The manager has zero credibility with most of us-she's condescending, rude and disrespectful most of the time. Plus-watch out for the 'fees' they like to levy on you for fake reasons! Keep looking-there are better places out there, trust me.

Sarah turned a stressful real estate situation into an awesome outcome by staying calm,…read morecommunicative, and relentlessly focused on getting the best result. Overall Experience: What began as an overwhelming and anxious process quickly shifted once Sarah stepped in and took control of the details. Her combination of clear guidance, market insight, and steady communication made each step feel manageable instead of stressful. Communication and Support: Sarah was easy to reach, quick to respond, and always took the time to explain what was happening and why it mattered. She checked in regularly, anticipated questions before they came up, and made sure there were no surprises along the way. Expertise and Guidance: Drawing on her background in property and risk evaluation, she pointed out issues and opportunities that might have been missed with another agent. Her advice on pricing, timing, and negotiations showed a deep understanding of the Central Iowa market and gave real confidence in every decision. Stressful To Awesome: Early hurdles that felt like deal-breakers became solvable problems once Sarah laid out options, next steps, and realistic expectations. By closing, what had started as a stressful experience ended with a smooth transaction and the feeling that the right home and the right outcome had been achieved. Recommendation: Sarah is the kind of realtor who combines professionalism, empathy, and strategy in a way that truly changes the experience for her clients. She is highly recommended to anyone who wants less stress, more clarity, and a genuinely positive real estate journey.

I was so impressed with my experience working with David and PROmetro Realty.

Extremely disappointed in Iowa Realty. I reached out to agent Tammy Albright via telephone and…read moreexpressed an interest in her listed property located outside of Radcliffe, Iowa. In my voice mail message I provided my cell phone number contact, and explained that I currently resided in Nebraska but was interested in viewing the Radcliffe property. Guess what? NO RESPONSE. I was willing to drive FOUR HOURS to view her property and I did not even get the common courtesy of a response. The old saying, 'You never get a second chance to make a first impression" applies to Iowa Realty. I have heard others express that realtors are the new 'used car salesmen' and my personal experience has bore this out. Shameful. I am attaching a screenshot showing that I left a voice mail message with the agent.

Quick version: house was sold by Iowa realty for their client who was ostensibly a friend of the realtor, also a friend of the inspector. The house we bought has bedroom windows that won't close, needs a new roof (inspector didn't even get on a ladder, just "surveyed from the ground), and has thermostats on 2nd floor and basement that are ornamental only- they aren't hooked up to anything, and I was gifted an attic full of garbage. House has intercom and speakers but the wires are cut. I would've loved to had someone advocating for me and my family and shouldn't have relied on this one realtor to "play both sides" as someone had to lose out. Posted is my bedroom temp in early June. This is as cool as it gets as there is no working AC or heat to bedroom. I'm heavy and have always tried to sleep at 68 degrees.

Jeff stanbrough has too much going on to care for the people who have made him his money. He has a minion he sends out to deliver bad news named Jeremy. Jeff is a dishonest coward. I was treated so poorly. I was judged for being different. I was served a 3 day notice for having a controlled substance which never existed. The negligence and absolute disrespect is something I'll never forget. I was raided by police (Dallas county) and still am not sure the reason behind it all. I had a gun to my head and was handcuffed only to be released after they searched the house and found nothing. I want answers, but I'll probably never get them. I have trouble sleeping, I wake up in panic several times every hour. I feel like I need therapy. These guys are So hard to get a hold of. Maintenance requests take forever and when they come they do a shit job. Every single staff member I've dealt with was so horrible to me. The communication is non existent unless they wanna reach you. The properties are cheap and repairs are slim. I hope nobody else gets treated the way I was treated by this horrible company. Leah judged me and declined my first application because I mentioned how I like to make music. I should have heeded the warning signs. Red flags all over. Overpriced and overly rude. I hope Stanbrough goes out of business, so nobody else feels how I've felt. Now my entire life is in storage and I've never been more thankful I have no more ties with stanbrough.

They are detail oriented and transparent with me. There are multiple things that I appreciate about them. Here are a few of the items: 1. They ensure that my tenants are in a safe and clean environment. If something needs to be repaired they get it fixed quickly. If the repair is a bit more costly, they help get multiple quotes and work with me on the timing of the repair whenever possible. 2. They keep their portal updated so I can see the income and expense details. 3. I get a monthly report from the property manager letting me know what is going on at the properties. 4. They have good customer service. If I have a question or if the tenant has a question they respond quickly to address the question/concern. 5. They are detail oriented. This is especially important when you work with financial transactions. I couldn't be happier to work with the team at Stanbrough. Tobit has become a trusted business partner. My property manager Seth is second to none. I would like to thank the team at Stanbrough for all of their hard work!

Working with Suzana was simply a great experience. When we first started looking for homes, we…read moredidn't quite know what we were looking for. Suzana helped us find answers to questions that we didn't even know existed. She helped us understand how to look for red flags when touring homes and helped us hone in on exactly the right home for us. In the end, we toured dozens of homes over a period of a year. Suzana was patient through the whole process. When we did finally find the right home, all of us were completely sure that the home was the right fit. Working with Suzana was fun and enjoyable. She has a great demeanor, she's funny, and she has a keen eye for real estate. We have zero regrets about our whole process. Thank you, Suzana!

I was born and raised in former Yugoslavia and have moved to Des Moines in the late '99s. I've been lucky: I've lived all over this great city. North, South, West.

I would like to offer a fresh perspective compared to the 2 previous review. Mr. Cobb took football…read morepictures for one of the largest school districts in IA. The "professional" pictures were out of focus, shadowed and he thought to use a creek with tall grass as a backdrop (Very Olan Mills circa 1980). When questioned about these pictures he said they were fine and that an umbrella light caused the shadows. He also had no objections to the terrible backdrop. Groups of parents contacted him and he was unapologetic and unwilling to make any sort of amends. We as parents were not looking for freebies just a retake. Mr. Cobb should not be used for any photography. Very dissatisfied and disappointed.
