Rick was fantastic to work with! We only had a weekend in Des Moines to find a house before moving out. Rick took the time before we came to talk through what we were looking for and had planned visits to several homes. He has been doing this for a long time, and was able to help us quickly sort through and find the right neighborhoods and homes to look at. Rick was super comfortable to work with--we always felt like he was truly partnering with us to find the right house. Very responsive through the whole home-buying process, from beginning to end. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Rick was our first real contact moving from out of state to Iowa. He made us feel very comfortable right away. Rick is knowledgeable about the area, very quick to respond with any questions and always had our back. When we were in escrow he kept on contacting the builder with issues to ensure our home was acceptable before we moved in. Even after the purchase of our home he made sure everything was taken care of and helped us with any issues that came up. He genuinely cares about his clients and that shows.

Rick responded very fast and was a very helpful guide through the purchasing process. There were some minor repairs needed on the house that were successfully negotiated and made before purchase. Closing went smoothly and Rick was willing to help even after the fact when questions arose.

We were a very picky couple when it came to looking for a house to fit our needs. Rick was fantastic to work with, he was always willing to take us through houses of our choosing and was always quick to respond to our requests. Once we did find the perfect house for us he worked very hard to sell our house quickly and at a great price.

As a first-time home buyer, I was really not sure what to expect about the buying process, but Rick Bratrud made it easy.He is very customer focused and knowledgeable about real estate. He took great care in all the paperwork and negotiation and was a great advocate for us. Most important, he helped us succeed in all our goals to purchase a new home with all the criteria we were looking for. We would work with Rick again in a heartbeat - but we are so happy with our new home that won't be for a long time! If you are trying to find a good agent, look no further. - Amra A.

Rick was very helpful through the process of buying my first home. Everything was new to me and he was able to walk me through it step by step and help me understand everything. I am very thankful to have him on my side. He was very knowledgable of not only the process, but of the area and properties in general. He knew I was in a hurry to move and was able to help me find the perfect place and move in very quickly. I will definitely use Rick in the future and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a property!

This was my first home buying experience and Rick made it very easy for me to get exactly what I wanted. I already had a few houses picked out and Rick was very good about pointing things out that were helpful in making my decision. He was never too pushy, and was always available when I had a question or concern. He made sure that I got a great deal on my first home, and I would highly recommend him to any buyer.

My wife and I have moved sevaral times in the last few years and have worked with some good agents but even so we were impressed with Rick. He was extremely helpful in our new home search. His knowledge of home construction is one of the things that sets him apart. He was not at all pushy or impatient (we had a long list of houses to look at), he was very responsive, and overall very easy to work with. He helped us convert a list of wants into ownership of the right house in the right neighborhood at a good price and without a lot of stress getting through the process.
