"Fantastic!" "Best of the Best!" Those are words clients use to describe Jodi Kaplan---experienced, energetic and empathetic Realtor extraordinaire!

"I have known her for several years.  She sold two houses for me and bought two from me." said John Karr, a long-time Kaplan client. "She is just a little go-getter, a ball of energy who can be aggressive without seeming to be. She is very organized very efficient and a very good person---? one terrific lady!" (Kaplan sold Karr´s Hallbrook Farms home in three days with multiple offers.)

Strong and positive client reaction is not uncommon for Kaplan, who has been in the residential real estate business nine years. She gives her buyers and sellers her all.

"I give 100 percent. When I work with buyers, they think they are the only persons in my life. My clients become part of the Kaplan family," she said. Buyers benefit from her experience and knowledge, which enable her to guide them to that home best suited? and best priced? for their needs. "I have children and I have older relatives, so I can understand all kinds of housing requirements. I can help all people, especially young families working with a strict budget."

         As skilled as she is with buyers, she is equally strong as a listing agent. She combines energy, knowledge and enthusiasm in her quest to sell her clients´ homes.

"When you are ready to list your home, you need to hire someone who is aggressive, who has a proven track record, who knows how to price," Kaplan said. She fulfills all those requirements.

"Right pricing," she says, "is essential! Price it right, and it will sell quickly. If the for-sale sign is in your yard more than two months, it becomes landscaping."

Beyond right pricing, Kaplan helps sellers prepare their home to be marketed---arranging for a pre-listing inspection "to avoid any surprises" and using a professional decorator to help "stage" the property.

The results prove the merit of her methods: Kaplan´s listings average 42 days on the market and sell within 98 percent of their listing price.

Kaplan holds the Accredited Buyer´s Representative and Graduate Realtor Institute professional designations. In 2004, she was in the top 1 percent for sales among all Reece & Nichols Realtors!

A full-service Realtor, she is comfortable working with hometown clients and people new to the city. "When someone is moving to town, they need doctors, hairdressers, day care, and schools.  I can provide them with good information. My clients are very special to me!"

And she is always ready and eager to share her experience and knowledge. "Call me today for a free property analysis or information on the last five sales in your neighborhood. If you need information regarding the increase in your property taxes, please give me a call for assistance."

How does she get it all done? "I don´t over-commit. My goal isn´t to claim the highest volume in town; my goal is to have completely satisfied customers!"

Born and raised in Kansas City, Kaplan began her real estate career in 1995 after returning from Scottsdale, Arizona, where she graduated from Arizona State.  "I moved to the beautiful Country Club Plaza.  I cherish the sense of the past, the mature landscaping, and architectural interest present in this community.  I continue to list and sell homes in Sunset Hill, Westwood Hills, Romanelli, Brookside, Armour Hills, Crestwood and Mission Hills.   I currently reside in Leawood, KS with my husband and three children.  I love raising my family in this remarkable city!"
