Brian Keeton, Newton, IA, a buyer from Des Moines, IA
Shawn helped me sell my Dad's house when he passed away. He just helped us purchase a new ranch home, and he will be helping us sell our current two-story home in the spring. He has been excellent to work with, tireless in his efforts, and has called/texted us every step of the way which really helped to lessen the stress of buying/selling homes. I would not hesitate to refer Shawn to all of my friends/family.
Doug Pfantz, Melbourne, IA, a seller from Des Moines, IA
Shawn Preston was excellent. He was recommended to us by a neighbor and he fulfilled all expectations. Sold our mother's house for my siblings and I and none of us had sold any real estate for over 30 years. Shawn made the entire process smooth and professional. He grew up in the community so knew the market well and was knowledgeable of the area. Highly recommend Shawn Preston.
Jody Pfantz White, Melbourne, Iowa, a seller from Des Moines, IA
Shawn Preston was excellent every step of the way. He listed my Mom's house which was the most expensive property sold in a small town area and was able to sell it close to asking price. I live out-of-state and he was good about communicating everything that was going on and made it pretty stress-free. He worked hard in meeting all of our needs and I would strongly recommend him to anyone who's selling a house in the area.
Frank and Kristi See, Newton, IA, a seller from Newton, IA
Shawn Preston's professional experience and straight forward communication helped us immensely when we bought this house 6 years ago and when it came time to sell. He was considerate of our need to make a profit and went above and beyond many times to keep us informed of what was happening during our renovations. With the property being in Iowa and we being in Texas his help was extremely valuable to us. Several times he checked in on the property and updated us with any progress and concerns to include photos. I would definetely refer him to our friends and family.
Brian Keeton Newton IA, a seller from Des Moines, IA
He was highly recommended by friends and did not disappoint.
Was pleased overall and will recommend Shawn to our friends. Contacted me multiple times per week with information/status updates. I felt like Shawn was totally invested in myself and in our property.
Great job!!
Randy Miner, Newton Iowa , a buyer from Des Moines, IA
Shawn made this process smooth and stress free. I can say 100 percent, that if not for Shawn's dedication to protecting me as the buyer, I would not have closed this deal in the awsome position that I did. This was my first purchase and it was nice having a realtor I could trust walk though this with me. If I buy or sell in the future, Shawn Preston will be my first phone call every time. Thank you for helping find the home I was looking for and a fantastic experience!!!
Shawn Preston helped us find a way to get into the house/property of our dreams! We had pretty much given up on it. Shawn hooked us up with a loan officer who came up with other options for us. Shawn was also available for us when we wanted to go back out to the property, even though it was a drive for him. We've used Shawn several times and he always does a good job. We've been satisfied with iowa Realty and Shawn!
He is helpful, polite, easy to work with and talk to. Goes out of his way to help. Would recommend him to anyone. Very good at what he does. Thanks again Shawn Preston.
Darla Tuinstra Newton Iowa, a seller from Des Moines, IA
Shawn is personable and professional. Shawn cares about his customers and show pride in his work. I would highly recommend Shawn and Iowa Realty to family and friends.
Ben and Hannah Miller, a seller from Burlington, IA
Shawn did a fantastic job from listing, negotiating, and getting us to the finish line. Would certainly recommend him to friends and family, the knowledge and experience was impressive and no doubt helped us too maximize what we got out of our house. 10/10 Great job Shawn!
William Black, Newton, Iowa, a seller from Des Moines, IA
Shawn Preston does an excellent job in making the whole process as painless as is possible. Due to my age and health, he went above and beyond what one would normally expect from a realtor in making this sell possible. I would recommend Shawn to anyone as an A Star realtor,
We first had it sold in should have closed August 18th. The buyers separated two or three days before the closing. This resulted in the house needing to be relisted and going through another selling process. Both times the house was only on the market for a short period of time, two to three days before we had a potential buyer and had an offer that was accepted.
Shawn Preston goes the extra mile. He leaves no stone unturned.
Melissa T Newton,Iowa, a buyer from Des Moines, IA
Shawn knows the area. He always has insight into different aspects of a area, property, things to know and look out for. He was a true asset when it can to choosing a house and I felt assured and confident in my choices with his guidance/advice. I would definitely recommend him to a family or friend.
Josh and Roquel, Newton, a seller from Des Moines, IA
Shawn did an excellent job in selling our house. He went above and beyond in making the transaction go smoothly and quickly. We would definitely use him again and recommend him to friends and family.
John and Janet Jackson, Oklahoma, a seller from Burlington, IA
We found Shawn by googling "top rated sales in Newton, Iowa." Other realtors we had contacted showed little interest in our property. Shawn walked us through each step, answered every question and was always friendly and professional. We highly recommend him!
SHAWN IS A FRIEND AND A VERY WORTHY REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE COMPANY. HE DONE US WELL. WE RESPECT HIM AND WILL REMEMBER THAT.
THANKS SHAWN!!
William Black, Newton, a buyer from Des Moines, IA
Shawn helped us find our first house when we moved back to Newton from NC. When we decided to find another house that would be better suited for our needs today, it was a no brainer that Shawn would be the man we would return to. He made sure that he understood our needs and concerns for a new home to consider before telling us he had one we may want to look out. He is a PRO.
We followed Shawn's recommendations to the letter. He was spot on. I am on oxygen and Shawn assisted in helping to take the measurements in the houses that I was wanting to know the size of rooms, or particular areas that I thought a measurement would be useful to me in making a decision.
Shawn should do well with any customer who is willing to work with him. He will represent and lookout for their interest.
Just be sure that Shawn knows what you are looking for or the areas of concerns you might have have. He will work with you to address each one and help in finding a workable solution to resolve it. He knows his stuff.
I can't say enough good things about my experience in working with Shawn. He made the time to understand exactly what we were needing and looking for. He stayed within our parameters and did not try to move outside or above what we had asked of him. We were first with him and his attention remained focused on us.
Kevin McCartney Newton, IA, a seller from Des Moines, IA
Previous good results with Iowa Realty. Shawn is a great advocate for his clients
We were referred by a local acquaintance through work. After our initial couple of interactions with Shawn, we were confident in Shawn's skills, responsiveness, and sensitivity to our circumstance and needs.
Shawn has excellent personal skills.
We have complaints related to the process, but they are not due to Shawn's services. We believe he did everything he could to help us before, during and after the process.
Not everything went swimmingly, but just about everything actually under Shawn's control was exemplary.
We wish Shawn could be a wizard who could produce ideal properties and prices for his customers, but aside from magical abilities, we'll settle for Santa and how Shawn truly seemed to go above and beyond for us to make the best of the process under difficult circumstance.
Jim Anctil, Marshalltown, Iowa, a buyer from Des Moines, IA
Shawn was on time or early for all of our home viewing appointments, and he enlisted the help of a co-worker on the few occasions when he was double-booked. He remained positive and encouraging, even after several months of looking without finding our perfect dream home. After we found a home, Shawn set up our home inspection, which was a great help to us since we are not from the Des Moines area. We highly recommend Shawn Preston to anyone looking for a home in the Central Iowa area.
Darrin Lawson, Chariton , a seller from Des Moines, IA
Shawn went above and beyond on selling our home and being there for us 100% on all transactions and questions whenever we needed him.
Shawn is knowledgeable in all aspects of the sale of our home.
Shawn is the best, simply put. We would not consider anyone else.
We could not ask for more. We would recommend Shawn to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Shawn is the best guy that I can think of for anyone interested or looking to buy a house.
Dennis and Linda Rule, a seller from Des Moines, IA
Shawn Preston pointed out potential problems we might need to address on the property. We felt he was honest, punctual and not pushy.
Daniel Ahumada, Newton, a buyer from Des Moines, IA
I was nervous about purchasing my first home, but Shawn made it smooth and easy. He took the time to answer all my questions I had throughout the entire process, even after! I highly recommend Shawn to anyone looking for a home!
DPimentel/WMartin, Newton , a buyer from Des Moines, IA
Very intuitive and considered all aspects, of our home search, of my husband and myself.
He worked hard to accommodate the options that needed to be presented.
Have not encountered someone like Shawn Preston as to the level of respect that we felt as we dealt with him.
All the staff have been so professional! All were so willing to take the time to explain in detail and accommodate our level of understanding. Honesty directness and willingness of any questions that we may have had. And so true to their word.
Thank you so much!
David & Virginia Pecinovsky, Colfax, a seller from Des Moines, IA
We have previously bought and sold 8 different properties and dealt with many different realtors. We found Shawn to be the most attentive and informative real estate agent we have dealt with. He gave us sound advice and helped us during the entire process. His follow up and timely communication made the process less stressful and helped us through every step from listing to closing. We would highly recommend for anyone considering buying or selling a home in the area to contact Shawn.
Shawn was able to secure multiple offers above asking price within 3 days of listing the house. He helped guide us through every step of the selling process.
Shawn is a great representative of Iowa Realty. We were out of state owners of the property and he went above and beyond in checking on the house and keeping us informed of all actions being taken. It was an excellent experience.
Shawn made a stressful sale relaxing. Shawn took all the stress on himself!! Would highly recommend using Shawn every time!!
David Wolfe, Newton Iowa, a seller from Des Moines, IA
Shawn is a true professional in every sense of the word.
Shawn worked harder for the family from day one to close than any other agent would have if they had the ability.
I will contact Shawn again and will consider no other realtor.
Shawn and everyone behind the scenes did a great job. Thank you. David Wolfe, Newton Iowa
Nancy Shannon. Newton IA, a seller from Des Moines, IA
Shawn was a gem to work with. In these trying times he still help make the sale as painless as he could and went above and beyond following each step and keeping me informed on what was happening.
Brent and Ashley Jensen, a seller from Des Moines, IA
He did a fantastic job pricing our house...he was able to help us sell it in 48 hours. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a smooth painless listing process. We will highly consider using him when we sell our next home.
Kathy Large State Center Iowa, a seller from Melbourne, IA
Shawn preston did an excellent job of giving us suggestions to enhance the property and explaining and handling sale details.
I couldn't have been more satisfied working with Shawn. He turned a huge task with potential snags into a painless activity.
Can't say enough good things about Shawn!
Steve Damman, Melbourne background, a seller from Melbourne, IA
Shawn did an excellent job educating us on the process of preparing to sell a house and helping us prioritize things to be done in preparation for showing the house. He stopped by during the process, we appreciated his visits and he kept us prepared for the next step. The value of the services and marketing provided by Shawn exceeded the cost of commission. I would recommend Shawn to someone wanting to sell a house on their own to avoid commission cost.
We were referred to Shawn through another agent as Shawn worked in the area that we were looking to buy. We didn't have prior knowledge of Shawn but he jumped in and worked hard for us. Was ALWAYS available, knowledgeable and courteous. He laid things out for us so that there was no confusion, and things progressed along as they should, seamlessly. We never had to worry about a thing. For that, we are thankful.
David Merideth Johnston Iowa , a seller from Urbandale, IA
Shawn was great I would recommend him to other people
Shawn Preston made our buying and selling experience so much easier and stress free. He was always available for our questions or phone calls. He really listened to our needs and wants and helped us our dream home for our family, and helped us sell our old home in two days! He had great knowledge and advice every step of the way. Shawn was always so pleasant and kind to work with and we would recommend him to our family and friends! 2018
Ken and CoKey Doak, Newton, IA, a buyer from Newton, IA
My husband and I were both comfortable dealing with Shawn. He was always available to answer questions and explain the buying process to us as it moved along. 2018
Cory Meyers, Newton, iowa, a seller from Des Moines, IA
Shawn was a pleasure to work with all around, I can't say enough about how good of a job he did. I was genuinely impressed. He made me feel like my business mattered to him and my wants and needs were his first priority. He is the model of what a real estate agent should be. We had no personal connection of any kind prior to our business dealings, this is a genuine testimony to the work he did for me. 2018
Daniel Brown, Mitchellville, IA, a buyer from Des Moines, IA
As mentioned , Shawn Preston was completely professional, knowledgeable and a key factor for us getting this home! We hadnt bought a home since 1991 so we were completely clueless on the process. Shawn walked us through step by step from showing the house in a days notice, to helping us through the loan process, making the offer, suggesting an appraiser, the walkthrough and finally the closing on the house. Shawn even followed up after the sale to make sure we were happy and asked how things were going. We will be referring all of our friends and family to work with Shawn when considering buying or selling a home.

During the initial interview in considering Mr. Preston, seemed easy to work with, and genuinely interested in meeting our needs. Follow thru was exceptional, with solid support in all aspects of the sale. Highly recommend Mr. Preston to others!! 2018
Shawn Preston listened to what we were looking for, answered our questions, and knew the area. Shawn also worked with our hours and did whatever he could to help us. 2018
