What our clients say

We knew Mid-Iowa because Helen worked there. So glad to have Donna sell her home. Her service was top notch in all aspects of the transaction.

Donna was amazing to work with. Very professional, timely, detailed and great communication.

We could always talk to Donna if we had any questions. I called her one day & she was at a ballgame and she still talked to me. Telling me about the dehumidifier really helped my basement.

Holly was wonderful to work with. She did all of the heavy lifting so we could continue with our day-to-day lives. Would recommend!

Donna was very helpful getting us through the whole process.

Donna was so friendly and ready to answer all questions. She sold the house very quickly & had two offers. The closing was soon after accepting an offer.

This was our first time selling with a realtor. Donna went above and beyond answering all of our questions effectively. We felt like we were her priority! She is a lot of fun to work with!

Brandon was very prompt in responding and took the time to explain the house buying process to us. He was honest and his expertise was helpful during the negotiation process.

Our house sold in a day & a half thanks to the marketing strategy used by Donna & Mid Iowa Real Estate.

Mike, there was never a thought of using anyone else! You and your staff are top notch! Dawn and I appreciate all of you!

Holly was amazing from start to finish. She explained every step of the process and made it easy as a seller. I am proud to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Holly was so easy to work with. Always answered my questions, responded promptly and gave me good updates throughout the process. Thank you Holly!

2nd & 3rd house involving Brandon, all with good results. Got a bit crazy after we moved to TN before closing our houses in Iowa. Everything ultimately worked out great. Brandon can also get you some awesome insurance quotes!

I was given Brandon's name as a contact to view a home I saw on Realtor.com. He was helpful and honest right from the start. He answered all of our questions and set up showings in a timely manner.

We were very pleased with Donna's help & expertise in finding a house 10 years ago and in selling this year. Both in somewhat difficult markets. Her personality was a good match for ours.

Thanks Donna for all your referrals of vendors & step by step process.

Mid Iowa made this process quick and easy. I would definitely work you again. Holly was super! Very personable and so efficient.

Mike is a top of the line Realtor. Always available & so much knowledge about buying and selling in every circumstance. Our sale was an estate sale so Mike knew every detail we had to do and he took care of everything till we had to sign the papers. We liked his advertising of mom's home, pointing out the nice things to the potential buyers. Excellent job & we are so pleased.

Brandon was a great help! Very friendly and a pleasure to work with. He went above and beyond to make sure our transaction was easy and stress free.

This was a very difficult time for me and my family. Donna was very helpful and took care of everything. She even helped me load a snow blower into my moving van. I could not have asked for anyone better!!

My wife Barb & I have used Donna Pudenz in 2012 to purchase a home and at the same time sell our then existing home. She insisted on fair pricing our home then and again when we sold our home after 10 years. Donna took care of all the details flawlessly.

Donna Pudenz is very knowledgeable with respect to the real estate market in the Carroll area, has excellent communication skills, and will go the extra mile to see that a real estate transaction is completed properly.

Donna is a great real estate agent plus she is a wonderful, caring person.

Brandon was very professional and always was a huge help. Answered all my questions very promptly and in detail. He was a pleasure to work with for both my house & insurance.

Donna responded almost immediately when we left a message for her. She was very business like, she followed through with every last detail and she answered all our questions. She was a joy to work with! We feel like we have a new friend in Donna.

Holly was awesome! She was very responsive & on top of things. If we had a question she answered it quickly & if we had a house we wanted to see, she made it happen as soon as possible. She also was always looking out for us. We really appreciated her service!

Brandon Snyder was great about answering any questions & quickly responded to texts. Would definitely work with Brandon Snyder again.

Love working with Holly.

The real estate market was very fast paced when I put my house on the market. There were very few houses on the market and many potential home buyers. I'm sure Donna was in the thick of it all, but still managed to make me feel like I was her #1 priority!

Our agent, Holly, was extremely helpful in the home buying process, from start to finish. We are first time home-buyers so a lot seemed overwhelming & foreign to us. Holly showed so much patience with us and answered any questions or concerns that we had, which really put our minds at ease. She seemed very knowledgeable and we knew that we could trust her with this process; just overall a very personable agent!

Donna went above and beyond by getting closing set up, the deed, abstract, etc. We didn't have to do a thing. She talked with the seller to coordinate everything and was very friendly and easy to work with. She took charge and gave me confidence that everything would be taken care of, and it was. It all went very smoothly.

Donna is so fun and professional. She can be contacted very easily. I had so many questions about my first house and she answered them quite effectively and easy to understand. Overall, she is fun to work with!

We were very please with the service Donna provided for us. She went out of her way with every question we had explaining how everything works. Donna was always read to meet us to show a house even after regular hours and on weekends.

I want to thank Donna for a job well done. After mom passed away, selling our family home was a very difficult process. Donna was able to connect with us on a personal level while representing us in the most professional manner. Thank you.

We were very pleased with the communication and steps that were explained to us, along with answering all our questions. All in all it was a very good experience with Holly.

My agent was Holly, she was extremely helpful and always straight forward with me through the entire process. She also provided excellent guidance and recommendations whenever I need further assistance. Holly made the process of buying my first home much less painful than I imagined it would be and the reason for that was most definitely all Holly! She is very good a what she does

Donna was an awesome real estate agent. Helpful in every step of the way in selling our acreage. She is very knowledgeable and I felt very secure in her handling all legal details. She is the best without a doubt.

We worked with Donna and she was so great to work with! It did not matter which day of the week or time of the day, she was always available to help. She made the whole process so easy and if there was an issue she took care of it without hesitation. She really made us feel like her #1 priority and was so quick to get back to us!

Brandon kept on top of everything and always kept me informed.

Donna was extremely available anytime. She followed up on everything & was kind. She went above & beyond for us. We couldn't be more happy!

Donna was so helpful during our stressful situations with the sellers! She was very knowledgeable & truly had our back through it all.

Donna was great to work with. She knew I was a first time home buyer. She made great suggestions and always solved the problem. She was great to work with.

Thank you Mike!! Great to work with. Will recommend to family & friends

Brandon was amazing to work with from the beginning. I would not have looked at the home I purchased if he wouldn't have contacted me. As a 1st time homeowner, I was extremely nervous but he kept me informed every step of the way.

We love using Mid-Iowa for our real estate & insurance needs. All the agent work well together to serve their customers needs. We love working with Donna. She always goes above & beyond and is always there for an honest opinion or advice. If you are in the market to sell or buy a new house, we highly recommend Mid Iowa.

Just to let you know I only trust people that I know. You can't beat Donna. She has a great personality, friendly, kind & honest. I swear she went to the end of the earth for me. You couldn't ask for no one greater than that!!

I worked with Donna on my first house purchase and she became a good friend through the process. I enjoy her being by my side. Donna was always prompt with communication. She would follow through with the banks and there was always communication through phone, text and email.

Brandon is real easy to work with. He really stayed on top of things when I put in the offer on my house.

Donna was amazing to work with.

We will always choose Holly & the Mid Iowa Team for our real estate needs. The dedication, communication and hard work is unmatched by any other.

Holly was always friendly and informative. She was willing to make her schedule work with mine. She remained calm and professional even the times I was stressing out because of the financial process.

Brandon was wonderful in helping me find a home and not letting me give up when the market was so crazy!!

This is the second time I've worked with Donna. She was just as helpful, professional and knowledgeable as the first time - even with this process being entirely different circumstances!

Donna was fantastic - easy to work with especially long distance.

Holly was on it! And so accommodating! Rockstar!

My husband contacted my cousin who is a realtor in Bruceton Mills, WV, Sandy Light, about selling the farm in Iowa; that was almost 3 years ago. He died in May 2020. Sandy had been in touch with Donna Pudenz around 2017 and contacted her in 2020 when I decided to sell the farm. Everything went fine & Donna was a delight to work with.

Brandon went above and beyond while working with me in selling my house. I was very pleased with how I was made to feel that my goals of the sale were important to him. I would highly recommend Brandon and Mid Iowa for all real estate transactions. I was always respected and treated as a friend.

Brandon was very patient. We had been looking for awhile. He didn't give up on us. He was very transparent also. Brandon is a good asset not only to Mid-Iowa, but the Carroll Community!

I could not be more pleased with my real estate transaction with Mid-Iowa Real Estate & Holly Schreck particularly. My situation (long distance transaction) got a little complicated but Holly was patient, understanding and maintained good communication. I am happy in my new residence and happy to join the Carroll community. I highly recommend Holly & Mid Iowa Real Estate to anyone moving in or out of the area. Thank you Mid-Iowa!

We always felt comfortable with Mike; he treated us as a trusted partner. We appreciated him working with us from a distance after we moved.

Mike Franey was great to work with. We had to purchase quickly and he made that happen. He had everything lined up & put the offer in. All went smoothly.

Donna is the best. She is on top of absolutely everything when selling your house. We put it in her hands and followed her guidance, suggestions & professional opinions. Anyone that chooses Donna for their real estate agent will not be disappointed. She delivers!

Brandon, thanks for helping us purchase our dream clinic! Always available for any questions or concerns we have.

Being first time homebuyers, this was a completely new process for us and one that could've been very nerve-racking. I feel Donna took an approach that she would have used if it was her own children buying a house, very thorough making sure we understand exactly what was going on at all times. We were very satisfied and will be sure to recommend Donna to anyone we hear of that is looking to buy or sell property in the future!

Both Diego (Banker) and Brandon Snyder were really helpful. Will recommend to others!!

Mike Franey set the precedence and Brandon Snyder didn't disappoint. They are two amazing Realtors.

Donna was very knowledgeable and always kept me informed as to what was happening with the sale of our home. We moved out of the Carroll area and Donna was exceptional keeping an eye on our property.

Donna knew exactly what we were looking for and kept her eyes open for us.

I felt like Holly communicated well with us and was very fast at getting right back to me. I was very pleased and happy with your service. Thank you for everything.

Holly was on point. She was quick to message us back whenever we had questions. She made buying our first home a good experience.

I returned to Brandon at Mid-Iowa as a repeat customer because he proved himself to be knowledgeable, honest and helpful. He made occasional checks on my home in the winter months to ensure my home was issue free. Thank you!

Brandon got everything done on time and helped with everything and any questions that I had. 10/10 would recommend him to anybody looking to buy or sell!

Mike was very timely in responses, wasn't pushy and above all was friendly & fun to work with.

Thank you so much Holly! We honestly couldn't have done it without you! We are loving our acreage already; not so much the house just yet but we know with time, it will be our dream acreage!

Holly was great to work with - not pushy, extremely helpful!

Donna handled everything for the sale of our home. It was a pleasure to work with her!

Thank you, Donna, yet again for a smooth transaction. This is the 5th house I have had the pleasure of using you as my agent. Having worked as both a buyer & seller, there is no one I would trust more for all my real estate needs. Thank you for always looking out for me, keeping me informed and creating another flawless positive experience. Until next time....

We're so grateful to Donna for helping us purchase our dream home! She's fun to work with and so professional at the same time. We would recommend her to anyone who's thinking of buying or selling a home.

Donna knew what we wanted before we knew what we wanted. The only good thing about the house buying, other than getting our house, was the amazing help we got from Donna. We will always recommend Donna & Mid Iowa Real Estate to everyone.

Donna reviewed the process with us, always kept us well informed during the process and answered our questions and returned our calls promptly. She was always very professional, kind and courteous. Any problems were handled professionally and promptly. Donna is very knowledgeable and knows her real estate well. We will recommend her to friends, family and use her for our future real estate needs. We are most grateful to Donna! Thank you Donna! You are a dear friend.

Donna went beyond the unexpected.

Mike sold our house in less than 24 hours. He was great to work with and we have no complaints. Mike, thank you for all the help!

Holly is actually a friend of ours. We were truly impressed by the professionalism she showed while showing us several homes for sale, along with selling ours.

Donna did a great job informing me what the next steps were and why they were important. I appreciated her positivity and moral support.

Holly did a great job when dealing with our buying and selling of our homes. Wouldn't go to anyone else!

Thank you so much Brandon for helping me buy my first house. I will recommend you for future purchases.

A huge thank you to Holly in all she did for us during our move to Carroll!! Holly was very responsive, helpful & informative.

Everything went smoothly. Thanks Donna.

Brandon was great; very straight forward, knew if it was worth my time to look or not and successful with getting me my house before it even hit the market. Great job!

Donna is experienced, knowledgeable, has the facts, carries through and completes the deal in a very professional way. She is the best!

Donna Pudenz could not have done anymore to help us. She was always there when needed. There were times she went beyond to help as we sure needed all the help we could get. She was excellent.

Brandon has been nothing but great during my selling process, very efficient and always easy to talk to and get a hold of.

Thanks so much Donna!

Everything went well. Thanks a lot Donna.

Excellent service as always! Mike is the best!

Donna was a great asset in selling my home. For example: she convinced the buyer to get a loan so my sale would not be contingent on the sale of their house. Her advice & direction was helpful throughout the whole process.

We are very pleased with all of Brandon's hard work at getting our home in Dedham sold. He did a great job. He answered all of our questions that we had.

Mike was a true asset during our search and purchase. We had one weekend to search for a house. Moving from Boston, he helped with all on-site needs making the purchase & move effortless.

Very satisfied with Brandon's help throughout the whole process.

A huge thank you to Brandon for taking care of everything so quickly and keeping in contact and following through on everything. Brandon has a great personality that made it easy to talk over things with him. Thanks again and have already referred you to others!

The kids finally feel settled in their "forever house." You are the top notch realtor in the area and we would recommend you to our family and friends!! You are above an A+ for satisfaction level!!! Thank you Donna!

Holly was most helpful, especially as she was dealing with a client (my son) who lives out of state. I would recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy.

Donna did a great job. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She knows her stuff!

We are extremely happy with the end results on our sale of our home. Donna and her team did an awesome job on representing us! Closing was smooth and we let everything in our realtors hands...glad we did.

Donna & Mid Iowa, your team was nothing but exceptional in every way. It was a seamless process on my end thanks to you Donna!

Very satisfied with the overall service Brandon provided.

Because I didn't have family to help me, it was important to have an honest & informative realtor. I am very happy with the sale of my house. It was quick and easy with Donna & I have a new friend.

We enjoyed working with Donna Pudenz. She is an excellent realtor. Service was top-notched. Many thanks! She deserves a raise!

Donna was everything one could ask for as our real estate agent. We had not purchased a home in 40+ years, so had no idea what steps to take. Donna guided us in every step of the way. Before the process was completed we considered her a good friend.

Very pleased. Had it sold within two months. Thanks Mike!!!

Holly is the best! We were so happy with her!

She has that never back down attitude and buying my first house will be a memory I will always cherish thanks to Donna!

We were very pleased with Mike. Thank you so much.

Brandon was very easy to work with. He stuck with us all the way till closing. Brandon always let us know what was going on right away. He was very helpful to all the questions. This was our first home purchase.

Thank you for all of your help Donna. I can't imagine working with anyone else when it comes to real estate. Thanks again!!

Very pleased with Brandon & easy to work with.

Such a pleasant & professional experience with Holly! Buying my first home was a piece of cake.

I had the best service I could ask for with Donna. Going through a real estate transaction can be very confusing & I couldn't have done it without Donna! She will be highly recommended by me.
