What's Your Home Really Worth? (Not a Zillow Guess)
In Kansas, sale prices aren't public record. So the online estimates can't see what homes around here actually sold for, and they're often off.
I do it differently. I pull the real closed sales near your home, walk through it with you in person, and give you an honest number and a plan. It's free, with no pressure.

Pricing Right From Day One Matters
Homes that went under contract in the first week sold for about 100% of their original asking price. Homes that sat 61 to 90 days sold for about 92%, and three out of four of them had a price cut along the way. On a home first listed at $300,000, that's about $25,000 less.

How I Sell Homes
Part art, part science
Selling a home is part art and part science, and most agents only bring one of the two. Some are all about the feel: how the home looks in photos, how it's staged, how it makes a buyer feel walking in. Others are all about the numbers: pricing, timing, market data, spreadsheets.
I studied mechanical engineering at Wichita State before I got into real estate, so I think in systems. I build a plan before I ever put a sign in your yard. But I also know a home has to feel right in every photo and video before a buyer ever steps inside. You need both. That's what I bring.
Video, not just photos
I don't just take photos of your home. I make a real video tour, the same way I make the suburb and neighborhood videos on my YouTube channel. Then I put that video in front of people who are already looking to move to Wichita, including buyers relocating from other states. Your home doesn't just sit on the MLS waiting to get noticed.
What Sellers Say
“We wholeheartedly recommend Caleb Claussen, Realtor. Caleb guided us through the whole process of selling our home with exactly the right combination of outstanding analytical skills, attention to detail, and fantastic people skills. His engineering background shows in the way he analyzes the market, pays attention to details, and approaches problems. He understands his market, houses, buyers and sellers, from broad market trends down to individual property details. Caleb communicated regularly with us and quickly responded when we contacted him. He energetically presented the house in the best and most accurate way possible, using both the traditional marketing and online platforms. He was also proactive in working with other Realtors to keep the process moving forward while consistently representing our interests. When we initially interviewed Caleb, we knew right away that he was our first choice, and our experience confirmed our decision. Our suggestion: seek out his Youtube channel. You will get a great feel for his energy, knowledge, professionalism and style. We are so pleased to have worked with him. He will absolutely be our Realtor again when the time comes for us to buy in the area.”
Karen
Seller, Wichita area
“Caleb made buying and selling such a wonderful experience for us. We had very specific ideas of what we wanted in a house/property and Caleb made that dream a reality. He was patient with us as we went to many, many showings together. He was very responsive to all of our questions and always just a phone call away. When it came to selling our house, he made that a breeze as well. He did an unbelievable job marketing our house which brought in multiple offers within days of the posting. His marketing skills are definitely a step above the rest. We highly recommend using Caleb for all your real estate needs!”
Kathy Khoury
Buyer and seller, Wichita, KS
“This is the second home I have sold with Caleb. What a magnificent experience. There were a lot of decisions to be made, some work needed to be done, and I was unsure how to best move forward. Caleb provided expert advice, arranged for everything to be done in a very efficient and cost-effective way and took this work completely off my plate. Caleb has wonderful talents in terms of marketing properties and getting the right information to the right people. He goes above and beyond in terms of being sure everything is done in quality, professional ways. And, on top of all that, he is just a genuinely good person who offers a lot of care and support the folks with whom he works.”
Donna Bales
Repeat seller, Wichita, KS
“Caleb had a buyer that was wanting to buy a house in the sub-division that we lived in. He sent out a mailer to everyone in the HOA to see if anyone was looking to move. My wife and I were planning on moving, but still needed some work done to the house before we would sell it. We reached out to Caleb to let him know that we were interested, but still needed some stuff done. He hooked us up with the people who were able to get the upgrades/repairs done quickly and at a great price. He was always available whenever I had a question, and he knows the market. The house sold in 1 month. Now I can see Caleb's house from my new house. LOL!!”
Scot Hays
Seller
“Caleb did a great job ensuring that our house was presented professionally and utilized all available resources to garner attention and positive feedback during the listing process. He also went above and beyond to guarantee ease of transfer upon the sale of the house. We couldn't have asked for a better agent!”
Caleb Hartley
Seller
“Caleb is an absolute delight to work with! I second everything said by our neighbor, Donna Bales. Caleb could not have been more helpful. As our agent, he managed oh-so-diplomatically to keep an overzealous buyer from nickel-and-diming us with trivial 'faults' in our home. I have been involved in half-a-dozen home sales/purchases previously involving realtors... Caleb is one of the two best I have ever experienced. Ten stars!!”

“Caleb was absolutely wonderful to work with. I was doing a relocation for work which meant buying and selling at the same time. Slightly different rules must be followed. Caleb didn't miss a beat with catching details of the process, and was creative in finding solutions. I couldn't be onsite for inspection so he did it and we did a web meeting so I could hear results. He was instrumental in making sure all the change orders were done on time. I think paint was drying as the movers showed up! But I love my new home and I think Caleb's insights really helped me find the right fit. Highly recommend!”
Julia Olson
Relocation buyer, Wichita, KS
“As first time buyers, and then first sellers... Caleb was hands down the best realtor we could have asked for. He kept us updated every step of the way, explained things we didn't understand or had questions on, and truly made both processes incredibly easy. During our selling process we lived out of state, and Caleb always went the extra mile to keep tabs on the house and help us out with odds and ends when we needed it. If you are buying or selling in the Wichita area, this is your guy!”
Brianne Hartley
First-time buyer and seller, Wichita, KS
“Caleb went above and beyond to help us get top dollar for our house that we were selling and also find the perfect home. Anytime anybody is looking for the best of the best in real estate I always recommend Caleb!”
Steffani Pogue
Buyer and seller, Wichita, KS
“Caleb helped us sell a house and made the process a breeze. Wasn't sure what to expect but he walked us through and explained every step along the way. We will be sure to use him again on our future home!”
Sarah Keller
Seller
“Caleb and his team are amazing. Being a military family buying our home was difficult from afar, but Caleb made it easy with virtual tours and got my family a beautiful home. When it was time to sell, Caleb went above and beyond to get our home sold and made the whole process effortless. We had a great experience and I would recommend the Claussen team to anyone in the market who is buying and selling their homes.”
Noah Benjamin
Military family, buyer and seller
“I've done a handful of Real Estate transactions with Caleb and each and every one is as smooth as can be! He's knowledgeable with the local markets and is always making sure he's taking care of both his buyers and his sellers! Would highly recommend reaching out to him if you're looking to buy or list a home.”
Easton Fry

Anthony Unger

“Caleb helped us sell our home quickly and stuck with us as we took months to find the perfect house for us. On top of that, the bank made the process more difficult and longer than normal, and he went to bat for us. Caleb was professional, knowledgeable on all our questions, and a great person to work with.”
Bailiey Price
Seller and buyer
“Caleb Claussen has an amazing ability and honest desire to match your wishes and dreams into a reality. He is brilliant with numbers and economics to help you make a sound decision and walk you through the whole process. You will not be disappointed!”

Home Value Questions
Why is Zillow's estimate wrong for my Wichita home?
Kansas is a non-disclosure state, so home sale prices aren't public record. Sites like Zillow can't see what most homes around here actually sold for, so their estimates are often off. The MLS has the real closed sale prices. That's what I use, along with walking through your home in person, because updates and condition matter a lot.
Is the home value review really free?
Yes. There's no cost and no pressure. I'll pull the real closed sales near you, walk the home with you, and give you an honest price range and a plan. If you decide not to sell, or not for a few years, that's completely fine.
How fast do homes sell in Wichita right now?
Fast, if they're priced right. Over the last year, the median Wichita-area home spent 15 days on the market, and about 41% of sales went under contract within a week. Homes that sit longer usually sell for less, which is why pricing right from day one matters so much.
When is the best time to sell?
Late spring and early summer are usually strongest. Homes that closed in May and June sold the fastest, and July closings carried the highest prices, about 6% above the yearly median. A well-priced home sells any time of year, though, so the right time is the one that fits your plans.
