My wife and I loved working with Jon during the buying and building process of our home. We were…read moreinitially going to buy a new house in Adel, but then decided to build one with Destiny Homes. Jon took a lot of time out of many of his days to show us houses, go over floor plans and ideas, and was also there during all our building meetings with Destiny. There is a lot of logistics that went into choosing lots, floor plans and customizing the entire house, which Jon was very knowledgeable and had great expertise along every step! Since Jon is a home builder as well, there is a lot of details and advice that he can provide while purchasing a house that the ordinary realtor would not be educated on. He was also very prompt at getting back to us and patient with all the questions and decisions that we had during our buying process which made everything move along more efficiently. Overall we would highly recommend using Jon for any of your realty needs! C&J

Besides his real estate experience, he also builds a fantastic house (Trinity Homes). We have had many homes over the years & our current one (built by Jon) is hands down the best. It is the first well built home we have owned. His attention to detail, high quality, and unique design make Trinity Homes the best in the area. His building background makes him an exceptional resource as a realtor. We have worked with quite a few builders and realtors over the years and we highly recommend Jon!

We selected Jerry after having looked at many different homes in Des Moines, IA. The homes were…read moreall very similar and not very creative. Then my wife found a home that wasn't for sale but loved the design and asked the owner who built it. That is how we found Jerry. We then selected a lot and started the design process. In the design process we told Jerry and the designer what features were important to us as well as what style of houses we like (contemporary/modern). They came up with drawings which we were able to say we liked or disliked. They then tweaked the drawings more and more until we had a set of plans for the home. There definitely was not a house that looked very similar to ours in Des Moines, which might be difficult for some people. You can't just drive across town and see what your house will look like with different paint and countertops. The homes Jerry designs and builds are unique. It can take a lot of imagination and consideration to picture how your home will look, but it is well worth it. The building process went well. There were different concerns on how to use different spaces, etc. as we moved forward and I appreciated Jerry's insight on how to improve upon the plans that had been drawn. We had a large area on our second floor which was not accessible and would likely hold art or something else. Jerry thought it might be nice to put a catwalk over to the area and make it a sitting area or area for the kids. It was a great idea and significantly improved the home. We moved our game room from the area previously designed to an area with 10 ft ceilings to better take advantage of the space. There are many other examples as well. The build wasn't without problems. We moved in 4 weeks later than we were supposed to. We came in over budget; however, Jerry's fee did not change...we only paid extra for the changes WE made. That was appreciated as other builders will hit you with change order fees, etc. As for moving in late......we did when we built our previous home and I don't think I have heard from anyone building a house that moved in exactly when they were supposed to. Regardless, the high quality finished product more than made up for the delay. In short, I would not hesitate to recommend Jerry Bussanmas as a home builder. He builds a high quality home as well as a unique home in our otherwise cookie cutter neighborhoods. I wish there were more of his homes in our area.

Jerry, Nick, Nichole, and Kelsey are a great team. We had many questions throughout the process of…read morebuilding our first home, and the Bussanmas family was extremely knowledgable and informative. They offered great suggestions and guidance during each phase of the build. Being pregnant (emotional, neurotic, and irrational) proved to be a challenge for my husband and for me, but Nichole was always helpful in alleviating my stress, especially when it came to the detailed finish work and helping us make decisions that stayed true to the style we envisioned for our home. Each day after work my husband and I would stop by to check on the progress of our home, and we were always very impressed with Jerry's crew . The construction manager, Cade, was very friendly and easy to work with, and he took the time to answer our endless questions. We were also especially pleased with the trim carpenters, their attention to detail, and the overall design and quality of their work. My husband and I feel very lucky that our home was built by Jerry Bussanmas. I cant say enough about the quality and craftsmanship of his work. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend Jerry.

She wasn't even my realtor but she was selling a townhome that came up last minute on my emails. I was desperate, My realtor wasn't available and I had less than ONE day to either buy a home or renew the lease on my small little apartment that I hated ( but was grateful to have) I had just been through a divorce and I really needed a home for my little girl and me! I called her from the driveway of the townhome and she said she'd put on a hat and be right over! She showed me that unit and about 5 other ones. The one I wanted had an offer but I had first dibs if it fell through! It ended up falling through and I got it. She has helped me with so much. Her decorating skills are remarkable so I bought some curtains from her, and she also had a dimmer light installed for me! Once I moved in I got the wrong set of blinds for the laundry room so she introduced me to her connection for blinds Clint. Who is nice enough to get me the right one and install it! Brandi was very thorough on the walk through. She pointed out things that needed fixed that I didn't even notice and had them fixed. She also helped me with my window that I couldn't get locked after I moved in. I was in a pretty bad place mentally at the time and if she didn't take my call that day. I would have been stuck with an expensive lease renewal. She is my angel!!!!! My all my needs rescuer! She said if I needed anything at all she would help me or find someone to help me. I will always recommend her to everyone I know who needs a realtor. She works hard at what she does and she's not just your realtor she has become a friend! Thanks Brandi

We have recently purchased a house where Kurt was the selling agent. It was by far the worst real…read moreestate experience I have ever encountered. Negotiating was impossible whether it was because of Kurt or the seller, I am not aware. Things that were agreed upon before closing were not done before closing. The house smelled of dog urine and there were visible stains on the "new carpet". We asked that the carpets be professionally cleaned and the house be cleaned before closing. When we saw the house the remote control for one of the gas fireplaces was missing so we were not able to test it out. We told Kurt and his team that we were not able to check the fireplace because of no remote. They said it would be fine and working. The house has power blinds in some of the rooms and those were not able to be checked as there was no remote either. They said to not worry as it was somewhere in the house. I drove a U-haul with some of our stuff up for closing from Dallas Texas to Iowa. Final walk through, the house still smelled of dog urine and the inside of the cabinets and drawers in the kitchen and bathroom were disgusting. My realtor chose to pay half to get the carpets professionally shampooed and the house cleaned as it seemed that they thought it was acceptable. The remote for the fireplace was there and did not work, we replaced the batteries to it and still wouldn't work. The only way to get it to work is take the cover off and manually turn on the gas fireplace under the burner. So it looks like I will have to pay to have someone come and get it to work with the remote. There was no remote to the blinds. Kurt said that there should be, but sadly there was not. My realtor had to spend money out of there pocket to buy a new remote for the fireplace and a new remote for the blinds as Kurt and his team deemed it not important to make this right. I assume when you spend over $600,000. on a house that things should be taken care of. If I could give Kurt and his team Zero Stars, I gladly would. Sadly, and experience that should have been enjoyable was quite the opposite of that.
