If you want the best realtor the state of Iowa has to offer, look no further!! Pat is the most hardworking realtor you will find. He is knowledgeable of all things house-related, has "a guy" for any work that you may need on your new or existing home, and is SO FUN to work with! Plus, he has a real knack for architecture so he'll be your guy if you want someone to get excited over leaded glass windows with you (speaking from experience). We absolutely loved looking for a home with Pat and he made selling the same home two years later an absolute breeze! My husband and I are very impatient, know-what-we want people, so working with us when trying to find a house is no easy task for a realtor. Pat was responsive, helpful, and worked so efficiently. We CANNOT recommend him enough! We only wish that he was licensed in North Carolina (where we recently moved to) so that we could house hunt with him more!

Rachel Ray helped us both find and purchase our new home and sell our old home. From the get-go, she brought outstanding commitment and knowledge to the table. She had great questions which helped us identify needs that we weren't aware of, and that really helped us understand what exactly we were looking for. She showed exceptional knowledge of how the home search and home buying process works, and helped us avoid common mistakes that she has seen other clients make. Not only did she provide access to suggested properties, but she was willing to arrange to show us anything that we found on our own, often at extremely short notice and at times that fit our schedule. She was always willing to advise on a property if we had questions or uncertainties yet never tried to overrule a concern that we had or talk us into something that we didn't like. She negotiated incredibly well, resulting in an offer below listed price getting accepted on the home we purchased, as well as negotiating for a few extras that we hadn't originally included in the offer. She made herself available throughout the process to answer questions, assist with communication between our lender and the sellers' agent and lender, and had recommendations ready to solve some of the issues we ran into during the move. When selling our home, she got us a price higher than we were planning on listing it for and made for very easy negotiations between ourselves and the buyers resulting in a very positive experience. The transaction was fast, professional, friendly, and very low stress for us. Rachel was excellent in communicating every step of the selling process, just like the buying process, and checked with us more than once after everything was complete to ensure that everything was going well. While I hope we have settled into our lifelong home, should the need to move again arise, I would 100% ask Rachel and the Pershall Group to act as our realtors again. 10/10, highly recommend to anyone!

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.

I think Troy priced the house exactly right. We had pretty good foot traffic. Quick and easy paperwork and he helped us get the to do list done by suggesting a professional.

Jolene was so patient with my husband and I as we navigated through our first home buying experience. With her help the entire process went smoothly and with minimal stress. Recommend her to anyone in the market for a new home!

Brenda was wonderful to work with through the entire process of the sale of my mother's home. She handled all the repairs that were requested by the buyer and even setup getting items sold that were in the home that belong to my deceased mother to take the burden off of me at a time the help was greatly needed and helped my stress level. She priced the house accurately and it sold within a week at the list price! I would highly recommend Brenda to anyone who is handling an estate sale for a family member or just in general the sale of a home. She is great at what she does and is very caring!
Brenda Tart

I've been working with Carrie for over 20 years now. Professional, and very knowledgeable. She always has a good suggestion for your house to help it sell. She works hard for her clients, and is willing to help you understand the process. Whenever I am freaking out about a house sale, she is very patient and kind and explains what is going on. She also works hard to get you the best deal she can.
