Sarah is very understanding. She helped us with our very first house purchase and guided us through the whole process. I never once felt like I was asking too many or too dumb of questions. I deeply appreciate people who acknowledge that you don't know what you've never been told, and don't talk down when explaining new things. She is honest, but kind. Let us run the show when and where we wanted, but gave us support the whole way. I honestly cannot recommend Sarah enough, especially to first-time homebuyers.
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.

We enjoyed working with Chris on getting a new home purchased he is knowledgeable and always in front of everything for you.He will be marketing the home we are currently in as soon as we are ready and I would use him again and again.
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!!
