At Wardell & Holmes Real Estate, we are a Kansas City-based, full-service brokerage built on the philosophy that every client is an investor—whether they’re buying their first home, expanding a rental portfolio, or developing a multi-unit project.

With a footprint that spans local, national, and international markets, our brokerage specializes in helping clients identify high-performing assets, unlock long-term value, and navigate complex transactions with confidence. From 40-unit apartment complexes and commercial properties to single-family homes and off-market deals, we provide tailored strategies that drive results.

Our team brings together over 200 years of combined real estate experience, with deep expertise in residential and commercial sales, leasing, and project management. While our roots are firmly planted in Kansas City, our team’s diverse backgrounds—from coast to coast and abroad—enable us to offer global insights with a hyperlocal edge. This gives us a unique advantage in guiding investors through multifamily acquisitions, mixed-use developments, luxury homes, and international real estate opportunities.

At Wardell & Holmes, we’re known for our unmatched professionalism, accuracy, and integrity. We believe in long-term relationships, not one-time transactions. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned investor, our commitment to strategic guidance, transparent communication, and exceptional service remains the same—every time.

What Our Clients Are Saying

JASMINE LIM

As first time homebuyers, we put a lot of trust into Sierra and she pulled through with her excellent professionalism, expertise, and she was overall such a great realtor to work with. We couldn't have been happier buying our first home with Sierra; anytime there was a house we wanted to see, she'd get us scheduled in quickly and never hesitated when we reached out after-hours or on weekends. We fully recommend her to anyone looking to buy a house and we're lucky to have had someone like Sierra to help us buy our first dream home!

AMBER SMITH

I’ve known Katie Christianson for several years. She made this experience easy and comfortable. I’ve never bought a house before and she explained everything to me and always allowed me to message her with random questions. She was truly the best!

MCKAYLA HORTON

Awesome person to work with! We have been trying to buy a fixer upper home for half of the year and Sierra never stopped working hard to find us what we were looking for. She answered our texts and phone calls no matter what time of day it was. She knows the area well and can tell you which ones to look in and which ones to stay away from. She even created a portal for us that automatically sent us homes for sale and on auction that matched our preferences. Super knowledgeable, friendly, and client-centered! I would definitely work with her again.

BARRY BAKER

Andrea was absolutely great to work with during my home buying process. As a first time home buyer she was very helpful, and very responsive, in guiding me along the way. She treated me like a friend throughout the process, and at the same time was a top notch professional when it mattered most. Andrea was my agent when I purchased my first property back in 2014 and I have continued to pursue investment opportunities with her as my representative ever since. I am currently working with Wardell & Holmes securing an additional property and my experiences with Andrea continue to exceed expectations. She is responsive, precise, and straightforward in her communications. I feel like I am getting the honesty of a friend combined with an invaluable real estate acumen. I would definitely recommend Andrea to others and would use her services again without a doubt
