Little late in doing this since I bought my house July of 24 but here we are. So I used Chris Kew's team to help me find and buy my first house! He and his team worked with me for over 4 years to find what was right for me and never pushed anything that wasn't right and never rushed things. If they thought a house I wanted to look at wasn't a good fit they straight up said which I appreciated! I am so grateful for their help and dedication. They were there and odd hours to answer any questions I had and still reach out to check up on things and to see if I need anything. Would definitely recommend anyone to use them! I worked mainly with Chris and Fernando, but if the rest of his team are anything like them you are definitely in good hands! Words can't express enough of my gratitude to them!
Thank you again guys!

Fernando was able to drop everything and show me a house that was posted on Zillow for 4 hours. We were able to put in an offer by the end of the day and got the house I’ve been looking for. Fernando helped me look for months until we found the right one. Thank you!

At the time, I started looking at homes on Zillow because I thought “if I’m paying $1300 a month for a rental, why not buy a home instead “ and decided to start my search. At first I was intimidated because it was my first home and I didn’t know where to go or which direction to take but then I was directed to Brooklin Griffis and man when I tell you she went above and beyond for us, I really meant it. Not only was she so professional, she was also very personable because we felt so comfortable with her, she was so easy to talk to, very knowledgeable and very informative. She really taught us a lot on this journey about buying a home to what we need to look at before buying a home etc etc and we just absolutely adore her . When we’re ready for our next home , we’re definitely going to her.

When my wife and I moved back to Iowa from Texas. The house hunting began 30 days later. We were very specific to what we wanted. As everyone knows, buy a home is one of your biggest decisions in your life. Chris was very patient with us and we must have seen 10 to 15 homes. At that time the market was hot 🔥. Many of them were sold while we were touring them. Chris never showed frustration, upset instand he would encourage us. By telling don't worry I will find you, your home. Chris was very tentative, he answered any questions we had. My wife and I felt we were in great hand. It's been 3 years of that journey that Chris never stopped looking for our home. If you are looking to buy, sell Chris and his team is the wright team for you. You will not be disappointed. We have been in our home for 3 years. In the future when my children start looking for there own home. Chris will be the preferred realtor we will be calling.

Chris came recommend from my in-laws who had previously sold their home, after having spent significant time on the market. They had such a positive experience, that we decided to take a chance on him and the team. When my husband and I relocated from Phoenix, we had a rough transition and needed to be in a home - fast. Chris was swift to action and able to help us close in less than a month!

He was sympathetic to our needs, but also honest, and patient. He gave us proper guidance and never made us feel as though we had to make a swift decision. I feel truly blessed that we connected with him. Although we plan to make this our forever home, should we need to ever need to move again, I know that Chris will be in our corner!

The Chris Kew team helped us in buying our first home, and selling our home as we moved out of state. Chris is very knowledgeable, honest, and has an eye for detail. Chris and his team have amazing communication with us as clients, and answered all our questions as we had them. When buying a home, he made sure to recommend homes within our specified range and requests (didn’t try to “upsell” beyond our desired range unless we requested), and was willing to view all the houses we needed to make a final choice. His team was especially helpful as we moved out of state before selling our home. Chris and his team ensured that everything still went smoothly as we were out of state, and closing was smooth with the continuous communication and additional attention to detail the team provided. I highly recommend the Chris Kew team for anyone buying or selling!

When my sister and I unexpectedly became responsible for selling our parents house we listed it first with another agent, and the home didn’t have any movement let alone serious showings. We met Chris and he immediately got to work with amazing photos, advertising, and open houses every weekend. Neither my sister nor I live in Iowa so we had to do everything long distance. Chris kept us in the loop the whole time, communicated every showing, every feedback he received and every issue he found. Finally, we went under contract, but there was also an issue that was found at the last minute. Chris knew who to contact to get it fixed as quickly as possible. 1000/10 recommend Chris as an agent.

After working with 2 previous realtors and being told I was looking for a unicorn, I signed up on the Dave Ramsey Solutions website on February 11th to find an Endorsed Local Provider. Three different realtors contacted me and Chris Kew was one of the realtors. I was very specific on what I wanted and Chris kept me updated to let me know that he was actively looking for a home for me. On March 15th he contacted me at 5:00 pm to let me know he had a home for me to look at and he got me a showing at 6:30 pm to see it! While I was looking at the house I didn't feel pressured or like I was taking up too much of his time. The next morning we made an offer and had a verbal acceptance before anyone else could see the home! Then on April 19th I closed on my new home! Chris found me my unicorn!

It was truly a pleasure working with Chris and Amanda. My situation had several unique challenges and they navigated them and advised me expertly and patiently.

The area I lived in is quite rural so the market was tougher to negotiate. Chris had a professional photographer come in and they took great pictures, including arial pictures of my property with a drone. This is a must do. Chris did a great job of advertising in multiple venues, getting the acreage seen by many potential buyers.

Chris and Amanda are well connected, easy to work with and know the real-estate business very well. I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Chris Kew is great at what he does! He is a pro at negotiating and used great marketing techniques to help sell my investment property at top dollar. He helped make the selling process go extremely smooth. He went above and beyond expectations. You won’t find a realtor that cares as much for his clients as Chris. I can’t recommend him enough and will be using him for all future sales!

I was easily Chris’ most annoying client. I asked tons of questions everyday and would ask more based on his answers. Always asking for updates, wondering why certain things took so long, what different documents were, etc. Chris always told me what was going on, kept me in the loop whenever there was an update to be given, explained everything that didn’t make sense to me, and when there were a couple of hiccups in the process, he always assured me that everything was fine. This was my first time selling a house and I’m so glad I found you, Chris! will never stop recommending you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Chris did an amazing job helping us find the perfect home for our family! As first time home buyers we had absolutely no idea what we were doing, but Chris was very informative and made the process easy and painless while guiding us the entire way! We had a scare just one day before we were set to close and almost had our closing delayed due to our lender slacking on their part, but Chris went to bat for us and got it pushed through! Thanks to Chris we got our perfect home, and I would highly recommend him to anyone on the hunt! Thanks again, Chris!

Chris Kew is more than just a realtor. He cares about his clients and helps them anyway he can. That is what he did for me and I can’t thank him enough. He helped me buy a house and sell it all within 9 months due to circumstances beyond my control. He is always so positive and keeps in touch during the whole process and answers any questions a client might have. Right now I have decided to rent but in the future when the time comes to buy Chris Kew will definitely be my realtor and I will recommend him to anyone I know. Thanks again Chris!!!!!

One of the most common pieces of advice I got from homeowners was “find a good realtor, make sure the realtor knows what they’re doing” right off the bat I knew Chris was in it for the long haul no matter how many houses we looked at, how many questions we had, or what time of day he would need to meet up for a showing. Anytime I sent him a house - he had a showing set up that day within the time I was available. He talked me through every part of the home buying process. He is also very knowledgeable on all things pricing. I couldn’t recommend Chris enough. He introduced us to a new lender after not having the best experience with the first, got us a great inspector, and always communicated what we needed or what was happening with the process. If you want someone is going to fight for what you want & be on your team, Chris is your guy. Thank you Chris!!!!!

Chris was fantastic to work with. He took what we looked at and kept dialing in our preferences. With us both working, he made himself available in the evening which was great for us. After we found the house, he let us back in multiple times so we could take measurements and start making plans for the home. We did a 30 day fast close on our new home and the sale of our other home. Chris volunteered any help to ensure our sale went smooth so we could close on our new one. He went above and beyond any expectation I had for a realtor. We highly recommend Chris and would happily use him again in the future. Look no further than Chris Kew for a realtor that truly cares about his clients. Thanks again Chris!!!

Chris Kew is a phenomenal realtor to work with and one who understands the current market. He is professional and he goes the extra mile for his customers. Buying or listing a home seems easy up front, but can be challenging once you are going through the process in today’s market. Chris’s attention to detail, taking professional pictures instead of phone ones (for listings) to get maximum price along with his availability to answer any questions and show homes is what makes him an A1 realtor. If you need a realtor to help you list your home or buy in this market - you know what to do! Call Chris Kew!
