“C21 Ames, please make sure to read this one in the next weekly meeting. 😉 Tami is and has always been the best. We would have been absolutley lost without her this past year. If you broke down her commission check into every phone call and meeting and showing and panicked-emergency-cocktails-on-the-porch meet-up, she probably was making less than $1/hour. We are lucky to have her as our real estate agent and even luckier she somehow claims us as friends. This whole adventure/dream/project was her idea to begin with, and we couldn't be more grateful!”

-
“When I first started looking for a home in Ames last spring, I wasn't really sure what I wanted, what area of Ames to look, or my price range. Tami Hicks was very patient and showed me all the places that I wanted to see while I was narrowing my search. When I knew what I wanted, Tami helped me to purchase the first townhome in my price range that became available. She worked with the seller to agree on a much lower price than I had expected to pay, and I would like to thank Tami Hicks for making it possible for me to move to Ames, Iowa!”
-
“Tami and her team helped me in purchasing the property previously and we had an excellent experience with them. There was no question that we would use them again. Tami and her team provided excellent market research which informed our sales plan perfectly. They know how to read and respond to the market and every goal was surpassed. Due to derecho damage on the property, we went with a delayed showing for a few days until the repairs were mostly completed. We received multiple offers on our first day of showing. We continue to be so impressed by their knowledge, professionalism and responsiveness to all my questions! Selling a house can be a stressful time, but working with Tami and her team, I knew I was getting the best advice, reminders and recommendations to make this sale as stress-free as possible! Tami and her team were excellent in every category here - their character shines!”

“I had multiple friends that worked with Tami, so she came highly recommended. I appreciated that she took the time to get to know me and what I wanted in a house before she started suggesting properties to view. She knows her stuff - from old, well loved homes to brand-new construction - she knows what to ask, what to do and how to get things done. Tami and Breta were both incredibly helpful during the entire process, from searching to making an offer and closing, and have continued to follow up after I moved into the house as well. Tami and Breta both communicated very well with each other and with me, and they were quick to follow up on all of my questions and problems. I hope that this is my forever home, but if it's not, I know that I'll be working with them again! I'd recommend them to any of my friends and family. Hands down, the best.”

“We've purchased two houses with Tami, but have never sold anything. It was stressful being on this end of things for the first time...we had tons of questions and concerns and Tami guided us through everything with grace, even when we were probably kind of offensive. That commission FEELS like such a big number when you're selling a house! But not having to coordinate things with our tenants; set up showings; take phone calls, figure out how/when to get keys copied, get a sign in the yard (I would have been doing this on my own with two kids under five)...and then once it went pending, there was even more coordinating to be done! We didn't have to deal with the abstract or the lawyers or ANY of that, she did everything, we signed some stuff, and it was done! Hi Joe and Dylan! And hiiiii everyone reading this during your Tuesday Team Meeting! I do a cheer in my Yukon everytime I notice a C21 sign go up in a yard! 😉 😉 ;)”
-
“Tami is an EXCELLENT broker! She is extremely hardworking, easy to work with, quick to respond and knows the area so, so well! My husband and I have a many year history of using her. Worked hard for us to get the duplex sold during a pandemic, when many things were different and unknown.”
