“Isaiah was an absolute dream to work with. And despite what the name might make you think, it’s not the former NBA All-Star showing you homes—it’s Des Moines’ own real-estate All-Star. From the very beginning, Isaiah was diligent, patient, and committed. Even when we hit a discouraging moment and paused our home search, he never stopped being a resource for us. When we were ready to dive back in, he picked up right where we left off—touring what felt like two dozen homes with us until we finally found the one. Throughout the entire process, Isaiah was there every step of the way: helping us navigate the complexities, standing firm on our behalf, protecting our interests, and making everything feel easy and manageable. His professionalism, consistency, and genuine care made all the difference. Isaiah is the realtor I will recommend to my friends, family, and anyone who asks for years to come.”

“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!”

“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!”
