  • The right agent should offer more than access to listings—they should understand lifestyle, neighborhoods, and market nuances. When buying in Kansas City, look for an agent who listens carefully, explains the process clearly, and advocates for you at every step. At Homes by Cheryl Bowman, my approach is personal, strategic, and relationship-driven, ensuring you feel confident from your first showing to closing day.

  • A personalized home search means your lifestyle, priorities, and long-term goals come first. I take time to understand how you live, work, and unwind—then curate homes and neighborhoods that truly align with that vision. You can expect thoughtful recommendations, honest guidance, and a process that feels tailored, not transactional.

  • Buyer closing costs in Kansas City typically range from 2–4% of the purchase price, depending on loan type and terms. These may include lender fees, title insurance, inspections, appraisals, and prepaid items. I walk my clients through every cost upfront so there are no surprises.

  • From the start of your search to closing, most buyers take 30–90 days, depending on market conditions and preparedness. Relocation buyers may take longer during the planning phase. My role is to help you move efficiently—without ever feeling rushed.

  • Yes. Kansas City offers a variety of first-time homebuyer and down payment assistance programs, depending on location and eligibility. I help buyers explore options and connect with trusted local lenders to determine what programs may apply to you.

  • Absolutely. Relocation is a core part of my business. I work with buyers moving from across the country and provide guidance well beyond the transaction—from neighborhood comparisons and school insights to lifestyle planning and trusted local resources.
