I don't think I have enough things to say about Chris. My wife and I had 3 different agents stop by when we decided to list our house for sale. Both of us immediately knew we were going to use Chris early on in our meeting with him. Chris and his team went above and beyond to get our house ready to be listed. Minor repairs and pictures were done within a few days of us giving him the green light. We didn't have to do a thing, Chris and his team handled it all! When we finally accepted an offer, we had a pretty difficult buyer. There were a lot of hoops to jump through because of this. There were a few times when we were within a week of closing that it seemed like the whole deal was going to fall apart. Instead of it being an extremely stressful process, we put our trust in Chris to get it handled. He did just that! He will never leave you feeling like you're in the dark about anything. He's extremely personable and communicative. If we weren't moving to a different state, he would zero question be our choice to help us find a new house. Anyone in the central Iowa market looking to buy or sell would be silly to use anyone else!

Communication . Chris and his team did a great job marketing our property. We received and accepted an offer within a week of listing. We were going to be out of town at time of closing. Chris worked with us so that documents could be signed so that closing didn't have to be delayed.

Chris and his team do an amazing job start-to-finish with both the home selling & home buying process. He was able to assist me with a fairly quick turnaround between the sale of my home and the purchase of a new one. He provided expert advice when it came to staging, home repairs, and negotiation considerations. He demonstrated on multiple occasions that he was willing to go above and beyond to assist however he could, and ultimately helped me get a great deal on both sides. Would strongly recommend.

He is genuinely helping, exceptional y professional, greatly caring about details, and extremely kind and thoughtful to us at the same time. I strongly recommend him and his company as your agents if you think buying or selling your property. You won’t be disappointed by this recommendation.

First time home buyer . I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Chris and his team. He was very responsive and answered all the questions I had. He walked me through what I needed to know as a first time home buyer and had great recommendations to help me along the process from the start through after I closed with local contractors I could use for projects. I felt like I was in good hands with him. While I don't anticipate buying another house I would highly recommend him to anyone.
