The Taylor-Made Real Estate
TESTIMONIALS
In searching for a realtor to help us sell our home, we knew we wanted someone who was an expert in the market, data driven, friendly, and down to earth. Basically, someone who could help us sell our house for top dollar quickly, without unnecessary hassle or stress.
We are so thankful that we found Chad and the Taylor Made Team! After reading the positive reviews, reading his real estate blog, and watching him explain his process on a YouTube interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk14pVsA27Y), we felt hopeful that we had found our person.
Even though we had high expectations, the Taylor Made Team blew us away with their knowledge, professionalism, and streamlined process. We were never left wondering what to expect or what was next. Every time we got off the phone with Chad, my wife would sigh with relief how glad she was that he was our realtor. We felt 100% confident that we were in the best hands.
Chad and his team used every strategy in the book to make sure our home was marketed and presented in the best way possible, so that we could sell it quickly and for top dollar (which we did). After just 3 days on the market, we had more than 10 offers, which was more interest than we ever dreamed of. Needless to say, it was a crazy intense few days, but Chad and his team handled the influx of offers and communication with other agents (what seemed like) effortlessly. During negotiations, Chad offered sound advice and came up with genius solutions when any kinks came up along the way. It meant a lot to us that Chad was unwaveringly committed to interacting with us and, equally importantly, the other parties involved, in an honest and above the board way.
The other members of the Taylor Made Team were equally professional, friendly, and knowledgable. They seamlessly handled the entire process from scheduling folks like the staging consultant and photographer to working with the other agent and title company to make sure that closing went off without a hitch (it did). We ended up closing on our house just five weeks from the date we first got in touch with Chad, for a price that far exceeded what we had hoped for.
All in all, we couldn't have been more happy with the Taylor Made Team and enthusiastically recommend them to anyone looking for help selling their home!

We were referred to the Taylor Made team by a friend who recommended them highly and we were blown away by the whole experience. Leah, Chad, and the whole team made us feel at ease and confident throughout the process of selling and buying at the same time. Having a coordinated team guide us through both transactions was amazing. Selling our house quickly at asking price and buying a new home with everything we wanted - and closing on both on the same day(!) - was beyond our expectations going into the whole process. Chad really understands the market and what it takes to maximize the value of your home. He was honest and down-to-business, which we really appreciated. Leah was able to understand what we were looking for in our new home and made sure we got it. She has a great eye and was always willing to provide an honest assessment of a house. We knew that she really cared about finding us a house we loved. Communication throughout the process was great. The team was in contact with us frequently, so we always knew where we stood and what the next steps were. The whole process, from staging to photos to final closings, was so streamlined and efficient, we felt like we were able to focus on the things that were really important during this time. The Taylor Made Team got us into a house that will be a wonderful home for our family for many years and we loved working with them. We can't recommend them enough!

Leah Taylor is absolutely wonderful to work with, and we so appreciate all of the time and effort that she put in to help us find the perfect home for us! She has an eye for style and great character in a home, and she was always spot on with the homes that she selected for us to see! She really listened to what we wanted and helped us to find exactly that! My husband and I would recommend The Taylor-Made Team to anyone and everyone!
Ellie, Prairie Village
Leah was amazing! She found the perfect house right away and was so great to work with. She always got back to me quickly and was phenomenal in negotiating. The seller was a bit of a pain in negotiations, but Leah and The Taylor-Made Team made it go as smoothly as possible. 10/10

We had heard of Chad and Leah Taylor and the Taylor-Made Team (via Shawnee Mission Post column, yard-signs etc.) prior to receiving a direct mail piece. From the very beginning, every phone call, email, face-to-face meeting, literally every interaction with this team was positive, supportive, informative, and served as positive reinforcement of the good decision to work with them regarding the sale of our home. Literally every single member of the Taylor-Made Team was a valuable part of this working relationship - from the extremely detailed (and, as it turned out extremely accurate) initial marketplace pricing assessment to the scheduling and signing of documents, to the pre-sale recommendations and activities, to the care in installing the yard signs and providing brochures and shoe-covers, to the supervision of showings, to the reporting of multiple offers on the very first day on market, all the way to the final closing document process - every single one of them made the whole experience as simple, relaxed, and enjoyable it could possibly be. It was such a pleasure to have the Taylor-Made Team on our team! I will enthusiastically recommend the Taylor-Made team to any family, neighbors, or colleagues considering selling/buying a home! Thank you Chad, Leah, Kyla, DT and the rest of the Taylor-Made Team! We don't plan to move again soon... but if we do, you're the first and only call we'll make!

My broker was Leah Taylor through Taylor-Made team. When I was referred to Leah by a friend, I contacted her and got a response immediately. (Reason #1 why I chose Taylor-Made was response time). #2 instead of communicating via email extensively, she quickly setup a time to talk on the phone #3 she was down to earth, communicative, and asked a lot of questions #4 she didn't just setup filters for listings and let the site do her work for her, she looked through the options and specifically notified me about ones she had reviewed and thought would be a good fit for me based off our conversations #5 she outlined from start to finish the entire process and what to expect which I had never had before and I really appreciated, she also gave estimates of what costs to expect along the way #6 she never once ignored a text/call/email from me which showed she was serious about my timeline and making me happy (even the silly questions that I probably should have googled!) #7 she always acted in my best interest and I knew from the start we were on the same team, she was also very clear that she was sticking with me regardless of whether we found the perfect house next week or next year so I didn't feel pressured into closing on anything I wasn't positive about #8 Leah made my house hunt turn from stressful/scary to fun and exciting and it was a team effort as opposed to when i previously felt like I was working alone.

There is no way we could have had a better selling or purchasing experience. Chad had our starter/old house on the market about a month after deciding we were ready to sell... it sold the very first weekend. He does his research and can get you the best going rate for your house. Also, he is probably the best dressed man in Kansas City. Leah helped us buy our home! We have a toddler and Leah helped us find, and subsequently buy, the best backyard for our family. When it came time for negotiations she worked her tail off to get us everything we needed. Then there is Kyla, the office manager who knew EVERY DETAIL of both the sell of the old house and the purchase of the new house. She contacted third party contractors and answered all of my sophomoric questions. The Taylor Made Team is a one that I will happily recommend to any person. Our family isn't planning on moving again for quite a long time, but, it's nice to know if our needs change, we'll have the Taylor-Made Team on our side.
Ben & Megan, Shawnee
Taylor-Made is the best!!! Chad Taylor & his team of professionals made the sale of my home an amazingly simple success story. There is nothing to fear - they are in constant contact, guiding you throughout the process. Follow their directions & you too will have a positive experience with selling your home!
Susan, Prairie Village
Kyla with the Taylor-Made team was so helpful throughout our first home buying experience. She took extra time to make sure we understood everything along the way. When it can’t time to negotiate things she knew how to challenge the sellers respectfully while keeping our needs in mind. The Taylor-Made team has a family feel and you’re not just a client, but a top priority. Highly recommend them for your home-buying experience.
Karie, KCMO
The Taylor-Made Team is a shining star at the top of the Keller Williams Realty Key Partners Crown. At every point of the process, from looking for properties to closing and taking possession, the Taylor-Made Team was there exactly the way I needed them to be at exactly the right time. Leah is probably the best agent I've ever worked with and that high standard of personalized professionalism manifested in every single person I dealt with on her team. This might have been the best home buying experience of my life, and I've bought my fair share of homes and properties.
Barbara, Overland Park
Leah Taylor was amazing to work with, she clearly knew a lot about the areas we were looking in and also just general information about the condition of homes, resale values, and a the whole home buying processes. This information that she gave us was so helpful for us as first time home buyers. It was very easy to talk to Leah Taylor, she was so friendly and seems to really care about connecting with clients. The whole team was very knowledgeable and friendly. We really enjoyed working with all of them!
Taylor, KCK
It was a very easy process and my home went fast and over asking price. My getting the house ready for sell was the work, selling it was a piece of cake. This group knows how to get things done. The suggestions the stagger makes, does make a difference in the appearance of the home. I was amazed when I followed her suggestions, how much the front room appearance improved. I hated the coming soon sign, but have no doubt that helped to get action on the house. It did sell fast and didn't have to deal with lots of traffic going through the house.
Debra, KCMO
Leah immediately feels like your best friend. She introduced us to some neighbors she worked with previously and stayed in touch. Leah and Chad do a great job of creating a sense of community amongst their clients with the events they hold.
Jeffrey, KCMO
"Chad and Kyla went above and beyond all my expectations! They were very helpful and made a stressful time much better! I can't say enough good things about this experience."
Jean, Olathe
"This was much easier than I thought and this team made it possible. Thank You!"
Christine, Prairie Village
"We really can't say enough about Chad. He knows his stuff and is really good at what he does. We've worked with him twice and each time thrilled with his vibe, knowledge, planning and honesty. He gets the job done and with great quality. Big fans.
Anastasia, Bonner Springs
"Chad, Leah & team - I know I’ve verbally expressed my appreciation for you, but sometimes words seem inadequate. Please know my appreciation comes from the heart. You took great care of me, and I’m beyond grateful. It’s been so great to have you involved in my life- I’m so happy with all that has happened with my “moving forward“."
Maureen, KCMO
"The Taylor Made team is exceptional at what they do. Their knowledge of the market and preparation in selling our house was the big reason we had multiple offers the first day on the market. Chad and his team are dedicated to excellence and providing results to exceed your expectations."
The Martins, KCMO
"The Taylor Made Team kept me up to date, let me know what to expect and walked me through the house selling process seamlessly. Thank you for your professionalism and guidance!"
Haylie, KCMO
"Chad was amazing to work with! I was selling my home during a time my work schedule was out of control. Chad was able to schedule cleaning, roof estimates and basement repair options. I was very thankful to have options presented to me and be able to make quick decisions. Chad is very direct and efficient. I will recommend Taylor Made to anyone one looking to buy or sell a home."
Amber Wilson
We absolutely loved our experience working with Leah Taylor. We were first-time home buyers, and wanted a hands-on experience with our agent. Some complications arose with the house during inspections and following closing, and we were incredibly grateful to have someone with Leah's wisdom and guidance walking along that journey with us. You truly can't put a price on the connections she has with various service providers and her vast amount of knowledge.
Megan, Shawnee
"The team was so great to keep us up to speed on everything that was happening with our property. We were selling this house from out of town and we are so appreciative of all their help so that we didn't have to make a trip back to KC. They went above and beyond on getting this property sold."
Toi & Bryce Kuhn, Kansas City
"This is the fourth rental property in Prairie Village Chad Taylor has sold for us. I highly recommend him. He is organized, efficient and great to work with. The house sold the day after it was listed! Chad and his team are terrific. I appreciate their professionalism, helpfulness and experience."
Beverly Ross, Prairie Village, KS
"We went back to Chad because he had sold us our house and we knew his knowledge of Prairie Village is unmatched. However, we were incredibly impressed with the sales process. The team is a well-oiled machine! The process was streamlined and covered aspects we wouldn't have thought of ourselves. There was so much interest in our house that by the time it went live that it sold to the first person who saw it (but had multiple offers)! If we ever move again, we will definitely be using The Taylor Made team to sell our home."
Tiffany K., Prairie Village, KS
"All members of the team are very professional and helpful, and the entire process is very smooth and consumer friendly. Communication was always available and made the process very comfortable and positive. From start to finish the TaylorMade team will provide you outstanding service which will result in an outstanding experience in selling or buying."
Mary Knowles, Overland Park, KS
"Simply put this team is amazing at what they do! It's nice to have a team like the "Taylor Made Team" in your corner. The team dynamic that they have going on is really amazing. Each person knows exactly what to do and when to do it. Chad Taylor's "vision" of the area in my opinion is what makes them so successful! He knows the market like the back of his hand. It's really important to feel comfortable with someone that you trust has your best interest at heart and he does! I would highly recommend the "Taylor Made Team" to any of my colleagues or family members. Honestly, I feel like they are a part of my family now and know that I could call on any of them. I think that really makes the difference in the end. I'm a little sad that the experience is almost over as I looked forward to working with them daily for a couple of weeks. Thanks go out to each member that I worked with! Chad, Leah, Kyla and I'm sure there are more that I don't even know about. You ALL make a big difference in the families you touch daily. Don't ever stop what you guys are doing, the charm and feel of your office is top notch!"
The Gaffords, Prairie Village, KS
"Chad Taylor and his team made selling our mother's house very painless. The patience and accessibility of each team member we dealt with was a comfort during what could have been a difficult time. They sold the house very quickly and for a price above the listing price. We have used Chad Taylor and his team before with similar results and would definitely use them again."
Candace Johns, Leawood, KS
"The Taylor Made Team took care of us throughout the sales process. Chad, Leah, and the rest of the team provided great local knowledge, an effective marketing plan, and step-by-step communication. Our family appreciated the friendly, professional, and honest approach the Taylor Made Team took to our move to a larger home. We could not be more pleased with the experience and would recommend them to anyone looking in the area."
Vic Doane, Prairie Village, KS
"My husband and I were what Chad and Leah called "location buyers". We love Prairie Village and wanted to stay here. They had a very small area that fit within our budget. We loved how they were completely supportive of our desire to stay in the area and never pushed us to look elsewhere. Their expertise and knowledge of the area helped us sell our house very quickly and find our forever home shortly after. We loved working with every member of the Taylor Made Team. They felt completely invested in our family and genuinely wanted the best for us. We would highly recommend this group to anyone looking to buy and/or sell!"
Rachel Wymore, Prairie Village, KS
"Chad Taylor was very responsive and customer service oriented. I was dealing with two other real estate agents, but Chad clearly was the most professional and knowledgeable. Shortly after meeting Chad, he asked me who the other real estate agents were and offered to provide me with data related to their services and how they compared to the Taylor Made Team. Chad came back to me with a detailed spreadsheet listing out the "average days a listing was on the market" and his team's ranking against other agents in the area. Chad and his team were clearly ahead of the other agents that I was working with and they are also one of the top, if not the top, agents along the state-line corridor area. The experience with the Taylor Made Team was excellent from start to finish. They sold my home in less than 36 hours and I had 7 offers and ended up with an offer over ask. I couldn't be more pleased and recommend them without any reservations."
Lynn Badura, formerly of KCMO (now residing in Phoenix, AZ)
"The Taylor Made Team turned the daunting and overwhelming task of selling our home into a pleasant and profitable experience. We are excited to move on to our next adventure and give the buyers an opportunity to enjoy a property that has meant so much to us."
Jeff Knox, Prairie Village, KS
"I wanted to sell my house as-is, although I did a pre-listing inspection and cleaning. The Taylor Made Team understood the market and the reason for my desire to sell it as-is for a price that seemed higher than what was in current market. Chad explained that if there was competition for my house in the market, the market would determine the right price. The house indeed did sell for more than the listing price, and his guidance through the marketing process was very helpful. If you want a laid-back easy-going agent, Chad Taylor may not be the agent for you. Although he is polite and respectful he is an aggressive selling agent. If you want to move along and get the sale done without playing games or dilly-dallying, then this is the agent and team for you. They did a great job for me."
Louise Davis, Prairie Village, KS
"The Taylor Made Team provided the best home purchasing experience we've ever had. They came highly recommended and exceeded all of our expectations. We even recommended them to our parents, and within days they bought a perfect home just like we did. Truly the best in KC!"
Sean Hughes, Prairie Village, KS
"The Taylor Made Team went far above and beyond what I would expect from a "sales agent" during the sale of our PV home. Chad has assembled a competent and communicative team that came alongside us SO wholeheartedly that we were actually amazed. Sans all the details -our sale ended up involving a classic Giant Glitch that was handled with grace, excellence and perseverance by Rebecca, saving us from many many hours of research and phone calls and stress. As I said - amazing to find this level of service today. Bottom line speaks for itself -- We were SO satisfied and pleased with our experience with Chad and Rebecca that we are proactively recommending them to everyone we know."
Ted & Suzanne, Prairie Village, KS
"Knowledge of the area realty market is top notch. We had curves thrown us during the process, but the team helped us overcome them."
Richard & Jeanette Schneider, Overland Park, KS
"The Taylor Made team is exceptional at what they do. Their knowledge of the market and preparation in selling our house was the big reason we had multiple offers the first day on the market. Chad and his team are dedicated to excellence and providing results to exceed your expectations."
