"Hello to all I wanted to do a review for one of the best realtors I have ever met Caroline Kappel With the tailor Group and the agency Realtor company Miss Caroline was my realtor and I would refer her to anyone that is looking to buy a Home, I was a… first time homebuyer and she made my process smooth sailing. She was always prompt to reach out to me with the needed information or if I reach reached out to her she was very patient because I started the process of buying a home in August 2025, but due to circumstances, I had to put the process on hold. I asked Miss Caroline if she could wait until January to give me time to regroup and get more things and order and that she did when I reached back out in January we got right back where we left off at and didn’t miss a beat. I had a deadline to be out of my apartment, which was March 31, 2026 her and my lender make sure that that took place. they made sure I was on a fast track and Miss Caroline made sure I did everything that was needed to be done. She looked out in my best interest even when they were with things that I didn’t want to pay for such as a sewer inspection. She urged me to do it because it was very important and she was right my sewer had a crack in it, but if I had not taken her advice, I would’ve been stuck with that issue after buying the home, but was able to get it taken care of by the previous owner so it did not become a problem of mine she was always concerned professional on time and she works hard for her clients. I would refer her to everyone because I was closed within 30 days and meant the deadline of March 31. I love my home. I am thankful to Miss Caroline for all that she has done and all the time she gave want to make sure that my home buying experience went smoothly. She is an amazing woman and please if you’re looking to purchase a home reach out to Miss Caroline Kappel, she’s going to get the job done for you. She was truly a blessing to me. I’m thankful always and now I am a homeowner. God bless you all and remember if you need a good realtor here’s one for you."

"I worked with Kiley on the listing and selling of my condo in St. Louis and it was the best decision I could’ve made for selling my property.
Kiley was very consistent and informative with communication, making sure I was up to date with any change o… r shift on the property and market. And it was a pretty tough market at the time.
Not to mention she was a lot of fun to work with keeping the mood positive through the whole process. Highly recommend using Kiley as your realtor if you need someone that is going to get you results while being a pleasure to work with."

"I had an absolutely amazing experience working with Kiley. From start to finish, she went above and beyond to make the entire process smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable. She was always available to answer my questions, kept me informed every ste… p of the way, and truly had my best interests at heart.
Her professionalism, knowledge of the market, and attention to detail made such a difference. I always felt confident knowing she was guiding me through such an important decision. She didn’t just treat me like a client—she genuinely cared and made me feel supported throughout the entire journey.
I’m so grateful for everything she did for me, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend Kiley to anyone looking to buy or sell a home—you won’t be disappointed!"

"We had a great experience working with Justin. He patiently helped us as we viewed numerous homes (sometimes with our two toddlers in tow), and he guided us as we wrote the offer that finally won us our home in a tough market! His experience and know… ledge were so valuable. No matter what neighborhood we were looking in, he seemed to always have helped with a sale or a purchase nearby! His kindness and warmth were appreciated by the whole family. After we got our home, my 4-year-old asked, "how come we never hang out with Justin anymore?" The kids were very happy to see him again at the Taylor Group's annual Christmas party."
