“Steve Westbrook did an amazing job! This was a very stressful process with EXTREMELY difficult sellers.. Steve took the lead and navigated the entire situation with a level of professionalism that should be studied to teach others. Between closing dates being moved numerous times, getting contractors involved to be able to close, and everything else that’s too much to type he and his team kept the ball rolling and got us across the finish line. I can’t thank him enough for all of his help and expertise. If you’re looking to buy he is the guy you want on your team. Thanks again Steve!”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Independence currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge indicating a seller’s market even as conditions show signs of rebalancing. A rolling three-month view through September 2026 shows a typical home value around $136,935 and a median list price near $123,759, both down more than a third from a year ago, suggesting sellers are pricing more conservatively to attract buyers.
Inventory has expanded notably, giving shoppers more options even under seller-leaning conditions. Active listings are up sharply year over year, while months of supply surged to about 12.9, a sizable jump from last year and a sign that homes are taking longer to be fully absorbed by demand.
Momentum in buyer activity has picked up alongside this added supply, indicating a busier but more negotiable environment. Pending sales have more than doubled compared with a year ago and median days on market have dropped significantly over the past year, even though no recent sales closed above list and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just under 100 percent, pointing to tighter pricing expectations on both sides. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting dynamics can rely on Agent Pronto to connect them with a local agent who understands Independence’s trends in depth.

“Very good to work with and ALWAYS answered the phone.”
“I cannot recommend Cheryl highly enough! She truly went above and beyond to help us buy our new house. From start to finish, she was professional, incredibly attentive, and always available to answer our questions. What stood out most was her dedication to making sure every detail was handled perfectly. If you want a realtor who genuinely cares about their clients and delivers exceptional results, look no further than Cheryl Richard.”
“We knew Mary was a knowledgeable and top listing agent in New Orleans/ Metairie area and would help us to sell our house quickly. She did! She also gave good guidance on what was needed to get the house ready to sell and was great to work with!”
“Christian was really and truly the best!! Knowledgeable, dependable and an all around great guy. He truly helped make my dream of homeownership possible and I'm forever grateful! From his always there attitude to his knowledge and expertise, my Husband and I couldn't have found a better realtor!!!”
“Todd was in constant communication, always calling and letting me know what was going on. The house had some challenges, but he helped find the buyer who saw some of those challenges as charming opportunities.”
“Kelly was the BEST realtor I have ever worked with… and this is the 8th house I’ve bought. I highly recommend her. In my book, she not only gets 5 stars, she gets 5 GOLD stars.”
“Kari did a great job and followed through on every detail. All questions were answered timely. She informed us of every step and guided through each one. I would not hesitate to use her again in the future if the need would arise.”
“Just wow. Sandra quickly responded at all hours of the day. Truly cared about defending our interests, educating us, and recommending contractors for repairs to our home (she knows a lot of good ones). There were no surprises when it came time to close. It was very clear that she knows parish regulations and what was required of us. If there was something out of the ordinary she researched quickly and gave us direction. We will be shopping for a house for our daughter in 2025 and Sandra will be our #1 pick. I want to also add that when she says she will do something, consider it done. There was never a time that I thought she was needed to give us more attention. Very focused. Thank you Sandra!”
“Agent Pronto got me in touch with Patricia Halley Conaghan. She is, hands down, one of the best real estate agents around. I am in Oregon so it was long distance relationship. The property was no where ready to sell when I first listed. Many e-mails, phone calls, texts, and photos later we were able to get this property ready to sell. She lined up contractors and oversaw the work. It did not take long to sell with some creative financing. I couldn't be happier than I am with Patricia's work and support. She is AWESOME!!”
“Melanie Cook was very responsive and also answer any questions you may ask..She will walk you through every step of the way”
“I recently worked with Jonathan on a purchase deal as my borrowers were buying a new construction home. I have been in the mortgage industry for over 15 years, and Jonathan was a pleasure to work with. He was very kind, patient and knowledgeable. Thanks Jonathan, hope to work with you again soon!”
“We have used Darrin on several occasions to help locate a trustworthy tenant for our rental property. He has come through each time, and has made the process very easy with his wealth of knowledge, I will definitely use his service again, and recommend him to anyone in need of a Great realtor.”
“Mrs Kathy is the absolute best realtor that you can find. I had a different realtor before her and our situation was very time sensitive and particular that the first realtor didn't seem to understand that and took days to respond. After finding Mrs Kathy via recommendations my total experience changed. She is extremely knowledgeable and fast and if she doesn't know the answer to something she will find someone who does and she will fight for you every step of the way to make sure the entire process goes as smooth and easy as possible. She made the entire process so easy and understandable as first time home buyer she was a godsend. She is most definitely the one you need if you are thinking of buying a house because first and foremost above all she is there to make sure you get exactly what you want and that you are fully happy with your purchase. She is not just trying to sell you anything just to make a paycheck she cares for her client and there happiness is what she is striving for above all else. She is also flexible and very responsive when it comes to showing houses or finding new houses as soon as possible as they hit the market so you have the best chance to get a look before anyone else. To sum it up she is just amazing and definitely the one you need!”
“Let's see where do I start. Brandon is a consummate professional. He's by far the ABSOLUTE best realtor I've ever met. When we moved here in 2018, God brought Brandon into our lives. At the time we weren't looking to buy but Brandon went out of his way to help us find a rental. When we were ready to buy, we contacted Brandon and he helped us find our forever home. He listened to our needs and wants, he wasn't pushy, he made sure we were gonna to be happy with our purchase. He answered all of our questions, and when he wasn't sure of an answer he always got back to us. So if you're looking for a realtor who is caring, patient, genuine, knowledgeable and a hard worker, Brandon is your man.”
“My wife and I came across Damien by chance and are so very pleased that we did. We enjoyed working with him through the entire home buying process. His service was very courteous, professional, prompt and personable. We felt like he was working with us, not just for us, something hard to find these days. We highly recommend him for any real estate needs.”
“Gina was very helpful throughout the process of preparing and selling my home. She provided honest and constructive advice and feedback with a great eye for detail. Her experience and knowledge of the current market was very helpful in pricing and negotiating during the initial phases and during offer negotiations. Even during the unknown expectations of the COVID 19 pandemic, Gina was very reassuring yet realistic. I would recommend Gina as a reliable, responsive agent.”
“Becky is the best! She is very knowledgeable and patient!! She helped us find the perfect home. Becky help us sell 2 of our homes (one was under contract in 4 days). Becky is amazing, and I will recommend to everyone!!”
