The Kansas City Regional Association of REALTORS® (KCRAR) and Heartland MLS received the Great Place to Work Certification™ for May 2025 through May 2026. The certification is based entirely on employee survey responses.
KCRAR and HMLS’s 38 employees were each sent a Trust Index Survey, which included 60 statements, which employees responded to across a five-point consistency scale, as well as two open-ended questions. Among those statements was, “Taking everything into account, I would say this is a great place to work,” to which 75% of KCRAR and HMLS employees responded positively.
“We are steadfast in our commitment to fostering a workplace that is both supportive and empowering, enabling our team to thrive,” said Julie Stewart, KCRAR Chief Operating Officer. “By cultivating a culture of excellence, we equip our team to deliver the highest standard of service to our members. Our goal is to create a positive environment that promotes growth, well-being and collaboration—where every team member feels valued, respected and truly appreciated.”
