Kathy Bumsted
Hello, I am Kathryn (Kathy) Bumsted and am a Realtor with ERA Great American Realty in Wichita, Kansas. I am married to a wonderful man that supports my decision of being a realtor. I have 2 grown daughters and a stepdaughter and stepson. Between them we have 9 wonderful grandchildren that range from 24 down to 8. I decided to become a realtor so that I could work with people of all ages and to help them complete their dreams of being able to say this is our home. I have quite the background of experience. I started out as a mechanic for Boeing, building airplane parts and pieces that fit on the different models such as the 727,737,747,757,767, and 777. I worked as a mechanic for Spirit after they bought out the commercial side of Boeing. While at Spirit, I also went into Supply chain where I worked closely with all types of companies ensuring that the parts that were needed to complete projects were delivered on time and in perfect condition. I left the company after 16 years due to wanting to further my education and do something that was more meaningful to me instead of sitting behind a desk all day and doing the same thing over and over. My education background consists of a BA in Psychology, MBA in business with emphasis in Accounting and a MA in Aging so that I could work with the elderly and hoping to use these degrees while being a realtor for a great company. I really enjoy working with people and making sure that they have what they need and if necessary, find what they are looking for to make their lives a little easier and less stressful. I really enjoy being able to head down to Table Rock Lake in Missouri and spending time out on the boat, or working on our place and just relaxing where it is peace and quiet. The wildlife we have on the land is pretty cool to watch, deer, turkey, bobcats, raccoons, groundhogs etc. I have a goal since I do feed the deer and other wildlife is to get the deer to eat out of my hands. It is a beautiful place to unwind, relax and just enjoy life. My decision to come to work for ERA Great American Realty was the best choice I could have made, and I am so glad that I did. They have welcomed me into their business, have shown me so much support and given me all of the necessary tools that will allow me to succeed at being a great Realtor.
