I put my house on the market in October. I signed a three-month contract with…. We had many open houses. A lot of them were unplanned. During the month of Dec. we did not so much as receive a phone call to express interest in our property. When January rolled around and my contract had expired with…. , We decided to go with Iowa Realty.

I chose Ivan Brehmer as our agent. I met Ivan the previous year while looking at open houses. I was so impressed by his knowledge of the market and the way in which he handled the open house. He was the most prepared agent I have ever run across. I asked for his card and a year later despite knowing several agents I chose Ivan. He put my house on the market January 7th. On January 27th we met him in his office for the presentation of not one but two offers.

We have discovered it is not the just the money you need to be concerned with but the listing agent. In case you haven’t realized it by now, we are very impressed with Ivan and his company. I would not consider signing with anyone else at any price.

Dear Ivan,

Claudia and I want to express again our appreciation for all the good work and effort that you put into the sale of our acreage. We really feel that you performed "above and beyond the call of duty" and we are very grateful.

From your initial visit, through the open house, all the details of the closing, and beyond, you were always well prepared and informed as well as friendly and conscientious. We also really appreciated the time you took to keep us advised of developments all throughout the process.

While we are sure no house sale could ever be called easy, your services really made this as painless as ewe could hope.

Thank You

Rick and Claudia Jordan
