Buyer of 4001 Cartier Avenue, Ames
Chris is well versed on the local market and what to look for while viewing a property. We toured several homes looking for the right spot for our family and Chris was great to work with throughout the process. During a difficult inspection and negotiation period, Chris was outstanding in helping navigate the process. Chris' knowledge of construction, renovation ideas and the local market are far beyond the average real estate agent.

Chris and the Betts team were professional and timely with all aspects of communication. Incredibly helpful with describing processes with clarity which allowed us to make confident decisions. Chris’s attention to our families needs was genuine, and that understanding was demonstrated throughout the home sale, search, and purchase process.

I’ve worked with Chris on multiple deals prior to this sale. Each experience has been great, so I felt confident partnering with him again. He initially won me over with his responsiveness and optimism about getting deals done, and even after several transactions, he’s kept that same energy and enthusiasm. Chris is great at what he does. He knows the Des Moines/surrounding markets extremely well. His experience shows; he’s able to speak confidently and provide helpful context whenever questions came up about the market or the selling process. He’s also super communicative throughout the entire process. We stayed in close contact through text and jumped on calls whenever we needed to align or make real-time strategic decisions. One thing I especially appreciate about Chris is that he truly makes you feel like he has your back. We were clear about our goals for the sale from the start, including where we had flexibility, and we stayed closely aligned throughout. Chris consistently approached conversations, contracts, counterproposals, etc. with our best interests in mind. This property was also a multi-family, with multiple current tenants and a property manager involved; he did a great job owning communication between everyone and the buyer's realtor, including at times when the current tenants weren't so happy the property was being shown/sold, so we didn't have to step in. Even when a few curveballs came our way, he was proactive about pushing back or gathering the right information to ensure we were well taken care of. Overall, if you work with Chris and his team, you can feel confident they’ll look out for your best interests and watch out for you every step of the way.

Working with Susie was an incredible experience from start to finish. She made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth, organized, and even enjoyable. Her knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and clear communication gave us confidence every step of the way. She went above and beyond to market our home beautifully, attract strong interest, and negotiate the best possible outcome. We truly felt like she had our best interest at heart at all times. If you’re looking for someone who is professional, responsive, and genuinely cares about their clients, I cannot recommend Susie enough. We are so grateful for everything she did to help us successfully sell our home!
