Went and looked at over 10 different houses over two different weekends. Jack had a good eye for picking out things that I liked and didn't like. He has an in-depth knowledge of the local area around Liberty, MO. The purchase process was streamlined and Jack made it easy by handling things through e-mail/phone. I'd recommend Jack for a home buyer agent any time.

From the beginning, I could tell that Jack's main goal was what was in my best interest. Never once did he "try to sell" me a house. He worked extremely hard to find a home that fit my tough demands. When he did find my first house, I was in Germany and had to communicate with him via email, dealing with time changes and limited access to the internet. I returned a week later and Jack had already set up a showing for when I got back. After I placed my offer, Jack was informed that there was another offer on the house and that both parties should make their best offer. I had the higher offer and the rest is history. I really felt like Jack had my best interest at hand during the entire process. Not only was Jack very professional and knowledgeable from start to finish but everyone I dealt with in their office did an amazing job. I appreciate everything they did to get me into my first home and would recommend them to any and everyone buying, selling or looking to rent. Less

We listed our house with Jack because we wanted someone with local expertise and a full time commitment to the real estate market. Jack met and exceeded our expectations. He is a consummate professional. He presented us with a well researched listing price, had professional photos done to enhance our listing, and gave some positive suggestions to enhance our property. Our house sold in five weeks, which included being on the market for most of December!
In our search for another home, Jack was consistently responsive to showing us listings we requested viewing as well as offering additional (no pressure) suggestions. When we found what we wanted Jack supported us through negotiations and was willing to do what it took to close the deal. If you are looking for a home in the Kansas City Northland, you can do no better than choosing Jack Burns as your realtor. Less

Jack was great, we found our first house after looking for only a few weeks!
He negotiated for us which made everything alot easier and we got the house for almost $10,000 cheaper than the listing price!
Overall a great experience!
Highly recommended.

Jack spent many hours trying to help find us a home. He always went out of his way even on a Saturday/Sunday and evenings to show us around various neighborhoods. I will definitely use him and his expertise in the future. The entire process was so smooth. If you are looking for a home/selling your home, Jack Burns is your one and only person to talk to THANK YOU JACK!!!

We were moving from out of town and Jack was most helpful in meeting our times for home viewing and then taking care of inspections etc while we were out of town. Great asset for the northland search.

Jack contacted me after I wanted to look at a house he was listing. He was very responsive and helpful even before I agreed to use his services. I am a recent widow with a young child and Jack was very understanding to take his time to show me houses. He is very informative and knew the city very well. I really appreciated his service.

Jack helped me move into my first home in 2009. He's super easy to get along with, non-pressuring, and always ready to help. Just recently I've listed my home with Jack and we're investigating what homes I might be able to step up to. He makes the home buying & selling process stress free and fun.

Working with Jack was a great experience. We were new to the area and didn't really understand the trends of the market around the Liberty, MO region. He helped advise us on what neighborhoods best met our expectations and which houses were priced fairly. Jack would meet us on a Sunday to show houses even with less than an hour notice. He's amazing...he even worked around a family gathering to show us three houses even though we said we could wait until the next day. He also negotiated on a house in one of Liberty's premier neighborhoods that included a basement completion near the seller's asking price...he basically got us 25K worth of upgrades for free!!!! If anyone is looking for a very knowledgeable agent that will work around your schedule and will make sure you get the exact house you want, GO WITH JACK!!! Less

We were referred by a friend of ours that Jack Burns was a good realtor. My wife called him on Friday to discuss what we were looking for and to gain additional information for buying a home as we are first time buyers. Mr. Burns was responsive and able to set up an appointment the next day in which he showed us four houses at our price range and meeting our criteria. As we walked through the houses, Mr. Burns pointed out several items to consider when buying a home. We were very impressed with our first appointment with Mr. Burns and will continue using him as our realtor during our home buying process. Less

Jack was great! We started out looking all over the metro area and he never complained about how many houses we saw, how far away each of them were, and he was always available to meet and show us a house. We eventually narrowed down our desired location to which Jack showed us numerous houses in our price range and area. He was always honest with what he thought of the home and what we should offer. Jack knows the business very well and has great contacts too. My parents used him as their realtor many years ago so when my husband and I were looking for a home we knew who we wanted helping us!

Jack was the consumate professional during all our dealings with him and his team. All initial contact was via telephone and email as we came in from out of state. We went through realestate listings to give him an idea of what type of home we were looking for. He made sure that all the ones we wanted to see were available for showing, and even added on a few more that had just become available. The weekend we were in Kansas city, he had everything lined up for viewing. We saw all the houses we had choosen, pluse a few Jack added, and actually ended up liking one of his additions best. The remainder of the buying process, including inspection and correction of issues was handeled by Jack, something which would have been very difficault for us since we were out of sate. The entire process was extremly smooth, a testament to the professionalism and attention to detail that Jack and his team demonstrated. Should we need a realestate agent in the future, Jack will be the one we will contact. What else can we say? Less

Jack was there for us the whole time! We had a very short amount of time to find a house and when no other realtor would step up and give us their time...he did. In one day; he managed to show us several houses all within our price, wants and needs and ended up selling us a property! If you want excellence, knowledge and a truely wonderful/helpful agent - go with Jack!

Jack Burns was highly recommended to us by one of my co-workers. We wanted a realtor that was based in the Northland/Liberty area in which we were looking for a house and who knew all the details of the area. We really lucked out with Jack. He is full of knowledge about the Northland/Liberty area as he has lived there for most of his life. He has a enjoyable laid back yet professional personality which we like, and a ?no-pressure? style. Jack patiently helped us look for over 8 months to find the perfect home. We were looking for something a little different than the ?norm? and Jack helped us find it. He always returned calls and emails right away. It?s obvious that he truly enjoys his job and showing his clients potential homes. He also has a wonderful assistant who helped us throughout the searching and buying process when Jack was with other clients. Jack?s personality and sense of humor is what really made our experience with him enjoyable and productive. He is very flexible, fun, and easy to work with. We would use him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor. Less

Jack came recommended to me by my daughter. He had previously helped her buy and/or sell four houses, and he had helped my son with two. I sold a home out of state and needed to find a home in the Liberty area quickly, and Jack's knowledge of the area was invaluable. We found a home on the first day! Jack was always quick to answer the phone or return calls, and throughout the buying process he was very thorough with the details. We were dealing with a difficult builder and Jack was a great negotiator, which made me feel like he had my best interests in mind. I am happy with the help he provided me, and would highly recommend him for any real estate transaction. Less

Jack has been great!!! Jack helped me originally purchase my home. Since this time my family has out-grown our home, so it was time to move on. I immediately called Jack for his assistance. He met with us within a day of the call and our home was on the market quickly and smoothly. Jack did an excellent job of keeping us up to date through email, text, and phone calls. He returned calls promptly even answering over the July 4th holiday weekend. Jack was more than helpful and generous in helping us sell our home. We've recently suffered some negative financial impact due family medical issues and were considering pulling our home off the market. Jack helped us stay positive and when an offer came in, he cut his commission $1800, negotiated cheaper closing costs, and kicked in additional funds to the buyer just to see the deal complete. We are now on our way to the next point in our lives. I thank Jack and his great staff. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a down-to-earth, customer focused and fair realtor. Less

Jack was slow to return calls, emails, and text messages-- sometimes never responding at all. His lack of expertise cost us an additional $1,200 at closing. During the negotiation process Jack gave little if any advice. Closing was unorganized but successful, mostly because his assitant the the title company representative were very organized and professional. Jack didn't even call to thank us for our business after the transaction. One the bright side our home did sell and we're able to move on. Less

Jack marketed and sold our house in one of the toughest real estate markets in decades. He's one of the hardest working Realtors we've ever worked with - dedicated to his profession and his clients. Not only did he sell our existing home, he helped us with the purchase of our new home. We've recommended his to other people and he's successfully handled their transactions as well. Remarkable agent - you won't be dissatisfied.

We would highly recommend this realtor (Jack) for all of your Real Estate
needs. My husband transferred to the area one year before we sold our old
home, and Jack worked diligently and efficiently to assist us in our home
search. He exceeded the expectations we have experienced with previous realtors and really paid attention to the needs that we required in our new home. He actually truly
cared about what was needed for our family and made us feel that we were part of
his family. That meant more than anything to us. Unfortunately, our house
sold and there was not enough time to acquire a house and close in the time
frame that was required so we are currently renting but plan to recommend and
use Jack again when we go to buy a house in the near future. We would not use
anyone else! Less
