Kirk Short's Wichita Home Team Lenders
Ask A Mortgage Question
About
After a long career in the military and working as a VA social worker, Rick began his career in the mortgage industry in 2021. He knew he could help more people while still maintaining flexibility for his own family. Throughout the mortgage process, he likes to make sure his clients have a clear path to follow so they never feel scared or uncomfortable. He understands that everyone’s situation is different, so he does the work to find a program that works for his borrowers. As a Veteran himself, Rick enjoys working with other servicemembers and the VA loan program. He knows firsthand the sacrifices that those who serve make for our country, so he wants to help them as much as he can.
When he’s not working, Rick enjoys spending time with his family. His wife is also a Guild Mortgage lender, so they get the joy of being able to work together. If he’s not in the office, you can find Rick in the backyard barbecuing or watching football. He also helps out with Boy Scouts of America and is a member of several Veterans groups.

Good vibes from listing to closing
We contacted Kirk and the Home Team through the Real Estate Agents I Trust organization. From our very first meeting I had great confidence in Kirk he and his team made the process easy and enjoyable. We had a couple of very minor communication things that we resolved effortlessly, which made the process even better. As we approached the closing Kirk and Sherri were very helpful in their guidance through the entire process. I always felt comfortable working with Kirk. Our property was older and was a bit of a fixer upper which was challenging as we worked through the process, but Kirk was steadfast and very level headed all the way through to the end. He had some contractors that were available to do the work with very short notice .. which was a blessing as I did not know where to even start looking. I would highly recommend Kirk and the Wichita Home Team and they will be at the top of my list for any future real estate needs. We are so happy in selecting Kirk as our realtor. Everything they did from the advertising and photography to making suggestions and giving advice in getting past roadblocks in the negotiation process was all top notch. We couldn't be happier with Kirk and the Wichita Home team.

Great communication, Always available!
Having Rachel as my agent was great. Her communication was excellent. She always made herself available in case I had questions, or needed a better explanation on certain things. Rachel was also very knowledgeable about the home buying process, and what to expect. Overall, I’m very satisfied with my experience, and glad I was able to get the home I wanted.

Rachel is amazing!!!
Rachel is very responsive, direct, and professional. As first-time homebuyers, she walked us through the whole process, answered all of our questions, and made sure all of our bases were covered. She is very knowledgable on common issues seen in homes based on location, market trends, and passes on knowledge on how to care for the home after purchase. She ensured we got a fair contract and never pushed us outside of our comfort zone when making an offer or negotiating. She was very considerate of outside factors affecting our purchase timeline and was patient and understanding when we needed to take a short break from our search. She is very courteous on when she offers her professional opinion and is very honest and direct if requested. We had a wonderful time working with Rachel and would highly recommend her!

Perfect navigator for first time homebuyers
Rachel was exceptionally helpful during the purchase of our first home! From the very beginning she set clear expectations regarding timeline, processes, and general costs. Rachel is very kind and she always took the time to make us feel important and heard. She took our requests into consideration when looking for homes to tour. As we toured properties, she pointed out different home features and what was common for the region & neighborhood we were shopping in. When it came time to put in an offer, she was able to guide us through the negotiations with the sellers. Rachel is very professional and helped secure a fair deal throughout the process. If you’re looking for a realtor who walks you through every step with empathy, knowledge, and a lot of laughs, look no further than Rachel!

Outstanding in every area
This is our second time asking Jennifer to help us buy a home. She really listened to find out what we were looking for, pointed out the shortcomings in properties that were deal breakers, was never pushy about a sale, and went out of her way to make sure everything closed on time. She was very responsive and available. 10/10 recommend her and will be calling her again if we have any real estate needs.

A hero! Saved us from a very bad situation and enabled us to sell our house quickly!
After working with another realtor who put us in a bad situation, Erica not only was able to come in and save the day but also gave us all the tools, insight and resources to get our house sold quickly and into our dream home. Erica is a phenomenal realtor who is passionate, driven and charismatic. She is one of the most driven people I’ve ever seen and knows her trade very well. I could not recommend her more!

Communication was clear and consistent, and I always felt supported along the way. I’m very grateful for her help and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home.

Best Realtor Hands Down
What wasn’t Erica great about??! Hands down would recommend her to every single person out there! Will always refer her and use her in the future! Honestly wouldn’t go to another one! She fought tooth and nail for us in all the ups and downs! She is always in such good spirits and a bright light in the dark!! She is extremely knowledgeable in what she does and knows many ins and outs that you would never think of! We couldn’t be more grateful for her! She is very honest and knows what was best for us even if at the time we didn’t think so. If you want someone who actually cares and doesn’t look at you like another dollar sign. She is 100000% your girl!!!! Anybody would be lucky to have her! :)

Amazing support, very resourceful, and excellent communication working with Erica!
Erica kept us up to date on the market while the house was being shown. She had excellent contacts to help us get the house ready for its next owners. Erica can think on her feet but is not afraid to lean on her team to make sure she’s doing everything possible to get the most out of the sale. Due to our discussions prior to placing the house on the market and after, Erica knew how to negotiate when the offers came in. She would always verify with us before truly making counteroffers, but she was always spot on making us feel heard and supported. I am so grateful to have connected with Erica. What could have been a major headache went as smooth as we could hope for. When the time comes to try again to purchase a house, we will be calling on Erica Rogers.

Zero hassel and full wall through guidance!
Shout-out to Ian Duran for making the selling process easy while I'm away for training. He helped guided and educated me through every little process. My house received an offer right after the showing. I would definitely recommend to anyone!

Working with Erica was a huge relief, she worked very hard so I didn’t have too
Erica was not just a realtor but an instant friend. She displayed an above and beyond level of professionalism, caring, and kindness. Erica’s in depth knowledge of the market is quite impressive. She is always able to answering every question that I have and if she does not immediately have an answer, she comes up with one rather quickly. Erica was incredibly patient with me as I did not know what I was looking for, but I knew that I would know it when I saw it and Erica stayed constantly vigilant, finding new places for me to look at every single week. I can not imagine having gone through this process without Erica. She made me feel like family.

Omar was eager to help us during our purchasing process, a great communicator and very knowledgable.
Omar's communication was great throughout our home purchasing process. We typically did not have to wait long for a response to any question we asked and he constantly checked up on us to make sure we didn't have any questions or problems. He was very knowledgable - especially considering how long he has been working in real estate. One key attribute was his candor with regard to questions to which he did not know the answer. He let us know that he did not know the answer and would find out what the answer was and get back to us - which he always did. Most importantly, that showed his commitment to providing accurate information. It also shows the quality of the team with which he works and the support/guidance they provide. We were very happy with Omar's assistance with understanding the Wichita/Andover housing market. He was very helpful in the negotiation and purchase process. We were quite impressed by Omar's professionalism as well.

Excellent communication and smooth process
Kirk and his team were quick to answer any questions we had as first time home sellers. The process as a whole went very smooth and communication was top notch the whole time. Highlights include Kirk coming over to the house to inspect the home for himself before listing, easy to work e-signing documents and getting an offer on the house in just a few days. I would recommend Kirk and his team to anyone especially military members like myself!

The Best Decision We Made During Our Home Purchase
Buying this home was the fourth home purchase of my life, and for every previous purchase, I chose not to use a real estate agent. After working with Kirk, I can honestly say I finally understand why people recommend having a great agent. Kirk was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. He was knowledgeable, patient, and an incredible guide through every step of the process. He helped us evaluate home values, navigate negotiations, understand the inspection process, and make informed decisions with confidence. Having someone with his experience advocating for us made the entire experience far less stressful. What impressed me most was that I never felt pressured. Instead, I felt educated, supported, and confident that Kirk genuinely had our best interests in mind. His communication was excellent, and he was always available when we had questions. If you’re wondering whether a great real estate agent makes a difference, I can tell you from experience, they absolutely do. Working with Kirk completely changed my perspective, and I wouldn’t buy another home without him. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and exceptional real estate professional.

Wonderful Experience
Rachel made buying my first home an amazing experience from start to finish. She was always responsive, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand. As a first-time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions, and she was incredibly patient throughout the entire process. Rachel helped me find the right home and negotiate a great deal. She was honest, professional, and always had my best interests in mind. I felt supported every step of the way and appreciated how proactive she was in keeping me informed and making sure everything stayed on schedule. Buying a home can be stressful, but Rachel made the process smooth and enjoyable. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, especially first-time homebuyers.

Strongly recommended
In the last year I have sold a home with Kirk Short, and bought another. In my life so far, this was the seventh time I've bought and sold a home and BY FAR the best experience! Kirk himself provided really good advice and was solidly in my corner in every way. He also has an efficient admin team that makes the process go smoothly, and was able to connect me with reliable contractors when I needed work done. Six stars out of five!

I have worked with them twice. Easy to work with and great customer service!
Thank you for all the hard work, persistence, and communication that went into getting our family to “yes” on our retirement home. This house represents the next chapter of our lives after 20 years of military service, and we sincerely appreciate everything you did to help make it possible. We know there was a lot of work happening behind the scenes, and we wanted the entire team to know that your efforts did not go unnoticed. With sincere appreciation, Brett and Rossette

Excellent in all categories
She was absolutely amazing in every step she walked us through. Erica also noticed when I was overwhelmed with the process and helped me feel better. We definitely have a new friend for life and will be recommending her to any and everyone that says they need a realtor. We couldn’t have got our home without her. Thank you Erica!

Excellent service when buying remotely!
Jennifer was very professional and did a great job helping us find and purchase a home from halfway across the country. Her home tours via FaceTime were great and she was able to add things that she saw (or smelled) that we would not have been able to pick up on otherwise via video.

Excellent and knowledgeable agent
This is the second time that we’ve used Jennifer - once for buying our first home and then selling our home. Both times she went above and beyond with communicating with us, laying out expectations and timelines, and making the entire process of buying / selling a home easy. There’s nobody I would recommend more than, Jennifer!

Omar Madi Bright Future as a Realtor
I believe Omar has bright future as relator. For a young man he was very professional and polished. Omar was flexible and ready to provide me times to look at homes multiple times a week. He was prompt and responsive communicator to my questions. The signed jersey by Chicago Bears HOF was nice touch. Area of suggested improvement: He has some better understanding of logistical with closing process, that was a bit confusing at the end and no water so house couldn't get deep cleaned. But overall it was a very easy and pleasant experience that landed me in great home for me. As he gains experience and grows in the nuance of his work I think the sky is the limit.

Erica was great. She has been a family friend for years and was very helpful on every question i had
She answered almost every phone call i had. If she couldnt answer the phone she would respond to a text message quickly. She helped have my seller pay for certain things. Whenever i wanted to do house viewings she was also avaliable on a holiday for a house tour. She made the process very simplistic i loved it.

Realistic, Chill and Timely
You can expect honest assessments, resourcefulness, a strong advocate and willingness to be adaptive to surprises. I would not have achieved my threshold and steady process to closing without their assistance. Thanks all for helping me sale my home!

Kirk and his team were fantastic.
Kirk was extremely knowledgeable of the market and the entire buying process. The Wichita Home Team were super responsive and helpful. Even when negotiations got difficult the whole team excelled at moving forward and getting the sale done. I would highly recommend them. Plus their contractors they work with were also great to work with.

Jennifer is Amazing
Jennifer was never pushy or forceful which we really appreciated. She knows her craft and she does such a good job with it. Being honest on if a house would be right for us or not and suggestions to make our sale stand out and pop. She also was supportive of our goals and not just aiming to make a sale or push a quota. I would highly recommend her to friends and family and will do so in the future. I wish her nothing but success and happiness in the years ahead. When we're ready to buy? You can bet cash money we will be going with Jennifer to buy our next home.

Knowledgeable and responsive alley on our homebuying journey.
Kirk and his team were always able to either answer my questions and concerns or get answers to them. We had a specific type of house we wanted to get into and Kirk gave a many suggestions and helped us find the one we finally ended up buying. He asked us good questions to investigate what was important to us and helped us align our goals and prioritize the facets which were most important to us.
