I moved from Southern California to Kansas in 2001. I have been an Ottawa resident and homeowner ever since. I believe strongly in giving back to the community and serve on several boards including United Way, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Ottawa Community Arts Council, Ottawa Public Library, Friends of the Library and Franklin County Heritage Homes.
I believe that a good real estate agent is committed to helping you buy or sell your home with the highest level of expertise in your local market.

Lester Edgecome
I have been a resident of Douglas County all of my life. My wife, Carolyn and I have farmed and raised our two children in the Worden area. We’ve raised hogs, cattle and crops. We are very familiar with the many facets of farming, the farming community & rural auctions. But it was always auctioneering that held my primary interest even as a boy growing up on the farm. I practiced my auction chant selling the tractor, equipment, fence posts, whatever was around me while driving the tractor in the fields.

Michele Sherpy
I am proud to call Kansas home for more than twenty years. In that time, I’ve had the pleasure of traveling the state extensively. Cities, towns, farm ground and natural beauty – you can find it all in Kansas. My husband Eric and I are raising our two young daughters in Ottawa and absolutely love the strong community we’ve found here. Just a short commute to Overland Park, Topeka, Lawrence and Emporia; all the places we travel to frequently. We love all the local bike and walking trails and outdoor areas to explore.
I am honored to serve on several local and regional boards such as KC IABC, RFTS, Sunflower PTO and my church council. Our time is the most valuable thing we can give to one another.
My career experience is in marketing, communication and sales negotiation. I attribute my past successes to being an honest, open and active listener who truly strives to understand and achieve my client’s goals. So if you’re ready to find your first home, next home or sell your current home for the best price, I’m here to work for you!

I grew up in Topeka and graduated from Washburn University. I have always had an interest in home improvement and design. My Dad was an original DIY-er, electrician and builder, and he taught me a lot! My husband graduated from Ottawa High School, and we moved back to Ottawa in 2010 and have enjoyed being back in this community. I also own my own small business in Ottawa (Ottawa Jazzercise) and have two boys who are 14 and 12.
Also, on a personal note, I am an animal lover and have currently two cats and two dogs…but that number could change in a heartbeat.

Jeni Jeffrey
I have a contagious positive spirit and energy that rivals the famous bunny. As an accountant for the past twenty years with six spent in property management, I have extensive experience maintaining meticulous business records, confidentiality and tracking deadlines. Additionally, I graduated magna cum laude from Cal State University Northridge with a B.A. in Art concentration in photography. I’m a double threat able to effectively manage both the business and creative needs of your transaction.
I recently relocated from Los Angeles back to my beloved hometown, Topeka, to be closer to my family and childhood friends. Ah Kansas, after 23 years away, I know in every fiber of my being what Dorothy said was true, “there’s no place like home.”
