Why We Started KC Family Home Team
After years working in traditional real estate, our founder Ernesto Piekus noticed a troubling pattern: families were being treated as just another transaction. The personal touch was missing, and many families felt lost in the process.
In 2009, KC Family Home Team was born with a simple premise - what if we treated every client like family? What if we built a team of specialists instead of trying to do everything alone? What if we measured success not by transactions, but by happy families?
Today, that vision has helped over 500 families find their perfect homes. But we're just getting started. Every day, we wake up with the same passion and dedication to serve Kansas City families with the care they deserve.
