1st Rate Real Estate

We could not have asked for a better experience at First Rate. Val Bellile was so experienced and knowledgeable. She was attentive to our every need and very patient and helpful with us during both the buying and selling process. We never hesitated to reach out with any questions and she was always happy to respond quickly which we appreciated. The whole process went very smoothly as she did all the heavy lifting. She was able find us a new home we love as well as sell our home quickly. We can never thank her enough for such a great experience!

Samantha Vance from 1st Rate Real Estate did an amazing job helping us find the house we were looking for. She showed us multiple houses, multiple times, even after we thought we found the right one..... there was a better one. She answered almost every question we had and the ones she didn't know she got back with us the NEXT day. She made buying a home (after 25 years in our first home) so easy. Communication was 100 out of 10. She walked us through the process and explained the next steps for us to do. I still can't believe it was that easy from start to finish but her guidance through the process was what made it so easy. We can't thank Samantha enough.

If you are looking to buy a house or sell a house, I would recommend calling Val Bellile. She was attentive to my needs and answered all my questions. I couldn’t be happier with my house and the part that Val played in making it happen. Kendra

We had the absolute best experience working with Sam Vance at 1st Rate Real Estate in Marshalltown! From the very beginning, Sam truly listened to our needs and wants, and she adjusted quickly any time those changed. She made arrangements in record time, kept communication clear and prompt, and went above and beyond to make the process as smooth as possible. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for her clients really stood out. We felt like she was fully in our corner the entire way. If you’re buying or selling in the area, we couldn’t recommend Sam more highly—she’s fantastic!

Samantha was great to work with. She was prompt and professional in all of our communications. She helped us to quickly sell Mom's house at the full listing price. A great experience. Thank you Samantha!
