Trevor did a great job helping us get into our new house. He’s very professional, knows what he’s doing, and really pays attention to the details. His communication was excellent throughout the whole process, and he went above and beyond to help make the deal work for us. Buying a house can be stressful, but it was clear that Trevor knew his stuff and had our best interests in mind. We really appreciated working with him and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor.

Lauryn with Charboneau Lorance was AMAZING when we bought our house. I always assumed buying a house was going to be like buying a car: a lot of headache, difficult people, stressful, and dragging on for hours. Lauryn made our experience the exact opposite. She was very communicative, responsive, and made everything on our part incredibly easy. I had no headache or stress when buying a house. We've recommended her to all of our family and friends. Cannot say enough great things about Lauryn and the entire Charboneau Lorance group!!

Buyer FAQ

Do I need to be pre-approved before touring homes?

It's strongly recommended. Sellers expect it with an offer, and it tells you your real budget. We can connect you with a lender we trust, and you're always free to choose your own.

How do buyers pay for an agent in Missouri and Kansas?

You'll sign a written buyer agreement that spells out our services and compensation before we tour. Sometimes a seller offers to cover some or all of it; we'll explain your options up front.

Who will show me homes?

Your own agent. Every agent on our team shows homes, so you work with the same person from your first tour to your offer, with the rest of the team behind them.
