Meet Dylan Van Gerpen

Dylan Van Gerpen is a Kansas City Realtor with Real Broker, LLC, helping buyers and sellers navigate the metro with a particular appreciation for historic homes, older properties, and neighborhoods with character.

Born and raised in Kansas City, Dylan’s connection to the city goes well beyond real estate. His work is shaped by an understanding that a home is never just a structure—it is part of a block, a neighborhood, and a larger community. That perspective is especially important when working with historic and older homes, where architecture, condition, renovation history, and neighborhood context can all influence how a property should be bought, sold, and marketed.

Dylan’s approach is practical and strategy-driven. For sellers, that means helping determine what is actually worth repairing or improving, developing a pricing strategy based on the property and current competition, and creating marketing that highlights what makes the home distinctive. For buyers, it means looking beyond the listing photos to understand the property, neighborhood, potential maintenance needs, and the broader market before making a decision.

Professional development is an important part of that work. Dylan holds the Seller Representative Specialist (SRS) designation and is a Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA), adding additional training in seller representation and property pricing to his hands-on experience in the Kansas City market.

Outside of individual transactions, Dylan’s connection to Kansas City also extends beyond his client work. His involvement in local neighborhoods, preservation, and community initiatives has shaped how he thinks about housing and real estate throughout the city.

Clients working with Dylan can expect straightforward communication, thoughtful advice, and someone willing to dig into the details. Whether you are preparing to sell a longtime home, buying your first property, looking for something with a little history, or simply trying to understand your options, the goal is the same: help you make a confident, informed real estate decision.
