“Mallori is an exceptional professional and will be highly recomended to all of my family and friends going forward! Constant communication and timely responses were the foundation of her team's ongoing engagement. Mallori delivered what every client expects and deserves. Importantly, she flawlessly delivered a successful financial outcome for our family.”
“Jess was great to work with and made the process stress free!!”
“Isaiah was always professional and very fast to respond. He walked me through the process from start to finish and answered any questions I had along the way. He was great to work with, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone buying or selling a house.”
“Shane was very personable and stuck with us for over a year and showed us multiple properties. He was very quick to get us in to see for new homes for sale. Shane explained the selling process of our home step by step and kept us updated throughout the selling process. Shane is great to work with and we recommend him to all of our family and friends.”
“This was our second time working with Kameron and we knew working with him was going to be smooth considering his professionalism and tact. He is a proven professional, communicator, skilled negotiator, and genuinely cares about his clients. If you are looking to buy or sell -- make your life a whole lot easier and choose to work with Kameron Pope. Thanks, Kameron!”
“Lacie was amazing throughout the whole buying experience as a first-time home owner. She made every effort to keep me informed during our buying process and shown her expertise when any questions arose. When there were some questions she couldn't answer she was able to defer me to the appriorate subject-matter expert whether it was an electrician for electrical questions/work to inspection questions. She was absolutely fantastic to work with and would highly recommend her to friends and family that are looking to buy/sell now and later! Thank you Lacie Shelby for working with my partner and I. Thank you even more for making our first home purchase worth it!”
“We met Jon at a residence where we were supposed to meet another agent given by an internet website. Our agent didn't show, and Jon was there getting ready for one of his clients that hadn't shown yet. Not only did he handle meeting us and introducing himself and share his contact info, he did not detract from the experience that his other client deserved. Later that evening Jon called me back to discuss what we were looking for in a home and took the time to drive out to meet with me and my wife at our home to really understand what we were trying to accomplish. He was able to accurately, and very quickly and transparently, deliver on every promise and provide very useful insight into the entire process giving our family a much appreciated ease to both buy and sell while having rather full schedules. I would absolutely recommend and utilize his services again for any future opportunities that may arise.”
“Wendy Beal was knowledgeable and very proffesional. Her familiarity of the Ankeny market and current trends were of great help in setting the strategy for selling our home. We would highly recommend Wendy Beal for anybody looking to buy or sell in central Iowa.”
“She did go really far out of her way to show a house and had really good input on things we didn't notice”
“Kristina Sharp worked hard to make sure I was happy with the property and was with me the whole way since I had not purchased a home before. She made me feel comfortable and went through everything so I could understand the home buying proceedures. I have and will continue to recomend Kristina and a person who cares about the people she is trying to assist when buying a home.”
“Deanna was amazing! She listened to me & understood my goals. She answered all questions & was respectful of my wants & needs. She was quick with responses & was there for me every step of the process.”
“To whom it my concern, It is our immense pleasure to recommend Viola Salvato as a real estate agent for any individual or family searching for the ideal home. Viola had an initial meeting with us regarding our specific needs in a home as well as our budgetary limits. She is highly talented and immediately found us numerous listings of homes. She did not waste our time with homes that were not in line with our needs. Viola is a master with contract negotiation she came up with a deal that was good for us as well as making the seller happy. She knows the area like the back of her hand and there is nothing that escapes her attention when it comes to properties for sale in this area. We found Viola to be a highly attentive agent, almost as if we were her only customers, although we know that was not the case. She returned all phone calls and emails the same day. We never felt neglected or unimportant. She also is highly personable with an engaging personality. She is hands down the best!”
“Dakotah was amazing to work with! Dakotah was referred to us by someone and we will continue to refer him to others. Knowledgeable about the Des Moines area and homes in the area. Always felt that Dakotah was looking out for us as first time home buyers and helped us explain the home buying process in great detail. When we do decide to sell our incredible home, we will surely work with Dakotah again!”
“Roger was very responsive to our house selling & buying needs. He also presented to us additional options on other properties to consider besides the ones we found of interest to your.”
“Matt cares deeply about his clients and is as trustworthy as they come. He was a fantastic guide and advisor through our home buying process. We ran into a number of snafus and hiccups but he navigated us through them to secure a good deal. Highly recommend Matt!”
“I enjoyed working with David. He was always friendly and answered any questions that I asked. David was very knowledgeable and patient. He helped make the sale quick and easy. Would recommend him to anyone needing his service. I am thankful that we had him.”
“Agent Pronto gave me Toni Delfs name to help us find a home. She was a real delight to work with. She listened to our needs and wants, as well as what we did not want. We found our home and Toni was there to help with the whole process. She answered questions and was a wonderful bridge to all the people we dealt with along the way. Toni is the perfect person to help you find your next home and she gets the highest of marks for all her hard work. Thank you, Toni!”
“Nate Holler was very friendly, yet professional, each time I talked with him.”
“I'm extremely thankful to have been connected to my realtor, Sam, using Agent Pronto. You never know with some of these free online services just who they will be connecting you with, and since home buying involves a great deal of money, it is imperative to find the right agent. Sam was exactly who I needed to help me along this journey. She's so immensely helpful, doesn't sugarcoat the facts, and is really your very own personal real estate champion. I couldn't be more impressed or happy with my experience.”
“We had a very quick response from 2 agents. Lisa was first and had a property for us to look at. She learned a lot about us and what we wanted during that first walk through. She quickly found another, more suitable property. We spent lots of time e-mailing and calling and figuring things out. By the time we went to see the current property, she was pretty sure we would like it. I really liked it from the first look but, by the time I saw my "new sewing room" and walked the large yard, I was in love. It gave me a very peaceful feeling and I felt bonded to it, it was the place I needed right now. Things do go fast these days but we spent less than a month on this and Lisa is still there for us.”
