Kansas City, KS
Jim and his team did an outstanding job of selling our home. We had 4 offers within 36 hours! From the time we met Jim until we moved out of our old home, he was with us every step of the way. His team is very responsive and answered every question we had. I would use them again in a heartbeat.
Jim and his team are the best, they always look out for their customers and their integrity is the best. Jim did an outstanding job of selling our house, going above and beyond to help everyone negotiate and feel like winners. Jim's team is on top of it all, always there to answer any questions and provide the best service!
Jim did an amazing job helping me sell my fixer upper house. He worked with me from start to finish to prepare the house for sell through closing. His insight and knowledge helped with decision-making. He and his team are very thorough, effective and generous in the process. I will work with Jim again if in need of a realtor in the future.
JIM IS THE SOLE REASON WE GOT OUR HOME. NOT EVEN EXAGGERATING. HIRE HIM. Heres our story: My wife and I had already bought two houses before working with Jim. Both experiences were bad and it was because of the realtors. One deal even cost us $500+ because the sellers didnt disclose unpaid fines. Between that and watching other people get burned, our expectations for realtors were already rock bottom. Fast forward to now. My wife is two months pregnant, we had a tiny window to move, and zero margin for mistakes. We found a house within 48 hours and met Jim to put an offer in. Jim knows the numbers. He knows what houses are actually worth. He didnt just aEURoesubmit an offeraEUR?aEUR"he told us what he would do if it were his own money. That matters. Jim doesnt think like a traditional realtor. He thinks strategically. Most realtors wont tell you what they really think because theyre afraid to lose the deal. I want to know what you really think. Jim gave us his honest opinion, and it directly influenced whether we even moved forward on this house. Then came the nightmare: the lenders!!! From the very beginning, Jim had a gut feeling this lender situation could go sideways. I'm a small business owner, this was my third home purchase, and the lenders acted like everything was fine....until three days before closing when they told us the deal wasnt happening. Thats when Jim went to war. For multiple days, he chased people down, got decision-makers on the phone, including VPs at the lender, and forced momentum back into the deal. Without Jims experience, persistence, and refusal to let this die, we would not have gotten this house. Period. If this were a newer realtor or someone without Jims experience, we would have lost it. Hire Jim. Hire his team. They showed up when it mattered most, and my pregnant wife and I are incredibly grateful.
I had a great experience working with Jim and his team when they purchased my uncles home in Liberty, Missouri, which was in probate while I was living in North Carolina. They were incredibly kind, professional, and truly went out of their way to make the entire process smooth and stress-free from a distance. Communication was clear every step of the way, and they made a difficult situation much easier to handle. I highly recommend Jim and his team to anyone needing a trustworthy and compassionate home-buying experience.
Jim Fussell and the Fussell Group helped me with the sale of a property in the spring of 2025. Jim did an excellent job navigating various challenges that came up, and I felt his recommendations were always in my best interest. Jim's ability to navigate a situation and negotiate accordingly applied not only with getting a buyer under contract, but also during the inspection period as well. Jim seemed to always be thinking two steps ahead, and his overall business knowledge, plus genuine care, led to the process being a great experience. I highly recommend he and his team for anyone buying or selling a home!
Absolutely the best experience--would recommend this team to anyone. My wife and I purchased our new home with Jim and appreciate his true integrity and professionalism. He was patient to communicate everything, address all our questions, and made us always feel like the focus of his business. His experience is truly valuable Blake and Kristin were also very communicative and always helpful.Thank you!

Jim was very knowledgeable of the area around our property. That knowledge helped us maximize the sell price. His recommendations of repairs and remodeling made the difference and brought in several views which ultimately helped the property to sell quickly. Thanks for your professionalism Jim!
Working with Jim Fussell and his entire team was an outstanding experience from start to finish. They were professional and responsive, and committed to making my home buying process smooth and stress-free. Every question I had was answered promptly, and I always felt supported and informed throughout the process. Their dedication and knowledge made all the difference. I highly recommend the Fussell Group to anyone looking for a realtor who truly cares about their clients. Cheers to my new home!!
Fantastic experience with Jim and his group from start to finish. He absolutely cares about his clients and wants them to be happy with not only their home but the entire process. I just cannot say enough good things about them!
Jim & The Fussell Group made the recent sale of my grandmas home so easy. Professional, honest and kind are just a few words that describe Jim. He made the entire process so smooth. I could not have asked for this process to be any better. Highly recommend Jim Fussell and The Fussell Group.
Jim and Kristin were very accommodating to our needs. We are out of state, so I thought that I would have more issues selling our home in Kansas City. They took care of all issues that came about. Not living there, did create some issues for me. Simple things, like finding someone to mow the lawn and water the lawn. Finding a person to do the inspection and cleaning of the ac/ heating unit. Jim took care of those issues with no hesitation. With much appreciation from me. I know when I sold a home where I live, I had to find contractors to do the work. They did more than what a normal realtor would have done. I feel that everything has gone very smoothly.
Jim and the Team were excellent start to finish. Helped make sure we were ready and got top price for the property and then brought it over the finish line. Highly recommend!!
Jim & his team are elite professionals in the real estate game. I have known Jim for several years. He tactfully kept in touch since the day I met him & I always knew when the time came to realize our family dreams & move to the country he'd be the guy I called. I truly believe Jim & his team got the max amount for our home. Meanwhile we were able to buy our dream property on 4 acres in an extremely competitive deal, both pre & post offer. There were many bumps along the way & Jim navigated them gracefully & professionally. In a world full of realtors, Jim is a humble & true professional who understands how to get a deal done while always serving the best interest of the client. Thank you Jim & Kristin for everything!
Jim helped us find and purchase this home in 2021 and then when a job change occurred and we needed to sell quickly, Jim flew to our rescue. The process on both sides was swift and easy. Jim was there every step of the way with his team to ensure we knew exactly what was happening and what to expect. We is very knowledgeable and made us feel at ease. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a focused realtor who always acts with your best interests in mind. *****
We had a wonderful experience with Jim Fussell and the entire team at The Fussell Group. Jim assisted us with finding a home and then helped make the buying experience painless. On a more personal note, we rented one of Jims homes prior to finding our dream home. If you are looking for a place to rent, you wont find a better landlord in the entire metro area. Jim keeps his homes up and is quick to respond if there are any problems. He is very proactive with owner maintenance. Overall, Jim is the nicest human being youll ever encounter. We came to know Jim and his family and they are the nicest people you could ask for. We highly recommend the Fussell group if you are looking to either buy or rent a home!
Jim and his team and HANDS DOWN some of the best people you will ever meet. Take away Jims excellent understanding of the market, real estate, and all the technical traits and you are left with the nicest human one could ask for. My wife and I just bought our first house with Jim and he made everything so clear. He told us everything we needed to know about the homes we were looking at (what was good and what to avoid) and what he would do to keep the appreciation of the house intact, if not increase. Jims whole idea of home buying isnt based on the paint color or small stuff but rather aEURoehows the lot with water runoffaEUR?, aEURoeis the foundation solidaEUR?, aEURoewhats the neighborhood likeaEUR?, and more. These things focus so much on the future of your home and the long term goals of you and your family. Jim isnt your average aEURoesalespersonaEUR?, he also has personally bought numerous homes and renovated them himself so he knows what it takes to increase home value and he knows what to look for in home inspections (and how much a fix will cost.) With that, Jim and his team come armed with numerous contractors, plumbers, and more that he uses on his own renovations, so you know these workers have been vetted and not some quid pro quo agreement. Jim and his team go above and beyond to help their clients get the best for what they are paying for. During our home inspection, Jim even got in the dirty crawl space and helped identify a massive plumbing issue while wearing his nicely pressed attire! He saved us hundreds while still looking sharp. Aside from Jim, his team was very helpful in ensuring that we have dotted our Is and crossed our Ts before ever solidifying anything. My wife and I cant thank Jim and his team enough for the purchase of our first home and the excellent guidance along the way.
Loved working with Jim and Kristin! They helped us buy and sell a home at the same time and made both processes as smooth as we could have hoped for. We will be working with them again in the future!
Jim and his team provided a great experience as a first time home buyer. His knowledge of real estate and the KC market in particular helped guide the process from the home search all the way through to closing. His office coordinator Kristin helped make all administrative tasks effortless. Excellent service all around.
Jim and his entire team were all fantastic to work with. He knows the market so well that we were able to just sit back and let him use his expertise to sell the house. From things to do to make the house more attractive to a strategy on selling price, we listened to him across the board and the house had offers in three days that were above what we expected. Kristin on Jims team was especially great to work with and quickly and cost effectively helped us prepare the home before listing and was always there through the process to guide us along the way. We have already asked Jim to assist my son in buying his first house. I cant imagine a better endorsement than that!
Superb job again by Jim and the Fussell Group. Quickly and smoothly sold our home while also helping our son purchase his first home. Great communications with Jim and Kristin. Each time weve used the Fussell Group it has been a great experience. I would not use any other realtor. Strongly recommend their services if you are looking to buy or sell.
The Fussell group made our experience selling so easy, quick, and enjoyable! They put you first and are very efficient and quick with your time. Would highly recommend them!
Working with Jim and Kristen was extremely simple and helpful! They were able to list and sell our house the same day. The paperwork process was smooth, Simple, and thorough! If we ever move back to Kansas City, we will definitely utilize the Fussell group?s expertise! They were easy to work with, and I appreciate it their client support. They gave us thank you gifts, as well as constantly letting us know how much they appreciated us working with them.
Jim and his team have been amazing to work with. I?m a first time home buyer so I had tons of questions. Everybody was super responsive and super helpful. When looking at houses Jim and Grant showed me what to look for and things to consider. Joe and his team have been superb as well. They always kept me in the loop of what was happening and let me know what I should expect in each step of the process.
Jim and his team were so helpful throughout the whole process of buying and selling a home. We were very picky about finding the right home for us and they were very patient. We could always get a hold of someone quickly with any questions. They set up everything to sell our home and got us a good offer within days on the market. Jim will fight to help get you a fair deal and genuinely cares about his clients.
Our experience working with the The Fussell Group was nothing but superb! This Kansas City based team is a local business with the traditional values of integrity, hard-work, and quality. From our very first meeting to our eventual home-ownership day, every interaction with the Fussell Group was professional, personable, and patient. Our real estate agents expertise provided us with confidence during every step of the home-buying process. Knowing we were being represented by the Fussell Group gave us peace of mind know every detail would be taken care of with speed and accuracy. We would highly recommend the Fussell Group to anyone considering a future home within the Kansas City area.
I recently worked with Catherine Otterstein, from the Fussell Group, as my realtor. She was very attentive and kept in constant contact with me through the entire home buying experience from start to finish. She is very friendly and listens well to what you are looking for in a home but is also honest about the market and what to expect and will not push you into purchasing a home above your budget or that is not a good fit. I really enjoyed working with Catherine and I would do it again.
Jim made the sale of our house a complete joy! He crossed every T and dotted every I. He did everything he said he would do and he is fair, honest and caring. I highly recommend Jim and his entire team. They are the best of the best!
Jim did an outstanding job assisting us with the sell of our home. He had it priced perfectly to sell fast. Gave us great advice without any pressure. Most of all we had great communication with him and he was here for us each step of the way. Very friendly and acknowledgeable.
Incredible experience working with Jim and his team! Such a smooth first home buying experience! The Fussell Group communicates quickly and have been incredibly helpful with all our questions.
Jim and Kristin were amazing to work with. They went above and beyond to help us sell our home! Jim is a great real estate professional , and an even better person. Highly recommended The Fussell Group for all of your home needs.
Moving is always a pain especially when you move across the State, having reached a senior age, lived in the house you are abandoning for 35 years with a lot of stuff we shouldnt have purchased in the first place. A challenge to say the least. This is where one needs professional help; we got it from Jim Fussell and his group. Words I would use that best describe the Fussell Group is their listening to the homeowner, their friendship, and their professional approach. Issues occurred that probably one would expect not to occur, but they did. Jim and Company stayed with us to a successful conclusion. Both wife and I got offers we were pleased with, and a sale was concluded. Thanks for your help, Jim and Group. Rick
Jim and his son Grant were the perfect pair to help me find what I was looking for. They have a great network of teams for inspections and financing and making a one stop shop for all needs to buy a house.
Jim Fussell was an excellent real estate agent to work with as a seller. He was extremely knowledgeable about the local real estate market, and offered valuable insight into the best strategies for pricing and marketing our property. He was always available to answer our questions, and provided us with timely updates throughout the process. Jim was also an effective negotiator and was able to get us a great deal on the sale of our home. His professionalism, experience, and expertise made for a seamless transaction. We would highly recommend Jim Fussell and his team to anyone looking for a top-notch real estate agent.
The Fussell Group performed with no issues. Jim and his team completed all tasks ahead of schedule and provided all the feedback we needed to make a decision selecting our home. I highly recommend anyone to contact the Fussell Group, Jim and his team are very professional, hard working, and honest.
My wife and I were looking for a house recently and were referred to the Fussell Group by a friend. This team did an amazing job getting us a house. We were pretty stressed about the process, but the Fussell Group made buying a house easy. They helped explain all the details and they helped get us the best offer on a house. Im sure that without them we would still be looking or would have overpaid for a house. Their expertise really set them ahead of the competition and made home buying a fun process. I highly recommend the Fussell Group to anyone looking for a trusted realtor and someone that will be on your side when making one of the biggest purchases you can make.
From the moment I met Jim I knew selling my home was going to be a lot less stressful than anticipated. He was so laid back, kind, and understanding. Kristen was an absolute delight every time I spoke with her and was quick to get back to me on any questions I had. I would highly recommend The Fussell Group to anyone wanting to seel or buy a home. They make you feel like close friends if not family.
Jim is the best and a man of integrity. Jim is very responsive and always available for his clients. He made the selling process easy to understand. Jim and team went beyond my expectations to sell my house. The best real estate company I have ever dealt with. Very professional, experienced and helpful agents. Highly recommended. The best real estate company I have ever dealt with. Very professional, experienced and helpful agents Highly recommended. Jim was great at giving us the right advise and list of things needed to spike interest in our house. In a matter of days our house was under contract just like Jim said it would be. Jim definitely has a passion for what he does and you can tell that he loves his job and by the services he provides to his clients. My wife and I loved working with Jim and team members Darlina and Kristin. They are the best and we will be grateful to Jim and staff forever. I highly recommend Jim and he will deliver the best results for his clients. Thanks a million, Jim!!!
I used the Fussell Group as a first-time homebuyer when purchasing a new construction home in a competitive market. They were extremely patient and personable. They really took the time to help me find what I wanted, explain the process, and make tailored recommendations. Jim is an excellent listener with a mind like a steel trap that makes you feel like you are his only client. His team listened and were extremely knowledgeable about the market. I trusted that I was in excellent hands from our first meeting. Its such a relief to know that I have someone for all future real estates purchases, whether for my residence or investment properties!
This was my first time selling a home and I really did not know what to do. They walked me through the process and made it very easy. Jim & his team were extremely friendly, showed tremendous expertise, & were very patient. They were always there when I needed them. The best recommendation I can give is that I will work with them again.
If I had an option to select 6 stars out of 5 stars, I would gladly do so. The entire Fussell Group, especially Lane, my realtor, were extremely knowledgeable, informative, and communicated with me extremely well. Especially if you're looking for your first home like me, the Fussell Group will sit down with you and eloquently explain every piece of the real estate puzzle to you in great detail. They were always by my side every step of the way and they treated my money as if it were their own. They worked endless hours (even till 2am) to gain your trust to find your perfect home within your criteria. I can't say enough fantastic things about this agency. I highly recommend anyone looking to buy a home to first start here, you will NOT be disappointed.
Jim Fussell and his team at The Fussell Group represent the best of the best. They served our family extraordinarily well with their time, expertise, perseverance, and passion. My family needed to move to Johnson county on a budget, with limited time, and The Fussell Group made it happen. As a family man, I also deeply appreciated that my own concern with finding the right home for my family was a high priority for Jim and his team. The Fussell Group went above and beyond my expectations in serving my family. I hold them in the highest esteem and have confidence that they will continue to serve other just as excellently as they have served my family. Best of the best!
Our home-buying experience with Jim and his team was nothing short of exceptional. We chose to work with them because of the unique and compelling strategy they use to help buyers navigate this challenging market. Jim and his team took the time to really listen to and honor what we were looking for in our home. Within just 8 days (!!) of meeting them, we had an accepted offer on a home that had all of our aEURoemust havesaEUR? - a rarity in any market - but especially in this unusually competitive one! When we ran into a few snags with the inspection on our home, they helped us to navigate those issues with expertise, patience, and remarkably dedicated follow-through. Despite having many clients to attend to, Jim and his team were there to address our questions and needs every step of the way. We recommend them enthusiastically and without reservation!
Jim and his team were a delight to work with. Right from our first meeting, he came prepared with all the needed info from his research on our home, our subdivision and the housing market. He and Darlina were quick to respond to any questions and concerns we had. They guided and updated us on every step of the way. They provided good recommendations on how to get our home market-ready (handyman, painting, carpet, home staging) and even provided free trash hauling service. Jim is a true professional, truthful, honest and very realistic on market trends. I definitely recommend Jim and his team to anyone looking for a real estate agent.
I would highly recommend to anyone looking to purchase a home. Everyone involved was nice and easy to work with. Very knowledgeable and treated us like people as opposed to just a number. Thank you so much.
We first met with Jim several months before we were actually ready to sell our home. He came out to meet with us and and we had an awesome visit. There was absolutely NO pressure and he made us feel like he was completely invested with the best outcome possible for us. One day out of the blue his assistant, Darlina made a trip to our home and brought us some delicious bread. Once we were ready to list our home, he came back out and again spent plenty of time going over the paperwork and made us feel completely at ease with his expertise and knowledge of the market. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone who is either thinking about or is ready to sell their home. He and Darlina made this stress-free and we received the outcome that we were expecting.
Very easy to work with Jim and his team. From the very beginning he was open and honest and helped us with each step along the way. He always answered the phone and answered all the questions we had.
Jim was great to work with!! Very personable. His staff held open houses & he did additional marketing to get the word out. He kept us informed throughout the process. He contacted folks that viewed the home and provided us feedback. His assistant also facilitated all details and documents from the contract to the offer to the closing!
We have had the experience of moving 9 times. Having dealt with a variety of both offices and agents and our experiences have been varied to say the least. But out of all of these moves this is the first time I've felt a review was really justified. We just sold our home and had the privilege of knowing and working with both Jim Fussell and The Fussell Group. A comment that Jim made at our first meeting was I'll stay with you through this whole process till the end. He under promised and over delivered on EVERYTHING he said. I give both Jim Fussell, Darlina Rose and the entire Fussell Group the highest recommendation possible of any realtor who has helped us in the past.
