When I retired to Ames 10 years ago my daughter and son in law connected me to Christian. He handled my purchase. As a resident of Ames for many years he knew the area and how the neighborhood was evolving. The marketing plan included what I would call "launch" dates for the realtors and for potential buyers to begin seeing the home. He knew what things needed refreshing. I moved to my new home so we could thoroughly clean the spaces with no furniture in the way. And have freshly painted walls so buyers could envision the property as their space with their things in it. Several realtors previewed the home when it was opened to them. When potential buyers began touring the home some offers were presented. Christian and I viewed one offer as particularly outstanding. I accepted that offer and the new owner recently closed on the property. I am aware of properties in Ames that have not moved quickly. The paperwork required to properly list a home has become much more involved since I had purchased the property. Hiring an agent, specifically Christian, is an excellent investment. He was responsive and had the required staging, photography, and social media tools to quickly market my house.
Very appreciative of his knowledge of the market and the education he provided as we prepared and listed the home was beneficial. He explained the process for setting the sale price of our home as well as the process related to inspection and negotiations. He was quick to respond to questions and communications in all processes. His suggestions for the presentation of the home and staging for the open house was appreciated so we kept the perspective of potential buyers in mind. It was a neat relationship as he helped me buy this home years ago and helped me sell this home.
Tracy was wonderful to work with! She was very patient, knowledgeable, and always explained everything in a clear and easy-to-understand way. Her guidance made the home-buying process simple and stress-free. I highly recommend Tracy to anyone looking to buy a home!
Luxury living truly arrived the moment I started working with Christian. From February 2025 through our closing on October 8th, Christian guided me through the entire process of building my new construction home in the Epcon community on the south side of Ames, and the experience exceeded every expectation. Christian worked closely with the Epcon agent and design team to help me select the perfect single-level ranch home with an open kitchen, sunroom, patio, two-car garage, and a spacious owner’s suite complete with a walk-in closet and bath. I was out of state for at least half of the building process, and Christian was absolutely invaluable — regularly visiting the home during construction, sending photos and updates, and making sure every detail stayed on track. Anytime I had questions or needed something handled, Christian was available, responsive, and proactive, which gave me complete peace of mind throughout the build. I would highly recommend Christian to anyone building a home or looking for a knowledgeable, proactive, detail-oriented, and trustworthy agent — truly a 5-star experience.
If you want results, Christian delivers — quickly and flawlessly. Christian listed and sold my home at 628 Brookridge Ave in Ames on October 16, 2025, and the entire process was seamless and impressive. As part of his full-service approach, Christian staged my home and transformed it into a true show home, making it look polished, inviting, and market-ready. He also arranged professional photography and created high-quality, eye-catching video marketing, then strategically promoted the home across social media and online platforms to generate maximum exposure. The result was incredible interest — 61 people attended the open house, we received two strong offers, and we accepted an above-asking offer within just four days of listing. Throughout the process, Christian was strategic, proactive, and communicative, making sure I understood every step and felt completely supported. I genuinely loved working with Christian and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to sell their home with an agent who goes above and beyond — truly a 5-star experience.
Chris was very knowledgeable and helped us find our dream home! He always has suggestions for us and very helpful through it all! We would recommend him to anyone looking into a realtor to call him!!
Matt was knowledgeable, efficient, and always there when we had questions both buying and selling our houses. He was quick to stand up for us as buys and sellers, but also let us know if what we were asking for was unreasonable. If you want someone truly in your corner, it's Matt.
Cole was amazing to work with! He made the process very easy. Highly recommend!!
