“Making the biggest move of my life with my family of 3 with our newborn son couldn't have gone smoother due to have the guidance and support from Tyler. Tyler made the experience exciting and fun and we always felt he had our best interest in mind. My wife and I couldn't be happier with our experience and would only recommend Tyler for our friends and family for their realestate needs.”

“Tyler & Maddie were awesome to work with”

“Tyler Wilkening was great to work with on the purchase/construction of our new home. He is extremely knowledgeable of the entire process from start to finish, and it was comforting having someone with his experience to help answer questions and put our minds at ease if we ever had questions or concerns. He was always available or very quick to get back us if we ever called or texted. He made sure we knew we could go to him whenever we needed with questions or concerns through the process. It was great being able to go to him the second we had a question about the build, or wanted something changed, and knew that it would get relayed to the builder quickly. During our walk though before closing where we marked things that needed touched up, Tyler was very attentive to detail and was noting/marking just as much, if not more, as my wife and I for areas that needed fixed or touched up. It was great to know that Tyler had our backs and wanted to make sure our home was beautiful and move-in ready and that nothing needing fixed was missed. Tyler is also one of the most approachable and relatable real estate agents I have ever worked with, and you never feel like you are asking a dumb question with him, and he was always happy to explain anything that we may have asked him. He always had time for us and made sure we understood everything throughout the process. I would recommend Tyler Wilkening to anybody buying or selling a home.”

“Tyler Wilkening was fantastic to work with. He was always readily available to answer any questions we had about the entire process. He was extremely patient with us asking questions about the process, or when we wanted his opinion on something, and no question was a dumb question and he was happy to help explain any questions or walk us through any concerns we may have had. He had a great idea of what exactly our house was worth, as well as the target market we were trying to sell to. He also worked tirelessly behind the scenes. We had an offer that looked like it was going to fall through, and Tyler got to work calling other agents with buyers He knew were interested and had us another offer lined up the second the first offer fell through. He is an agent that will go to bat and work tirelessly for his clients, and I would recommend him to anyone.”
-
“Tyler was a huge help in selling my townhome! His knowledge of the area was very helpful in determining a selling price and it sold for more than any previous townhomes in the association. He worked very late to deal with an offer and I was under contract within 24 hours. I am very pleased with the result!”
-
“Tyler helped us build our house from 3 states away. This is no small feat as there is a lot of choices and things that need done when building. We appreciate his hard work, openness to change in order to fit our needs being out of state, and the speed at which any issue was attended to. His persistence especially came in helpful at closing, and he helped so much in working around our family emergency that came up unexpectedly just before closing. He helped relieve a lot of pressure for my wife and I and allowed us to focus on what we needed to in an incredibly stressful time.”

“Tyler was very knowledgeable. His assistant Maddie took charge & made sure all the paperwork was in order. Sale went smoothly”

“Tyler helped me find the perfect home, and neighborhood for my daughter and I. As a single Mom it was critical that my relator understood my price range, timeline, and everything that goes with doing this as a single buyer. He helped me look at things at homes that I would not have thought of and made sure I was making an informed decision. He understood the importance of me finding the right home, and the investment I was making. Tyler and his team worked around the clock to make the process amazing. They were timely, organized and friendly. I was honestly so surprised how enjoyable this process was vs. stressful. I could not have asked for a better experience, and would recommend Tyler and his team.”

“Tyler was great to work with selling our home. He was very helpful and clearly has excellent knowledge of the real estate industry and the local market.

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Tyler a few times over the years. Tyler helped me through the home build process with Brothers Company Builders. Most recently, Tyler helped with the sell of my home for a work relocation. Both times, Tyler and his team have gone above and beyond to ensure my needs were taken care of. The home buying/selling experience can be scary but Tyler is a wealth of knowledge and puts you at easy with the way he helps you navigate the process. I am thankful I was recommended to Tyler 5 years ago. Tyler will be the first call I make for any future realtor needs. I highly recommend.”

“Tyler walked us through buying a new construction home. He was always available to help negotiate little changes and requests that we made for the home. COVID-19 made the buying process different, but he was able to think outside the box and make accommodations to make sure all was right with the house we bought. Highly recommend!”

“I had seriously considered using a 'For Sale By Owner' method since I was selling my Mother's home as part of a trust after her death & it didn't seem to be a very complicated sale, however, my husband convinced me to use Tyler Wilkening again since he did such a good job selling our home 6 months prior. Boy, am I glad we did! The first buyer tried to pull a couple of fast scams on us that I would never have caught, but Tyler, with his extensive experience, did. We ended up with a much better sale & saved me a ton of money & aggravation. Kudos to Tyler and Maddie! Tyler's assistant Maddie is a true gem. She was always polite and professional and just a happy, upbeat person to deal with. She supported Tyler by taking care of all the nuts & bolts of the transactions we were involved in.”

“We have used Tyler to sell two properties and to purchase one. He was very honest and upfront from the get go, got us an amazing deal on the house we purchased and I honestly don’t think we would have sold our other properties without him. Each time he has been tremendous help and support. He was always prompt, anything that needed to be taken care if he got done for us, in fact I’m really going to miss him taking care of everything we needed! He’s so knowledgeable and knows the right people for every situation. All around awesome guy, highly recommended.”
-
“We have used Tyler twice now. This first time was very straightforward. This time was very stressful because we were also dealing with flooding in the home we were selling. Tyler went above and beyond to make everything more simple. My husband and I joked later that if we ever flood again we should move again because having Tyler’s help through everything made the home purchase and sale, as well as flood clean up much easier.”

“With our lease coming to an end, and our budget being the most competitive range in Des Moines, we were nervous about searching for a home. We sat down with our bank and came up with a budget we felt comfortable with, and began working with Tyler per our bank's recommendation. Tyler respected our budget, our time, our wants/needs in a home, and never pushed our opinions- simply brought up his own being he's been around the metro and seen a lot more houses than we have! He's got an incredible pool of connections, which ultimately lead to us getting into our dream home a day before anyone else, and negotiating an offer before anyone else so much as set a foot in the home. Tyler was readily available whenever we wanted to see a house, kept us in the loop on different properties/leads, and was always upfront and honest. On top of that, he was incredibly patient with us and answered all of our questions- being first time home buyers, there were a lot. I can't recommend Tyler enough- his connections, knowledge, and patience made for a near seamless home buying process!”
