Llyod was our savior.. we had a bidding war that ended in our favor for a great home.. he helped navigate a home inspection with a new roof prior to a quick close. Lloyd had our best interests in mind. Would recommend over and over again!

We would highly recommend Lloyd Flanders for all of your real estate needs. Our family recently moved to Ames from out of state and we are so thankful for everything Lloyd helped us to coordinate in this transition. During our house hunting trip he planned many showings to a variety of houses, listened to our feedback, kept us focused and we were able to reduce a huge list of houses down to a smaller few and ultimately we found the perfect home for our family. As newcomers to the area, Lloyd has continued to be there for us when we have questions or need recommendations.

Lloyd took care of our negotiations while he was out of town on vacation which was very much appreciated. He also made a special trip so I could sign closing documents.

Lloyd helped us find our first home after we moved back to Iowa. He showed us every house we asked to see and then some to make sure we found that right one. It was a lot of time on his part but he was always happy to do it! He was honest about the homes he showed us and was always willing to answer alll of our first time home-buyer questions. We’ll definitely use Lloyd anytime we need a realtor!

I first had the opportunity to work with Lloyd in 2011 when my daughters and I needed to find a new home. He was knowledgeable, practical, helpful and kind. His honesty and concern were genuine and much appreciated. Since then he has taken the time to reach out to see if things were going well. He has walked me through and helped me with the potential timing of selling my house and the improvements that would be most beneficial. He has also taken the time to sit down with my fiancé and me to discuss building ideas for our dream home. I will continue to do work with Lloyd and send people his way.

We purchased a house, along with out son...we are three hours away and our son is on the west coast. Lloyd provided good open communication with everyone on board throughout the process. As the buyer, I felt well represented.

I had a pretty easy transaction because I knew the sellers family, but Lloyd was very helpful in arranging the agreement in a way that was completely stress-free for me. He's very friendly and knowledgeable about the process even though my experience was probably less traditional than most others. He was always available with any questions and I really appreciated working with him.

Lloyd was highly effective in moving our unique modern house in a tough environment. His communication was top-notch and my wife and I can't recommend him enough. His diligence and flexibility made buying our next house pain-free. Frankly it was the best home-buying experience we've had so far.

Worked with us and had great communication even though we were out of state. Excellent at communicating with the seller's agent. Helped us get some issues taken care of after the inspection. We love our home and we thank Lloyd for his integrity and for looking out for us when we were out of state. Highly recommended!!!!!

Selling a house while living 3 hours away is no easy task. However, working with Lloyd Flanders, Jean Read and the folks in their office far exceeded our expectations, and made it a very easy process. Lloyd developed a solid marketing plan and proactively communicated with other brokers. He personally invested himself into our situation helping keep an eye on the house on our behalf, ensuring the house was safe, secure and warm, particularly when winter temps fell to frigid levels. And, when we negotiated the final sale, Lloyd's advice and counsel led to the best result possible for us. Then Jean helped us prepare and deliver all the necessary documents for closing, ensuring the closing remained on track from accepted offer to receipt of net proceeds. Whether you live in your home or 3 hours away, I highly recommend Lloyd, Jean and ReMax as your real estate agent because they are not your typical broker.

We had Lloyd when we bought our first home and he helped us sell that home and purchase a new one 5 years later. He is a great resource for first time home buyers in the Ames city and surrounding area. He is easy to talk with and will respond to your question within 12 hours. He is not pushy on decisions and will help you with any questions you may have.

Lloyd was great from the beginning and all through the process. He gave us regular advice in person and via email, kept us on task, and facilitated a very quick closing. We look forward to similar excellence with the sale of our old house!
