Haley Epps has been in real estate for 30 years, and the business has always run in the family. Her mother, Sandy Spalitto, worked as a Realtor for more than 40 years and was a mentor and role model for Epps. Her husband, Jack, a real estate attorney, has also encouraged her throughout her career. Over the years, Epps has created a powerhouse of a team, treating every client as if they are the only client.

What sets her team apart, Epps emphasized, is a personalized, team-based approach.

“Every client works directly with me while benefiting from the expertise of a dedicated team of specialists,” she explained. By dividing responsibilities according to each team member’s strengths, the team can deliver strong communication, strategic guidance, and a seamless experience from consultation to closing.

That client-first approach carries through the team’s overall philosophy.

“Our philosophy is simple: put our clients’ goals first and treat every transaction as if it were our own,” Epps said. “We believe in honest communication, expert guidance, strong advocacy, and attention to detail.” Whether she’s working with a first-time buyer or marketing a luxury estate, for Epps, the commitment is the same: make the process as seamless and stress-free as possible while delivering exceptional results. No excuses.

Epps points to the milestones that make the work meaningful: handing first-time buyers the keys to their dream home or guiding a family through a major life transition.

“Those moments of trust, gratitude, and new beginnings are what make this career so meaningful,” she reflected, “and continue to inspire me every day.”

Epps also speaks with real enthusiasm about the Kansas City market itself, having sold homes in vibrant urban neighborhoods, historic areas, suburban developments, and large acreage properties. But beyond the real estate, she noted it’s the people who make the market special, offering a true sense of community, strong local businesses, and quality of life.

“It’s a wonderful place to call home,” she expressed, “and I feel fortunate to help others find their place here.”

One of Haley’s new listings reflects that range: a custom estate in Kansas City, designed by architect Wolfgang Trost and set on 18 private acres. Epps says what makes it special is the balance between luxury and everyday livability, with expansive windows and indoor-outdoor living spaces creating a resort-style retreat.

The right buyer for this property, she emphasized, is someone who values privacy, exceptional design, and the ability to enjoy a true retreat without sacrificing convenience. And the opportunity itself is rare: its greatest value lies in the combination of a custom-designed home, expansive acreage, and a prime location just minutes from Leawood and the Country Club Plaza.

As Epps noted, “Opportunities like this are incredibly rare for buyers seeking both luxury and privacy.”

Working with Epps and her team is an equally exceptional experience, because at the end of the day, it comes down to working hard for clients and making sure every person walks away happy. That commitment is exactly why the team has built its business almost entirely on referrals and repeat clients, and plenty of those clients have become friends.

“I love the personal side of real estate. It’s all about the relationships,” Epps said. “As a team, we work hard and play hard. Honestly, we’re more like a family than coworkers.”
