“Nate Holler was very friendly, yet professional, each time I talked with him.”
“Rich was very easy to work with. Always finished what he said he would do for us. Had many open houses and got the house sold. Very happy with Rich and Jeri.”
“Brenda Charlson is a terrific realtor. We are moving next Tuesday from Illinois to Iowa and Brenda helped us buy a house VIRTUALLY! She guided and advised us all along the way, set up and conducted virtual tours for us, and even helped us to find local handymen in Iowa so our home will be clean and ready to go when we move in next week. HIGHLY recommended.”
“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!”
“The service was just as advertised. We got our agent pronto, and in no time our home was sold! ”
“The agent referred to me by Agent Pronto was Todd Omundson. Todd did a fantastic job going above and beyond, helping coordinate repairs to the house because I had already moved out of town. He is an excellent real estate agent. Thanks to Agent Pronto for referring him! ”
“It was excellent working with Brandy. I rated 5 stars excellence to the service she had provided to me. Thanks! ”
“Great experience! The customer service is fantastic! Will definitely refer you to my friends!”
“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.”
“Professional and accurate with calculating the sale price of the home. Jenn made it easy and simple.”
