66 real estate agents in 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.

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!!

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.

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.
