My wife and I recently moved to Iowa from Illinois. Our excellent broker in Illinois recommended Nora Crosthwaite of Home Sweet Des Moines to represent us in the purchase of our new home. Nora shared incredibly valuable information for us considering we were new to the Des Moine metro area. As we received listings from Nora she took the time to discuss each one to educate us on the market and brought us to view many of them. We received a listing for what appeared to be the perfect home for us and she immediately booked a tour for us that day and the rest is history. We now own that home and we could not be happier. We also had the distinct pleasure of working with two others on Nora’s team. Jeannie Crosby and Jessica Shaley. Jeannie provided incredibly valuable information with us and took a lot of time to help us with the process. Jessica too spent time with us when we needed it. It was a joy dealing with all of these extraordinary ladies. They are incredibly knowledgeable, professional and above all caring. They were interested in us and were only interested in what was right for us. No pressure, incredible response time and just warm and caring people. We wish we could give them more than the highest rating. As a real estate attorney in Illinois, I have worked with many brokers. Nora and this team are amazing and we would refer them to anyone was looking to buy or sell a home. We doubt anyone would care more and we doubt anyone would know more.

Very professional with a can do attitude. Put together a great team of professional to help her do the write job. Sold my house in two days and got more than we asked for. Explained every detail as we went through the process together. I would Highly recommend this professional

Nora is always a pleasure to work with, on both the buying- and selling-side of the business. She is very knowledgeable and aims to educate her clients throughout the entire process. I would recommend Nora to anyone looking to buy a home or sell their existing home!

I cannot recommend Nora enough! Could not have asked for a more knowledgeable and friendly realtor to help my husband and I (who were first time home buyers). She made us feel extremely comfortable, and explained everything in perfect detail for us. She has since kept in contact and has made many company recommendations for us. She just has a personal touch that we were not expecting, but we are so happy to be “in her circle” now.

Working with Nora to sell our house was a wonderful experience. She communicated throughout the entire process and her support network was second to none. Even working with my demanding schedule and during a time when working from home during a pandemic could severely disrupt access to the home, Nora was able to schedule, show , inform, educate and lead through the entire process.

Nora is professional, supportive and passionate about her job! She was respectful of our wishes and our home. She was patient and caring. She acts always with the utmost integrity in all of her dealings. I would absolutely recommend Nora and her team!

Working with Nora was great both for purchasing our new home and selling our previous one. Countless times Nora asked questions that we hadn't thought to ask or made clarifying points to ensure we fully understood important details. Our house was barely on the market before we had our asking price met and a few other important conditions met during our sale.

Nora has been an excellent realtor to work with over the past year! She was very responsive and knowledgeable about the housing market all over Des Moines and certainly helped me through the process of moving back to the area from out of state. Highly recommended!!

Nora sold our home for asking price in 8 days! We truly loved partnering with Nora. She made the entire process extremely easy and stress-free. We really appreciated her taking care of the professional photography and staging. We will be referring anyone we know to Nora as she more than exceeded our expectations.

Nora exhibited excellent industry knowledge and utilized data to help us in determining the sale of our old house and purchase of our new. She utilized historical data unlike other realtors we worked with to help discover an appropriate price to list. She used different marketing streams, Facebook, Zillow, postcards, interoffice emails, etc to get the word out about our listing and sold within two weeks. Highly recommend

Nora is absolutely amazing! She has an incredible aggressive yet empathetic approach in everything she does, which helped us deal with the emotional rollercoaster of selling our home. Nora goes the extra mile with her time, her expertise and her huge network of resources to answer each and every question/concern. She has an amazing team that supports her and everything is taken care! Nora is the only real estate agent we will use and the only one that we will refer family/friends to. She is not only our agent, she is now our friend.

Simply the best!! Nora was outstanding to work with and there is no one else we would ever want to represent us. She was always available day, night and weekends and tirelessly worked for and advocated for us all the while having the utmost respect for all parties involved. A true professional who knows the market and searched high and low for us until she found the one! In addition to being our realtor she became a friend. Doug and Dana Blom
