What you might want to know, and what I believe about, living in, and buying or selling real estate in the Greater Kansas City Area.

Kansas City is one of the best kept secrets (just ask my friends in New York and San Francisco).
The life-style we have in KC is a blessing, where we can afford more home, earlier in life than you can on either coast, and the quality of life here is substancial.

Owning your own home gives you peace of mind, financial stability, and a creative outlet.
Helping people discover what they like and don't like in a home is fascinating, rewarding, and an adventure.

Collaborating with sellers to market their home is a partnership.
My clients have the right to have all the information necessary to gain the best advantage, and they will get my full attention.

Originally from California, I came to Kansas City via Denver, and I have lived and worked in Overland Park and Kansas City for just over 21 years. I came here "kicking and screaming" for a career relocation.And… I fell in-love with all the wonderful neighborhoods, the arts and culture community and the mid-west lifestyle.

As a former Sales and Marketing leader for several national Fortune 250 corporations, I understand the demands placed on my clients' time. That's why when I first meet with potential clients; I am focused on helping them as efficiently as possible. By seeking to understand what their objective is in buying, selling, or both - we can then create a plan of action to best achieve the goal. Once we have a common understanding, I then go to work to meet their expectations.

What I love most about selling real estate is being able to combine my passion for architecture and interior design, while working one-on-one with people. There is no greater satisfaction than helping clients really get what they want or need.

What my clients say about working with me:
I enjoyed working with the K_B team (Heather Bortnick and Veronica Jaster). They were so professional and worked so hard to get my house sold in a timely matter. In this tough market that is a tall order. Everything they promised they would do they did, and when the offer came in they made the deal happen.

Laura Greenbaum, Mission Hills

Veronica Jaster is an asset to the Koehler-Bortnick Team. Veronica is an agent who adds not only professionalism but also a personal touch. She goes the extra mile and is willing to drop whatever she is doing to either show us a potential house or provide us with suggestions on how to sell our home. She is truly a major part of why Koehler-Bortnick is #1 in KC.

The Andersons in Shawnee

We had been considering selling our house for awhile, and we were ready to move-up. After meeting Veronica (A Koehler|Bortnick Agent) at an Open House, she helped us understand the value of our home, the advantages of listing with the KB team today, and how moving-up NOW would pay off for our family.

Veronica helped us understand the urgency of taking action in today's real estate market, and we're moving into our new home and looking forward to raising our family in a new neighborhood. We're very happy!

The Crouch Family, Overland Park

The experience of buying my first home with Veronica was excellent. Since I was buying my home by myself, it was important to find a realtor that I could trust. Veronica took the time to answer all my questions in a timely manner and was with me every step of the way. I appreciated her honesty and support through this process and recommend her to all my friends and family.

Kendra Varns, Brookside

Veronica was genuine and sincere in listening to our needs. She worked diligently which resulted in the sale of our home in a tough market.

Laura and Jay Muehlbach, Armour Hills

If we were to move again we would use the Koehler|Bortnick Team without hesitation, specifically asking for Veronica Jaster as our agent. It was clear Veronica cared about our best interest and was beyond responsive. She started out the process as our agent and ended as our friend.  We were
definitely not the most expensive listing, but we know we received the same level of personal attention.  Our home sold in three days in a frustrating market, proving we made the right decision!

Dan and Brenda Kumm Family, Armour Hills & Sunset Hill

When it came time for us to sell our house, we turned to Veronica. She was determined to get our house sold and willing to go the extra mile to help us find our next home.

She was able to get our house sold in a time frame that worked well for us.

Then when the time came to search for our next house, she worked with us on what we wanted in the next house. She was able to show us a wide range of homes that fit some part of our criteria. In the end she found a house we fell in love with from the get go. And, we got the house we were looking for.

I would recommend Veronica to anyone I knew wanting to sell or buy a home. She works hard to help you achieve your goals

Patrick and Suzann Lynch, Prairie Village & Overland Park, KS

Veronica was persistent in working with us through a pretty long negotiation, and throughout she offered good advice and was a pleasure to work with.
