Congratulations Becky & Sheryl!


Becky Goodman - Vice President

Since 1998, Becky Goodman has been a key member of the Block & Company real estate team, specializing in the development and brokerage of retail properties and in tenant representation. Goodman has been instrumental in bringing new retailers into Kansas City through her involvement with the development of shopping centers and restaurants. As a former panelist at Integra Real Estate Trends & Investment Criteria, Goodman addressed issues related to the forecast for the real estate industry. She has led roundtable discussions and been a panelist for other events, including the ICSC Next Generation Conference. Socially conscious and community minded, Goodman supports Operation Breakthrough, the Emilee Rosebud Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, the Rose Brooks Center and Jackson County CASA; she also has served on the board of the Women in Film Kansas City chapter, a leading nonprofit dedicated to supporting women in the global entertainment industry.

Sheryl Vickers - Assistant Vice President

Now a key asset for Kansas City-based Block & Company Inc., Sheryl Vickers had her real estate license for nine years before she founded Select Sites, a tenant representation firm, in 2005. Between 2005 and 2008, Vickers completed more than $25 million in transactions with the help of only one employee. When Vickers' expanding interests and the economic climate change motivated her to join Block & Company, she was able to broaden her scope: She single-handedly opened and runs a new Block office in Lawrence, and began representing property owners and managing various properties. Vickers' success comes from maintaining a good rapport with clients; she makes sure deals get done through a blend of cooperation, communication and problem solving. Outside of the office, Vickers, a single mom, manages balances her workplace obligations with the demands of raising two toddlers.
