Lloyd was professional, reliable and communicated clearly. We understood what was expected of us and were kept informed of every showing. Lloyd is a pleasure to work with. He loves his job and it shows. Delightfully upbeat and fun! His whole team is fantastic.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe had the pleasure of working with Lloyd for both the sale of our home and the build of our new one. Long before we officially entered the market, Lloyd was an invaluable resource, staying in touch to keep us informed on market trends and potential homes that fit our family's needs. When it came time to sell, he guided us through every step to prepare our house for listing, mapping out a strategy, timeline, and realistic pricing scenarios. His listing strategy was tailored to minimize disruption to our busy schedules, and it paid off, we had an accepted offer within three days of our home's first showing. Navigating the new construction process can be overwhelming, while many builders have their own realtor, we wanted to ensure we found the right fit for our family and budget. Lloyd stepped right inaEUR"scheduling builder meetings, coming along to take notes, and touring floor plans to help us narrow down what we truly wanted. Throughout the inevitable ups and downs of building, he advocated for us, maintained clear communication, and helped us navigate every unknown. Lloyd was an incredible resource from start to finish and a genuinely caring personaEUR"even dropping off a moving-day book for our young children on closing day. We couldnt be more grateful for his support and highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy, sell, or build!

ZillowVERIFIED The Flanders Realty Team was so great to work with. Buying a home is very stressful, but Lloyd & his team go the extra mile to make the process a lot smoother. I highly recommend them and will definitely use their services again in the future.

ZillowVERIFIED Lloyd and his team were absolutely wonderful. My sister and I were first-time home owners and worked with Lloyd both buying and selling our home. Everyone we worked with as part of Lloyd's team was incredibly friendly and helpful, quickly responding to all of our many questions and keeping in touch during our time as homeowners. We moved out of state while selling our home and completely trusted Lloyd's team to handle everything for us.

Review for Member: Lloyd Flanders
ZillowVERIFIED Lloyd was great to work with! We were relocating from another state so his help was invaluable. He was a great listener and directed us to find just the sort of house we were looking for. My husband spent a Saturday in town touring homes with Lloyd, but the rest of our showings were virtual. I did not see our house in person until closing day and am so happy with what we chose. We love the neighborhood, and our home, and it is largely in part to Lloyd and his knowledge of the area. Everything with the closing went very smoothly even though we were doing everything remotely. I would highly recommend Lloyd Flanders and his team to anyone!

ZillowVERIFIED We could not have had a better recommendation to work with Lloyd and his team. No small task as we were looking to purchase a rental property from out of state. That was not only to serve as a wonderful home for our family residing there, but a long-term investment as well. The Flanders Team are experts in not only locating the properties, but they are also in-fact experts as it pertains to working with Rookie Real Estate Investors, such as we were. The Flanders Team coached us through the process of securing a property that would meet the stringent rules and regulations that are associated with owning a safe legal rental property. Leveraging their network of experts to not only determine appropriate pricing, but they also provided detailed analysis of the local rental market. This collaboration of experts resulted in the purchase of a cash flow positive rental in this market. To be clear, Lloyd was very professional in guiding us through the process and keeping us out of our own wayaEUR|and boy did I need that. The detailed analysis of each property provided us with the facts to make the fiscally responsible decision as a family member will be living there as well. Given the Flanders Team personal and professional experience in the ins and outs of analysis, property management, property inspection(s) and real estate expertise. I highly recommend them for the sale and/or purchase of a home in Ame areaaEUR|especially if you are a Rookie Real Estate InvestoraEUR|or just want professional representation as a buyer AND seller. For what it is worth, even though the purchase was made several months ago the Flanders Team has been there for us supporting our questions as owner investors. Honch Family

Review for Member: Lloyd Flanders
ZillowVERIFIED **5-Star Review for Lloyd Flanders of RE/MAX** Selling my home felt like a daunting task, especially after trying the "For Sale By Owner" route with no success. Enter Lloyd Flanders, and everything changed for the better. From the very first meeting, Lloyd brought a level of professionalism and expertise that made the process not only manageable but incredibly smooth. Lloyd went above and beyond by helping me identify updates and repairs that would make the house more appealing to buyers. He provided practical suggestions and even recommended trusted contractors to get the work done efficiently. His guidance through every step of the selling processaEUR"pricing, staging, and marketingaEUR"was invaluable. Thanks to Lloyds expertise, my home sold in just a few days for the price I was hoping to get. His support didnt stop there. While I was out of town, he personally arranged for some much-needed yard cleanup to ensure the property looked its best for showings. Its rare to find someone so genuinely invested in their clients success. To top it all off, Lloyd and his amazing team, Holly and Jackson, showed incredible care and thoughtfulness throughout the entire process. When I was late picking up a holiday pumpkin pie theyd gifted me, Lloyd personally delivered it to my door with a smile. Its those little touches, along with the teamwork and dedication of Holly and Jackson, that set them apart. I cant recommend Lloyd Flanders and his team highly enough. If youre looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and caring group of real estate professionals, they are the ones you want in your corner. Thank you, Lloyd, Holly, and Jackson, for turning a stressful situation into a success story!

ZillowVERIFIED Lloyd was excellent for us. He was patient with us as we settled on what we wanted. When we decided on what we wanted, Lloyd executed on our plan perfectly. Nothing went as planned, but it all went right, and that's why you get an agent like Lloyd. He's someone I trust to represent me in all things Real Estate, and he's got a pretty good way with people, too.

ZillowVERIFIED Lloyd has helped us with three Real Estate transactions. He found us our first and second homes and helped us sell our first home. Lloyd was an expert negotiator and helped us get the price we wanted on the houses that we bought. Lloyd has expert level knowledge of the market, and we sold our house for our dream price. I cannot imagine working with anyone else. I recommend him to anyone that asks about buying or selling their house. Beyond that, Lloyd was calming when I was nervous about buying our current house. I called him several times just to talk. Lloyd does not exist to simply make deals. He cares for the person and the family that are making these deals. Lloyd has made a significant impact on our lives, and I am forever grateful. Lloyd is the best!

ZillowVERIFIED Lloyd did an outstanding job and went above and beyond what was expected. I appreciated how open he was about the process from the beginning and outlined expectations for me. He got me looking at houses right away and was very open with pros and cons of each. Thank goodness he had me start right away or I would have missed out on the perfect house for me! He also has a very knowledgeable team that helped me through rest of the process including what companies I could use to switch over utilities, internet, sanitation, ECT. Lloyd and his team make a very daunting, complicated process so much easier to complete. Thank you!

ZillowVERIFIED Lloyd and his team are top notch. I was beyond happy with the professionalism, the communication, and the knowledge. I used Lloyd to purchase a home recently and he helped me craft an offer that gave us an excellent competitive advantage. The process was not without curveballs but he left no stone unturned and we were able to navigate the waters. I will undoubtedly use The Flanders Team for future needs.

ZillowVERIFIED Lloyd made this whole experience as stress free as could possibly be. Every little detail was paid close attention to and in an incredibly quick manner. Never had to reach out as he was first to call/text whenever there was need to communicate, gave us graceful yet solid advice every time we needed it. Blessed to have him through the process.

Review for Member: Lloyd Flanders
ZillowVERIFIED We cannot recommend Jackson and the Flanders team enough! In the matter of two weeks, we needed to have our home on the market ready to go due to my husband being stationed out of state. He was honest with what we needed to fix and helped us make sure we hit those goals to get ready. He backed us 100% through the whole process and answered any querstions we may have had (which were a lot and embarrassingly at all hours of the day and night). Communication (GOOD and QUICK communication) and honesty is what we were searching for when we looked for a relator. I'm so glad we choose right! You will never go wrong using Jackson and the Flanders Team!

ZillowVERIFIED Lloyd was recommended by a good friend. He worked incredibly fast and we were able to look at homes, put an offer down and close on our home in about the span of a month! We gave him literally a single day notice to schedule showings and prepare for our out of town visit. He was great to work with and has a great sense of the area. Thanks Lloyd and team!!

ZillowVERIFIED Lloyd was great at finding potential housing within our desired requirements. Lloyd is a great negotiator and helped secure a new roof in a very timely manner. He also has great connections for services such as getting a new fence installed quickly. On the selling side he was great at evaluating offers and making counter offers as well as giving advice on updates to get the most out of the house. Highly recommended.

ZillowVERIFIED Ive worked with Lloyd both buying and selling a house. Had a great experience. Lloyd met with me to discuss potential repairs and upgrades months in advance of listing the house. This knowledge and advice helped maximize the appeal and undoubtedly attracted a handful of potential buyers.

ZillowVERIFIED Weve worked with Lloyd before when buying our first home, but this was our first buying AND selling experience. Lloyd and his team are so great to work with, incredibly knowledgeable and work hard for you. We got our home sold in one day for over asking and found a gem of a new home that Lloyd helped us to secure quickly. They are honest and flexible and compassionate. Great team!

ZillowVERIFIED Lloyd is very knowledgeable and helped us find a great first home. Lloyd and his team explained everything in a way that was easy to understand from making the offer, to working with the mortgage banker and up until setting up the utilities before move in. This made it really easy to move into our new house in less than 3 months.

Review for Member: Lloyd Flanders
ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I loved working with Lloyd Flanders and his team! From the outset, Lloyd was clear about helping us find the home WE needed. We looked at a lot of homes, and each time Lloyd allowed us to think through what we did/didn't like about the home before helping us weigh the pros and cons. We never felt pushed to make a decision. Once we did find a home and our offer was accepted, the Flanders team provided lots of information and resources when selling as well as reminders and checklists once we were in the thick of closing. Very helpful for keeping all our ducks in a row! Overall, Lloyd and his team were professional, kind, informative, and knowledgable. We highly recommend!

Review for Member: Lloyd Flanders
ZillowVERIFIED When I accepted a position at ISU and needed to move from Denver to Ames, I knew that I needed to find the best realtor to help me through the process. I was looking for someone who had years of experience, knew the area and market well, and had my best interests in mind. I did my research online, and I'm so grateful that all of the reviews led me to Lloyd Flanders and his team. Lloyd listened to my husband and me about what we wanted in a home (Although we had quite a range of what we could be interested in.) and worked to show us homes that met our criteria. When it came time to put in offers, Lloyd focused on ensuring we were comfortable with the amounts we were offering. While we were approved for more expensive homes, I never felt like Lloyd pushed us toward the higher end of the spectrum for the sake of a higher commission. He truly wants people to be happy in their home purchases. When we became interested in a home that was listed through his office, Lloyd was clear on what the dual agent situation looked like and was open to the idea of us using another realtor if it would make us feel more comfortable. He provided us with all of the comparable information that we needed to make a reasonable offer. In a multiple offer situation, I admired Lloyds integrity and professionalism in ensuring that everyone putting in an offer had equal footing, even if it meant I wasnt getting any insider information. ?? In the end, I believe both buyer and seller got a great deal. And I know that my husband and I are happy with our new home and enjoyed the home search and purchase process. If you are looking for a realtor near Ames, Iowa, please give Lloyd Flanders and his team a call!

Review for Member: Lloyd Flanders
ZillowVERIFIED Lloyd is very friendly and knowledgeable. We appreciated his calm demeanor during a very stressful time and once our home was listed, he was constantly in communication with us until we had an offer. Once we had a buyer for our home, things shifted away from him personally and to his team. That part of the experience was less stellar - our name was misspelled repeatedly in multiple ways on important documents and not all communication went as smoothly/clearly. That being said, errors were resolved quickly once we drew attention to them. In short, Lloyd is great and hopefully his team can improve on their attention to detail in the future to make the entire experience high quality throughout.

ZillowVERIFIED This is maybe my third review if Lloyd Flanders and that is because I have bought two properties with Lloyds help in the past and have now sold the properties. I returned to Lloyd for help because he is not only an outstanding realtor with a great team but a friend. He does wonderful work in the community with Boys and Girls Club. Lloyd is a conscientious and experienced realtor that I cant recommend more highly!

ZillowVERIFIED I went to Lloyd as a first time home buyer. He had made it as painless as I could've hoped for, for the first time. He was always quick to respond and jump on any house that I had asked about and gave clear and honest feedback about every home. With the years under his belt made it very easy to spot the things that could make it or break the deal, or could lead to costly future repairs.

Review for Member: Lloyd Flanders
ZillowVERIFIED Great to work with when selling a home - unless your home is owned by you and a spouse separating. I was disappointed with the lack of information of the sell I was getting and the lack on inclusion as I was also an owner of the property (for example the closing date). When later purchasing a new property I did decide to find a new realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED Lloyd was recommended to us, and we were extremely pleased with his service. He is very knowledgeable about the local market and helped us develop a marketing strategy to fit my mothers needs. He guided us through the whole process from telling us what repairs needed or did not need to be done before marketing the house, to hiring a professional photographer to show the house and yard to best advantage, to helping us evaluate the multitude offers we received. Lloyd kept us informed along each step of the process and promptly returned all our calls. He even gave us a keepsake book of all the photos at closing.

ZillowVERIFIED As a first-time home buyer, I didn't expect the house-buying experience to be so fun and positive! The team does a great job educating first-time home buyers and setting out expectations and a timeline. I received all the information I needed to make good decisions along the way. They have good suggestions of businesses to contact regarding loans, inspection, etc. Each team member is helpful and responds quickly with great professionalism and care. I really enjoyed using the online MLS to keep up-to-date with available showings. Lloyd was available it was easy to schedule showings quickly. Through multiple showings, Lloyd helped me focus-in on what I wanted and valued in a home. He was never pushy, just supportive. When I finally found the perfect home, the team moved quickly to make the sale happen!

ZillowVERIFIED Lloyd was great to work with. He kept us informed and kept us calm through what can often be a stressful time. This year, 2020, has brought many challenges to all of us from a virus to basically a hurricane in Iowa. All of this happened as we were about to close on our home. Lloyd had a plan and walked us through everything. Highly recommend Lloyd as a realtor!

ZillowVERIFIED UPDATE!! - Worked with Lloyd again to sell my home during this difficult time and he still is the absolute best. Even though we were in the middle of a pandemic he still made me feel comfortable with my choices and was very helpful and honest. I appreciate Lloyd and I appreciate his helpfulness and insight. (previous review - I had the pleasure of first working with Lloyd first in 2011 when my daughters and I were needing a new place to call home. Since that time he has helped me with home improvement decisions for selling and determining the best time for selling. As well as taking the extra time to help guide my fiancA(C) and myself with building my dream home.)

Review for Member: Lloyd Flanders
ZillowVERIFIED Lloyd is an amazing individual and realtor! We have worked with Lloyd on buying our first house, selling it 5 years later, and buying our second house. Through each process we were very happy with the services Lloyd has provided and would recommend him to anyone in the Ames or surrounding area that is looking to buy or sell a home! When we moved back to Ames in 2013, he helped us find our first house and guide us through the whole first-time home owner process. We were not set on staying in Ames yet, so he showed us houses in Story City, Roland, and Cambridge as well. When we did decide on a house, he helped us figure out how to negotiate with the sellers and what is needed when. Five years and two kids later with a third on the way, we decided it was time to move to a bigger home and we sent a bat signal to Lloyd. This time around it was a little easier because we kind of knew which house we wanted, but wanted to be sure so we saw similar houses to compare. The challenge for us this time around though was selling our home. Lloyd and his team worked with us on getting the house ready to sell. After some preparation from everyone we were very happy with the results which was 8 showings and 3 offers on the house the first day it was on the market! With having a small family that whole factor of waiting for the house to sell was removed and we were able to move onto the next steps. The only slight negative experience we had with Lloyd which we addressed and know he is continuously working on is just when a family is in the process of both selling and buying that at times it can seem very overwhelming. For us it would have been nice for more communication on what to expect each week and who will be visiting to do what just so we as a family can plan on being out of the house or line someone up to watch the kids while we meet with this person. In the end everything worked out and when he asked for our feedback on the whole experience, he was very open and willing to improve! In closing we are very happy with Lloyd! He will even check in with you from time to time to see if there are any loose ends that need to be dealt with and how he can help. The whole experience of buying a house is a roller coaster and we were glad he was with us helping throughout the whole process.

He is knowledgeable and experienced in both spectrums and is intentional on uncovering your goals and expectations.

Review for Member: Lloyd Flanders
ZillowVERIFIED Outstanding interactions with Lloyd from day one. The first house we stopped by out of curiosity and ended up liking the house enough to want to make an offer. Lloyd helped us get the ball rolling since we were first time home buyers. Even though we didn't get that house, Lloyd would send us homes that he thought would interest us. After some discouraging losses of homes we were interested in, we took a few months off of looking. Lloyd called us one night and asked if we were still interested in buying a home. By the next day, our offer was accepted and we are now in our first home! This was the home we had been looking for since day one! Lloyd kept us in the back of his mind, looking for what we wanted and helped us snatch it up ASAP! 10/10 would work with him again and will recommend to others!
