Susan Ebling is truly an expert in the Lake of the Ozarks real estate market. She also spends the time up front to know her sellers and what we want and need. She recommended items to repair prior to listing and referred professionals in the area who were responsive, reasonably priced, and did great work. Susan handled the entire process professionally and communicated with me adequately about anything important or needing my attention. She provided great advice and insight and I would recommend her to anyone.

Our experience with Austin was exceptional from start to finish. He was knowledgeable, personable, and always had our best interests in mind. He helped us find the perfect home and guided us through the entire buying process with ease. Austin went above and beyond for us. We highly recommend Austin to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thank you for all of your hard work!

We were extremely happy with both a buying and selling experience recently with Krantz and Associates. Our agent, Laura Simmons Markway, did an amazing job helping to get us into a new condo and to sell our existing one. She worked very hard for us and kept us informed on how the process was moving forward. Handled every little glitch professionally and made sure we were involved every step of the way. Overall it was a very smooth and satisfying experience. She has a strong team behind her at Krantz & Associates. Everyone was great to work with from the listing, marketing, & closing specialists at their company. It's a great team approach. I highly recommend.

I had an excellent experience working with Sara McDuffy. From the first meeting to closing on my new home, Sara took the time to determine what I was looking for in my new home and patiently helped me sort through the myriad of potential homes. She helped me find that home that fit all of my preferred features!
I would & will definitely seek Sara's help for any future LOZ home/condo purchases!
Thank you, Sara!

Laura Simmons was the best when it came to our home buying experience!
We look at a few homes before the one we ended up buying was listed and it had a little bit of everything we liked from previous homes we looked at and couldn’t be more perfect for us.
Laura’s knowledge of homes and her network of people on standby to tackle any problems that come up made the experience enjoyable and we are also having Laura list our old home because you get 110% with Laura when it comes to the buying and selling process.
We are forever grateful to Laura Simmons and Re/Max Team!

Laura was AMAZING helping me through the process of selling my first home!! She was so supportive, always there to answer questions and walk me through what I needed help with. She’s so positive and encouraging and very responsive. The whole team was great and made the whole process seamless. When I’m ready to buy another home at the lake I will definitely be using Laura and her team!

Melissa is AMAZING! I had interviewed 4 different realtors from 4 different companies to sell our lake condo and instantly connected with Melissa. She is passionate about what she does and went the extra mile multiple times to help make the sale of our condo super easy. She has so many connections with people at the lake that I had nothing to worry about during our process. I have already recommended her to others and would not hesitate to recommended her to anyone selling their home!!! Keep up the great work Melissa!!

My experience with Susan Ebling, Hmmm, words really cannot describe it. I’m not one to do a lot of reviews, but in this case it is necessary to take the time and get this out there. Susan is by far the Best Realtor we have had. Susan had the knowledge that was needed to find what we wanted. We wanted a peaceful Ranch Retreat, and we wanted it near the heart of Osage Beach. Stunned and Surprised, Susan found us the most peaceful 243 acre Ranch Retreat we could ever ask for. A life long dream to own a Ranch Retreat, where we don’t hear or see cars, boats, lights, noise, all the distractions of life just melt away on the Ranch. Now the kicker is, it is only 3.5 miles, as the crow flies, from the heart of Osage Beach. So location, location, location, was always key as well. Oh, and there is always a snag along the way of purchasing, right? Well it came up, and it had nothing to do with us, Susan, or the Seller. It was one of those entities that everyone tries to make sure they are up to speed, and won’t interfere with closing, but one always does. This one was serious, and out of our hands, I thought we lost it. It was the week of closing, and I called Susan, asking her how bad this was going to be, without going into details, she had it fixed that day, we closed on time. It was stunning how she worked to get it back on track and closed, as I thought it was time to move on and look for something else. She worked with several community leaders to get this done, and done on time… Susan earns her pay everyday, by being the best Real Estate Professional out there. Thank you Susan! You earned my business for life!

I highly recommend Susan Ebling and her team! Susan is so knowledgeable about the entire lake area; there is never a question she can’t answer. Her work ethic, professionalism and responsiveness are second to none. Susan helped us with both a sale of a condo and a purchase of a private home ... two very different transactions with many moving parts, and she never missed a beat! As a bonus, when we needed a recommendation for ANY service provider, from A to Z, Susan is right there ... with options. Susan provided a smooth process and thorough follow-up!

We were so impressed by Laura Simmons. She was professional, knowledgeable, prompt and simply a joy to work with. Laura checked in with us several times throughout the process asking us if we had any concerns or questions. Laura is a "bulldog" she knows her craft and does a fantastic job. We have worked with her multiple times in the past, she is OUR realtor. Her communication skills were impeccable, communication was effortless and quick at any and all times. Laura was an absolute blessing! We highly recommend her, and have to many of our friends.

Susan Ebling helped us to buy a house sight unseen! She was our agent from the very beginning, and did such a fantastic walk through of our new lake home in Four Seasons that we made the first offer without even setting foot in the house! Very professional, courteous and client conscientious. Would recommend her and her team to anyone!

We engaged Susan Ebling to help us with the marketing and sale of our Lake Property. We could not have been more pleased and would use her services again!!! Susan drew on her expertise and knowledge of the Lake market to help frame expectations and outcomes. She also provided us with resources to ensure the property was show ready. The entire sale process was efficient and unfolded exactly like she predicted. After receiving numerous offers, we were extremely pleased to identify a buyer that will enjoy the property for years to come. Thanks Susan!!!

Susan has been our realtor 2x now! We bought our most recent property and weren't able to be onsite, so she videoed with us from the property and sent many pictures. We never make it easy for her (not on purpose!) and threw her for some loops and her flexibility is outstanding! We can't wait to go and relax and enjoy our place on the lake!

Just as when we first bought at the lake nearly 20 years ago, Melissa did a fantastic job and had an offer on our condo within 12 hours of it hitting the market! The process from negotiating to closing went so fast and so well, it felt like all we had to do was sit back and wait for the proceeds to hit our bank account.

I was truly blown away by such an exceptional experience working with Zoë Atkinson of Krantz & Associates. Throughout the entire process, her support made the negotiation and transaction process flow easy and stress‑free, consistently providing exactly what was needed at the time without adding unnecessary information or complexity. Her prompt, clear guidance had a meaningful impact in guiding our approach. I don't know how I could have done without and feel very blessed to have landed under her care. Anyone working with Krantz or Zoë would feel confident they are in good hands. Their reliability is bountiful, evident in every interaction, and the level of care is off the charts. You will not be disappointed!

Laura is an all-star agent, very detail oriented and knowledgeable about all of the lake real estate nuances (such as septic systems, inspections, HOAs, water depths, dock permitting). Laura and her team made certain to protect our interests throughout the transaction. Laura’s deep roots in the community also allowed us priority access to her company’s roster of reputable contractors and other professionals that we’ll use in the future for improvements to the home that we purchased. Thank you Laura!

Susan made our move to the Ozarks so enjoyable! Purchasing our lake home from out of state was tricky but she made it seamless. Her knowledge is second to none! We had a few hiccups throughout the transaction but Susan handled them with ease. Even after closing Susan has been in contact with our family helping us get settled in. She truly will treat you like family. I can't recommend her enough. You will not regret working with her...she truly is the best!

Laura Simmons Markway is the only realtor at the Lake of the Ozarks you should call. As a lifelong resident, her knowledge of buying and selling property at the Lake of the Ozarks was a tremendous asset to our lake experience. We were referred to RE/MAX Krantz and Associates from our local RE/MAX realtor in Kansas City. Upon speaking to Jeff Krantz on the phone, he referred us to Laura to assist us in finding our home. As a buyer's agent, she is phenomenal at explaining the area and important aspects to look for in a "lake" home. There are many aspects of the perfect home search that she turned us onto or away from just because of her knowledge - and our lack thereof. The lake is unique. Her interest in your investment is sincere and her goal is learning what you want out of a new home and making it a reality! She was absolutely instrumental in our ability to get the lake home we WANTED for the price we NEEDED it to be.
When we chose to sell our home, there was no question who we would call. After making many updates to our home, Laura came out for an assessment and listed our home quickly with a beautifully written listing description to accompany professional photos and a lifestyles video that SOLD our home in 5 days! She ensured a smooth inspection period and on-time closing. We are thankful for Laura Simmons Markway with Krantz and Associates and her expertise in the field of Real Estate at the Lake of the Ozarks. We feel that through this experience, we have a new friend we will call on if we ever purchase again in the area.

What a pleasant surprise, a realtor that went well beyond our expectations. Zoe Atkinson was there for us with her knowledge of the local market and answers to our many questions. She made herself almost instantly available to us whether it was in person or by text or email. When a problem arose with dock permitting, she connected us with Carri Hillmer. Carri is another member of the Krantz team who impressed us with her willingness to help and her knowledge of local regulations. Until our involvement with the Krantz team we were unaware of the benefits of having a complete team of reality experts working on our behalf.

We are so happy we found Austin to list and sell our property. In minutes we were at ease and felt like we were long time friends. Within days we had two offers and closed within a month. What really blew us away was his professionalism and extra time and help with a number of issues including a delivery gone awry that we couldn't handle being 500 miles away. We highly recommend Austin and will refer him if ever the opportunity presents itself.

Melissa told us exactly what our home would sell for & that if we decided to put it on the market, to be ready. She was correct all the way around! She’s been in the local market for many years, so she’s very knowledgeable in all aspects of buying/selling at the Lake of the Ozarks. She also has great contacts & rapport with contractors to get any issues handled from the inspection. We were very pleased with her negotiation skills & ability to work through issues as they arose. Her team is top notch & I really appreciated the updates from them, as well as their responsiveness.

Susan Ebling was a terrific real estate agent and someone that we felt very comfortable with coordinating the negotiation / purchase of our new lake home. She had such an amazing knowledge of that specific location as well as the surrounding area. Since the close of the deal, she has also provided us with additional contacts to help with a smooth transition to lake living. We would highly recommend giving her the opportunity to work with you to find your new place at the lake!

Laura was awesome!! She made the purchase of a Lake Property seem like such a breeze for my wife and I. She presented options, displayed the negatives and the positives and closed the deal effectively, efficiently and very quickly. It's hard to find a Realtor that is a Team Player like Laura. I definitely hope that I have the opportunity to work with her again one day.

We used Susan Ebling at Krantz & Associates RE/MAX Lake of the Ozarks as our realtor when we moved to the lake from out of state.

I would highly recommend Susan and the Krantz & Associates team!

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an agent at the lake!!

When it comes to Laura Simmons and her Re/Max team, we could not have asked for a more professional real estate agent and agency. The whole experience from the beginning to the end was spectacular, and could not have gone any better. From Laura getting us more money than we initially thought we could get, to handling each step of the process with ease, to helping us find a rental to live in, while our new house is being built! Laura and her whole team were fantastic.

I can't express enough how AMAZING Laura Simmons Markway with Krantz & Associates was in helping us sell our lake front property! Her knowledge of selling in the unique market of Lake of the Ozarks is top notch! Laura comes with a team of amazing industry experts and every detail was spot on, there was never a glitch or delay during any step of the process. Laura not only knows the area, but she knows the right people to make things happen. Laura has a large professional network including other Realtors, contractors, inspectors, and financial experts. These connections make Laura an asset that anyone buying or selling will find priceless when facing the stresses of purchasing or selling a home. I not only found the BEST Realtor at Lake of the Ozarks, but I also somehow came out of a real estate transaction with a new friend!

We worked with Susan to purchase our first condo at the lake and she was amazing to work with from start to finish. She took her time to really understand what we were looking for and was very responsive every time we had questions throughout the process.

This was our fourth transaction (buy/sell....buy/sell) with Megan King and the Krantz RE/Max Lake of the Ozarks team. Everything about our experience has been 5 star. Their responsiveness to every aspect of the real estate deal from start to finish makes the buying/selling process top notch. Their entire team makes you feel like family and treats you with the utmost respect. Megan hustles and WE LOVE THAT about her. She makes herself readily available and couldn't be more professional. We absolutely adore Megan and would recommend her and the Krantz Team to everyone we know. Need to buy or sell...their team is the dream team from start to finish. Thank you for all you do! You truly have a top notch team!

Melissa and the team at Krantz & Associates are amazing! We sold a condo with Melissa and are purchasing one as well. They are a responsive, professional, and supportive well oiled machine! From start to finish they made the process of getting our home ready for sale, marketing, negotiations, and closing so easy and stressfree. We could relax and trust in the fact that Mel was always working for our best interest. On the purchasing side she also does an amazing job of making sure you are well protected and get the best deal possible. The team is so organized and structured to complete closings for both selling and purchasing. You can reach Mel anytime and she and her team are always on top of the process to make sure nothing slips through the cracks. We have complete trust in them and recommend them to anyone looking to sell or purchase property at the Lake. They are wonderful!!

Susan is a real gem. We have purchased multiple properties with her and this last one was no different - she always works HARD for her clients making sure all questions and concerns are answered satisfactorily.

We trust Susan explicitly and look forward to buying another lake home with her! In addition, the entire Krantz team is helpful and goes above and beyond to meet our needs.

Susan Ebling was outstanding as our agent. She has many years of experience at the lake and came prepared to our first meeting with solid information to help us find the ideal price for our condo. She had it sold within one day and managed the entire process, with her team, from start to finish with exceptional customer service. We have bought and sold properties many times over the years but this has been the easiest and most satisfying sale we have ever been a part of. Susan and her team gets 5 stars for their efforts.

We were very satisfied with our choice of real estate agents. Melissa Krantz was down-to-earth and, at the same time, very professional. She worked tirelessly through the whole process, even during difficult times towards closing, and while we wish we still had a Presbyterian church at the Lake, we are satisfied with the closing results. Melissa, thank you.

We interview 10 local Realtors before listing our condo for sale. Since the lake area real estate market is not typical of most markets in the country we wanted to make sure we listed with a Realtor who knew the lake "cold."
Since we were updating it prior to selling (we owned it for 20 years) we also wanted a Realtor who could tell us what things were cost effective to do and what things were now. As such, when Susan told us she routinely purchased properties to update and sell, we were impressed.
While most other Realtors simply looked at the previous year's comps and recommended a listing price that was similar, Susan looked at the tightness of the market and extremely limited inventory and recommended a much higher price based on what she believed the market could bear.
Our condo sold for cash in 12 days.
In summary, our experience with Susan was superior in all respects - convenience, service, knowledge of the market and advice on the initial offer. Any future real estate transactions we do at the lake with be with her, and her alone. I work with a number of Realtors in my business and very few of them can hold a candle to her.

Susan Ebling was AMAZING! She worked with us to not only to sell our home, but buy our beautiful home she found for us! She listened to all the things we were looking for in our new home. She went above and beyond to find us that home! I would 100% recommend this group! Such a great team.
