Let’s face it… Having or needing or wanting to move, can be complex and stressful. Kristal has a unique and in-depth understanding of the process that allows you to breathe easy and count on her guidance… We used her to buy a new house and to sell our old house… She made lots of quality suggestions that allowed us to realize when we sold our house a end sale number a little higher than expected… As for buying a house, Kristal really listen to our needs wants and desires to help facilitate an outcome for our new home to be genuinely a perfect fit… Would absolutely recommend her whether you were buying or selling a house
Excellent in communication
Buying and selling a home is a real rollercoaster, and she helped calm our nerves. She was available whenever we had a random question or just needed to talk things through. Sarah was thoughtful and gave us practical things she did to make our lives easier - like dropping off drinks and snacks during the chaos of the move. She focuses on providing the kind of real help that actually matters when you're moving, rather than just the typical cliche gift. She is genuine, understanding, and truly gets the human side of this process. What made working with her even better was knowing our values align. When you're making one of the biggest financial decisions of your life, it matters who you're putting your trust (and your money) behind. We were so happy to have her in our corner!
Rachel kept things easy, answered any questions I had, and helped me find a home that meets my needs. She's punctual, knowledgeable, and was quick to point out anything that could be an issue when house hunting. She absolutely went beyond what she needed to do and helped with a few extra things. I feel like I can reach out to her if I ever need house advice.
When my father passed, it was my job, as executor to sell his home. Problem was I live in Nebraska and his house was in West Des Moines. Enter Jamie Silver who made the process as easy as possible. The house needed much repair and Jamie knew all the right people to get the job done which allowed us to get top dollar for the house. She was in constant communication with us, guided us through the whole process and celebrated with us when the house sold. I am very grateful for her help and knowledge and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs to sell their property. Jamie has a lot of energy and is so easy to work with!
Michelle made the entire process much easier. She was responsive to any and all questions answering in a timely manner. She even helped us to find tradesmen. You can’t go wrong by hiring her as your agent. I will use her anytime I am looking to buy and sell my homes.
It was honor to work with Tammy. She is honest, fast, and complete. I appreciate her work immensely.
Kristina really knows her stuff. She is knowledgeable and kept in close contact with us during our whole experience. We definitely recommend her to anyone that needs help selling/buying a house.
We’ve had a lot of different agents over the years and Tammy is second to none. She’s an excellent communicator, savvy negotiator, and trusted advisor. She’s the one you want in your corner.
Very quick to respond- even stayed up til almost midnight the night we made our final deal. She even continued to try to negotiate the price down for us to give us more room to bargain. She was willing to spend the whole weekend showing us homes and was just amazing all around. Would 10/10 recommend her as a realtor and we would definitely use her again.
