About Mariana

As a founder and principal of KC Homes Group, my team and I are driven by a shared mission: to provide a truly all-encompassing concierge experience in Real Estate. We believe that exceptional service doesn’t begin and end with a signature on the dotted line. It's about a team of professionals who work together to serve our clients with integrity and dedication.

Originally from Argentina, I've had the privilege of living in England, Hawaii, Australia, and New York before settling in Kansas City, which I now call my forever home. My passion for business and architecture comes from my family, and it has shaped my unique perspective in the real estate industry.

My career started in marketing and events, but soon transitioned into managing businesses for large investors. Handling everything from vacation rentals to developing ultra-luxury homes, spas, retreats, and even a skincare line. Along the way, I had the opportunity to collaborate on high-profile projects and work with esteemed clients like Tesla, Audi, Veuve Clicquot, and Hublot, especially during my seven years in media, marketing, and my role in the sport of polo throughout the Northeast.

As I delved deeper into real estate, I had the chance to lead design and development projects, partnering with top architects and agents within the industry’s elite 1%. This experience helped me bring a higher level of insight to my work with homeowners, investors, and developers.

Kansas City captured my heart in 2012, and by 2019, I made it my permanent home. Since then, I’ve been helping buyers, sellers, and investors achieve their real estate goals, while also taking on creative design projects that fuel my passion for transforming spaces.

Over the past four years, my team and I have developed a comprehensive Real Estate Investor Program, guiding both small and large investors through every aspect of buying, selling, and managing properties.

Whether you're looking to buy, sell, design, build, or invest, I’m here to help you every step of the way. I look forward to connecting with you and taking on this journey together.

"Must start by saying this is not my first time working with Mariana. She helped us sell our primary residence and now helps us with our investment properties.  For her there are no stupid questions and she is always available to explain/give suggestions on something.  Mariana is extremely knowledgeable in several areas of real estate and can help with anything from understanding the finances to selling/renting to the best improvements return for your money to actually renting the property in this case. She walked through the property, made a design plan ( that we approved) and managed all the contractors, inspecting everything to make sure it was done correctly and timely. Working with her was a breeze as she is always on top of things. I would say that being so experienced and dedicated allows her to be ready for what you want/need for your real estate property even before you ask."

"Working with Mariana was amazing. As first time home buyers we had no idea what to expect, especially in the current market. With Mariana’s help we were fortunate to find a home fast! She guided us through every step of the process. We bought a home under the asking price… a couple requests were submitted to the seller. With Mariana’s fantastic communication we were able to have everything we asked for completed. She has a great eye for the ā€œpossibilitiesā€ of your new home and isn’t just a dreamer… she makes it happen!! So thankful for all her help and guidance along the way. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell, or both!" - Emily W.

"Mariana Castro proved herself to be an excellent real estate professional, over the the last two months, when she assisted me in the sale of one of my investment properties in Kansas City. I have dealt with a very wide selection of Agents in the past buying and selling different personnel homes and investments. I went to Kansas City to sell one of my rental investments. I found Mariana after a long investigative search and asked her opinion of the property and what she thought I could do to it to make it ready for sale. Her direct answers and creative ideas clearly demonstrated understanding the local market. We created a marketing plan and I signed with her company. I return to my residence (800 miles away) communicating via email, telephones and WhatsApp and all of my questions and requests were quickly responded to with complete and well throughout instructions to move the project forward. The house went up for sale and before the weekend was over we had a signed contract on the property. Mariana negotiate the selling price and the terms and presented the contract it was totally acceptable and I signed--great job. The closing date had been set and we were ready. I would work with Mariana with no hesitation again!" Chris S.
