JJ Johannes was an excellent realtor who made the process of selling our home go smoothly after we moved out of state. His video recording of the comparative market analysis was very helpful as we could re-watch parts of it when we had questions. He also discovered discrepancies between our condo's previous square footage sales listings and the actual square footage of our condo as listed on the assessor's website which allowed us to set a higher asking price and showed us that he had thoroughly researched our property. He was professional, punctual and communicated very well. We would highly recommend him to anyone selling property in Cedar Rapids!
We lived in another community an hour away where we wanted to relocate. JJ sent us targeted alerts when properties came on the market, and previewed some of them for us when we couldnt come ourselves. His knowledge of builders and their strengths was very detailed. He handled the negotiations and the closing on our property very professionally, and with very little stress on our part. We recommend him very highly as a real estate professional one can trust.
JJ was extremely knowledgable concerning the realty market in the Cedar Rapids/Marion area. He answered our questions in a timely fashion and always kept us up to date and involved in the negotiations. He was very pleasant and never made us feel that we were being an imposition when showing us property and took the time to talk with us and explain the positive and negative of each property. We had complete confidence in him as we were moving here from out of town. We would highly recommend him as their realtor as he made the process go smoothly for us.
JJ was a pleasure to work with. He is extremely knowledgeable in the real estate business. He was able to not only sell our house the day it it the market, but also get us multiple offers. His expertise is tremendous. We would highly recommend JJ to anyone looking to buy or sell property.
We love JJ! he has been our Realtor for the purchase of two homes now and we have never been happier with the services provided! The last home purchase was made with us out of State and JJ went above and beyond to ensure our happiness with our new home
I started working with JJ in 2020 to sell my mother's house after she passed away. JJ provided other properties in the area that were for sale (for comparison) and gave me an idea of how much we could ask for the house. He had some great ideas on how to create interest in the house. In August 2020, the derecho storm hit - so repairs were needed (and time-consuming). In late 2021, we were ready to sell, and JJ did a great job listing the house, including the write-up and photos, and was always responsive to my texts and emails. He was especially helpful in guiding me through the negotiations after we received an offer and getting us to the finish line (closing date in early January 2022)! I would absolutely recommend JJ to anyone who is selling their house!
JJ was absolutely amazing to work with. My fiancA(C) and I had never bought a house before; JJ made it easy. JJ was always available for questions, great at explaining how everything worked, was straight forward with everything you asked, he was always letting you know how the process was going, and was first class professional through and through. I would highly recommend using JJ. Not only did he make the whole buying a house process easy, he also made it stress free, and fun. Could not be more pleased with him and all he does. He truly cares for his clients and is a great man. Thank you so much JJ!!!
JJ was amazing in helping us find our new home. He worked with our schedule and handled all of the negotiations. He made the home buying process a great experience and I would highly recommend him to anyone in the Cedar Rapids or Iowa city area that is looking to purchase or sell a property.
JJ helped us buy our home. He was very thorough and patient with all of our questions as first time homebuyers. He was very helpful in guiding us through the negotiation process in determining a final purchase price.
JJ helped us sell our home in under 12 hours and over asking price. We have worked with JJ for the last four years. We have been casually looking for a home for the last several years in the area, and JJ has always had time for us when we wanted to see a place. He has been very patient with us and has always given us honest assessments. We decided to move out of state and knew that JJ was the right choice to help us sell our home. After 8 hours on the market, we had two offers and one over asking price. What more can you ask for! JJ is very professional and easy to work with. We are very happy with our experience with JJ and we would definitely recommend him for your real estate needs.
JJ is very knowledgeable about the real estate market in Cedar Rapids and the surrounding areas. He is professional, honest, and a pleasure to work with. We would definitely refer him to family and friends and will use him for all of our future real estate needs.
JJ was very knowledgeable. He spent a lot of time and effort to determine an accurate price for our acreage. Our property sold in a matter of days for full asking price. We highly recommend JJ. for any real estate transaction.
I simply cannot say enough great things about working with JJ! JJ had my best interest from day 1. He is hard working, diligent, and trustworthy. I highly recommend him and I would absolutely go with him again!
Very easy to work with! There have obviously been some setbacks in 2020 and he continued on with business as normal and got our house sold pretty quickly.
Went above and beyond to help with sale. Had to deal with storm damage that happened before closing. Did branch removal and wasp removal. Very personable! House sold very fast and I did not need any fancy skills. When putting on the market, he made excellent suggestions, which we followed and it came out great. Knows the local market very well!
JJ Was great to work with! He was attentive to our needs and wants and went above and beyond to help us get into the perfect home. This was our first time buying a house and we were full of questions and there was so much we didn't know. JJ went out of his way many times to educate us on the process and all together was just an open and honest man. We couldn't have asked for a better Agent!
We initially met with Tim to get some basic information on FSBO vs going through a realtor. He gave us an unbiased breakdown of the pros and cons for both sides and was very straight forward. He didnt try to sell himself as our realtor, instead he provided us with alot of good information and answered all of our question and that ended up selling us on having him as our realtor
We had a great experience when listing and selling our home. When we first met, there was no pressure and we could use as little or as much of the options that were available through their company. The listing was fantastic with drone footage of our property and great videos of interior. Sale went through smoothly.
Working with JJ and eXp Realty was a fantastic experience from start to finish. JJ walked me through the entire process, which made my first-time home buying experience a breeze!He took the time to explain everything thoroughly and made sure I never felt pressured.JJ is incredibly knowledgable, patient, and responsive. He iseasy to work with and he consistently went above and beyond to make the home-buying process enjoyable and as stress-free as possible.
JJ was always professional, on time and answered all calls immediately. As a senior citizen I was treated with kindness and patience. I was impressed with his attention to detail and knowledge or the real estate business. I would recommend him.
Great to work with. Handled everything very professionally. Tried to sell on our own for a month, switched over to Tim and sold the house in 1 day. Don't hesitate to give him a call, couldn't be happier with the whole process.
JJ was wonderful to work with! He is very knowledgeable and helped us through the process. He did a great job helping us negotiate the sale of our home quickly. Highly recommend JJ and the IAHomes team!
JJ looks out for your best interest in the entire transaction! Keeps things running smoothly from start to finish. Understand markets to help negotiate, willing to text throughout his busy work and home life. I would recommend JJ to anyone, anyday.
Very friendly and with great knowledge and demeanor. Didn't feel rushed through any properties or pressured during the process and was available over text which helped communication if we had any questions. Helped us find a home and quickly too!
Working with JJ from IA homes has been very smooth from start to finish. He knows the market and makes the process easy to understand. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for a great and honest realtor!!
My fiance and I worked closely with J.J. for about 6 months before finding our home. During that time he was extremely patient with us and always there to help us through the process. We made several offers on homes during our search ( that were not accepted for a multitude of different reasons) and each of the offers were customized, well thought out, and types of offers that I had never seen before. He took the time to make sure each situation we were putting ourselves in the best position to get the house. I highly recommend J.J. and the IA Homes Realty team to anyone looking for a new home. They made a process which is usually frustrating and stressful, one that was fun and enjoyable.
My husband and I listed our home with IA homes recently, and could not have had a more wonderful and positive experience. Our home sold incredibly quickly, and we were in a very tight spot to find a new one that would work for us and FAST. JJ was incredibly helpful, kind, positive, and very knowledgable about the entire process, guiding us through everything quickly and with ease. I cannot imagine listing our home any other way in the future, as we had SUCH a fantastic experience. The entire process was seamless and easy, and much of that was because of JJ's expertise and knowledge.

It was such an easy and enjoyable process with JJ at IA Homes! He was very flexible when showing all the house tours and gave honest feedback. I would highly recommend working with him and IA Homes when trying to find your dream home!

I have always heard from friends and co-workers how stressful the home buying process is, but Kelli made it such a breeze! Anything I needed taken care of or had questions about she was there to help. I would highly recommend her to anyone, I don't know how I would've gotten through this process without her!

Stuck through it with us no matter how difficult sellers were getting, understood the difference between our wants and our needs. Had no issues expressing concerns in areas that needed expressing and was always quick to respond back to messages.
Superior customer service paired with knowledge and realism guided us on our way to selling our home in 31 hours. Everyone involved has been amazing and Id sell this way again in a heartbeat! Best of wishes all our Iowa Folk. Off to Texas!
JJ is awesome to work with. JJ listens very well, and is able to match the desires of clients with the right inventory to make the home search process less complicated. JJ recently helped my wife and I save money on the sale of our personal home by offering flexible payment arrangements for his services, which allows flexibility and options. JJ went above and beyond. Without us even being at the closing, everything went exactly as JJ had described. We became friends throughout the process of working with JJ over the past few years, and it's pleasing to say in addition to his real estate expertise, he is flat out a nice person.
JJ was wonderful to work with. Our family schedule is pretty hectic and he was always very responsive at any communication Avenue that worked best for me. He also did a wonderful job walking through the process with us. I always felt comfortable with his answers and honest feedback. I will gladly recommend him to anyone that will listen!
Was debating which real estate service to go with when selling our house in Robins, IA. Decided to go with IAHomes' flat fee level of service and was lucky enough to get to work with JJ. Our house sold fairly quickly at a low-point in the year. It's clear that JJ has a lot of experience as a real estate agent and made sure everything was good to go through the entire process. Would highly recommend working with JJ and IAHomes.
Awesome to work with! Really listened to what we were looking for and found houses that fit those specifications. Quick to get us into the newest houses hitting the market.
I have only had the opportunity thruout my life to deal with just a handful of Real Estate Agents - I'm remembering 6. I have to say, with all honesty, JJ is the best of them. JJ was always there with answers when we had questions. JJ took the time to hear us out-always. I not once felt like he was pushy-wanting us to just pick something so he could make his commission,and move on to the next sale. We did-slightly put him through the ringer on our flip-flopping of a house we thought we wanted-but not once did I feel like we upset him. We really felt like he was concerned with how we felt. I'm not sure if I should mention this, but JJ even pitched in with a cost that we could not cover to make the deal go thru for us. JJ is a Professional, and most of all, a kind person.
