     Missouri Real Estate Exchange
      Helps Investors from Around

                     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.

Cash Flow with Dan in 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. Realty411Guide.com PAGE 19 • 2011 reWEALTHmag.com
