About Crown Realty

Why Crown Realty



Crown Realty is locally owned, community focused, and built on family.




Founded in 1973 and headquartered in Paola, Kansas, Crown Realty is the
oldest and largest independent real estate firm in the area. With 9 offices and more than
150 agents licensed in Kansas and Missouri, we offer expert representation for buyers and
sellers across residential, commercial, agricultural, and recreational land transactions.


What sets Crown apart is our people. Our agents aren’t just colleagues — they’re family. We believe strong
relationships create better results, which is why we operate with a
small-office, relationship-driven culture where support is always just a phone call away.


Our agents are backed by an exceptional support system, including experienced brokers, full-time office staff,
a dedicated trainer, a sign department, and an expert closing team. Free from franchise limitations, we choose
the best tools and technology to serve our agents and clients — now and into the future.


Deeply rooted in the communities we serve, Crown Realty is proud to support local schools, Chambers of Commerce, and organizations such as Giving the Basics, Lakemary Center,
My Father’s House, and City Union Mission. We don’t just work here —
we live here, invest here, and give back here.
