Testimony for Terri Larson

We had the privilege of having Terri recommended to us when we were anticipating a move to Iowa City. She worked closely with us from a distance, updating us on recent properties that fit our interest. We made several trips to Iowa over the year before we moved and Terri always made time to meet with us and show us various areas of the city. She was not only incredibly organized with the details of all the properties and neighborhoods that she showed us, but she was very knowledgeable about the schools and local activities that we would be interested in. Terri was approachable and candid. She was honest and shared her expertise about some of the more hidden important facts in buying a home (the type of windows, the builder, the type of exterior, etc.). I think we must have looked at over 50 properties or at least close to that and Terri, never made us feel rushed into making a decision. She truly wanted what was best for our family and she worked diligently to find us the right home. She went above and beyond what was expected. We are blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Terri. We feel that not only did we have one of the finest realtors in the area, we also developed a trusted friendship on our journey to finding a beautiful new home.

Referral from Jane McMullen

Finding a house for my husband and me would present a challenge for the most experienced and hardened Realtor.  We were buying our very first home, not as a young couple but after 29 years of marriage.  Having lived in 14 different houses and apartments in four states and seven foreign countries, we had definite likes and dislikes.  We wanted a home to showcase the many “souvenirs” we’d amassed overseas.  Now we were looking for our own place back in our native Iowa and we did not know the first thing about home buying.  House hunting would have been daunting had it not been for Terri Larson.  Her knowledge of the housing market and neighborhoods in Iowa City and the Corridor was invaluable.  She asked questions and listened to our answers to get a realistic sense of our wants and needs.  We were impressed with how organized, efficient and thorough Terri was on the numerous house visits she set up.  Her vast expertise in house construction and mechanicals helped educate us to important features to look for.  We benefitted from Terri’s keen eye as she pointed out details we would have missed.  Terri recognized and was sensitive to my husband’s and my different emotional reactions, especially when the house hunt seemed to stall.  She deftly handled our frustrations in a reassuring and calm manner and knew just when to inject humor.  Terri quickly earned our utmost confidence and trust.  Above all, she made finding the right house an adventure.  Dedicated, hardworking, tireless, cheerful, patient, perceptive, understanding, and fun are qualities that sum up Terri’s character and professionalism.  It was our good fortune and wise choice to enlist Terri Larson to find the wonderful house we now call home.
