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.

Our estate needed to get our house sold and were just not getting the level of communication and inputs from our previous agent, in stepped Nora and Latrice. Nora came highly recommended by our niece and so we called her, explaining concerns on just not feeling like our family home was getting the inputs we needed to feel like it was a priority. Nora initially asked us what we felt we needed in an agent along with explaining how she would plan on marketing it, along with strategies for selling a home that needed some “tender loving care.” We were pleasantly surprised with the initial level of activity generated, and all along the process getting excellent, and regular updates and communication. Also to be noted was that we did this whole transaction from out of state which could have added levels of complexity, but Nora and Latrice made that aspect easy to navigate and we had no issues or concerns to speak of from that. We closed and sold the house in a period of one month. Could not have been more pleased. Closing from out of state was also handled easily and professionally with the help of Nora and Latrice. So the bottom line as far as we were concerned is, exactly what we would expect from a realty professional is exactly what you will get from the Home Sweet Des Moines team!

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

Our townhouse had been such a pain to sell. We’d listed it multiple times with little luck before hiring Latrice and her team. With her help, we had multiple viewings and sold it within just a few weeks of listing! Her support and follow-up were fantastic and she kept us informed every step of the way. She even remained positive throughout while we were skeptical after having struggled to sell for so long. We were finally able to sell and get into the house we wanted with her help. So appreciative of Latrice and her team!

Latrice was great to work with when buying our first home. We had a million questions, usually the same ones, and Latrice was always willing to answer them and make sure we understood! She was very quick to communicate and keep us on schedule with showings we were interested in!
