Thank you again for asserting me and my family on purchasing this home for them. You made it easy to communicate from another state. You made the move easy. I will be purchasing a second home and I can’t wait for that adventure to start.
Buyer of 3915 Oak Ridge Dr SE, Cedar Rapids
Better Way Realty helped us purchase a home that was beyond our dreams! We contacted them with a very last-minute move to Iowa from Montana and were met with so much immediate help and support. We lined up a quick trip back to Iowa to look at homes and they were able to get us into 7 homes in one day! While on those tours, they pointed out helpful things a buyer might miss like electrical items, piping, mysterious stains, and even natural light. They really are a dream team and compliment each other's area of expertise to provide the complete buyers support package. We've had some issues in the past with requesting needed repairs on previous home purchases. Chassy and Ron really guided us through what was in our power to ask for and we ended up with all of the top priority fixes we flagged! We couldn't have asked for a more competent, quick, and organized team to help us find and make this huge purchase! Thank you Better Way Realty!

Chassy was incredibly responsive and willing to educate on every little thing. She made the first time buying a home feel so much less scary and daunting. Chassy and Ron also pointed out details in a home that they knew I might look over and let me decide how to feel about them!

I can’t say enough good things about Brent Votroubek! I recently purchased a home with Brent as my agent, and he went above and beyond in every possible way. Whether it was scheduling showings, coordinating inspections, handling paperwork, or dealing with the countless little things that come up when buying a house, Brent was always accommodating, responsive, and ready with a solution. One thing that really sets Brent apart is that he always “knows a guy”—and somehow, it’s always the RIGHT guy! Whatever you need, Brent has a connection, and more importantly, it’s someone reliable who actually does great work. That kind of network is invaluable when buying a home. What impressed me most was that nothing ever seemed like an inconvenience to him. He genuinely makes you feel like a priority, and instead of just telling you what needs to happen, he helps make it happen.
Buyer of 5007 Twin Mound Drive Northeast, Cedar Rapids
Brent and his team were incredible to work with and made buying my first home completely stress free. Brent was knowledgeable and helped me understand process and market as a first time home buyer! He answered every text right away, and was always responsive whenever I had any questions. He worked with me to determine what I was looking for, and regularly shared listings that fit. Within only a week or so of working with him, we found a home that was perfect and checked all of the boxes! I truly could not have done it without them! I would recommend Brent and his team to everyone I know, especially first time home buyers who have little to no knowledge about the buying process!!

Brent was so patient throughout the sales process. He helped to me understand the things in right perspective. Thanks is a small word and not represent the true efforts put by Brent. But still "Thank you" for all your support

Buyer of 3329 Emerson Avenue Northeast, Cedar Rapids
My fiancée and I had an excellent experience buying our house with Rick. Neither of us have owned a house before, so Rick did a great job explaining everything we needed to know and making sure the process went as smoothly as it could. Even with the added complication of my fiancée being long distance, Rick was very kind and respectful in keeping her involved with the decisions. His recommendations for inspectors and such have also been great. I would recommend Rick.
Buyer of 3329 Emerson Avenue Northeast, Cedar Rapids
Rick was amazing from the beginning. He knows the area really well and helped us navigate the process from beginning to end. As first time home buyers, there was a lot we were unfamiliar with but Rick was extremely knowledgeable and receptive to questions and also very responsive. He truly went above and beyond to make sure we found the perfect home!
