We were purchasing another home for the first time in 24 years. Nora & Julia were both very helpful in finding us homes to look at. They were very accommodating with getting us in to see the properties we were interested in. We kept in touch with them throughout the whole process by email & texts. They were both very responsive whenever we had questions. The experience we had went smoothly & I would recommend both of them highly.
Nora worked with my spouse and I for over two years looking for the right home! We saw a lot of houses together and In that time we came to see her as an extension of our family. She is very knowledgeable, her home experience and insights were educational and invaluable. Nora genuinely cared about us finding the "right one", and she inspired confidence for us in our search even when we weren't as hopeful. She was very flexible and generous with her time, and also inadvertently taught our 1 year old to say "no"! It is one of the great memories we have with her, and we are so thankful to her for her patience, her wisdom and her unwaivering perseverance alongside us through this incredible journey. We found the perfect home! Thank you Nora!!
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Nora throughout the entire home-building process, and I can’t recommend her highly enough! From start to finish, Nora was exceptional in every way. Her attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our needs were met truly stood out. She was always available to answer questions, offering prompt responses no matter the time of day, which made the entire process so much less stressful. Nora’s knowledge of the real estate market is second to none, and her expertise helped guide us through the many steps of building a home. She was proactive in identifying potential issues before they became problems, and her advice was always spot-on. Her communication skills were outstanding—she kept me informed at every stage and made sure I understood every detail of the process. What I appreciated most was Nora’s genuine care and personalized approach. She really took the time to understand our preferences and was incredibly patient, never rushing us. Nora also has a great network of professionals, from contractors to inspectors, who helped to ensure everything went smoothly. It was clear she had built strong relationships with reliable and trustworthy partners, which gave me additional peace of mind. Whether you’re buying, selling, or building, Nora is the kind of agent who goes above and beyond for her clients. Her professionalism, work ethic, and kindness are truly unparalleled. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’m so grateful for everything she did to help us build our dream home. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who is not only skilled but also cares deeply about your success, Nora is the one you want!
I met Narda during my search for a new home and I can say that it was the best experience I could have had! Her dedication, professionalism and knowledge of the market are impressive. She was tireless in finding the perfect property for me, always available to answer my questions and guide me throughout the process. I would recommend Narda Strom to anyone looking for a reliable, efficient and committed real estate agent. She really made the difference in buying our home.
Nora and Narda were absolutely awesome. They were always there when we had a question or concern. They made the whole buying process completely clear to us as we had not had a house in years and all the steps that needed to to be taken. We will definitely suggest them to people we know who are wanting to buy or sell a home!
Nora is great to work with, because she knows her craft, clearly communicates, and makes the extra effort for you.
I can’t begin to describe how amazing Nora has been, helping us as first time home buyers. She took the time get to know our needs and budget and treated us as if we were looking for a million dollar home even though our budget wasn’t. She explained what and what not to look for, red flags, and genuinely cared about our wants and needs. When we couldn’t get a proper broker based on our financial situation, she provided additional resources/broker that helped us close on our property. She was also willing to travel outside of Des Moines to help us look in the surrounding areas. 10/10
She did a really good job selling my lot. She is very hard working, prompt and works as per realtors rules. She kept me informed of all offers, market reports/updates and her opinion very clearly. I extend my thank you to her and highly recommend her.
"Narda was excellent. She explained the entire process to me, helped me find a great house, taught me, and gave me many tips about the buying process, how to take care of the property, and how to increase its value. She is an outstanding professional." "Narda foi excelente. Ela me explicou todo o processo, me ajudou a encontrar uma ótima casa, me ensinou e me deu muitas dicas sobre o processo de compra, como cuidar do imóvel e como aumentar seu valor. Ela é uma profissional extraordinária."
I have purchased a number of homes in my years. I have never expereinced such professional service as I have with Narda Strom. Her market knowledge and community insite have made our experience amazing and seamless. I have used every collegue suggestion from Narda and have been please with every result in doing so. Hopefully in the future, I may convince my family and some friends interested to relocate, whereas I will have an opportunity to recommend Narda Strom as their agent. My wife, myself and daughter have gone through the home-buying experiences before but never have we experienced such a calm, professional and "on-target" leadership than Narda Strom. Thank You. Narda and thank you to your team of professionals that made this deal happen.
From start to finish Nora was there the whole step of the way. I had very solid yay and nays for what I was looking for and Nora never pushed for the anything I didn't feel comfortable with. It was my first home purchase with a loan and Nora made sure I understood everything and all my t were crossed and i's dotted. They have made a customer for life and I will always recommend Home Sweet Des Moines for anyone's future house purchase. Thanks Nora for helping get something that I never thought I would never get.
It is my pleasure to introduce the person who helped turn our dreams into reality—our wonderful broker, Narda Strom. We had an exceptional experience working with her to sell our home. From the very start, Narda demonstrated a deep understanding of the market, offering invaluable insights that guided us in setting the perfect price. She was always there to answer our questions with patience and care, providing regular updates that kept us at ease throughout the entire process. Thanks to Narda, the experience was smooth, stress-free, and truly rewarding
