Great to work with/ thinks on his feet. First time home buyer. Went through all possible options like small home, large home, farm, apartment building and then some. Chris was helpful at all stages as I figured out what I want and can afford. Thanks, I appreciated it very much.

Great realtor and property manager . This guy works hard! Worked as my property manager for my apartment while waiting for it to sell. Wish I had always been using him. Definitely had my best interests as a priority. Very polite and real.

I’ve bought 3 homes in Ames, and find Chris to be super knowledgeable about the real estate market, the ins and outs of the process from market value to insurance details, and how to turn over every rock to find the best option and/or overcome any hurdle that might appear. He’s a good guy to have on your side, and I’d definitely recommend him to my friends and family.

Christopher Betts Goes the Extra Mile For His Clients. We met Chris at the Open House and he was very knowledgeable about the house and the local area. Chris was also at the.inspection of the house giving us tips on the findings along with several local names of companies and individuals that could do the work. Chris texted several of them to us so we could easily make contact to discuss the work we wanted done. The main reason that we feel that Chris went the extra mile was that he suggested a person to stretch some carpets, he opened the house for him on the weekend, and he cleaned the carpets after they were stretched. Chris continues to be a source of information for our questions after the closing. Chris answers emails, texts and phone calls promptly, getting us answers to our questions.

Chris and his team are friendly and easy to work with. Chris is invested in his clients and takes the time to make the transaction go as smooth as possible. We purchased a home with only a virtual walk through, putting all our trust in the team. Upon our final walk through, there were no surprises, everything we saw was mentioned by Chris during the virtual tours. We had some bumps along the way that were unexpected, he was able to work through all of them and close the deal. I highly recommend the Betts team, they will keep you updated daily through the process, has a high level of knowledge in the industry, and easy to work with.

Chris is very professional and friendly. This is the first time I purchase a house and know nothing about house (different types of house) and what are the steps involved. Basically Chris guided me along the way and told me what to do. He is very responsive and efficient! He will work with your schedule (I work everyday and we meet after work). Chris is always proactive and checked multiple places with me until I found the one I like. He is very detailed and will offer useful tips and advice. Most importantly, he never gets tired of answering my questions since I have a lot of questions as a first time homeowner from the house to the finance side of it. Again, great service!

Chris was great to work with during the process of finding our first home! He was knowledgeable about pros and cons of different properties and was flexible with our schedule to make sure we could view any house we liked! He was always a quick message or phone call away to answer any questions we had. I would highly recommend him for any of your real estate needs!
