Buyer of 4412 63rd Street, Urbandale
Mesha is the embodiment of POSITIVE ENERGY, has a fighting spirit and is VASTLY knowledgeable in her field. Any time there were doubts or feelings of despair, she let me know that its normal to go through the emotional roller coaster that is house hunting. She is prompt at getting back to you and can get you in touch with quality contacts for inspection and any necessary work the house may need. Her advice is invaluable, which made it easy to leave things in her hands. We had a scare at the very end of fully getting our home, regarding the title being cleared for transfer. Aside from the attorneys working to sort things out, Mesha went above and beyond to get in contact with the right people, making phone calls, emailing and driving to various locations, to make sure people are not ignoring the important correspondence needed to settle things once and for all…ALL hours of the day for 3 days straight. I am BEYOND thankful that we found her to be our agent. If she was not a realtor, she could definitely double as a counselor or psychologist. She deserves so much recognition for her work! Thank you so much Mesha!
Buyer of 5123 68th Street, Urbandale
As first time buyers, we really didn’t know where to start. Tomesha walked us through the process, gave us referrals for insurance and lenders, even got quotes for contractors once we signed on our home! She was there for us every step, making herself available via phone, text, or in person no matter the time or day. She worked with our lender to ensure all was as agreed. And when we finally closed, she was there to celebrate with us. She even surprised us with a slew of gifts at our new home! I will recommend Tomesha to all friends and family seeking an agent that will always give them support. She is fun to work with and so personable. Thank you Tomesha for everything.

Buyer of 1661 22nd Avenue Southeast, Altoona
We went looking at a large amount of houses that were already built with no luck. So then she was able to get us with a contractor and they built us a beautiful house on a beautiful piece of land
Buyer of 4414 Northeast Winchester Court, Ankeny
Dianna and her term were great to work with! They made the whole process as easy as it could be. When it came to the listing and sale of our house, they really did a deep dive into the current market situation and laid out the best possible options for us to sell our house as fast as possible but also staying in the market average at that time. When it came to the new build, they were always available when it came to looking at the house and letting us in to check on the progress. If we had an issue with anything they were very quick to respond and to address the issue with the builder. Dianna and her team are very knowledgeable and we would recommend them to anyone looking to sell or buy!
Buyer of 4414 Northeast Winchester Court, Ankeny
Selling our home while building a new one could have been overwhelming, but Dianna, Kaylee, and Parker helped it all feel manageable. We appreciated their knowledge, experience, and attention to detail. We could not be more grateful for their expertise and support throughout the entire process. They made sure we understood every step and always felt like a priority. We highly recommend Elder Real Estate Team!

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.
