Defy Mediocrity + Deliver Extraordinary Experiences
-
“We worked with Renee Dunkel while we hunted for homes, sold our home, and then built a new home. I am extremely thankful we had Renee representing us throughout this process. She is a top tier realtor with outstanding market knowledge & negogiating skills. Renee is genuine, detail-oriented, and has strong communication skills. We are beyond grateful for the exceptional experience we had with Renee and would highly recommend her for anyone in the market for a realtor.”
-
“We did some research prior to hiring Renee and the initial consideration was how she positioned her properties. Loved the videos and hands on feel. After having a very bad experience with another realtor who told us one thing and did another, we were absolutely refreshed with Renee's approach. She does what she says, try's her best, is available, honest and on your side. No getting the feeling your best interests are sacrificed so she can get a sale. She's a real class act, While you may find one of the "BIG" Iowa realtors that can slam dunk a sale in a hurry by lying to everyone, you'll be missing out on the right sale that leaves you and them feeling good in your hearts. Hands down she worked hard and earned every dollar. We couldn't be happier.”
-
“Renee went way above and beyond to find the perfect home for me. She is also very knowledgeable about homes (she could probably build one herself) and the buying/selling process, is trustworthy, and is a great listener and communicator. So appreciate her help and support; she's one of the best of the best Realtors in the Des Moines area in my opinion.”
-
“Renee was exceptional to work with--she was responsive and attentive without being pushy and was incredibly friendly and helpful. To say she went above and beyond to negotiate a successful agreement with the sellers and to meet our tight timeline on completing the transaction is an understatement. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a realtor and look forward to working with her again in the future.”
-
“I highly recommend working with Renee. She is knowledgeable, thorough, responsive, trustworthy, commited, and goes above and beyond for her clients.

She truly cares and listens. Thank you, Renee!!”

“Renee was recommended to us by friends who bought their first home with her help. They spoke highly of many qualities we would soon come to see ourselves.

I will continue to recommend Renee to all those in my life searching for their next haven.”

“Renee Dunkel puts the real in real estate. We looked at over a dozen houses and she helped me find the right one. She cares about the client's experience and spends the time to research the house in advance so she can talk the client through the house during the walk-through. I was so impressed with Renee. She is an 11/10 in my book. When I felt bad about missing an opportunity on a house I liked, Renee pulled me aside and said that I'll forget all about that house when I sat down at the closing of a house that I love. I didn't forget about that house...but only because I question now why I would ever have wanted it now that Renee found the perfect house for me. Renee and her team as so easy to work with and fun too. We laughed, pondered some interesting architecture/design choices, and developed a sense of trust that is sometimes hard to find in the real estate industry. I'm so glad a friend recommended Renee to me. I can't imagine finding my new home without her. Renee...you rock!”

“Renee has worked with our relocation company before and had outstanding reviews from coworkers. Renee was friendly, knowledgeable, and someone who gained my trust immediately. She listened to what I wanted and showed me houses that fit my needs. I had completed confidence in Renee. My lender has some issues and Renee was able to explain the term of the contract to him. Without her expertise, my loan could have been denied due to the lenders inexperience. During my walk thru she was very detailed and pointed out area that needed attention that I may have missed. I ALWAYS felt like she had my best interest in mind throughout the entire process.”
-
“Renee went above and beyond for us. She was very patient and understanding when things were confusing for us and always readily available whenever we had questions.

Renee was available at all hours of the day and took steps to make sure we were always prepared and at times ahead of the curve on the next steps.

“Renee spent so much time taking me around. We looked at 43 houses and she never pressured me and made sure all my questions/concerns about each house were answered. Renee was always respectful of my time and accommodated me as thought I was always first priority. She got to know my family and truly understood my needs when sending me recommendations. She finally found this gem that was for sale by owner luckily and in the housing market she made sure I was advocated and heard every step of the way through the buying process. I’m not sure I would have a house with what I was looking for and my price range if it wasn’t for her. I have worked with other real estate agents in my past and hands down my experience with Renee has been the best. She the best relator I’ve ever had.”

She was very knowledgeable and gave lots of tips throughout the process. She answered all our questions and kept us moving forward. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor.

“Working with Renee was a great. She made the first-time homebuying experience enjoyable and removed as much stress as possible. Despite my wife and I scouring all the real estate websites leading up to and during the home search, the one we settled on was brought to us by Renee because she knew our tastes and knew the inventory so well. Additionally, she was very accessible and responsive for short-notice showings or just asking questions about the home-buying process. She gave us her honest experience-based opinion on builders or home value, which helped along the way. Based on our experience, I'd strongly recommend Renee to anybody looking to buy a home.”
