Posted by: Scott Elpers on Wednesday, May 17, 2023

Cindy Carnahan has lived in Wichita her entire life and is proud to be a part of the Wichita area community. Cindy is a passionate fan and supporter of her alma mater, Wichita State University, where she earned her Bachelor's Degree in elementary education.

Following graduation, Cindy went on to teach in the Wichita Public School System for a short time before going to work with her mother and father in the family owned business, The Ed Clarke Company Realtors.

Cindy devoted herself to the family business, expanding her knowledge, experiences and learning the best of the Real Estate business for 14 years.

When her father retired at age 72, Cindy decided to broaden her experiences by going to work for her biggest competitor, J.P. Weigand & Sons, Inc. She quickly achieved significant sales growth as well as reputation for tenacity and dedication to customer service. Cindy formed The Carnahan Group in 1988 and the team quickly became the top-volume Real Estate group in Wichita.

In 2019, Cindy and The Carnahan Group joined ReeceNichols South Central Kansas, part of the state's largest residential real-estate group.

Today, with more than 40 years of Real Estate experience, Cindy is widely recognized as one of Wichita's most successful entrepreneurs and has been the top Realtor® in Wichita for more than two decades. Her knowledge and skill is unparalleled, as is her commitment to her clients; a combination that makes Cindy your best advocate as well as your best advantage in any Real Estate transaction.
