Who we are

Welcome to The York & Co.

The York & Co. believes that great design starts with one simple truth: the spaces we live in should feel loved. They should be warm and personal—yet elegant, sophisticated, and just a little bit breathtaking.

For me, that truth has been shaped by a life lived in many homes across the country. From coast to coast, I’ve learned that style is more than just what’s trending—it's about what makes you feel at home. My background as a retail executive sharpened my eye for balance and detail, while my passion for interior design allowed me to dream beyond the shelves and into entire spaces. That mix of merchandising muscle and creative soul is what defines The York & Co.

Now based in charming Parkville, Missouri, I’ve had the joy of working with homeowners in beloved neighborhoods throughout the Kansas City metro, helping turn houses into homes that reflect who they are. Whether it’s a cozy family room redo, a holiday home transformation (yes—I consider myself a top-tier Christmas decorator and my husband and children agree!), or ground-up new construction, I’m here to bring your vision to life with clarity, creativity, and a touch of bold.

The approach is flexible by design. Want a quick run to the antique store and a refresh of your favorite room? I’m in. Ready for a full architectural partnership from blueprint to finishing touches? Let’s make it unforgettable. This is where I thrive—crafting spaces that don’t just follow the rules, but make their own.

And while we’re rooted in residential design, I’m also equally comfortable managing commercial and retail spaces.

At The York & Co., we design with heart, lead with vision, and celebrate the beauty of every new chapter. Let’s create something remarkable together.

Meet the Team

  • Agent

    For the past 12 years, I’ve been proud to call Kansas City home. Over that time, I’ve built not just a life here, but a career rooted in hands-on work, learning, and helping others. I began my journey in the trades with full-home electronic installs and pre-wiring, and over the last decade, I’ve expanded my skills to include framing, drywall, plumbing, and electrical work. As a self-employed contractor, I’ve always enjoyed the challenge of building and fixing — and more importantly, the opportunity to serve people through it.

    Recently, I earned my real estate license as a way to expand the ways I help people — this time, by finding homes that fit their lives and dreams. Whether I’m on the job site or showing a house, I bring the same values: integrity, hard work, and a desire to make a real difference.

    I’m also a proud husband to my wife, Nicole, and a father to three amazing kids. Everything I do — professionally and personally — is about building a strong foundation for my family and helping others do the same.

  • Agent

    I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Sean Kerns — I grew up in Platte City and have lived in Kansas City my entire life. After high school, I proudly served as a U.S. Navy Seabee during Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

    Following my military service, I returned home and built a career spanning more than 30 years in residential contracting, remodeling, and homebuilding. That experience gave me a deep understanding of homes inside and out, as well as the importance of trust and reliability in helping people achieve their goals.

    Now, I’m excited to bring that expertise into real estate as a licensed agent. Whether it’s buying a first home or finding a forever home, my mission is to help people every step of the way with honesty, dedication, and hard work.

    When I’m not working, you can usually find me fishing, target shooting, or spending time with my loyal German Shepherd.

    I look forward to this next chapter and to the opportunity to serve my community in a new way. If you or someone you know is considering buying or selling a home, I’d be honored to help.
