtor and she’ll be there for you long after you find your home!

Anonymous recommends Gretchen Johnson

Selected Ms Johnson and her firrm from a short list of realtors offered by Tallgrass Creek (a retirement community where I now reside). Ms Johnson handled a rehabilitation type sale of my home taking care of everything from identification of potential bidders to showing the house to bidders and various inspectors to sale and closing all on a shorten time frame. Ms Johnson even assisted with co-ordination of moving my household goods to my new residence.

Gretchen did not only find us the house of our dreams, she did it quickly and honestly, showing us her professionalism and kindness throughout the entire process. She wants to help you and get excited with you! She has continued to help us as new homeowners, her job did not stop at closing. Highly recommend.

Melinda Jurczak recommends Gretchen Johnson

Gretchen did the most amazing job selling my mother-in-laws home!! Gretchen lined us up with an estate sale company, which took all the pressure off of us as family members to go through her home. She made sure we knew what was going on every step of the way. Her communication with us was very thorough. Gretchen got the house on the market in a very timely manner and it was sold within hours. Gretchen went above and beyond in all aspects for us and she’s extremely professional. We cannot recommend Gretchen enough!! She works hard and does things behind the scenes to take work off of the family.

I am very pleased with the results and guidance from Gretchen during the process of selling our home. Her knowledge of the housing market is excellent. Many times she went above our expectations in handling the details. I highly recommend her. Gretchen is amiable person that will help you reach your goal.

Jeff Mayberger recommends Gretchen Johnson

Working with Gretchen was the best experience we could have imagined in buying a house! She worked nonstop to find us the perfect house, spending countless hours day and night searching, answering questions, and dealing with sellers. Gretchen was extremely patient with us, especially as first-time homebuyers, and clearly explained every step of the process while also smoothly navigating other spur of the moment circumstances. Gretchen was on top of her game every second, and we would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a house! Gretchen will fight for what's best for you, leaves no stone unturned, and continues to provide help even after closing! We love Gretchen and you will too!

Gretchen Johnson is an outstanding realtor. She is always available to her clients and puts their needs first. Gretchen is so knowledgeable about the real estate market, and she helped me in every aspect of selling my house from listing to marketing to showings to negotiating a contract to closing. Plus she went the extra mile assisting with arranging an estate sale and handling errands. Her professionalism and genuine care for me was exactly what I needed during this process.

Gretchen was great! We were so lucky to have her as our realtor. She exceeded expectations and became our advocate. She arranged for needed repairs to our house and assisted in clearing out our house with her contacts. If you have a choice of realtors, you would be wise to choose Gretchen. She became part of our family and became a friend.

Gretchen Johnson went out of her way in an aggressive buyers market to get us in the best house. When she would show us homes - she would ask us great questions to get us narrowed in on what we really wanted in a home. We trusted her judgement because she would really listen to what we wanted. We will be using Gretchen every time!!!

If you or someone you know is thinking about selling their home, like and follow Gretchen Johnson at NextHome Gadwood group. She goes above and beyond on helping you find a house that fits you best. She walked me through over 60 home showings in 3 weeks as I was “picky” for the things I wanted, she had a smile on her face through every single home.

Joeann Campbell recommends Gretchen Johnson

Gretchen is absolutley amazing. She goes so far above and beyond. We had some hurtles while my daughter was purchasing her first home and she took on the challenge with me and made it so much easier. Almost like my daughter had two mom's that were on her side. If you need a realtor she is the only one I would recommend takes on the challenge and gets it done.

Kelsey Ney recommends Gretchen Johnson

Gretchen is an excellent relator! Gretchen helped me and my husband find our first home. She made the home searching and buying experience fun. Gretchen helped us understand the home buying process and promptly answered all of our questions. She found us a home within our price range in a good neighborhood. Not only that, the home she helped us find included all of our wish list items. The home buying process can be scary, but Gretchen is a strong advocate for her clients and makes the process feel manageable. I have already begun recommending Gretchen to my friends and family. I know she can help you too! 10/10 would recommend Gretchen.

Lucas Johnson recommends Gretchen Johnson

Gretchen went out of her way in an aggressive buyers market to get us the best house. When we would go and look at homes, she would let us know after the assessment (walk-in/tour) of the house if it was even worth it. We trusted her judgement because she looked at the process as if she was buying the house herself. I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH -- Any house from here on, we will be using Gretchen Johnson for all of our home buying/selling needs.

It has been a long year and I definitely couldn’t have done it without Gretchen Gragg Johnson !! She has been working so hard to make the sale of my childhood home a big success and words can’t describe how thankful I am for her. From the long days of painting to organizing even the smallest details she was there for it all and did such an incredible job. She’s been there for me in more ways than I can count and I’m so lucky to have her in my life!

Thank you to Gretchen and her son, Landon Johnson with LT Lawn & Landscaping for giving this home a new beginning. I can’t thank you enough!
