AMERICA’S HEARTLAND
Missouri Real Estate Exchange
Helps Investors from Around
the World Invest in Kansas City
by Brianna Bertrand
F
ive years ago in September, Dan and Nancy
Reedy opened Missouri Real Estate Exchange
(MOREKC.com) for business in a 10 x 20 foot
office space with only two phones. Today their office in
Grandview, MO, spans 4,000 square feet; they employ
10 people and another 30 to 50 subcontractors at any
given time.
Together, Dan and Nancy own a handful of proper-
ties and rentals that they’ve acquired over time since
2006. They have a long history in the real estate invest-
ing business.
Nancy, for example, grew up with a father who bought
distressed farms and land and would rehabilitate and re-
sell them for a living. She bought her first investment
property at 19, and went on to acquire one of her dad’s
farms and subdivide it into estate lots to create her own
high-end subdivision in Foristel, MO. She is both a Mis-
souri and Kansas real estate broker and owner of MORE
Homes LLC and MORE Property Management LLC.
