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!

"We were trying to do it on our own FSBO. Travis called one day and didn't try to BS us, he said we might be leaving some money on the table. He asked if we netted more and still paid him, would that be okay? I said of course but didn't believe him. Well, he came over and showed us a few things that we missed and a lot more they do. Holy cow, there is more to it than I knew. He delivered! Over delivered, saved us a lot of headaches and hassle, and sold it for even more than he originally said and far more than we tried to get! I honestly will never sell on my own again and will leave it to the professionals, for us Travis and NextHome Beyond are those professionals." P.S. Travis, we now know why you say "Beyond" for your service...well done!

Travis was very patient and helpful as we looked at new homes. He helped us get a buyer for our old house in less than a week. Travis helped us negotiate a good deal for our new place and was very helpful throughout the buying and selling process. He didn't forget about us after the sale and took care of little things that came up later.

Travis, went above and beyond. He got me two offers. He even assisted with going back and fourth to let companies in. No way could I have done this sell on my own 600 miles away.

We've worked with Travis for three different moves now. He found and sold our first and second homes, as we build our third and "forever home." Every single sale, both on the buy and sale side has been so smooth when working with him. He has truly become a friend to the full family in the process. He makes everything easy to understand, goes above and beyond in his promotion (drone, 3D tour, social posts, multiple open houses), and we love his positivity. If you're in a market he serves, look no further than Travis! He will make it easy, get you the best deal, and pays attention to the details so you can focus on your next chapter. Thank you, Travis!

When we decided it was time to sell our parent's condominium, we needed to select a realtor. When interviewing NextHome Beyond, Travis and Libby came to the meeting prepared. They presented us with a booklet specific to our home. The information showed us that they understand the current market and their customers' needs. They had done their homework before even sitting down with us.
They immediately communicated with 3 MLS listing agencies and made personal contact with realtors in the area. Throughout the process, Travis and Libby were there to guide us and respected our decisions. They were always available to answer our questions and discuss our options.
Would we recommend NextHome Beyond? Yes, without hesitation! Travis and Libby are knowledgeable, prepared, and respectful. They truly do put their customers first.

We were selling our home in Arizona to make a move to Iowa. Our Arizona realtor advised that our home would sell within days of putting it on the market. Our circumstances required an experienced professional who knew the local Iowa market; as we would be buying an Iowa property prior to selling ours and also buying it remotely. Travis was knowledgeable in price points of property and of value associated with certain locations within the Iowa area. He guided us toward good prospective property within days if it appearing in the MLS. We did a zoom call video of the property with Travis. He helped us put in a full price offer on a condo with the only Contingency that it pass inspection. Scarey but a wise decision. Once the Iowa offer was accepted we put our Arizona home on the market. This was one of the most unusual property transactions for us ti buy a home without seeing it ! Travis took care if all the details remotely. Tge paperwork; title and even an APP to do a checklist of setting up utility services etc. Travis made this transaction effortless for us. Everything done remotely. Its a 2020 world.
