Buyer of 15432 Tanglewood Drive, Urbandale
Mike helped my wife and I (and 4 kids) move into our first home rather quickly despite the unfavorable market. He knew the VA Home Loan process and explained everything in great detail. All of our questions and needs were handled quickly. He went above and beyond what I expected from a realtor. Mike truly cares about his clients and their family. I can't put into words how thankful we were to have him as our realtor while purchasing our first home!

Buyer of 1148 Douglas Avenue, Des Moines
Angela was a godsend when we bought our house some 3 years ago. Could not have asked for a more attentive and expedient and communicative realtor and guide through our home buying process. Now, as we sell our home, she has been an invaluable resource and co-conspirator through the difficulties of selling our house. If you are looking for the one, Angela should be at the top of your list.
Buyer of 1403 63rd Street, Des Moines
I purchased a home in December 2023, I chose a realtor that is principled, honest, hardworking, listens, and could mentor me through this process. I'm a first time home buyer later in life, was riddled with fear, just required a little more "hand holding" than most. Angela was patient, kind, understanding and very knowledgeable. I purchased the 3rd house I looked at and moved in one month! Angela was with me every step of the way, for that I am grateful!
Seller of 2910 34th Street, Des Moines
Angela sold my Beaverdale home in just a matter of days. Because of her knowledge of the market and her overall expertise in real estate she was able to get me top dollar for my home. She was professional, always accessible and walked me through the entire process as it was unfolding. Angela was a pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with her in the future. If you're in the market to buy or sell a home look no further than Angela Erickson.

Buyer of 2609 School Street, Des Moines
We’ve worked with Sarah multiple times, and she continues to be amazing. She helped us find our newest investment property and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She understands exactly what we’re looking for, is always responsive, knowledgeable, and truly has our best interests in mind. We love working with Sarah and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
Seller of 1131 23rd Street, Des Moines
I've worked with Sarah for several years and she continues to go above and beyond in providing comprehensive service for her clients. She recently helped me close a difficult sale process after an initial sale had fallen through. She was persistent with several interested parties and ultimately was able to help secure a good buyer, and lead to a successful sale process. Appreciate Sarah's hard work to manage the details of this transaction!

Seller of 5915 Brookview Drive, West Des Moines
Nora and Narda made a great team. Both were knowledgeable and held our hand the entire way. They also had great resources for contractors, which was extremely helpful as we had little projects to complete to get max sale price.
Buyer of 1002 Maple Street, Murray
Nora & Andy were respectful, informative, honest, & showed passion to do what was best for my family and myself. We had a chance at what we’d consider a dream house, and through careful negotiation, timing, and hard-work by all parties involved this dream became a reality. Nora not only showed her passion for helping us as her client in conversation but she demonstrated it by rolling her sleeves up and assisting us in unloading a massive truck to help move in on a very hot summer evening. I believe the “sweet” spot in any company is being big enough to provide the service you need, but not too big you become just another number, and Home Sweet Des Moines is an excellent example of the Goldilocks option.
Seller of 4115 140th Street, Urbandale
They were very knowledgeable about the market. Kept us up to speed during the whole process and made the sale of our home easy from start to finish. They came highly recommended and were awesome!
