Your questions about buying, selling, and renting in the Fort Riley region, answered
Two Kansas offices — Junction City and Abilene — serving Fort Riley, Manhattan, and the surrounding Flint Hills communities.
Who is NextHome Unlimited and what areas do you serve?
NextHome Unlimited is a full-service Kansas real estate brokerage with offices at 304 E. Chestnut St in Junction City and 115 NW 3rd St in Abilene, serving Junction City, Fort Riley, Manhattan, Abilene, Wamego, Ogden, Milford, Chapman, Herington, and the surrounding Geary, Riley, Clay, and Dickinson County communities. The brokerage is licensed in the State of Kansas and pairs 24 local agents with an in-house property management division, so buyers, sellers, investors, and renters work with one team.
What makes NextHome Unlimited different from other brokerages in the Junction City and Manhattan area?
Averaging 400 to 500 closed transactions per year makes NextHome Unlimited one of the busiest brokerages in the Fort Riley region, and that volume comes from both home sales and a full property management division. Because the same offices lease and manage rentals across Geary, Riley, and Dickinson counties, our agents price and negotiate with current, street-level market data — what homes actually rent and sell for this month, not last year.
Can NextHome Unlimited help with a PCS move to or from Fort Riley?
PCS moves are a specialty at NextHome Unlimited, not a sideline: the majority of our agents hold the Military Relocation Professional (MRP) certification, and co-owner Steven Burch is a certified instructor who teaches the MRP course to other agents. Many of our agents are married to active-duty or retired service members, so PCS timelines, remote showings, and quick-turn closings are lived experience — and when buying isn't the right fit, our property management division has rental options. Our relocation guide at pcstofortriley.com walks through the entire move.
Does NextHome Unlimited offer property management?
Yes — property management is a core division at NextHome Unlimited, covering single-family homes, multi-family properties, apartment complexes, and HOA management across Junction City, Manhattan, Milford, Chapman, Ogden, Herington, Abilene, and the surrounding communities. Owners get leasing, maintenance coordination, inspections, and monthly statements from a dedicated local staff.
Who is the broker of record at NextHome Unlimited?
Ryan Garrison serves as broker of record at NextHome Unlimited, and the brokerage is owned by Ryan Garrison and Steven Burch, operating from offices in Junction City and Abilene, Kansas. Every transaction file in the office goes through a compliance review before closing, so clients across the Fort Riley region close with clean paperwork.
How do I find out what my home in Junction City or Manhattan is worth?
A customized, individualized market analysis from NextHome Unlimited compares your home against active listings, recent sales from the Flint Hills MLS, and county records — not just an automated estimate. Call (785) 762-2451 or request a valuation at nexthomeunlimited.com, and an agent prepares pricing for your specific street, not a zip-code average.
Do NextHome Unlimited agents work with VA loans and first-time buyers?
Serving a market anchored by Fort Riley means VA financing is everyday work for NextHome Unlimited agents, alongside FHA, conventional, and USDA rural programs common across Geary, Riley, and Dickinson counties. First-time buyers get a plain-language walkthrough of costs, timelines, and loan options before the first showing.
What does it cost to work with a NextHome Unlimited agent as a buyer?
Every buyer relationship at NextHome Unlimited starts with a buyer consultation, where terms are set out in a written buyer brokerage agreement and your agent builds an action plan and negotiation strategy around your needs — including negotiating for the seller to pay some, if not all, of the buyer's agent compensation. Your agent also works up an Estimated Buyer's Closing Cost worksheet, so you see the full picture in writing before you make an offer.
Does NextHome Unlimited work with real estate investors?
Investors use NextHome Unlimited for both sides of the equation — acquiring single-family, multi-family, and apartment properties in Junction City, Manhattan, and the surrounding towns, then keeping them leased and maintained through the same office's property management division. The numbers you buy on are the numbers we manage to, which keeps rent projections honest before you write an offer.
Where are the NextHome Unlimited offices located and how do I reach the team?
NextHome Unlimited operates two Kansas offices — 304 E. Chestnut St in downtown Junction City, a short drive from Fort Riley and Manhattan, and 115 NW 3rd St in Abilene. Reach the team at (785) 762-2451 or through nexthomeunlimited.com, where you can search every listing in the Flint Hills MLS and request showings online.
