“We sold Dads house when he moved into senior living apts. Tami was everything we were hoping for & more!! She did a fantastic job of helping us get the most out of dads house & even helped us with suggestions on how to best clean his house out. She was never pushy & we couldn't have ask for a better realtor! Thank You Tami!!!”

“C21 Ames, please make sure to read this one in the next weekly meeting. 😉 Tami is and has always been the best. We would have been absolutley lost without her this past year. If you broke down her commission check into every phone call and meeting and showing and panicked-emergency-cocktails-on-the-porch meet-up, she probably was making less than $1/hour. We are lucky to have her as our real estate agent and even luckier she somehow claims us as friends. This whole adventure/dream/project was her idea to begin with, and we couldn't be more grateful!”
-

“In addition to a co-worker's recommendation, Tami' Hicks' online reviews helped us make the decision. There were other first-time buyers who commented on Tami's ability to talk them through the process and her patience in helping them find what they were looking for. That definitely was true of our experience. Tami went above and beyond to make sure we found the right place for our family. I also appreciated her overall knowledge of how the various parts and systems of a house work. I had heard horror stories about the closing process, but Tami's guidance and help made it feel pretty easy.”
-
“Tami once again did a great job helping me sell my home. I had some unexpected health issues shortly before listing my home that impacted our timeline and made it imperative that we sell it within a certain timeframe.

“We have an old family friend that used to work with Tami. She came highly recommended. From the beginning, I can tell she tailored her sales tactic to our particular attitude/personalities and it was highly appreciated. Through the whole process, Tami was very responsive and caring about the minute details of our situation/requirements. We are a multi-family household and Tami made sure to hunt and show us properties that would fit our life needs. The market for these requirements was small but she found the right spots to show us. Tami did not fluff things up for us. While some clients may respond well to that sort of tactic, we are very "to the point / no flourishing". I can tell Tami picked up on that right away and tuned her sales approach to our liking. It was a breath of fresh air to have someone get on our level and talk to us the way we respond well to. We were on the same page through the whole process as far as re pore.”

“Tami Hicks was extremely patient and helpful throughout the whole process. When we first met I was just in the information gathering stages of what it takes to buy a home and she answered all my questions and as we started looking at houses and making an offer she explained everything very concisely so I always knew what was going on. I would highly recommend her to everyone I know, whether you’re looking for your first house or your tenth.”
-
“Tami was incredible to work with. She took the initiative to help me with things I didn't know about when buying my first house and explained everything in an easy to understand and useful way.

“We have worked with Tami in the past. She has a lot of experience, listens to what we need/want and is understanding and smart. Our sale was hard. It had a lot of complex details and was pending and failed because of the buyers financing. We had several offers and it was a really stressful situation but we trusted Tami with the sale and we would trust her again. Tami does a great job. We are hard clients and expect a lot but she was patient, kind, and respectful. Tami’s assistant always goes above and beyond as well as the other office staff. It was a very stressful sale but it wasn’t because of our side. Tami handled the ups and downs of the transaction well and our brokers were there to give her advice when it was needed.”
-
“Tami Hicks did great and was there every time we needed her to be there and then some! She even offered to come along when the seller invited us over to look through their furniture to see if there was anything we wanted to keep. She was very helpful during negotiations and got us an accepted offer below our ideal buying price. We had a few hiccups with the mortgage lender and ended up switching last minute but Tami was very helpful while we were trying to navigate through and she always had our backs and our best interest. She did everything in her power to double and then triple check that we would still be able to keep our closing date, even with switching lenders just a couple weeks out! My brother and sister have both utilized Tami's services and we will all continue to recommend her in the future!”

“I contacted Tami Hicks based on the recommendation of a person in a study group. I knew that Tami helped this person sell their property in Ames, Iowa in a very short period of time early in 2015. Tami set me at ease immediately at our first meeting in June 2015. She was friendly, helpful, but never "pushy". Tami is highly informed; she always gave me good recommendations and explanations about what came next in the process. I truly appreciated Tami's patience with me when I felt I needed to follow a slightly different path at times. I also appreciated that Tami responded quickly whenever I had a question or concern. Over all I was very happy working with Tami and the few contacts I had with her other staff. Everyone was so helpful and made the sale of my home less stressful, especially when I moved out of state and needed them to do some local tasks that I could not handle easily from a long distance. I would definitely recommend Tami Hicks to anyone in the Ames/ Des Moines, Iowa area. And thanks again Tami for helping me sell my former home !!”

“Tami took the time for an after hours viewing of a property that was 1/2 hour away from her office and was on a Friday evening (and she did it with a smile!). She then went back home and drew up an offer to purchase for us and got us into the pool of other prospective buyer (10 others plus ours) and with her helpful knowledge of the best ways to improve our odds of getting the winning offer, we came out on top. Thank you Tami Hicks for all that you have done to help us with our real estate purchase!”
-
“Even if you didn't know that Tami has years of experience in real estate and in living in Central Iowa, it is obvious when working with her that she has a wealth of knowledge about all real estate and property transactions, and she clearly knows what she's doing. Although we were looking for a home in an extremely fast-moving sellers' market, Tami never pressured us to make a quick decision. Tami is honest, she is realistic, and generous with her time. Moving out of state, most of our transactions and questions had to be done by email and text, but she was quick to communicate and get us the answers we needed - as well as the answers we didn't even know we needed.”
