Nora Crosthwaite

Nora and Narda made a great team. Both were knowledgeable and held our hand the entire way. They also had great resources for contractors, which was extremely helpful as we had little projects to complete to get max sale price.

Nora & Andy were respectful, informative, honest, & showed passion to do what was best for my family and myself. We had a chance at what we’d consider a dream house, and through careful negotiation, timing, and hard-work by all parties involved this dream became a reality. Nora not only showed her passion for helping us as her client in conversation but she demonstrated it by rolling her sleeves up and assisting us in unloading a massive truck to help move in on a very hot summer evening. I believe the “sweet” spot in any company is being big enough to provide the service you need, but not too big you become just another number, and Home Sweet Des Moines is an excellent example of the Goldilocks option.

They were very knowledgeable about the market. Kept us up to speed during the whole process and made the sale of our home easy from start to finish. They came highly recommended and were awesome!

We first met Nora at an open house that she was coordinating for another realtor. Having visited several open houses that day, we were hitting the wall. And yet, Nora somehow reinvigorated us. It wasn't the right house for us, but we knew Nora was the right realtor. We began making plans to return and Nora was with us every step of the way. She blocked out almost an entire weekend and she and Breanna maintained excellent contact with us. They shared ideas, suggestions, and even personal experiences that validated our decision to work with them. Our house hunting weekend proved to be longer than expected and neither realtor faltered. In fact, they went out of their way on more than one occasion to make certain we were having the best possible experience. With their knowledge of the market and their genuine love for the community, Nora and Breanna guided us skillfully through our offers and counter offers, the inspection process, right through closing. While we may have had moments of doubt or indecision, Nora and Breanna’s commitment and dependability made our search for a new home a true success!

Nora helped us navigate our home buying process with a solid knowledge of our neighborhood’s market realities, responsive, reliable communication, and supportive guidance in our decision making process.

Nora was amazing! I had no idea what I was doing, but I never felt stressed or confused at any point, because she was always one step ahead. I was so impressed with her knowledge, and even the inspectors and the loan officer were impressed too, and couldn’t recommend her enough. I love that she’s super straightforward and will give you honest answers and the best information that she can in order for you to get a home that works for you. She is also very efficient and a great communicator! She set up a search for us, and edited it every time we found that something wasn’t working for us. We were only looking for about a month before we were able to find our home!
