ZillowVERIFIEDKathy Swanson did an excellent job helping us find our forever home! She was very quick to respond whenever we called or texted, and even provided personal walk-through videos for properties we inquired about. This was especially helpful since we lived about 2 hours away from where we were looking to purchase a home! When we finally found our forever home, Kathy not only prepared our offer, but 4 addendems as well. I would definately recommend Kathy and her real-estate expertise to anyone looking to buy/sell a home!

ZillowVERIFIED Super communicative, knowledgeable, efficient, and easy to work with. Kathy's experience really showed through. Really appreciated her sense of what homes were a good value versus overpriced. So glad we found Kathy to help us buy our house!

ZillowVERIFIED We cannot recommend Kathy Swanson highly enough! Buying and selling a home can be stressful and unpredictable, but Kathy made the entire process feel manageable from start to finish. She was always available when we needed her, incredibly knowledgeable about the areas we were searching, and brought the kind of experience that really matters when unexpected challenges came up. No matter what was thrown our way, Kathy remained calm, found solutions, kept everything on track, and made sure we felt supported throughout the process. Her support staff was also fantastic and made the entire experience even smoother. What impressed us most was how willing Kathy was to go above and beyond for us. At one point she practically became Dog the Bounty Hunter, tracking down information and answers we needed! She genuinely works for her clients and doesnt hesitate to put in the extra effort. We are so grateful we had Kathy in our corner. In our opinion, there is no one better to help you navigate the stressful process of buying or selling a home. We would choose her again without hesitation!

ZillowVERIFIED Kathy is very professional and very knowledgeable about selling the house. She was extremely helpful with all aspects of the sale process. She made sure that all parties were protected and all paperwork was in order to complete the sale. She made sure that all inspections were made on time for the sale to run smoothly.

ZillowVERIFIED Kathy and Jeremy were a great team from the get go. We didn't know any realtors in the area of my In-Laws house, but Jeremy had left a package of information on the front porch. We researched them and agreed they were our pick to help us through the sale. They always treated us as people first. Had great ideas to incorporate in the house and even though it was about 7 months from first meeting to actual listing - they were always open to discuss/meet with any questions/concerns we had along the way. Their expertise came to fruition when we sold the house one week after listing, and they stayed in touch to ensure a smooth transition. Would 100% recommend Kathy and Jeremy for selling your home.

ZillowVERIFIED I cannot emphasize enough how much of a relief it is navigating buying and selling under the expert support of a realtor like Kathy. Every step planned out and explained, every random question I had answered.

Review for Member: Kathy Swanson
ZillowVERIFIED Kathy did an excellent job of informing me & my partner of what we need to do to purchase a home. She was very direct and explanatory in what we should/should not do, and incredibly responsive to any questions we had. She was very fast with getting us into the market & showing us as many houses as she could with incredibly helpful insight. If/when we have to buy a house in the area again, I will absolutely go back to Kathy!

ZillowVERIFIED After not having the best luck with other realtors, working with Kathy was a breath of fresh air. She truly got the job done and went above and beyond every step of the way. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely had our best interests at heart.

ZillowVERIFIED I was referred to Kathy to be my realtor in Carlisle, and from the beginning she was great to work with! She is friendly, personable, knows the Iowa market, and honest about expectations. Kathy was super communicative with setting expectations, and (most importantly), she was able to get my house sold quickly from across state lines. I would highly recommend Kathy and her team for your realtor needs!

ZillowVERIFIED Kathy and her team did an amazing job helping us find a new home in Ankeny. She got to know us, which allowed her to recommend listings that met our needs. She was readily available to us to show us properties, answer questions, and lead us through the process.

ZillowVERIFIED We have worked with Kathy for the last eight years. We purchased a new home in2017 in this area. We have bought two homes with Kathy. She knows the area and cities well. If she doesn't know the answer she will get the answer and call you back. She has showed us houses in the summer, winter and has even walked a gang plank for us. She is a go getter and ALWAYS has your best interest in mind. Always prompt.

ZillowVERIFIED Kathy was great to work with in purchasing our house Ankeny. She answered all of our questions and we never felt like we were rushed in making decisions. She explained all aspects of submitting the offer through closing. She went over potential impacts on inspection and what to look for. Overall a very positive experience from Kathy and I would definitely recommend her as a realtor to anyone.

ZillowVERIFIED Kathy is the realtor you should work with! My husband and I are both 24 and were looking to buy our first home. We were worried about a realtor trying to take advantage of us because of our age and inexperience in the market. Kathy invited us into her office for an educational meeting to explain what buying a house looked like, with no pressure. We both left feeling like we understood what we should expect and what we needed to do to prepare for buying a home. Several months later, when we felt ready to start touring houses, we reached out to Kathy. Kathy was a wealth of information and was always honest about the benefits and flaws she saw at each location. She responded to questions and touring requests quickly. My husband and I always felt well-informed and supported. My parents met her at closing, and were blown away by how supportive, knowledgeable, and caring she was! I cannot recommend her more!

ZillowVERIFIED Kathy was a true partner in the home selling/new home search/buying process. During the selling process, she found serious buyers and completed the sale in a short amount of time. During the purchasing process, she took the time to listen, research and locate homes that aligned to what we were looking for. She made both selling and buying a great experience. When we started the new home search, we had done some research on our own, but she was able to find homes that we couldnt locate. In fact, the home we purchased wasnt even listed. Her knowledge of the market and desire to find the home that fit our criteria was second to none. We have worked with other realtors in the past, but never experienced the level of trust, attentiveness and dedication to finding the right home as we did with Kathy! We appreciate the opportunity to have worked with Kathy as well as the chance to get to know her. She will no doubt be the real estate professional we choose for our next home sale and purchase.

ZillowVERIFIED Kathy was amazing through and through. She was professional but at the same time felt like family. She went above and beyond our expectations when finding the perfect home! She never sugar coated anything to try to get a sale but made sure to point out any flaws and that it was the right choice for us. The process was seamless and so smooth because of her and Jess! We will never need to search for another realtor because she is our go to!

ZillowVERIFIED Kathy was SO helpful in the process of purchasing my home! She got me right into the home as soon as I requested to view it, and she was honest about the great (and not so great) aspects of the property. She streamlined the process of negotiating with the seller to mitigate the few not so great aspects so I could make the needed improvements.....it turned out to be a win-win-win. She also made the paperwork aspects of the transaction super easy and convenient. I highly recommend Kathy, whether you are buying or selling your property!

ZillowVERIFIED Kathy is AMAZING!! She spent over a year helping me get my house ready to move. Answered every emergency question immediately. I found a house to buy that wasnt on the market and they refused to sell with a realtor involved. I was extremely uncomfortable moving forward without her but this was the exact perfect house for us. She was able to work some magic and helped the sellers understand why I needed Kathy on my side. She is the best!!! I would have been completely lost without her.

ZillowVERIFIED Kathy goes above and beyond in her approach to getting the transaction closed. She is very friendly, but is focused and a staunch advocate for her clients. I would recommend her to any one interested in buying or selling in the Des Moines metro area. Her team is also friendly and easy to work with. I think I'm getting close to my 150 character minimum, but my first few sentences represent my assessment of Kathy, her agency, and her team. Thank you.

ZillowVERIFIED We chose Kathy AGAIN to help us sell our home while needing to move for a job. She is amazing and did a fantastic job selling our home during this season when school started and interest rates are higher. She is experienced, knowledge, and loves her job AND clients! You will notice the commitment she has to our clients too. We were even able to reach out to her on a few questions on a home we were purchasing in another state, and her feedback was super helpful. Weve worked with other agents over the years and Kathy stands out. Thank you Kathy!

ZillowVERIFIED Kathy Swanson is the best realtor around. She listened to what I wanted and did not push me into anything else. She is fabulous at follow up and when I did not know where to go or who to contact, she or her assistant would find the answers for me. She was with me every step of the way. If I could give her more stars, I would!

ZillowVERIFIED Fantastic! Kathy is super responsive, sometimes sending messages at 9pm on one of my random questions. I was really impressed with her market research when buying and selling a house through her. Beyond that, I remember her pointing out other aspects that I wouldn't have thought of when purchasing (roof age, HVAC condition, electrical box condition and much more). She also throws an awesome annual party for her clients.

ZillowVERIFIED First time homebuyer here. Kathy is the second realtor I've worked with and she is such a breath of fresh air. She is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, kind, positive, and just an overall pleasant ball of energy. I truly felt like I was in the most capable hands. There were times buyer fatigue set in but she didn't let me settle, and she kept me encouraged and accountable to stay on track to find my dream home...which I did! I cannot recommend Kathy enough. 10/10

ZillowVERIFIED Kathy is hands down the most professional, down to earth, hard working person youll ever meet. If you need a real estate agent to represent you good luck finding anyone better than her. She knows the business, shes not pushy but shell give you expert advice, shes kind, and responsive, she is available, and shell get your deal done if youre selling or buying. Kathy helped us buy two homes and sell two homes and we wouldnt have anyone else do the job for us. Shes just simply the best.
