R+K Real Estate Solutions - Vanessa Schmidt

Raised in Lawrence’s Sunset Hills neighborhood, Vanessa watched her Filipino grandparents buy and pay off their home despite language and financial barriers, shaping her belief that real estate is about legacy, access, and opportunity. Her family’s tradition of hosting international students taught her that home is as much about people as place. With over a decade in customer service before becoming a licensed Real Estate Broker, Vanessa built a leadership style grounded in integrity, clarity, and authentic connection. A Kansas Realtors® Right Track Academy graduate and holder of the National Association of Realtors® Diversity and Negotiation certifications, she serves as a Director with the Lawrence Board of Realtors® and is active in both the Lawrence and Kansas City Regional Associations, championing equity and higher industry standards.
