Listed and sold a home • 2026

We had a fantastic experience with Bethany and her team! She was extremely knowledgeable about the local market. She provided targeted feedback that took the guesswork out of preparing the home for sale, and she had terrific connections that allowed us to complete a few projects quickly and affordably. We had a full price offer within 72 hours of listing! Bethany guided us through each step of the sale, minimizing stress and providing updated information and support. Highly recommend!

Helped me buy and sell homes • 2024

It was obvious that Bethany has years of experience and is very personable and professional! My property was a “problem child” but she took the hurdles in stride. She listed my house and represented me on the buy-side, as well. Her and her team pulled off a miracle and I would recommend her without question.

Helped me buy home • Des Moines, IA • 2022

Bethany was absolutely fantastic to work with at every step of the way. I needed this process to be as approachable and hands off as possible as I was starting a new job and had a few other things going on and she handled pretty much everything. The knowledge she has about construction techniques and materials and various potential issues I needed to be concerned about meant that, well, I guess I never actually needed to be concerned about them. Bethany just handled all of that mostly behind the scenes. She helped get the inspection scheduled, helped me get pre-approved for a loan, steered me towards a good lender who were also super responsive and respectful of my time and energy levels. She scheduled the final walkthrough to make sure that the issues identified in the inspection were all taken care of. She made sure that I had the resources I needed to take advantage of the sweet tax abatement for the property.Really she made the process so much easier and more approachable that I really don't think I could've bought this place without her.

Helped me buy home • 2022

It all started with a random zillow listing. Bethany reached out to me, and she is amazing. Together we looked for a home for almost 8 months trying to find the right one. And bethany was there every step of the way. She drove all over the state (in total probably 30 hours or more of driving) helping me find my perfect country home. When it came time to put an offer in. She was helpful in making sure I could make an informed decision. I also appreciated that she understood my needs and wants and was able to communicate then to the sellers. I will be recommending Bethany to anyone I know in the future who is looking to buy/sell a home. Thanks again Bethany!
