I highly recommend Travis to anyone who might be trying to buy a house to consider Travis as your agent. He recently helped us in a process of buying our first home, not only that he was our agent he also took on a task of a friend in helping us ask right questions and giving us hints on what to look into when buying a home, moreover he still takes our calls and answers our questions after our closing. he's just a decent and reliable person to work with.

We could have never made the move from Washington State to Iowa without the help of Travis. He did virtual walk throughs for us before we could move, explained EVERYTHING to us as we were first time homebuyers, and made the entire process go so smoothly. I especially loved that Travis was so patient with me and so so kind as I am definitely the one that’s picky with houses! My husband and I have learned so much about the buying process and absolutely plan on using Travis for our future property purchases. I am beyond grateful for the recommendation to use Travis and I would recommend ANYONE who wants to purchase/sell a home to use NextHome Beyond.

Libby is the best!! We recently relocated from Arizona to Iowa and purchased a home site unseen. Libby handled the entire transaction with knowledge expertise and follow-through. A true professional who does something many real estate agents do not. She is available. She will take your call at 5:00 a.m. or during the Super Bowl.

NextHome Beyond (NHB) fulfilled my home buying objectives completely “turnkey” within 10wks, 3days and went far beyond my expectations in customer service, proficiency, user-friendly state-of-the-art technology, real-time communication, and responsiveness. About mid-August I solicited several leads from a Realtor referral company. Travis Hiatt (NHB Owner) was one of several respondents. His keen listening skills completely embraced my approach and his swift seamless integration of internet-based listings with my smart-device had set him far ahead of the “pac” and into a league all his own, as far as I was concerned. By the next day I had received electronic listings for my search criteria, made selections for viewing and had multiple showing appointments setup by Travis for the following day. It felt like I had been plugged into the “Matrix.”
During these first showings I met Travis’ partner Libby Thiltgen. The unprecedented “Ying & Yang.” “Batman & Cat-Woman.” Dynamic dual Real Estate crusaders. Staunch, savvy, astute and extremely witty. Albeit, congenial, charming and charismatic host.
Every week for the next 5 to 8 weeks this cycle of receiving electronic listings for my “learning” search criteria, making selections for viewing and having multiple showing appointments setup by Travis or Libby for the following day or two. Showings were averaging 4 to 6 per week. I began to feel like I was working with “Tommy Lee Jones” and we were looking for “Harrison Ford.” Because with Libby and Travis, based on my learning search criteria, their learning as well and our accumulating total of property showings we must have seen every “farm-house, hen-house, road-house, and out-house” within a 50mi radius of Cedar Rapids. And yes, that was my criteria too.
Travis and Libby were unwavering, undeterred and relentless in pursuit of achieving my real estate property goals and me purchasing my “dream home.” During weeks 5 to 7 the time between the listing’s “day-1” and our showing was reduced dramatically thus allowing our “buy” offer to be placed much higher, if not first for the “Seller’s” consideration. Although “timing” is not a panacea, but if and when your price-range and amenities are found it will become the ultimate determinant.
Although the elation of receiving notification of our offer accepted for the incredibly remarkable property the day after showing and between week 6 and 7 of our total (10wk, 3day) engagement there were still about 3 to 4 weeks ahead before “closing.” There was no break in the action. We had captured the elusive “Fugitive,” but now the “MATRIX” was in High-gear!
Heading towards “Closing” Libby and Travis became like extremely attentive “wedding planners” accounting for, checking and rechecking every intimate detail. They were deeply engaged with my mortgage lender and provided oversight on my behalf. Almost daily, I was kept informed and updated regarding the process and proceedings. On the day of “Closing” they made me feel like I was the “Bride.”

I found Libby to be helpful, courteous and honest. During the home buying process, she handled a lot of details to enable a smooth closing. I would highly recommend her to future clients.

Travis Hiatt took very good care of my family and I in our relocation to the Iowa City area. From finding homes of interest, to details and future plans of the area, schools to demographics, resale valuations and lenders. We really appreciate everything he and Next Home did for us in the seamless purchase of our home. Would use again and highly recommend!

Travis and his wife did a marvelous job helping us through the entire process of searching for a home, finding a home and applying and purchasing the home. They never left our side and we was able to call them morning, noon or night with any questions or concerns. I would recommend them to anyone who is searching for a home.

We are very appreciative of Travis and Libby. My husband and I needed home ASAP and they worked very hard and found us a home that is very close to our dream home. They were very tentative to our needs and went above and beyond to ensure we get the home to we loved. Upon working with Travis and Libby, you'll quickly learned that they are not in this business for money, instead, they are in it to make families happy by finding them their NextHome. As a first time homeowners, they have made us very happy.

Overall, Travis was amazing to work with. As first time homebuyers, my fiancé and I loved how flexible and patient Travis was! He communicated with us clearly and frequently, he was knowledgeable about home construction, and even pointed out home improvement opportunities as we visited potential homes. You could truly tell that he wanted what was best for us and wanted us to find our perfect home!

Travis was AMAZING to work with! He was communicative, efficient, timely, kind, and helpful! Moving across the country without being able to do an on-site tour was stressful, but we were able to put our trust in Travis and the process went smoothly and professionally. Honestly, working with Travis was the easiest and best part of our cross country move. I couldn’t recommend him enough!!! If I could give him 10 stars, I would! On move in day he even met us and dropped off a gift and toys for my kids! 10/10!
Thank you Travis!

Travis did a great job. Anyone who has made a long distance move knows how many little things fall to your real estate agent that you can't get to when you are on the other side of the country. Travis was with us every step of the way, even getting us an agent in Arizona to sell our current house!

Our move from Utah to Iowa would have been a nightmare without Travis. He went above and beyond to make sure the process went smoothly for us as first-time home buyers from searching to closing on our dream home. He was not only knowledgeable, attentive, and communicative but he is a genuine, honest, kind, good person who demonstrated professionalism, integrity, and neighbor-like friendliness. We underwent the entire process virtually and knew we could trust Travis entirely. He not only found the perfect home for our family, but helped us get settled and connected to the community by providing information and resources as well as dropping off a doormat, plant, and gift basket as soon as we arrived. I have family members who are realtors who have commented on how rare of a find it was and how lucky we got with Travis. I would give him 10 stars if I could and will recommend him to everyone I know moving to the area.

"Above and beyond" are the words that best describe Travis and Libby. They sold my father's condo for us 3 years ago. When it came time to sell our house this year, we did not hesitate to contact them again. They made the process as smooth and flawless as possible, providing us with whatever assistance we needed. We highly recommend them!

Travis has been very helpful in the process of buying our new home here in Cedar Rapids. He was recommended by our previous RA and he has done pretty good job. Travis's USP is his readily availability on request and is very responsive over text and is a helpful man. We are glad that we have him onboard...

Travis helped determine a reasonable price for my house and then put it on the market to cover a wide audience. He presented offers to buy to me and explained them discussing pros and cons of each. Once an offer was accepted and inspection completed Travis assisted with some needed repairs. He is honest and dependable and I recommend him highly.

There are not enough good things to say! We originally thought we didn’t need anyone since we were buying a new build… we were wrong!!! Both Libby and Travis are extremely knowledgeable and detail oriented. They are up to date with policies and procedures and are 3 steps ahead on what needs to be done and by when. This is invaluable!! They made the process as seamless as possible and were available whenever we needed them. Without a doubt, Libby is the person you want by your side for this process! 10/10… would recommend!!

About NextHome Beyond
NextHome Beyond | Real Estate in Iowa’s CorridorNextHome Beyond is a modern real estate brokerage serving the Iowa City and Cedar Rapids Corridor—including North Liberty, Coralville, Tiffin, and surrounding communities. Founded in 2019 by Broker/Owner Travis Hiatt, the company was built on a simple idea: real estate doesn’t end at closing… and neither should your agent.
We help buyers, sellers, and investors navigate every stage of the real estate process across Eastern Iowa—from first conversations to final signatures, and well beyond. Whether you’re relocating near the University of Iowa, upgrading your home in the Cedar Rapids metro, or investing in Corridor real estate, our approach is hands-on, strategic, and built for long-term success.
The Corridor is one of Iowa’s most active and desirable regions, known for its strong housing market, thriving communities, and local attractions like the University of Iowa, Cedar Rapids Kernels baseball, Lake Macbride State Park, and a growing list of wineries, trails, and outdoor destinations. Understanding this market at a hyper-local level is where we separate ourselves.
At NextHome Beyond, we don’t just focus on transactions—we focus on outcomes. That means helping you make smarter decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and create a plan that continues to work for you after closing day.
Because the truth is…
Buying or selling a home is just one step.
What comes next is where the real value begins.
Around here, we believe your agent should still matter after closing day. If they don’t… who did you really hire?
