Latest reviews in Ames
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.
I've been Nate's clinet three times. Each time he has done a great job being responsive, keeping us informed, and making the process smooth.
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!!
A humble person with an amazing work ethic . 100% recommend . Words aren’t enough to describe how good of an experience it was. Don’t hesitate to reach out to Chris if you’re looking to buy or sell, you won’t regret it.
Chris was amazing ! He was very on top of things and amazing with communicating and made it feel like he truly cared about his work and clients which I so truly appreciated. I recommend him every time someone mentions they’re looking to buy a place. If you need a realtor, he’s the person to go to!
Christian was amazing to work with. He was knowledgeable and thorough. He put together an amazing video of my moms home and everything was staged to perfection. Christian put in long hours making g sure the open house was perfect. I would highly recommend Christian Block Realty
I have worked with Jodi both as a buyer and a seller. She is very knowledgeable of the DSM metro market as well as cities that are adjacent to DSM. She is a true professional and is up to date on the latest real estate trends, the local market and all legal aspects of buying or selling a home. She is quick to respond and follow up with her clients as well as the other buyers/sellers/realtors she is working with.
