PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
2054 RSCK President
Christy Friesen
RSCK Members,
As we usher in a new year, I am both honored and excited to serve as the 2025 President of the Realtors of South Central Kansas.
Representing over 2,500 dedicated professionals is a responsibility I do not take lightly, and I look forward to working alongside all of you to advance our shared mission and values.
One of my primary focuses this year will be on education and professionalism. Now that we have moved beyond the unprecedented demands of the COVID years, we have the time to focus on mastery and refine our skills to better serve our clients. By continuing to invest in professional development, we can ensure that our members remain the most knowledgeable and trusted advisors for buyers and sellers alike. Remaining well-informed and upholding the highest standards of professionalism significantly influence how others perceive our industry.
Another key area of emphasis will be moving beyond the challenges posed by the 2024 lawsuits. While these issues have tested us as an industry, I believe they also provide an opportunity to recommit to demonstrating our value to our clients and the community as a whole. We know the immense expertise and effort it takes to guide a transaction from start to finish. Let’s make it our mission to prove our worth every day - not just in words, but in actions. Together, we can build on the trust we’ve established by exemplifying the highest standards of integrity, service, and advocacy. Whether we’re negotiating on behalf of a client, volunteering in our neighborhoods, or mentoring a new colleague, every interaction is a chance to elevate our profession and make a positive impact.
On to another topic - the incredible team at our board office. The staff’s dedication, expertise, and tireless efforts behind the scenes make everything we do as members possible. To the entire team, thank you for all you accomplished last year and for your continued support in the year ahead. Your commitment inspires us to aim higher and do better every day.
As we move into 2025, let’s face its challenges and opportunities with focus and a commitment to working together. By focusing on education, professionalism, and proving our value to the community, I am confident we can make this year a tremendous success. Thank you for placing your trust in me for this role—I look forward to a year filled with growth, achievement, and teamwork.

SCK MLS:
About South Central Kansas MLS
South Central Kansas MLS (SCK MLS) was formed in 2004 and has been a trusted source for the most complete and accurate real estate information for South Central Kansas. SCK MLS covers a service area of 5 counties—Sedgwick, Butler, Harvey, Cowley, and Sumner. SCK MLS provides authorized participants a Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and a Commercial Information Exchange (CIE). SCK MLS currently provides services to approximately 2,500 real estate participants and subscribers.
SCK MLS provides real estate professionals with reliable, cost-effective access to a variety of multiple listing service products and services to serve their business needs in today’s fast-paced industry.
MLS is a means by which authorized participants make blanket unilateral offers of cooperation and compensation to other participants and is a facility for the orderly correlation and dissemination of listing information among the participants so they may better serve their clients and the public. MLS property listings can be viewed publicly through kansasresidential.com (powered by Homesnap) or at Realtor.com, in addition to many other subscriber websites.
CIE serves as a commercial information exchange and can be found at kscommercialre.com. Participants who have been retained by sellers of commercial property to market those properties may submit information on those properties to the CIE. Participants who have been retained by buyers of a commercial property may submit information of the type of property sought to the CIE. Any compensation agreements related to the property included in the CIE compilation must be made on an individual basis outside of the CIE between the Participants involved. A CIE is not an MLS, no offers of cooperation and compensation are communicated through filing information on a property within the CIE.
SCK MLS helped facilitate over 12,654 transactions, worth over $2.4 Billion. SCK MLS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the REALTORS of South Central Kansas.
