I couldn't be happier with the house I own, thanks to Tom

I was referred to 21st Century Realty by a co-worker. Upon meeting with the crew, I knew it would be a great fit. I worked primarily with Tom Stender-Custer, who understands the needs of a single young professional and first-time home purchaser. Tom expertly guided me through my first home buying experience. Without hesitation, Tom would respond to early morning and late evening phone calls, emails and texts. Tom also made himself available at the last minute for open houses and often accommodated my busy and unpredictable work schedule. Tom also provided guidance on many decision points throughout the purchase process. One of Tom's greatest qualitites was tracking down answers to complex questions-- Tom made it a point to find the answers to my questions even if he did not know the answer right away. On top of all this, Tom is super friendly with a great sense of humor, which made the home buying experience that much better. At the end of the day, I couldn't be happier with the house I own, thanks to Tom. I have now lived in my home for four months, and it has been one of the best financial and quality of life decisions I have made. Thanks again, Tom!

We had a wonderful experience working with Tom!

We had a wonderful experience working with Tom! He was incredibly patient and showed us dozens of houses until we found “the one”. We appreciated his transparency and honesty while looking at properties. Tom was very quick to respond to our questions as well. It was also very helpful that Tom had extensive knowledge of the Des Moines metro area as we were moving in from out of town. I highly recommend working with Tom!

Knowledgeable, caring, and dedicated

Tom was an absolute delight to work with. He is very knowledgeable about the Des Moines metro area, and was able to guide our family through the many questions we had as first-time homebuyers. He listened to what we were looking for and helped us find the home that is just right for our family. His work with us continued well after closing as we asked his advice and recommendations. I absolutely recommend working with Tom to find your new home!
