Libby was courteous, helpful and honest. During the home buying process, she handled a lot of details that made for a smooth closing. I would highly recommend her to future clients.

There are not enough good things to say! We originally thought we didn’t need anyone since we were buying a new build… we were wrong!!! Both Libby and Travis are extremely knowledgeable and detail oriented. They are up to date with policies and procedures and are 3 steps ahead on what needs to be done and by when. This is invaluable!! They made the process as seamless as possible and were available whenever we needed them. Without a doubt, Libby is the person you want by your side for this process! 10/10… would recommend!!

Travis was vey responsive with any questions we had and was able to guide us through the process of selling our house. I highly recommend Travis for all of your realtor needs!

We are very appreciative of Travis and Libby. My husband and I needed home ASAP and they worked very hard and found us a home that is very close to our dream home. They were very tentative to our needs and went above and beyond to ensure we get the home to we loved. Upon working with Travis and Libby, you'll quickly learned that they are not in this business for money, instead, they are in it to make families happy by finding them their NextHome. As a first time homeowners, they have made us very happy.

I highly recommend Travis to anyone who might be trying to buy a house to consider Travis as your agent. He recently helped us in a process of buying our first home, not only that he was our agent he also took on a task of a friend in helping us ask right questions and giving us hints on what to look into when buying a home, moreover he still takes our calls and answers our questions after our closing. he's just a decent and reliable person to work with.

Travis and his team were exceptional!! They made the entire selling process comfortable and explained every step.

Our house was sold within 30 days!!

Absolutely amazing customer service. Prompt and fast to respond and caring. Above and beyond service I have ever seen. I would highly recommend them for Real estate sales.

Travis was amazing to work with! He explained everything we had questions about for selling our house. Offered good suggestions during negotiations. 10/10 would work with him again!

Travis Hiatt took very good care of my family and I in our relocation to the Iowa City area. From finding homes of interest, to details and future plans of the area, schools to demographics, resale valuations and lenders. We really appreciate everything he and Next Home did for us in the seamless purchase of our home. Would use again and highly recommend!

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.”

I was evacuated from my apartment due to structural issues and was living out of a hotel. Travis helped me find a house in my price range and got the deal closed in under a month. He went above and beyond to help me get settled into my new house.

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.

Libby Thiltgen is a remarkable person widely respected for her professionalism, knowledge charm and perseverance. If you are buying or selling a home we highly recommend her. And she takes phone calls early and late you will always know where you stand

Travis helped determine a reasonable price for my house and then put it on the market to cover a wide audience. He presented offers to buy to me and explained them discussing pros and cons of each. Once an offer was accepted and inspection completed Travis assisted with some needed repairs. He is honest and dependable and I recommend him highly.

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.

Overall, Travis was amazing to work with. As first time homebuyers, my fiancé and I loved how flexible and patient Travis was! He communicated with us clearly and frequently, he was knowledgeable about home construction, and even pointed out home improvement opportunities as we visited potential homes. You could truly tell that he wanted what was best for us and wanted us to find our perfect home!

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

Travis was excellent from the start , went above and beyond to point areas that would help in selling my unit, I would recommend Mr Hiatt to anyone trying to sell or buy , would use him again if need arises, thanks Travis

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!
