- what people are saying -

"Kris helped my wife and I find our home in Ankeny completely virtually in a market that was difficult. What impressed me most was she sought to find out what we wanted in a home and why, made sure to point out anything that would need to be addressed and repaired so there were no surprises, and because of her connections, got us to see the house we ended up buying before it came back on the market. She advised and guided us to a successful closing, and we are so thankful we went with Kris!" - Paul

"Kris is extremely knowledgeable,  helpful, and kind. She understood our goals and objectives and worked so hard to ensure we had the best experience we could. Highly recommend her and her team!" - Kristen

"Kris and her team made selling our home easy; she is honest and straightforward.  We recommend her agency to anyone looking to sell or buy in the Ankeny area." - Terri

"In dealing with several different real estate agents over the years Kris has exceeded our expectations of service and professionalism when we sold our home. She has an innate ability to connect with her clients and has an extensive network within the region.
