Leslie is so great. She was encouraging throughout the whole process of searching for a home and helping us purchase our forever home. We are so glad to have her as our real estate agent.
We loved working with Home Sweet Des Moines and Latrice! The small details in communication, like communicating and checking in with *both* of us, was really appreciated. The HSDM team was behind Latrice all the way, helping her (and us!) with staging, photographing, and marketing our house after we had purchased our new one. I loved going to showings with Latrice because her joyful personality is so infectious. Even if a house wasn't the right fit for us, she noted what we liked and what we didn't, and helped us readjust our wish list, desired neighborhood, and budget to help us find a house that is honestly perfect for us. Buying a house is a stressful purchase - and we decided to embark on it during the winter - but Latrice actually made it fun. Her knowledge of the market and negotiation suggestions were spot on, and we never felt like she was moving without our best interests in mind. I don't ever want to move again, but I would want to work with Latrice again! Highly recommend.
Kristen made this experience seamless as a first time homebuyer. She is knowledgeable, organized, communicative, and so fun to work with!
Krisanne was absolutely great to work with during my home buying process. She was knowledgeable, patient, and always quick to answer any questions I had along the way. She made the entire experience feel smooth and manageable from start to finish. I’m very grateful for her help and would highly recommend Krisanne to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
The very best realtor we could have had! Such an expert in the market, extremely responsive and listened to everything we could need. You cannot do better than Sean!
Yan Chen is an exceptional Realtor who is both highly intelligent and incredibly kind. She took the time to find properties that perfectly matched my requirements and provided a detailed analysis of the pros and cons for every home we viewed. Her dedication is unmatched—she drove me to every listing I was interested in and was available to answer my questions at any hour, even late at night. Thanks to her professional advice and expertise, the entire process was fast and seamless. Beyond the sale, Yan provided valuable remodeling suggestions for my condo and recommended excellent contractors. She even went as far as lending me her own power washer to help clean the exterior! She is a brilliant, hardworking professional. I highly recommend her—don't miss the chance to work with her!
Working with Linda was an absolute pleasure. She guided the sale of my condo with confidence, clarity, and a level of professionalism that immediately put us at ease. Her market knowledge and strategic approach led to an incredibly quick sale—faster than I ever expected. I felt supported at every step, and her communication was always timely and reassuring. I’m truly grateful for her dedication and expertise. Linda is exceptional at what she does, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Linda did an outstanding job in selling our condo! Even though the market was slow she found a buyer within a few days of listing it. She helped us through every step of the process until we had the proceeds check in hand. I would highly recommend Linda for all of your real estate needs.
Jeff assisted in every aspect of the sale of our home and we didn't feel stressed out by the process. We relocated out of state and couldn't perform the upkeep on the lot, so Jeff took care of it while the house was empty. 10 out of 10 would have repeat business with Jeff. And if you are reading this (Jeff), thank you from our family to you and yours. Jeff was amazing.
When you find a good agent, stick with them! I’ve used Robert Koster several times and process always goes well. He also has a deep understanding of home building and upcoming items that may require maintenance. Very knowledgeable!
