Travis Hiatt

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.”

Travis & Libby made the selling/buying of our homes So smooth and easy. Thank you for all of your help-you’re both so appreciated!

Correction to my previous recommendation:
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 so glad that we have him onboard...

We are so thankful to have Travis and Libby help us through the home selling process. They went above and beyond for us! We would highly recommend using them for buying or selling your house.

Travis was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He got me top dollar without any hassle.

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.

Travis is very friendly and helpful, always willing to do what's asked. I happily recommend him to anyone seeking a realtor.

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!

Travis sold our town home quickly which helped tremendously with our out of state move. He was professional and quick to answer any and all of our questions. The photographer he used for our listing and drone footage was very good and made our townhome look top notch. I'd recommend Travis to anyone who wanted to sell their home!

Travis was great. As a first time home buyer, I didn’t know the first thing about purchasing a home but Travis explained everything in a concise, easy to understand manner. He was very flexible, and good at getting information.

Having conducted the whole home buying process remotely, Travis went above and beyond to make sure that we knew everything about the home before we made an offer. I would gladly recommend Travis to anyone looking to buy a house in the Iowa City area.

Travis did an excellent job in all aspects of assisting in the sale of our home. With his knowledge of the area market he was able to provide us with an accurate value of our home. Travis was most informative in letting us know what to expect along the selling trail and was there for us to answer any questions we could some up with. If you want someone who can sell your home fast for the highest dollar, grab Travis.

Absolutely recommend Travis and his team. He made our home selling experience quick and easy. He was able to get us an amazing price in just one day on the market. We are so thankful we chose him!

He was very knowledgeable and helped me learn more about the real estate buying process.

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.

When we decided it was time to sell our parants' 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 knowledgable, prepared, and respectful. They truly do put their customers first.

Travis was absolutely wonderful to work with. He responded quickly and left us with no unanswered questions while selling our home. He worked for us every step of the way. We excepted an offer within 24 hours of listing our home. I would say he is an excellent agent! We would like to thank him for all his hard work he put into selling our home and we would definitely use him in the future as well as recommend him to anyone. Thank you Travis!!

Travis was there for my every step of the way. He is very knowledgeable. Being a first time buyer, he explained everything in a way I actually understood. Travis was great at answering all my questions. I am very luck to have had crossed paths with him. He truly does go beyond.

Travis is outstanding!! He made our move totally stress free! We could not be any happier with our decision to trust Travis to sell our home.

Travis was awesome to work with! We had a bit of a unique situation that he handled with ease. Hes very educated in the field of Real Estate. Great to work with! Would highly recommend him for your buying/selling needs.

Travis was amazing to work with! Had everything done in a timely manner, even faster. He was always on top of everything and we never had to worry about details. I would highly recommend using him to buy or sell!

Mr. Hiatt provided a professional yet personal service. My family couldn’t be happier. I would recommend Mr. Hiatt to any home buyer or seller. His business ethic is on point and the level of expertise he provides is unmatched. Very satisfied!!
