About Lloyd
Having spent my formative years in the Ames area, I pursued basketball at the college level while successfully attaining a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Minot State University. Upon completing my academic journey, life led me back to Iowa, where fate intervened, introducing me to my incredible wife, Nikki. Together, we feel blessed by the delightful presence of our two wonderful daughters, Hailey and Thea, as well as our son, Gabriel. In my leisure time, I indulge in a variety of interests, including basketball, volleyball, pickleball, hunting, gaming of all kinds, and any competitive pursuit that comes my way. Nothing brings me greater joy than spending quality moments with friends and family. For nearly a decade, I devoted my time and energy to serving on the board of the Boys and Girls Club of Story County, playing an active role in the organization's remarkable growth and success. Even as I've moved on from my official role, my commitment to advocating and supporting this incredible organization remains unwavering. The Boys and Girls Club will always hold a special place in my heart, and I am dedicated to its ongoing success. In 2006, I entered property management and obtained my real estate license by the following year, marking the start of my transition to the dynamic real estate field. Fueled by three years of valuable property management experience, I found my professional home at RE/MAX in 2010, where I continue to thrive and contribute to the ever-evolving industry. My approach to real estate is people-centric, rooted in building meaningful connections. Trust and honest guidance are the pillars of my business, leading to a clientele primarily built through referrals and repeat business. I deeply appreciate the trust extended through referrals and am committed to providing exceptional care to clients, helping them navigate the real estate landscape and achieve their goals.

About Alec
My name is Alec Hernandez and I am a proud real estate professional with The Betts Team, RE/MAX Real Estate Center. I have six years of real estate experience, and have been a licensed real estate agent for a little over a year now! I am proud to say I was first licensed in Illinois, but I also now hold a license in Iowa as well! I grew up watching how difficult not only buying a house can be, but also how hard it can be to find housing in general. Real estate is my passion because I get to help make something that some feel is impossible (purchasing their own home), a reality. I am a proud Hispanic man who is bilingual in English and Spanish which allows me to help even more people!

Great Experience Working with Chris Again

I’ve worked with Chris on multiple deals prior to this sale. Each experience has been great, so I felt confident partnering with him again. He initially won me over with his responsiveness and optimism about getting deals done, and even after several transactions, he’s kept that same energy and enthusiasm. Chris is great at what he does. He knows the Des Moines/surrounding markets extremely well. His experience shows; he’s able to speak confidently and provide helpful context whenever questions came up about the market or the selling process. He’s also super communicative throughout the entire process. We stayed in close contact through text and jumped on calls whenever we needed to align or make real-time strategic decisions. One thing I especially appreciate about Chris is that he truly makes you feel like he has your back. We were clear about our goals for the sale from the start, including where we had flexibility, and we stayed closely aligned throughout. Chris consistently approached conversations, contracts, counterproposals, etc. with our best interests in mind. This property was also a multi-family, with multiple current tenants and a property manager involved; he did a great job owning communication between everyone and the buyer's realtor, including at times when the current tenants weren't so happy the property was being shown/sold, so we didn't have to step in. Even when a few curveballs came our way, he was proactive about pushing back or gathering the right information to ensure we were well taken care of. Overall, if you work with Chris and his team, you can feel confident they’ll look out for your best interests and watch out for you every step of the way.

Chris is terrific to work with!

Chris always was way ahead of everything all the way through this process and if you needed help with anything he was always there with help from him or he knew a lot of people that could get things done for you also, we needed carpet in the home he helped us find and he had a company that made sure they were there to measure and the day we got the house and had the carpet ordered and ready to go in the next week. Chris was a pleasure to work with and had finance people that made the buying process easy. When he was helping us get ready to list our home to sell he was there all the way and had suggestions and ideas to make the property stand out and he kept us well informed all the way through both the buying and selling process. Terrific to do business with!
