Seller of 12699 Diamond Ridge Court, Clive
I had very specific criteria for the home I wanted to live in and the area, and Nora and Narda didn't give up until they found the right home, and one with a view that is peaceful and relaxing!! Not only did Nora and Narda work very hard to find the right place, but they also have access to many trusted resources that are helpful when you are going through this process. My experience was truly a "Sweet" experience. Thank you!

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.
Seller of 3718 Ross Rd, Ames
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.
Seller of 1233 72nd Street, Windsor Heights
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.

Narda was a huge help in our search for the perfect home. We had just arrived in the United States, and she showed us around and guided us to find the house that best fit our family's requirements and needs. For us, the main point of working with Narda is their transparency and honesty.So we moved through the entire process confident that we were on the right track. We will always be grateful to her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home.
