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!!
Julia helped us close on our home with absolutely no troubles at all. Negotiation was quick and she provided great advice along the way. She did a great job communicating with us the entire time. 10/10 would recommend!
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!
Nora helped us navigate our home buying process with a solid knowledge of our neighborhood’s market realities, responsive, reliable communication, and supportive guidance in our decision making process.
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!
Professionalism and attention impecable.. I was scared to move forward buying a house here, but Narda was so warm , demonstrating confidence, knowledgeable that I feel completely sure I did a good deal
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
She kept us informed every step of the way, making the entire buying process effortless.
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.
If you’re looking for a realtor in the Des Moines metro, you need to call Narda Strom. She was absolutely awesome to work with from start to finish. She really knows the market. Right off the bat, she nailed the comps, which helped us price the place perfectly—we were honestly shocked at how fast it moved! What really blew us away, though, was her dedication. Since we were out of state (and my wife was even out of the country at one point), we needed someone we could trust to run the show. She handled everything smoothly and even spent basically the entire weekend at our house right before closing just to make sure the handyman could get in and finish up his work. She totally took the stress out of a complicated situation and went way above and beyond what we expected. We couldn’t have done it without her!
They were very knowledgable about housing and identified concerns as we looked at homes, bringing things to our attention they we may have been unaware of, which helped us make the best choice for us. At the negotiation steps, Nora urged us along as our judgment became slightly clouded with emotion and she firmly asserted herself to represent and got us a far better deal than we were considering. Bottom line, she handled this purchase like it was her own!
