Kooyman Real Estate Team, Altoona IA

I can wholeheartedly recommend the Kooyman team to anyone planning to buy or sell real estate in Central Iowa. I have worked with Doug and Kathy recently to purchase a residential property near the Iowa State University campus in Ames, Iowa. It was a tight market; we made offers on several properties before finally getting an acceptance. Doug was more than willing to make the hour and 15 minute drive from our home in Pella to Ames and return many times for viewings and later for the closing processes.
Beyond the property purchasing process, be sure to consult Doug, a lumber yard owner in a past life, about building materials, contractors and the construction techniques, especially when you have questions evaluating the quality of properties considered for purchase.
The Kooymans are very knowledgeable, and experienced, as well as accommodating. Working with them made a process that can be frustrating and tedious, actually quite enjoyable. We were able to close on our purchase in record time and remain satisfied that we got a good deal that more than meets our needs and expectations.
We will certainly enlist their services, if we are again in need of a real estate agency.

Excellent team. I have worked with them both buying and selling a home. Very experienced and great to work with.

Kathy, Mariah and Doug are the greatest! Kathy really has everything under control to keep the process running smoothly and hooked us up with a great lender. Doug knows just what to look for when vetting properties and helped us select just the right property. Thanks Kooymans!

Kathy was absolutely amazing! She always responded right away to calls and texts. She was extremely patient and took the time to explain everything to help us make the best decision. The Kooyman Team put in a tremendous amount of time and effort in advertising, showings, the open house. We were so impressed with their response to our needs. If you are interested in buying or selling, The Kooyman Real Estate Team is the BEST! We could not have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend them!

This team helped my husband and I find the perfect home. We had quite a list of things we wanted and they didn't give up! Professional, kind, honest, knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this team. We couldn't be happier with our experience.

Kathy and Doug Kooyman were amazing to work with. They listened to us in what we were looking for in a house and home. After looking at multiple homes we found the perfect place. They helped us with closing and were very patient with us as we got all our ducks in a row to get the house. I highly recommend them if you are searching for a new home because they are amazing.

The Kooyman Team is great to work with. They are very knowledge and understand their clients needs. If you're buying or selling The Kooyman Team can help you out. Keep up the great work!

This team will work hard for you. They made the whole buying and selling process quick and easy. We looked at our dream house, immediately made an offer and they went to bat for us to get our offer accepted over competing offers. I do not think we would have been able to buy our house if it had not been for the Kooyman Real Estate Team. We cannot thank you enough! Highly recommend!

Answers questions with expert-level information in a timely manner. Consistently goes above and beyond to provide what the client needs or wants. Extensive knowledge-base of desirable real-estate adjacent professionals (lenders, contractors, etc). Offers referrals to top agents for those moving out of state.

This team is simply the best! They made me feel like family, they cared for me every step of the way. The communication was fantastic! They explained portions of the process that I did not understand. They took extra steps to help me wherever needed! I was even invited to spend time with them at Thanksgiving.
These are people that truly care about their customers!

The Kooyman Real Estate Team went above and beyond for us! We were first time home buyers and in this crazy market, they went out of their way for us. They are always readily available to ask questions and their knowledge of the current market is unmatched. I would recommend them to any of our friends or family trying to find their home!

I was ready for a change and Kathy and Doug made that possible! They each used their expertise with my transition. I was informed of each step of both selling my home and then buying a condominium. Doug was helpful with advice on the remodeling done prior to my move. I recommend the Kooyman Team for your Real Estate needs!

When our elderly parents needed to move and we siblings all lived far away, their help was PRICELESS. They went above and beyond to facilitate local services and communicate with us. They certainly EARNED their commission in a complicated situation with their expertise, experience, hard work and dedication. We are so grateful they advocated for us.

Kathy & Doug are the best real estate brokers I have ever worked with, and I have worked with several both in my personal life and throughout my career. They are incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and professional, and I look forward to working with them on many future real estate transactions!

It is obvious, the Kooymans love what they do. They are wonderful at connecting people! Integrity, intuitive, flexible and great listeners - these are words I would use to describe the Kooyman's. Our family was new to the Pella market and we met Doug and Kathy at an open house. We weren't really sure when or if we wanted to buy, but Doug was happy to show us places that very day. They were excited to share the Pella community with us. That was my favorite part of working with the Kooymans - they made us feel comfortable asking any questions and helped us to get a feel for neighborhoods. Over the next few months they were willing to look for whatever we were interested in-and we were all over. We are so grateful that our experience finding our condo was such a good one with VERY experienced guides.

The Kooyman Real Estate Team is absolutely amazing! They all went above & beyond in helping us find our new home! They are very straight forward, always available to answer questions, & was able to set up showings on a whim! I would recommend them to anyone & I wouldn’t use anyone else if we ever needed another realtor! It was fate when Kathy answered my phone call! I would definitely give them more than 5 stars if I could!

The Kooyman’s were fantastic to work with and we cannot recommend them enough. They were highly dedicated to finding our perfect home and their expertise and strategies were invaluable in helping us navigate a competitive market at the time. They were highly responsive and quick to have our backs with any issues, and gave us full confidence throughout each process. We highly recommend the Kooyman team to anyone!
