For the past 25 years, I’ve had the privilege of owning and operating a successful salon and managing rental properties. Over the years, my passion for real estate has only deepened, and it became clear to me that real estate was the next exciting chapter in my professional journey.

​

I took the plunge and became licensed in 2016, and within just three weeks of obtaining my temporary permit, I closed my first transaction. That moment was a game-changer for me—it confirmed that becoming a real estate agent was hands down the best decision I’ve ever made!

​

In July of 2019, I had the honor of partnering with an incredible woman to form First City Property Group—your trusted real estate authority in both Kansas and Missouri. Together, we provide a personalized, client-focused experience, helping buyers and sellers navigate the real estate market with confidence.

​

When I'm not busy making your real estate dreams a reality, I’m living life with my amazing husband, whom I’ve been married to since 1999. We’re proud parents of three wonderful boys—Austin, Nathan, and Payton. As a family, we enjoy spending time together, whether it’s fishing, shopping, or simply curling up with a good book.

​

My motto is simple but powerful: “Don't panic, call VANEK!” Whether you’re buying or selling, I’ll guide you every step of the way with care and expertise. If you’re ready to make your next move, give me a call—I’m here to help you make it happen!
