” We were really making an aggressive decision in the summer when we decided to put our house on the market in hopes of purchasing one particular house. Doug sat down with us and made a plan for what we really needed to do with our house prior to putting it on the market. But he went way beyond that. Recognizing that we didn’t have much time if we were going to get the house we really wanted, he rolled up his sleeves and helped. He brought over needed equipment and helped us tear down and put up a new fence, fix sinks and other items that we hadn’t gotten around to. He made a few trips to Home Depot  both with me and by himself for these repairs.

Once our house was on the market, he did a great job of negotiating both the sale of our old house and the purchase of our new house, walking us through e process and keeping our wishes and best interests at heart always. We did mange to get the house we wanted, anf he was helping all the way up to the closing, even bringing over his pickup and running a few loads for us when the moving company turned out to have brought a truck that was a little too small.

All in all, it was a fantastic experience, and I am extremely thankful to him for making our move possible. I highly recommend Doug if you are in the need of a real estate agent. You know you are getting someone who really cares about you as a person and will do all that he can to make your sale and purchase a success.

” Doug is absolutely the best! He will do what it takes to get your house sold! If it needs paint he will paint. He will help you move! He is a handyman and will do many projects himself. If he can’t do it, he will get reasonable contractors who can. Our sale people would comment, “Who ever heard of a realtor who will do this all for you?” Once you list with him he will do what it takes to get your house sold. I would absolutely hire him again and recommend him highly. And now…he’s a good friend.

“Doug helped my family move from Maryland to Kanasa City area in early November. We spent two days together looking at homes. Around 9pm on the first day, I threw a curveball at him by recommending we look at houses in a different price range. He was ready in the morning with new neighborhoods in the same area were were looking at and I saw my future home within the first three hours.

Tremendously, he helped take everything to the finish line for our closing. My family had about a 35 day window to close and he helped push along the contractor’s finishing touches, bank loan, and home inspection to meet our deadline – all while I was in Maryland. We were able to close even earlier which allowed us to move in just two days after our second child was born.

I couldn’t imagine how this would have went without Doug’s attention to our family’s needs. We are truly grateful to have met and worked with him and will continue to stay in touch with him and family.

Thanks again, Doug!”

“Thank you for coming along when you did and convincing me that working with you would be so much more beneficial than trying to sell my condo myself. I did not know the first thing about how to sell a property. I just put a sign in the yard and hoped someone would come along and buy it. I am so appreciative that you called and offered your services.

You made sure we had all the paperwork that was legally required. Then you had fantastic photos taken of the property and put up an attractive listing on the websites where lots of people would see! You had open houses to make sure it was seen by lots of people and had an offer within a week. And you priced it $12,000 higher than I was going to ask! Even though the first offer didn’t go through, (no fault of yours) you did not get discouraged, but kept up the positive energy and got another offer in no time! That was even during the holiday season! You managed every detail from inspection, meeting workers at the condo, to closing. You even raked leaves!”

“He helped stage the inside and outside of my home and did so much more than any realtor that I have ever had. He was honest and when he said he would call he did. If I ever need to sell a house again I would use him hands down. I have given out his information to my friends and family and he has helped them.”

Upon arriving back in Overland Park from a week-long river cruise in Europe, Doug Karley had managed to stage, sell, buy, and move my daughter’s family into a beautiful new home. This set the stage for Mike and I to seriously contemplate moving after living in our home for 38 years! All aspects of our move, from selling our three bedroom home to buying our new patio home was easy, smooth and efficient. Doug made sure our home was in perfect condition to stage even if it meant chopping tree branches, moving furniture and transporting major appliances. Doug’s determination and ability to stay calm, focused and on task, motivated us to listen and concentrate on our responsibilities during the move. Doug put our house on the market on Friday and it sold on Monday! I highly recommend Doug to be the professional to sell your home!!!
