One Of A Kind!!!

One Of A Kind!!!

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.

Best Realtor I have ever had the pleasure of working with!

Best Realtor I have ever had the pleasure of working with!

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.

She was always there to answer our questions with patience and care, providing regular updates that kept us at ease throughout the entire process.

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!
