Narda is both a people person and a savvy business woman, and realtor. There were some unusual elements about our real estate transaction, and she handled them with an unparalleled skill. Would recommend to anyone!

The Agent You Want On Your Side

Nora does everything in her power to make the selling process as smooth and seamless as possible. She prepares you in advance for what's to come, delivers on promises, and works hard for you. I'd work with Nora again in a heartbeat.

Wonderful Experience!

From start to finish, Nora made home buying a breeze! Confident and knowledgeable, she was always available to answer my questions and put my mind at ease throughout the entire process. Nora kept me informed of what to expect before, during and after the sale, and was amazing to work with from the very first offer to the turn of the key to our new home.

Moved from out of state

My wife and I moved to the Des Moines area from Colorado. Nora and her team were exceptional in helping us through the process considering all of our interactions were virtual. From initial conversations to house showings, Nora and her team went above and beyond to make the move as seamless as possible.

Above and beyond service with Nora of Home Sweet Des Moines!

Above and beyond service with Nora of Home Sweet Des Moines!

HOME, Inc. is an affordable housing nonprofit that used Nora on a special demonstration project. We built a single family home with an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) in the back yard. Since this was the first ADU built since the zoning laws changed to allow for them, there was some added leg work on the realtor's end. Nora went above and beyond to help us market the demonstration project and get it sold. She was highly organized and kept us on track. Her commitment and generosity throughout the process was second to none. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. Nora is a people person and genuinely cares about the individual person. As a nonprofit, that is at the core of what we do so it was a PERFECT match!

Jessica is amazing!! She was so helpful and patient throughout our entire buying process. We never felt rushed or pressured to make quick decisions with her. She gave us time and space, she was quick to respond, reliable, and was always ready for the last-minute ideas we had. She guided us through every step and gave answers to any and every question we had. Her positivity and adaptability helped so much! We are lucky to have met Jessica. She will be the first person we call if we need help again in the future.

My wife and I recently moved to Iowa from Illinois

My wife and I recently moved to Iowa from Illinois. Our excellent broker in Illinois recommended Nora Crosthwaite of Home Sweet Des Moines to represent us in the purchase of our new home. Nora shared incredibly valuable information for us considering we were new to the Des Moine metro area. As we received listings from Nora she took the time to discuss each one to educate us on the market and brought us to view many of them. We received a listing for what appeared to be the perfect home for us and she immediately booked a tour for us that day and the rest is history. We now own that home and we could not be happier. We also had the distinct pleasure of working with two others on Nora’s team. Jeannie Crosby and Jessica Shaley. Jeannie provided incredibly valuable information with us and took a lot of time to help us with the process. Jessica too spent time with us when we needed it. It was a joy dealing with all of these extraordinary ladies. They are incredibly knowledgeable, professional and above all caring. They were interested in us and were only interested in what was right for us. No pressure, incredible response time and just warm and caring people. We wish we could give them more than the highest rating. As a real estate attorney in Illinois, I have worked with many brokers. Nora and this team are amazing and we would refer them to anyone was looking to buy or sell a home. We doubt anyone would care more and we doubt anyone would know more.

Jessica was wonderful to work with! She went above and beyond the call of duty to help my family and I find a home that suited us well during a time when the market was changing in the blink of an eye! Working with us out- of-towners when homes were flying on and off the market like wild fire was not an easy task! She made sure we saw everything we requested or showed interest in, whether it was in person, via face time or video and photos! She was great from beginning to end! We would highly recommend you work with Jessica - she won't disappoint!
