Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
Dan Baty has been the most honest and knowledgable realtor I have worked with. This is my third home that I have purchased. The house was a foreclosure and was not very straight forward deal. But , he has been above and beyond with his service throughout the process. I have no hesitation to recommend him to anybody who is looking for a home in Cedar Rapids and surrounding areas. He puts clients first. He focused on clients peace of mind and explains everything throughout the process....

I purchased my first home with Cal and he made the process very easy for myself. He explained the process to me and checked in with me every step of the way. The city of Cedar Rapids went through a natural disaster as we were getting ready to close on the house and the process was delayed and Cal was the perfect realtor to have during that process of making sure repairs were done to the home before the we closed. If you need a realtor in the Cedar Rapids area, I would definitely recommend Cal Ernst.

Gary worked with me to get an estate property cleaned up and ready to sell. After going through the house, Gary gave me an evaluation of the property's value based upon a couple of different scenarios: 1. As it was the day he went through it. 2. What it would be worth after it was cleaned up. 3. What it would be worth if varying fix it projects were done. After cleaning things up and doing some fix it projects, Gary came back through the house and indicated not only that the house looked better than he thought it would, but that market conditions might have changed since we had originally discussed the property. Based upon Gary's advice, we listed it much higher than his original evaluation and it sold at full contract price. Gary was very clear with what we could expect and he was good for his word.

Deanna Long deserves much higher than a 5 ??. We interviewed 4 realtors before listing my mother’s home. Deanna outshined the others with her professional presentation, helpful ideas, highest suggested listing price and quick communications. The house sold immediately. The closing was on time. We couldn’t be more pleased! Thanks so much Deanna Long and Coldwell Banker Hedges Realty!

This past year, Gary helped us (my sister and me) sell our mom's home, and we also worked directly with him on a side project involving another home he was selling. These two projects ended up lasting longer than we had hoped due to Covid and the Derecho. But even though Gary had been directly affected by the Derecho, he never got sidetracked, and was always even-keeled, patient, and on-the-ball. After 6+ months of working with Gary we can honestly say that he is one of the hardest-working, honest, caring, and diligent realtors/people we know. Gary was always very quick to reply to our messages, and treated us with utmost respect. It is said that the busiest people get the most done, and we believe that saying describes Gary to a T! Gary is a class act and we both highly recommend him!

Cal was great! We were able to meet with him within a day. He made the paperwork process easy by having everything ready when we arrived. His assistant, Wendy, is also great. She knows what she is doing! Cal also made us feel very comfortable with our choices. He has a very relaxed attitude that relieves some of the stress of buying a home. We just settled into the home of our dreams because of him!!!

Laurie was such an amazing help when we purchased or home. She walked us through the process step-by-step and answered all of our questions. My husband is out of town a lot, and she was willing to work with our crazy schedules and even do conference calls in the late evening to work out details of our purchase. She had great resources to get our home inspected and get us in it as soon as possible. We were not even looking for a home when we found ours, but Laurie made the experience so easy that I can't imagine anyone else guiding us through the process. She is absolutely amazing!

During the last 45 years we have purchased and sold over 8 homes. Without a doubt, Deanna Long is the best realtor we've ever worked with. Deanna worked diligently with us on finding a new home including the property and builder. She kept us updated and informed every step of the way. Deanna went above and beyond when it came to selling our existing home. When we could not find a contractor to repair our derecho damaged fence, she didn't stop searching until she found someone to restore the fence. Deanna's professionalism, honesty, and good nature made it a pleasure to work with her. We highly recommend Deanna if you are buying or selling a home.

Cal went above and beyond in every aspect as our Realtor. From staging the house to finding solid comparables to the market, Cal was excellent. He kept a consistent pulse on our property and had impeccable follow-up after an open house to ensure that we knew where our options were and who had shown interest, etc. Cal's experience, knowledge of the area, and relationships with a wide net of realtors / local businesses makes him an excellent choice as a realtor. I would highly recommend his services.
