Jared is knowledgeable about the Ames market, really easy to work with, and think of the best interest of all parties involved in the buying/selling experience.

Jared was absolutely great! He is extremely knowledgeable about homes, and was able to point out components of homes we never would have known had he not been there. He was very approachable and really worked to find us homes that fit within our budget and style preferences. He was communicative, pleasant, and provided us with meaningful feedback when we asked for it. Put simply, it didn't feel like it was just about the money with Jared. I have felt that way with other agents, and my experience with Jared was tangibly different, in the best kind of way.

Because of Jared and his team's planning and advice given to us, our home sold quickly. Therefore, there was no need for advertising and open houses. Special thanks to Jared and Katie for all the advice they provided us, which resulted in a quick sale. Jared Van Cleave is a very upstanding man, I highly value his integrity, knowledge, all while being polite and understanding of our wants/needs.

Jared Van Cleave and Katie Riedeman were excellent and very patient to work with. We worked with Jared and Katie for 3.5 years before we found our dream home. They were extremely patient with us the whole time, which was great since we were being very picky. A complete pleasure to work with. I will recommend them to my friends.

Jared has been a friend for years now, so it was an obvious choice of who to call when my wife and I were looking to buy our first house! Jared was knowledgeable of the area and just about everything to look for in and out of the house. He’s personable, professional, quick to respond and always available to talk with questions big or small. Jared (and Katie) make the home buying process easy! Ali and I would recommend Jared and his staff over and over again to anyone looking to buy a house. His track record proves it, Jared is simply one of the best!

Jared was a great choice for us in both finding a property and selling a property. He has a good knowledge about the local market and was very helpful to us as out of town buyers/sellers. He and his team made the transactions very smooth and quick. We would highly recommend Jared (and Katie) to anyone.

Jared is everything we wanted in a realtor. He consistently showed he cared and had our best interests in mind. He was also able to share his expertise in a way that we felt like we learned more and were more comfortable after each interaction.
