" " 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. "

" 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. "

- Alvaro Reasnover (Manager Post Office Operations)

" "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! "

- Brian and Stephanie W.

" 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.” "

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.
