About

I'm your boots on the ground in Kansas City.

I'm Brian Dinkel, a licensed real estate agent with Platinum Realty, and I specialize exclusively in multifamily and investment property across the Kansas City metro — duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes in Kansas City, Overland Park and the rest of Johnson County, Lawrence, and Topeka. My office is in Overland Park.

I started as an investor myself. In 2006 I began buying distressed properties, and for the next seven years I flipped houses and built a portfolio of long-term rentals. I've been a licensed agent in Kansas and Missouri since 2015, so I look at every deal the way an owner would, because I've been one.

Most of my clients don't live here. They're out-of-state investors who found Kansas City for the numbers — strong rent-to-price ratios, a diverse job base, and affordable entry points compared to coastal markets — but can't be here in person to walk properties, vet contractors, or read a neighborhood block by block. That's what I do. I show up so you don't have to.

I close around 20 multifamily deals a year, exclusively in this niche. That focus means when you call me about a cap rate, a submarket, or a portfolio you're thinking about selling, you're talking to someone who does this every day — not someone who sells the occasional investment property between residential listings.

The Practice

What working with me actually looks like

01

I walk every property myself

Since you likely can't be here, I am — inspections, walkthroughs, and contractor meetings, with honest reporting back, not a sales pitch.

02

I underwrite every deal from scratch

Real rent rolls, normalized expenses, current debt service — not the listing agent's pro forma numbers. You get a supportable value, not a sales number.

03

I know the submarkets block by block

Eight submarkets across three markets, each with a different cap rate profile, tenant base, and risk/return tradeoff. I can tell you which one fits your strategy.

04

I work both sides of a portfolio

Building a portfolio or exiting one — acquisitions and dispositions, bulk sales or sequenced sell-offs, coordinated start to finish.
