Working with Narda was an absolute pleasure. As first-time homebuyers, we were naturally overwhelmed by the complexity of the process but Narda guided us every step of the way with patience, clarity, and genuine care. From the very beginning, she took the time to explain each phase of the home-buying journey, ensuring we understood our options and felt confident in our decisions. Her knowledge of the market, responsiveness to our questions, and ability to anticipate potential challenges made a huge difference. What stood out most was her dedication—not just to finding us a house, but to helping us find our home. She listened closely to our needs, advocated for us during negotiations, and celebrated with us when we finally closed. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner in this milestone moment. If you're looking for someone who is professional, personable, and truly invested in your success, Narda is the realtor you want by your side.

After trying to sell our home with a less experienced realtor (a well-intentioned choice), we spent 10 frustrating months on the market with two failed sales. We finally realized we needed true professionals and set out to find the best. From the moment we met Nora, we knew she was different. She came to our interview not just prepared—but strategically ready, with a clear marketing plan, a data-backed pricing strategy, and smart questions that showed she truly understood the market and our goals. Hiring her was an easy and confident decision. Nora and Latrice delivered on every promise. We received weekly market updates, feedback from every showing, and thoughtful follow-up after open houses. Nora helped us interpret market data and buyer feedback to make informed decisions throughout the process. Her communication was proactive, honest, and always professional. In just three months, they sold our home. We only wish we had hired them from the start. Selling a home isn’t just about listing it—it’s about strategy, expertise, and execution. Nora and Latrice brought all of that and more. If you want results and a top-tier experience, they are the team you need.

I had very specific criteria for the home I wanted to live in and the area, and Nora and Narda didn't give up until they found the right home, and one with a view that is peaceful and relaxing!! Not only did Nora and Narda work very hard to find the right place, but they also have access to many trusted resources that are helpful when you are going through this process. My experience was truly a "Sweet" experience. Thank you!

I really cannot say enough good things about Latrice. From the first day I met her she was helpful and informative. She was great at explaining the entire home buying process. She was quick at getting me into listings that I wanted to see, and made the showing process quite easy. While showing houses she was great at pointing out details that I may not have thought about as a first time buyer. She walked me through the entire buying process and explained any details I did not understand. On top of all that she has a great personality, was fun to be around, and she's cool. What more could I ask for in a realtor.

We were out of state buyers, and had a wonderful experience working with Nora Crosthwaite on the purchase of our home. From our first meeting, she was professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to helping find our perfect home. She took the time to understand what we were looking for, provided helpful guidance throughout the process, and was always quick to respond to questions or concerns. Thanks to Nora’s knowledge of the market and strong negotiation skills, we felt confident at every stage. The entire experience was smooth and enjoyable, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. We highly recommend Nora to anyone in need of a reliable and dedicated real estate agent.

As someone who is very detail-oriented, I truly appreciated how patient and thorough Narda was throughout the entire home buying process. She took the time to explain every step in a way that made me feel confident and informed. Her professionalism, calm presence, and deep knowledge of real estate made all the difference. Narda consistently went above and beyond, always making herself available and making sure I fully understood every document, and decision. If you want someone who is not only excellent at what she does but also genuinely cares about her clients, Narda is the agent you want by your side.

We had a wonderful experience with Nora and her team! In a very tough market, they sold our house in a tight timeline and, although we didn't get what we wanted, I am confident we did the best we possibly could with their help. Highly recommend!

We had a great buying experience with Latrice Brauckman! An energetic agent with excellent market knowledge, communication and professionalism! We highly recommend her!

The thought of buying our first house was an exciting but scary and confusing at first, especially when you are buying your first home. From the first consultation call, which lasted a few hours, I felt supported by Narda, she explained and answered all of our questions and made us feel at easy with this big decision. Narda not only has a vast knowledge of the market but also had our best interest at heart. She made sure to know mine and my husbands priorities and guided us on finding the happy middle. We felt supported and celebrated by Narda throughout the whole process of making our dream to own a home come true, from the first call until closing she provided us with the most efficient and dedicated support. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy a house.

Narda was very kind and easy to work with. She puts in all the effort to ensure you find your dream home and that the process is seamless. She was very helpful in the home inspection and walkthrough process. Thank you Narda for helping us get our perfect home. Would highly recommend to others.

Nora and Julia were incredibly helpful. They understood what we were looking for perfectly, and were able to pinpoint locations that perfectly matched our expectations and point out the drawbacks of ones that didn’t. I highly recommend them!!

Julia Stender was fantastic to work with! She made my experience looking for a home in Des Moines smooth and easy every step of the way. She is very knowledgeable about Des Moines and surrounding areas. You can tell she really cares and she is very thorough, even with the little details! I would highly recommend Julia if you want someone personable and professional!
