Katie was amazing! Knew exactly what I wanted and was able to put me at ease as a first time homeowner. I was able to put in my full trust to her, which decreased a lot of stress. Will definitely be working with Katie again when needed!

Katie was great to work with. She was not pushy and was very personable. She showed us many homes and stayed patient with us throughout the buying process. I would suggest her to anyone looking to buy around the lakes!

Working with Erica was such a great experience! She helped us find the perfect home by really listening to what we were looking for and consistently sending us new listings that matched our needs. She was always reliable, friendly, responsive, and so easy to work with throughout the entire process. We truly appreciated her guidance and support every step of the way. I would highly recommend Erica to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

1000% recommend Katie. She helped us find our first house- which was a challenge due to our very tight budget- and then helped us sell that same house when it was time for us to move on. She is always so professional but also personable, she is a very easy person to work with. She takes so much of the stress out of a very big purchase!
She also helped us find a realtor to buy our new home when we moved to a different area.
If you have the opportunity to work with Katie, TAKE IT!

Katie was an excellent VA resource for the homebuying process. Katie was knowledgeable, professional, and advised us on the ins and outs of VA loan requirements.

Katie exceeded expectations with her ability to negotiate appropriate terms, provide structural feedback through networked contacts, and advocate for her clients through responsive communication.

When it came time to sell our home in Milford and find our dream home in Spencer, we didn’t hesitate when it came to calling Erica! She made our first time process amazing and she out did herself this time around! She truly listened to what we wanted/needed for our family! The process could not have gone better and having Erica around to answer our sometimes silly questions was always helpful! Highly recommend her to everyone!

We had a wonderful experience working with Erica during the sale of our childhood home as part of our mom’s estate. She was knowledgeable, professional, and provided thoughtful, appropriate feedback on pricing based on the current market. Erica worked seamlessly with other agents throughout the process and always kept us informed. Most importantly, she showed such kindness and compassion during an emotional time as we said goodbye to a home filled with so many memories. We truly appreciated her guidance. Thank you Erica.

Erica was recommended to us due to her affiliation with the Homes for Heroes program. She listened to what we desired in a home and showed us a variety. When we made our pick, she supported us fully in the buying process, even going above and beyond her realtor duties. We are eternally grateful for her help in finding our forever home. I would not hesitate to share her name and expertise with anyone who is searching for their next home!

Home buyer and seller Apr 6, 2026
Working with Erica was truly an exceptional experience from start to finish. I was purchasing my home from across the country, and she went far beyond what I would have ever expected to make the process seamless and stress-free.

She handled countless details behind the scenes, always staying one step ahead and ensuring nothing was overlooked. One example that really stood out was when she returned to the home to take detailed measurements so I could confidently order furniture before closing, something she absolutely didn’t have to do, but did without hesitation.

Her attention to detail is outstanding, and her communication gave me complete confidence throughout the entire process. I always felt that my best interests were her top priority.

What makes her even more special is her involvement with Homes for Heroes, where she gives back a portion of her commission to those who have served, including healthcare providers and military members. That level of integrity and generosity speaks volumes about who she is, both professionally and personally.

I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you want someone who is not only skilled and knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in her clients, she is your gal!

Katie helped us find a vacation home on short notice, and worked with precision and speed as the deal came together very quickly. Katie has been a great resource, even after the offer was accepted going to the property several times for us because we live out of town. It's been great to work with Katie and would highly recommend Katie.

I had the pleasure of working with Bridget Johnson to purchase the Gingham Inn and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

From the very beginning, Bridget was an incredible partner in this process. She walked me through every step and made what could have been overwhelming feel manageable. She handled negotiations, coordinated inspections, and kept everything moving without me having to worry about the details.

One of the things I appreciated most was how she communicated. She stayed in touch, explained things clearly, and always made sure I knew what was going on. I never felt out of the loop and I always knew I could reach out with questions. Also, her knowledge is second to none.

Even after closing, Bridget didn’t disappear. She continued to check in and connect me with helpful resources as I work to get up and running.

She’s professional, easy to work with, and genuinely cares about her clients. I know there are a lot of good realtors out there, but Bridget will be the one to get my future business.

We hired Mike Hemiller to list our rental property in Spirit Lake Iowa and we were very happy working with Mike.
Mike has a vast array of experience and was very good about advising us as well as keeping up with communication on what was happening with potential buyers. Mike is very humble and easy to work with.
We will definitely list our other properties with Mike in the future.

Heather and I first met with Bridget Johnson in April of 2024. She was very knowledgeable about how we could sell our lake home. She toured the house, patio, dock, yard and garden. She took photographs and made suggestions to improve the sales value of our property. She made a thorough analysis of the value of our property.
We decided to utilize her professionalism and listed the property in March. Bridget guided us through the sale, step by step without a problem. We recommend Bridget Johnson!
