Chris was great every step of the way in our house buying process. He communicated with me very well, helped tremendously with negotiating, and I loved the step by step email he sent me outlining next steps after having our offer accepted. He was very flexible with his time showing me houses and texting me updates. I appreciate everything he do for us and would definitely recommend him to my friends and family!
Chris is an experienced, well-connected, and personable professional! He helped us find our home this past month, and was excellent to work with from day one. From the original intake discussion, and home search setup, to the closing - Chris was on top of every detail. Finding a realtor that understands your wants/needs, but also one you jive with seemed intimidating as we first started our home buying search. But as soon as we met with Chris, we knew we made the right decision in having him guide us through this process. Here are some things we thought Chris did really well: +Understanding Took the time to understand our needs and wants in our property so each one we saw/considered was a good use of time. +Attention to detail: He arrived at each showing ready to share details of the property, and walked thru the home with a keen eye for potential issues/problems +Negotiation: We had a couple rounds of negotiation with the sellers, and Chris did an excellent job representing us to get the deal done. +Guidance: This is the second home we've bought, so we were looking for guidance on the process from start to finish, and Chris delivered. From recommendations to updates on next steps, Chris was always ready to provide feedback.
Chris went above and beyond with helping us buy our first home. I trusted his judgement 100% becuase he was always very honest on when there was a good thing or negative thing about a house, and I knew he definitely had our best interest in mind. He also went above and beyond negotiating our closing costs and getting us the best deal possible.
Chris was great to work with. He is knowledgeable, down-to-earth, and communicates well. He made some good suggestions, worked hard showing our house, and negotiated a sale price we're very happy with. A good friend recommended Chris, and based on our experience, I would recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent realtor.
Chris was great to work with. He is professional, timely, and knowledgeable. We really appreciate feeling like valued clients and not just a number in the book. He always took our calls and answered our (many) questions patiently. Chris is a great negotiator and has all the best contacts which was very valuable. Would highly recommend working with him for your next purchase or sale!
Bought my first house with Chris Chiaramonte and sold that house a few years later with Chris, so I've seen him handle both sides of the sale. Was great to work with both times and would recommend him to anyone in the area looking for a realtor. Very responsive and helpful for all of my basic, first-time questions. Thanks Chris!
I met Chris by chance when I attended an open house I found on Zillow and was still in the daydreaming stage of buying a house. He was welcoming and when I told him I was very early in my first home buying experience, he went out of his way to educate me on the process, set expectations, and made me confident in the process all while letting me form my own opinions and was never overbearing or pushy. Chris was a strong advocate for me during the process and I look forward to using him again in the future.
It turned out that our home had several structural problems. Plus, we had an incident where a tree fell on the house during a windstorm. There were many repairs that needed to be done. And Chris always knew the right technician who could do it for a good price. This was invaluable help
Chris was great! Very helpful selling my home. He was responsive and knowledgeable about the area. Helped price it right for a quick sale too! 10/10 would recommend!
I am from California and Chris went out of his way to assist! He did walk throughs of houses, took videos and sent them to me while I was in California.He advised me of the various neighborhoods and which neighborhoods would be a better fit for me. And so much more! Cant say enough good things about Chris. He was professional, gracious and a pleasure to work with!
Chris has been absolutely great to work with in the process of selling our home. His thoroughness and follow up have been most outstanding, his patience fabulous, his advice and professionalism excellent in every way. My sister put us in touch with Chris, and we have thanked her many times and will recommend him to anyone needing help with buying or selling a home.
Chris was very knowledgeable and professional in selling our home. Our home was on the market for two days before being sold. Chris worked with us through the whole process and was quick to respond to all questions. This was our third house to sell and by far the easiest because of Chris and his efforts. I would highly recommend him.
Chris went above and beyond in order to accommodate our needs. Since we were purchasing remotely, Chris was integral in doing much of the research ahead of us. This included investing his time and energy in finding homes to look at, looking at houses ahead of us so we weren't wasting our time while visiting, and providing very helpful feedback to make sure we were staying true to our desired attributes. Chris was very kind, patient, and went above and beyond to advocate and provide support when needed.
Chris has been our realtor both times we have moved. We would highly recommend working with him! He has great and clear communication and is extremely knowledgeable about the current market. Often times we asked for his advice and we appreciated his insight. He truly wants the best for his clients!
I want to say a big thank you to Chris Chiaramonte for helping us buy and sell our homes. From the very beginning, Chris was super dedicated to helping us out every step of the way. He really understood what we were looking for in a house and helped us figure out exactly what we wanted. We went from not looking to making an offer within a few days which I'm sure a lot of work for Chris in a short time but he was always willing to help and was ready to go. Chris was always patient and never made us feel like our questions were silly. He made sure we fully understood everything and gave us all the info we needed. Not only was he good at his job, but he was also really nice to work with. He was always friendly and had a smile on his face. It was clear he was ready to help us out whenever we needed it. In short, Chris Chiaramonte was amazing to work with. He made buying and selling houses easy and enjoyable. He's the kind of real estate pro you want to work with, and we're really thankful for his help.
Chris did an amazing job! He is very knowledgeable of the local market and did a great job marketing the property. Chris was always available when we needed him and provided so much more service than other realtors I have dealt with in the past. I was very pleased with the entire experience and will definitely use him again the next time I need to sell.
This is the second time we worked with Chris! First time buying and this time selling! Chris is a great guy, very personable, knows what he is doing and super fun! Have you seen his videos?! Check them out! He made our selling process super easy! Definitely recommend!!
Chris was everything we could've asked for and more in a real estate agent. He represented our best interests and communicated with us in a timely and professional manner. We will recommend him to all our family and friends!
Chris is without a doubt the best around. Not only is he a FANTASTIC realtor, but also such a kind soul. Ive worked with him since 2015 in the purchase of my first home, to now the sale of that same home! I would not have been able to do any of it without him!
What a fabulous journey this has been with Chris! Challenging time to buy but Chris provided every possible opportunity and we found the right place for me. It was effortless because he knows the market and the greater Des Moines communities so well. In this crazy market, I would highly recommend working with Chris when buying or selling a home.
Chris Chiaramonte is a man of integrity! He is persistent in working the sale of your home. He's the most creative agent, love the tik tok video of our home (check out all his videos)! When searching for a home he encourages you, keeps you focused on goals and when you say, "we can make this work", he encourages you to keep looking and not settling for just anything. He makes the closing run smoothly. We would recommend him and if the need arises we would definitely use his services in the future. We love our new home.
Chris is a great realtor who knows his stuff and helped make our transition seamless. He went out of his way to negotiate and assist in all the small details. Would definitely recommend him if you are in the market to buy or sell.
We have bought two houses and sold one with Chris, and had a great experience each time! When purchasing, Chriss expert negotiating skills got us a great deal on each house. When we sold our home, Chriss strong relationships with other realtors helped us find a buyer (at asking price!) two weeks before we had planned to put our house on the market. Chris is friendly and knowledgeable, and wed work with him again in a heartbeat.
Chris has served as our realtor for multiple moves through different stages of life transitions (in 2014, 2017, and 2019), helping us buy and sell homes at the same time. He is patient, listened to our wants and needs, helped us with realistic expectations, made himself available at each phase, and ultimately helped us get our desired homes AND sell our homes (over asking price). With our sales, we were able to secure offers over-asking price on just day 1 of listing. Chris helped make these experiences hassle-free and as easy as possible. Couldn't recommend him more highly!
Chris provided his knowledge of home buying whenever we ran into questions. We pretty much told him that we did not want to lose the house we wanted so he pulled out all the stops and put an escalating offer in place. I did not know that was possible. In the end, he put us in our dream home. Good job Chris!
Chris has been an excellent resource showing me houses over the pass couple years. I'm a first-time home buyer, and I've been looking at finally pulling the trigger to buy a house. Unfortunately, my hectic schedule with work makes my home-life always take a backseat to getting much done for myself. Chris has always been incredibly cordial and has absolutely bent over backwards for me whenever I see a listings which catches my ADHD-eyes. I greatly appreciate how he's been willing to show properties, even though I'm yet to find my dream house. He (and Century 21) get very high ratings in my book for the amount of effort they put in for the clients. Thank-you very much!!
Chris was pleasant, knowledgable, available, and helpful throughout our home buying process. He communicated promptly, was encouraging, and advocated for us throughout. His knowledge helped us feel much more comfortable buying a home. We highly recommend Chris!

Chris did an awesome job coordinating the sale of our home and purchase of our new home. He was very quick to respond to all communications and made our process as smooth as possible. Highly recommend!
Chris exceeded all expectations I had in selling my condo. Before listing my place I was apprehensive as I had a lot of trouble selling it in the past, but then Chris came along and sold it in a month for the full price! I was over 1000 miles away while the place was listed, and the whole process was shockingly easy. Chris maintained regular contact with me throughout the process, and handled everything so quickly it blew my mind. I'll recommend him to any friends or family, and if I move back into the area he'll be the first person I call.
I have known Chris for a few years, and I was fully aware of his integrity and desire to go above and beyond for the people he works for at his work and in his personal life. Choosing Chris was an easy choice.We had multiple road bumps from different buyers. Chris was amazing in how he handled each hurdle and how he guided my wife and I to proceed. I am very thankful we had Chris working with us.Responses to emails, text messages, and phone calls were extremely quick and informative. I am still amazed at how reachable he was. Chris displayed amazing communication skills, and it was a relief to have him to answer questions and provide advice.Selling a house was stressful. Chris provided amazing guidance and made it so much easier to deal with throughout the entire process.
Chris is a friendly, good-natured, down to earth professional who cares about getting things done right. He kept me informed and made the the sale of my home a refreshingly simple process.
I'm a first-time home buyer. Though I was a bit stressed, Chris remained understanding, honest, and upbeat. Zero pressure working with him! He understood my budget and respected it. Chris took his time and never made me feel like I was being slow in my decision-making process. He followed up throughout the process and made sure I was taken care of.
Chris is a rockstar. Super responsive. We never had to wait around for an answer to a question or a request for a showing. We always had complete confidence he knew what he was talking about and that he'd steer us in the right direction on every step of the process.
It would be an understatement to say that Chris Chiaramonte put in the time outside of "regular business hours" to help us buy our house. On the day we put in an offer, the seller received a second offer a few hours later. We spoke with Chris over the phone and via text many times that evening discussing the details of our counter-offer, which we made about an hour later. He helped calm our heightened emotions and provided insight when we needed it most. It meant a lot to us that he stayed up well into the evening negotiating on our behalf and helping us ultimately buy our house. Chris also worked diligently after the purchase to gather documents and ensure that all of the purchase requirements were met in a timely fashion. He was a joy to work with and answered all of our questions (or searched to find the answer) with impeccable responsiveness.
I recognized Chris' photo and name on Zillow as we attend the same church. I contacted Chris to assist me in the sale of my condo. It was sold within 24 hours of listing it online. Chris was very professional in handling the sale, along with answering all my questions in a timely manner and keeping me up to date with the steps in the closing process.
Chris was excellent to work with. He has a great knowledge of the area. Negotiation was quick and easy. I had put off selling my house because I was dreading all the hassle, but that was really all for nothing, Chris made it painless! Would highly recommend him!
Chris Chiaramonte is more than just a Real Estate Agent, he is truly a respectful, intelligent, knowledgeable person that will have your genuine interest at heart! Our experience with Chris will not be forgotten and we HIGHLY recommend him to anyone searching for their forever home!!!
Chris was top notch in all areas, and we had a wonderful experience with him. His response time is great, he is personable, friendly, and will help you find what you want.
Chris did a great job through the long and tedious process of helping me buy a home that was a short sale. He stayed on top of things through the whole process and I was very satisfied with the help and advice throughout the sale. I would definitely recommend him to all others.
Chris is an excellent realtor. This is not simply my opinion, this is supported objectively by the facts of our sale and purchase:(1) The sale of our home was for for the price we listed... and not a penny less.(2) He found a buyer within 24 hours. (3) We purchased our new home for the lowest price possible.(4) We set a closing target date and were moving in by noon that day.He made our sale and purchase easy! Chris is also friendly, easy to work with, and highly professional. He doesn't pressure his clients, but is still assertive on your behalf.
Chris Chiaramonte is a professional, friendly and awesome guy to work with. He showed us countless houses before we found the perfect one. The process went so smoothly and we would recommend Chris to anyone! He is the best!
We could not have imagined listing our house without Chris. Selling a house can often be a very stressful process, and with Chris, selling our house was near stress free due to all the efforts he made to promptly respond to any questions and concerns we had. He was clear, thorough and made certain everything was understood throughout the whole process. We would not want to sell a house without him and cannot recommend him enough.
This was my first time buying a house. Chris made the process a lot simpler than what I thought it would be. He answered all my questions and never made me feel like I was alone. He was also very flexible with my schedule.
Chris always listened to our requests and was willing to do whatever we wanted to do in the sale and purchase of our new home. He also gave us great advice on how to deal with both aspects of our transaction. He was always accessible to us and made sure our best interest was always protected. He was patient and helped us stay calm in a very stressful process. He went above and beyond in every aspect of the sale and purchase of our home!
For a first time home buyer I could not have asked for a better agent than Chris. He knew the market when I was searching for a house and gave honest answers on all questions. He fought hard for me during negotiations and made me feel like I was important at all times. Chris went above and beyond and made himself available whenever he was needed. Chris was always quick to return my calls, texts and emails in both a professional and friendly way. Any question I had, not only did Chris give an answer, but made sure I fully understood his answer and asked me follow up questions on the same topic to make sure we covered all areas I was not familiar with. I will be recommending Chris to everyone I know!
Chris was an amazing realtor! He came to us highly recommended. He answered all of our questions no matter how silly they seemed. As first time home buyers, there were many. If he didn't know, he found out and got back to us very quickly. He was very personable and friendly. I would buy a house again tomorrow (if I could afford it) just to use Chris!
I am a frist time home buyer and Chris made it easy by explaining the process, being patient with me and being there every step of the way. He was able to get back to emails and texts within 24 hours. I would highly recommend him as a realtor.
Chris Chiaramonte is a wonderful realtor as well as a person. He is outstanding. He is so nice, relatable and personable. He is always a text or phone call away, and responds fast. He is very intelligent and always had answers to my questions, and if he didn't he would find them. He helped give us insight on the house buying process and also helped us find what we really wanted in a house. He didn't push us into buying a house or make us feel pressured to buy one. It felt like he was a friend we've known forever. I like that he was more on the friendly side rather than super professional and uptight. I would highly recommend him to anyone, and will be choosing him as our realtor for our next house!
