Realtors with passion, knowledge, and energy to meet all our needs!

Realtors with passion, knowledge, and energy to meet all our needs!

We first met Nora at an open house that she was coordinating for another realtor. Having visited several open houses that day, we were hitting the wall. And yet, Nora somehow reinvigorated us. It wasn't the right house for us, but we knew Nora was the right realtor. We began making plans to return and Nora was with us every step of the way. She blocked out almost an entire weekend and she and Breanna maintained excellent contact with us. They shared ideas, suggestions, and even personal experiences that validated our decision to work with them. Our house hunting weekend proved to be longer than expected and neither realtor faltered. In fact, they went out of their way on more than one occasion to make certain we were having the best possible experience. With their knowledge of the market and their genuine love for the community, Nora and Breanna guided us skillfully through our offers and counter offers, the inspection process, right through closing. While we may have had moments of doubt or indecision, Nora and Breanna’s commitment and dependability made our search for a new home a true success!

It was GREAT!!!

Narda was very helpful with all our needs, she demonstrated a lot of knowledge and was indispensable on such an important decision. She listened to our desires and dreams and helped to materialize it!!! Answered every single one of our questions, sometimes more than once... She was part of every single step of our journey, proposing houses, visiting, blue taping, fighting for discounts... I am glad we choose her!

Working with Julia Stender was an amazing experience from start to finish. She truly went above and beyond throughout the entire process, always making sure everything stayed on track and I felt informed and comfortable every step of the way. What stood out most was how much she genuinely cared. Julia was always available to answer questions, address concerns, and make the process as smooth and stress free as possible. Her dedication, professionalism, attention to detail gave us complete confidence throughout the journey. I highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for a realtor! She truly invests in her clients success!!

Exceptional representation, follow-up, and attention to detail

Exceptional representation, follow-up, and attention to detail

Latrice is an exceptional buyer's agent. After interviewing many agents and having multiple local lenders suggesting Latrice, I chose Latrice for her complete honestly about what to expect throughout the process and how her negotiation techniques and clear process lead to happy homeowners. What stood out most was how she made me feel comfortable knowing my needs and wants were her priority, as well as ensuring my expectations were well calibrated for the area. She followed up many times with incredible attention to detail, while respecting my time and money. Securing this hidden gem of a house would not have been possible without Latrice. If you are looking for no-nonsense, deep knowledge of the market, and exceptional representation through every step of the home purchase process, you must work with Latrice!

Insanely knowledgeable and made it so easy!

Nora was amazing! I had no idea what I was doing, but I never felt stressed or confused at any point, because she was always one step ahead. I was so impressed with her knowledge, and even the inspectors and the loan officer were impressed too, and couldn’t recommend her enough. I love that she’s super straightforward and will give you honest answers and the best information that she can in order for you to get a home that works for you. She is also very efficient and a great communicator! She set up a search for us, and edited it every time we found that something wasn’t working for us. We were only looking for about a month before we were able to find our home!

Above and beyond

If you are looking for a realtor that truly exceeds your expectations, Narda is the right one. Whether was navigating tricky negotiations or coordinating last-minute issues, she handled everything with grace and professionalism. Her communication was excellent and we always felt like priority, specially when coordinating my work schedule with her schedule. We were blessed to have Narda handling our new house process

Making a Stressful Purchase Actually Fun

Making a Stressful Purchase Actually Fun

We loved working with Home Sweet Des Moines and Latrice! The small details in communication, like communicating and checking in with *both* of us, was really appreciated. The HSDM team was behind Latrice all the way, helping her (and us!) with staging, photographing, and marketing our house after we had purchased our new one. I loved going to showings with Latrice because her joyful personality is so infectious. Even if a house wasn't the right fit for us, she noted what we liked and what we didn't, and helped us readjust our wish list, desired neighborhood, and budget to help us find a house that is honestly perfect for us. Buying a house is a stressful purchase - and we decided to embark on it during the winter - but Latrice actually made it fun. Her knowledge of the market and negotiation suggestions were spot on, and we never felt like she was moving without our best interests in mind. I don't ever want to move again, but I would want to work with Latrice again! Highly recommend.
