Winning for Buyers
The Moreno Group gives every buyer a genuine competitive advantage — not through pressure tactics or empty promises, but through preparation, local knowledge, and the kind of strategic guidance that only comes from 15 years of experience in this specific market.
We know what homes are worth in Leavenworth, Lansing, Basehor, and Tonganoxie before you ever make an offer. We know which properties will pass VA appraisal and which ones won’t. We know how to write an offer that wins in today’s market without overpaying. And we know how to negotiate repairs, credits, and concessions to protect your interests all the way to the closing table.
We Empower You
We believe informed buyers make better decisions — and better decisions lead to better outcomes. That is why we take the time to walk every client through the full home buying process before we ever start touring homes.
You will understand your financing options, your VA loan benefits, your negotiating position, and your rights as a buyer before you make a single offer. We use the latest market data, technology, and buyer tools to make sure you have everything you need to move confidently and decisively when the right home comes along.
Experience Across
All Buyer Markets
The Moreno Group has helped buyers across every market condition — competitive seller’s markets, balanced markets, and buyer’s markets. We have experience working with first-time buyers, VA loan buyers, conventional buyers, cash buyers, investors, and military families relocating from every corner of the country and overseas.
That breadth of experience means we are never rattled by market conditions, contract complications, or difficult negotiations. Whatever the market is doing — we have been there before and we know how to navigate it in your favor.
Get A Buyer's Advantage By Being Pre-Approved
In today’s market a pre-approval is not optional — it is your entry ticket. Sellers take pre-approved buyers seriously, and in Leavenworth County the good homes don’t sit long. When the right property comes along you need to be ready to move.
For military buyers using a VA loan, pre-approval is especially important. A VA-approved lender will verify your entitlement, confirm your BAH qualifies, and make sure there are no surprises when you are under contract.
The Moreno Group works with a trusted network of local VA-approved and conventional lenders who understand military timelines and the Leavenworth County market. Call or text us at 913-489-7012 and we will connect you with the right lender for your situation.
Access To Unlisted &
Coming Soon Homes
Some of the best homes never make it to Zillow before they are under contract. Through our 15 years of relationships with agents, builders, and homeowners across Leavenworth County, The Moreno Group has access to coming soon properties, off-market opportunities, and homes that haven’t hit the public market yet.
As our buyer, you get first look at these opportunities — which can be a significant advantage in a competitive market, especially during peak PCS season when inventory moves fast.
Realtor Referral Network
PCS’ing out of Fort Leavenworth when your tour is up? We have you covered. Through our national Realtor Referral Network, we connect military families with vetted, experienced agents at duty stations across the country who understand VA loans, military timelines, and what it means to serve a family that has 60 days to find a home.
Wherever the Army sends you next, we will make sure you land with the right agent in your corner. Learn more about our full military program and the benefits available to veteran and active duty buyers.
Virtual Home Buying Program — Buy From Anywhere in the World
Over the past several years The Moreno Group has helped dozens of military families purchase homes near Fort Leavenworth without ever setting foot in Kansas before closing day. If you are still at your current duty station, deployed overseas, or simply cannot make the trip to tour homes in person — our virtual home buying program gives you the full buyer experience from anywhere in the world.
Here is how it works: we conduct live FaceTime or video walkthroughs of every home on your list, giving you an honest and thorough tour of every room, the neighborhood, the street, and anything else you want to see. We answer every question in real time. We share our honest opinion about the property — the good and the not so good. And when you are ready to move forward, we handle everything through digital signing and remote closing so you can be under contract and closed without ever leaving home.
Remote military buyers are not a specialty for us — they are a significant part of what we do every single PCS season.
Here is how it works:

How do I start the home buying process near Fort Leavenworth? The first step is getting pre-approved with a VA-approved lender — or a conventional lender if you are not using your VA loan benefit. Once we have your pre-approval in hand we can start touring homes, making offers, and moving quickly when the right property comes along. Call or text Jim or Christina at 913-489-7012 and we will walk you through exactly what to do first based on your specific situation.
Can I buy a home near Fort Leavenworth with a VA loan? Absolutely — and it is one of the most powerful financial tools available to military buyers in this market.

What are the best neighborhoods for buyers near Fort Leavenworth? It depends on your priorities — commute time, school district, home size, and budget. Lansing is the most popular choice for military families, with a 5-10 minute commute to the main gate and top-rated schools. Leavenworth city is the closest and most affordable. Basehor offers excellent schools and more space.

From accepted offer to closing typically takes 30-45 days with a VA loan and 21-30 days with a conventional loan, assuming no major complications.
