We can't thank Katie Riedeman enough. She was very professional, knowledgeable and a real pleasure to work with throughout the sale of our home. In fact, we had a buyer within 1-day after the house was officially listed. We can't THANK Katie enough for her guidance and expertise. I highly recommend her!!
Katie was referred to me by family and now I know why. She is a perfect example of someone who loves what they do and is amazing at it. If I had questions, she was patient, took time to explain, or gave me a great resource to refer to if she wasn't sure of the answer. Her attention to detail was second to none, as she made sure she kept my initial interests in mind during our search. She always made time for me, reviewed everything and explained paperwork so well, and always made sure I felt confident in the process. I am so impressed by the experience I had and am now looking for friends and family I can refer to Katie!
Katie had tremendous attention to detail when it came to house tours. She ensured the house we purchased had a solid foundation, was in a great location, and appropriately priced. There were a few homes we went and toured that Katie completely picked apart, she explained what was wrong with the house and how it could be a potential problem for us down the road. This gave us more and more confidence as the tours continued because we knew we had a realtor that wasn't just trying to sell a house for the commission, but rather ensure that our investment went into a solid home that we will one day start a family in. After our offer was accepted on the house, Katie was a great resource to go to for recommendations (Home insurance, Home inspector, etc.) and all of the questions a first time home buyer has! I was recommended Katie when we started looking for our first home and have recommended her to family and friends ever since because we know that Katie will give them the experience they deserve!
Katie was very knowledgeable & helpful throughout the home buying process, especially as we were first time home buyers. She was very attentive to detail & very quick to respond & answer all questions we had very promptly! She helped explain each step & was a great communicator with all parties involved making the whole process go very smoothly. We are so thankful for her!
The short version - Katie Riedeman is phenomenal! The long version - The entire home buying experience was new to us, and on occasion, overwhelming. Katie is professional, yet relaxed, knowledgeable and reassuring. She made sure we were prepared each step of the way and was always on top of things. There was never a time where we felt like she did not have our best interest in mind. She listens and takes the time to ensure you feel comfortable. We never felt pressured to make a decision and once we did, she made the entire closing process such a breeze. Always kept us updated and has the best recommendations from the home inpector to the title company. The best part of all, closing on our house has not meant we are on our own! Katie has checked in on us multiple times and helped with a home warranty hiccup we had. We couldn't recommend her enough!
Katie was very professional and explained everything to us in a simple and timely manner. Her communication and suggestions throughout the process eliminated much of the stress that went with selling our home. Katie was very considerate and accommodating of our schedule, our kids, and our pets when setting up meetings.
I felt Katie was very knowledgeable of the home buying process and areas to watch out for when inspecting the house. Further, she gave great recommendations for lenders and a homeowners insurance agent that i ended up selecting. One item that didn't meet my expectation was the lack of house listings I received from Katie which was most likely due to her area of expertise of Ames/Ankeny. I felt most of the initiative to find houses in the DSM area weighed heavily on myself. Overall, a very positive experience working with Katie and would recommend her.
