IT STARTS WITH OUR STORY

ReeceNichols has a remarkable history, one with historical ties to the region dating back to 1905 with the formation of J.C. Nichols Real Estate and again in 1987 with the creation of the J.D. Reece Company. In 2001, these two iconic brands saw an opportunity to better serve the people of Missouri and Kansas and provide them with unparalleled stability and strength right at home. They joined forces, and Reece & Nichols became the undisputed market leader in Kansas City real estate.

This union also formed Reece & Nichols Alliance, a network of 34 franchised offices spread throughout Kansas and Missouri. This expanded Reece & Nichols' brand to Junction City, KS; Columbia, MO; St. Joseph, MO and the Lake of the Ozarks.

In 2014, Reece & Nichols took it a step further and removed the “&” from its name. As ReeceNichols, the name no longer conveys two companies but instead one united brand standing together as the leader in real estate.

In 2018, ReeceNichols merged with Carol Jones, REALTORS®, a fellow HomeServices of America affiliate in southern Missouri. By joining forces, ReeceNichols is now the largest local real estate company in both Missouri and Kansas.

At ReeceNichols, our goal is to go above and beyond to deliver an experience that is fulfilling for our customers. We realize our business is based on relationships and that every individual interaction makes a difference. Every member of the ReeceNichols team embodies the characteristics we believe foster those relationships: expertise, loyalty and motivation. Therefore, we provide a platform for success and the opportunity to motivate and emotionally connect with every person we serve.

So we crafted our brand story around our unique skillset, our motivations and our dedication to the people of Missouri and Kansas. Around the fact that we aren’t just selling four walls and a roof, but a place where people retreat from the world. That’s why ReeceNichols diligently works with the people they serve, to guide them to the life they always wanted. Because they’re people first and clients second.

ReeceNichols is all about rewarding lives — the lives of our agents, our employees and all the families who put their trust in our hands.
