I met Narda during my search for a new home and I can say that it was the best experience I could have had! Her dedication, professionalism and knowledge of the market are impressive. She was tireless in finding the perfect property for me, always available to answer my questions and guide me throughout the process. I would recommend Narda Strom to anyone looking for a reliable, efficient and committed real estate agent. She really made the difference in buying our home.

Nora and Narda were absolutely awesome. They were always there when we had a question or concern. They made the whole buying process completely clear to us as we had not had a house in years and all the steps that needed to to be taken. We will definitely suggest them to people we know who are wanting to buy or sell a home!

First time home buying made easy

First time home buying made easy

I can’t begin to describe how amazing Nora has been, helping us as first time home buyers. She took the time get to know our needs and budget and treated us as if we were looking for a million dollar home even though our budget wasn’t. She explained what and what not to look for, red flags, and genuinely cared about our wants and needs. When we couldn’t get a proper broker based on our financial situation, she provided additional resources/broker that helped us close on our property. She was also willing to travel outside of Des Moines to help us look in the surrounding areas. 10/10

She did a really good job selling my lot. She is very hard working, prompt and works as per realtors rules. She kept me informed of all offers, market reports/updates and her opinion very clearly. I extend my thank you to her and highly recommend her.

One Of A Kind!!!

I have purchased a number of homes in my years. I have never expereinced such professional service as I have with Narda Strom. Her market knowledge and community insite have made our experience amazing and seamless. I have used every collegue suggestion from Narda and have been please with every result in doing so. Hopefully in the future, I may convince my family and some friends interested to relocate, whereas I will have an opportunity to recommend Narda Strom as their agent. My wife, myself and daughter have gone through the home-buying experiences before but never have we experienced such a calm, professional and "on-target" leadership than Narda Strom. Thank You. Narda and thank you to your team of professionals that made this deal happen.

Best Realtor I have ever had the pleasure of working with!

From start to finish Nora was there the whole step of the way. I had very solid yay and nays for what I was looking for and Nora never pushed for the anything I didn't feel comfortable with. It was my first home purchase with a loan and Nora made sure I understood everything and all my t were crossed and i's dotted. They have made a customer for life and I will always recommend Home Sweet Des Moines for anyone's future house purchase. Thanks Nora for helping get something that I never thought I would never get.

It is my pleasure to introduce the person who helped turn our dreams into reality—our wonderful broker, Narda Strom. We had an exceptional experience working with her to sell our home. From the very start, Narda demonstrated a deep understanding of the market, offering invaluable insights that guided us in setting the perfect price. She was always there to answer our questions with patience and care, providing regular updates that kept us at ease throughout the entire process. Thanks to Narda, the experience was smooth, stress-free, and truly rewarding

Nora and Jessica made selling my home much simpler than anticipated and were great to work with.

Nora and Jessica made selling my home much simpler than anticipated and were great to work with.

When I first met with Nora and Jessica they were fully prepared with knowledge about the area and my mother's home and were ready to go. We quickly agreed on a plan to move forward, and they were very good about making everything go smoothly. Throughout the process they were very patient even when I was missing paperwork on my end, and they were knowledgeable and helpful in getting that taken care of. Also, because I had already emptied the home, they highly recommended staging the home. Well, it turned out beautiful and the best part was that it was included as part of the deal. I'm sure it helped in getting multiple offers the first day it was on the market. I can't thank Nora, Jessica and their team enough for a job well done!

AWESOME Realtor

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jessica during the purchase of new home for my daughter in West Des Moines, IA, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From our very first meeting, Jessica's demonstrated exceptional professionalism, knowledge, and dedication. They took the time to truly understand my needs and preferences, guiding me through every step of the process with patience and expertise. Their insights into the local market were invaluable, helping me make informed decisions with confidence. Jessica and Nora (Her co-worker) were always available to answer questions, provide updates, and offer reassurance, making what could have been a stressful experience incredibly smooth and enjoyable. Their negotiation skills ensured I got the best possible deal, and their attention to detail in handling all the paperwork was impeccable. Thanks to Jessica, My daughter is now settled in her home, and I am immensely grateful for their outstanding service. If you're looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely committed to your success, look no further than Jessica Shanley.
