About Betsy
Having laid the cornerstone of her Realtor career in 2007, with a pursuit to build relationships among the greater community she values, Betsy O’Brien naturally gravitates toward creating authentic and personal connections with her clients. As such, her resulting referral-based growth and extensive network of resources has been the inevitable outcome of that.

Today Betsy is recognized as a top producer in the Kansas City metro area.

Betsy not only has an eye for the aesthetics of a space, with a particular obsession for decorative trim and beautiful carpentry, but she is also perceptive of the promise that lies ahead, helping you fill in the blanks with your life story.

And you’ll appreciate her unique gift to deliver tranquility for her clients. Betsy applies generous doses of reassurance, graced with a dash of humor, to ensure the entire process feels effortless to you. All the while, her wheels are spinning as she incessantly seeks the optimal balance of your must-haves.

Further, Betsy honors the emotions you feel along the way. She recognizes that her sellers are entrusting her with memories wrapped in walls and tree-lined streets, then similarly grants that her buyers are seeking to cultivate their very own legacy wherever they decide to settle.

She gets that your spot in this world establishes where the kids go to school, the grandkids build their forts, teens congregate at the pool on a sunny day, and neighbors gather for barbecue or to share a drink.

The soft points matter to her.

And she doesn’t sit. Betsy anchors herself in the neighborhoods that surround her extended family. She holds leadership positions with The Mission Project, Mission Hills Country Club, and Women of Visitation. She volunteers her time as a reading mentor with Lead to Read KC, as a coach for youth soccer, and is engaged with the Visitation Athletic Committee. Then, true to her own roots, which are as deep as they are wide, she has lived in the same neighborhood for over 20 years.

Betsy has a genuine openness to understanding your journey, and she looks forward to greeting you with her warmth and years of experience as your full-service Realtor in Kansas City.

"If you're looking for someone who will help you find a home, you need Betsy.
Betsy made finding a home seamless. She took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for, and became more like a parter than a realtor.
She's a wealth of knowledge when it comes to Kansas City real estate (and knows everyone). And more importantly, she is on your team. She is forthcoming and honest, and acted as a fiduciary even when she didn't have to. Working with Betsy is like having an advocate on the inside. She takes care of her people.
We are SO grateful to Betsy and what she made possible for us. If you get an opportunity to work with her, do it. You will be in good hands. She won't just find you a house, she'll find you a home.

"My husband and I have bought and sold many homes over the years, and our realtor experience with Betsy has by far been the best. She proved such an asset when we bought a house that several years later, we asked her to help us to sell that house and buy another. The fact that we did not hesitate to ask for Betsy’s assistance a second time is testimony to her honesty, good humor and full-service emphasis, not to mention her extraordinary patience and professionalism. You want Betsy in your corner during any real estate transaction." - Ginger and Ed

"Betsy had a history with my son and daughter in law. Once I met Betsy myself I was able to see immediately her professionalism and expertise. In addition she was a lovely genuine person. She understood my situation and found a perfect location and home for me. I have dealt with other agents but by far Betsy is the “cream of the crop”. Didn’t deal with anyone else What more can I say. A “100” across the board She took care of every need I had. My experience was with Betsy O’Brien. If I couldn’t get Betsy next time I would have to see how other employees responded before I could say I would go with this broker. Betsy O’Brien represented you well" - Yvonne

★★★★★
"I had asked a good friend of mine for Betsy's information and I'm so glad I did! Rather than just a business contact, she treated us like friends from the very start. She is straightforward and knowledgable and is willing to help make the somewhat stressful task of finding/selling a home much easier. We loved working with her and would encourage anyone to do the same. Amazing agent!" - Kelly

★★★★★
"Betsy O'Brien went above and beyond for us throughout our home buying process, she quickly began to understand what we liked and disliked as well as what was important to us and what we could compromise on so she could point us in the right direction and make suggestions. Betsy has outstanding knowledge of the entire Kansas City area, aspects of neighborhoods, demographics, school districts, cultures, etc. She was incredibly responsive and very communicative, and was always willing to go look at houses in a reasonable time frame. We fully trusted Betsy in her opinions, suggestions and the information she provided to us; she is truly an expert and one of the best in her field. Our home buying process could not have gone more smoothly, largely due to Betsy as our agent. We would recommend Betsy without hesitation to anyone buying or selling their home in the Kansas City area." - Bracey

★★★★★
"Betsy O'Brien is a class act! As a first time home buyer I could not have had a better experience with a realtor when it came to buying our first home. From the quick responses, to the weekend home visits to help buy our first home, we couldn't have asked for more. I would recommend Betsy to anyone buying their first or next home!" - Luke

★★★★★
"Betsy O'Brien couldn't have been any better as our agent! She was so patient with our search and always listened to our needs and concerns! She went out of her way to help with our move as well, even being present at the property to open it up for painters prior to the move in date (which included a 30+ minute drive each way for her)! We have recommended Betsy to all of our friends and family!" - Jon & Corbie
