Nora and Jessica made selling my home much simpler than anticipated and were great to work with.

Nora and Jessica made selling my home much simpler than anticipated and were great to work with.

When I first met with Nora and Jessica they were fully prepared with knowledge about the area and my mother's home and were ready to go. We quickly agreed on a plan to move forward, and they were very good about making everything go smoothly. Throughout the process they were very patient even when I was missing paperwork on my end, and they were knowledgeable and helpful in getting that taken care of. Also, because I had already emptied the home, they highly recommended staging the home. Well, it turned out beautiful and the best part was that it was included as part of the deal. I'm sure it helped in getting multiple offers the first day it was on the market. I can't thank Nora, Jessica and their team enough for a job well done!

AWESOME Realtor

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jessica during the purchase of new home for my daughter in West Des Moines, IA, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From our very first meeting, Jessica's demonstrated exceptional professionalism, knowledge, and dedication. They took the time to truly understand my needs and preferences, guiding me through every step of the process with patience and expertise. Their insights into the local market were invaluable, helping me make informed decisions with confidence. Jessica and Nora (Her co-worker) were always available to answer questions, provide updates, and offer reassurance, making what could have been a stressful experience incredibly smooth and enjoyable. Their negotiation skills ensured I got the best possible deal, and their attention to detail in handling all the paperwork was impeccable. Thanks to Jessica, My daughter is now settled in her home, and I am immensely grateful for their outstanding service. If you're looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely committed to your success, look no further than Jessica Shanley.

We worked with Nora from Home Sweet Des Moines and she was helpful through the entire process and we had a lot of questions with the process being that we are 19 and buying a home in this crazy market but Nora was amazing and we are so thankful that she was able to work with us! Will definitely recommend to anyone who needs an agent. Thank you!

Working with Jessica and Home Sweet Des Moines was an absolutely fantastic experience. Jessica took great care to walk me through the process from the very beginning so I would know exactly how it would proceed from step 1. Even in a slow market due to factors beyond her control, Jessica kept working to find potential buyers and kept me informed every step of the way. I would use her and her team again without a moment's hesitation if I were selling again in central Iowa. I highly recommend this agent to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area.

Nora was amazing every step of the way. Between a divorce, kiddos and time frame, went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. Super prompt and provided everything in the easiest fashion. I could not recommend her and Jessica enough. They both made the process of selling convenient and personable, even when it was a hard situation personally. Thank you ladies!!
