Shepherd Insurance Group

We are loving this warmer weather and a chance to spend time talking about the wonderful world of insurance with the awesome team Legacy Homes Keller Williams Signature Partners. If you must work, work from the patio!

We get it. No one loves writing that check for insurance but having a surprise at claim time is worse. Reviews like this are the best because not only were we able to find a great price that suited his budget but also hooked him up with coverage that will be there if and when he needs it.

Ok for our realtor friends, I know the pictures are bad but wrap your head around selling this one for a little real estate fun.

Best Brokerage Award Winner at the Wichita Real Estate Awards Gala– Bricktown ICT

Bricktown ICT has built a culture where agents are supported, developed, and actually set up to succeed. That kind of environment shows up in production, retention, and reputation.

Strong leadership. Strong people. Strong results. Congrats on earning this prestigious award! 👏

Amelia Sumerell & The A-Team took home the Best Team Award at the Wichita Real Estate Awards Gala and it’s easy to see why.

They are consistent high performers, but what truly sets them apart is how they operate as a unit. With a shared commitment to exceptional client care and a clear focus on getting deals across the finish line, they bring a level of coordination and professionalism that makes even complex transactions feel seamless.

When strong production meets true collaboration, results like this follow. Their peers didn’t just vote for production, they voted for how this team shows up, together.

Congrats to the A-Team!

Commercial Impact Award – Braden McCurdy

Commercial deals are not for the faint of heart. They’re complex, layered, and usually come with at least one moment where everyone wonders why they started.

Braden McCurdy was recognized by his peers with the Commercial Impact Award at the Wichita Real Estate Awards Gala because he navigates the complexities that come with commercial properties with strategy, patience, and a deep understanding of the market. Braden and his team at McCurdy Auction make these transactions feel seamless. This award reflects impact you can actually see in Wichita almost anywhere you pull into a parking space. Well done, Braden!👏
