From start to finish, Nora made home buying a breeze! Confident and knowledgeable, she was always available to answer my questions and put my mind at ease throughout the entire process. Nora kept me informed of what to expect before, during and after the sale, and was amazing to work with from the very first offer to the turn of the key to our new home.
My wife and I moved to the Des Moines area from Colorado. Nora and her team were exceptional in helping us through the process considering all of our interactions were virtual. From initial conversations to house showings, Nora and her team went above and beyond to make the move as seamless as possible.
Nore Was amazing! With me and my family moving from a different state, she helped us in every way. Nora took our request and helped us find a amazing Home. She was with us every step, help us with everything Iowa has to offer! Will work with Nora with future businesses..
HOME, Inc. is an affordable housing nonprofit that used Nora on a special demonstration project. We built a single family home with an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) in the back yard. Since this was the first ADU built since the zoning laws changed to allow for them, there was some added leg work on the realtor's end. Nora went above and beyond to help us market the demonstration project and get it sold. She was highly organized and kept us on track. Her commitment and generosity throughout the process was second to none. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. Nora is a people person and genuinely cares about the individual person. As a nonprofit, that is at the core of what we do so it was a PERFECT match!
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!!
