We love everything about the Call Callahan team! After going through the house-buying process a couple of times, this was by far the most simple and easiest time. We had so many personable conversations with multiple people on Debra's team! Not only did they take care of us while looking for a home, but they continue to take care of us after we have settled in! We have nothing but great things to say and recommend the team to anyone looking for their next home. 2024
We cannot say enough good things about the Call Callahan team! They are phenomenal in all areas of real estate. We didnt have to worry about a single thing, and could entrust the entire process of buying a home and selling our home to Deb and her team. They are experts in the industry and know what they are doing. The process was smooth, effortless, and fast. They genuinely care for their clients and take on 100% of the burden of buying and selling a home. If youre considering working with them, do it! We cant recommend them enough. 2023
Deb and Taylor were a pleasure to work with in my Mom's estate. She gave me a lot of tips and I felt she was honest and hard working. She made the whole process better considering the emotional piece I was dealing with during the sale. Deb kept me informed and checked on me during the process. I feel blessed to have found her. 2023
Deb and her team was amazing!! They made the process of selling my 1st house so easy! Even with the challenge of me living an hour away. They handled everything from showings to helping set up a plumber at closing time! Thank you for everything. 2023
The team is flexible and the friendly. I was referred to this team by a friend and they exceeded my expectations. They walked me through the whole process, keeping me aware of my options, and leaving the decision to me with no pressure.

Great team to work with and extremely knowledgeable. We have bought and sold the same home and it felt like a breeze. We have moved out of IA now but will recommend them just not for the realty services but the overall customer support they provide. 2023
This was the second time working with Deb and the team, first in selling mine and now buying ours. We appreciate the quick response and thorough communication. The knowledge, professionalism and trust she and the team brought to the table streamlined the entire process and made it worry free. Rick & Vikki
The Callahan team is professional and knowledgeable in the ever-changing real estate market.

I would highly recommend using this rockstar team as you look to purchase your next home, or sale your current one. You won't regret it. 2022
As a first time home buyer, I had no clue what I was doing. Debra and her team did an incredible job guiding me through the process and answering all my questions. They offered fantastic advice, provided great resources, and pointed out things I would have never thought to check for. I could tell they were constantly putting my needs/interests first to make sure I was making the best decision for myself.
Would absolutely recommend working with the Callahan group - I know I'll be reaching out to them again when I am looking for an upgrade! 2022
Debra from day one makes you feel heard and helps you prioritize your criteria for home search. She is aggressive in negotiation and has a good inventory and knowledge of the market. She will always give you a real picture and opinion and still help you in your choices. She helped me put an offer on the house before the competition, so I don't get into a multiple offer situation and even helped me in anything I needed after closing. I had a seamless experience with Debra and her team. 2022
Very impressed with the Callahan Team! Debra, Taylor, Megan, and Cassie, went above and beyond while helping us sell two properties. They did a great job staging and marking, adding their professional touch to attract buyers quickly, and followed through to the finish line with a seamless online documentation process that was easy to use.

Debra and her team were fantastic to work with. We quickly found out that Debra is a wealth of knowledge. She walked us through our viewings and pointed out everything of value as well as possible concerns. She also has a an A+ team on her side. From recommended contractors, to lenders, Debra and her team have you covered from A to Z. We were also impressed with Megan from the Callahan team. She made closing day a breeze and has a great personality. She made what we thought would be a stressful day an enjoyable one. The closing package along with our personalized gift was a nice touch as well. I would recommend to Callahan team to all! 2021
We have worked with Debra, Cassie, and team buying and selling a few houses over the years. Once again, a great experience in buying a new house and selling our previous house in 3 days.

We have worked with Deb and her team twice in 2 years with purchasing a new home and it has always been so seamless. They make the process easy and enjoyable! 2020
While I'm sure there are many good realtors in the area, it's hard to imagine that any of them would exceed Debra's level of expertise, knowledge, and personal attention to their clients. Since we were relocating from out of state and knew no realtors in the Cedar Rapids area, Debra was recommended to us by a friend. We couldn't have been more pleased in how well she worked on our behalf. We would give Debra our highest and strongest recommendation. 2020
As a first time homeowner, I wasn't sure what to expect. Debra explained all the process in a detailed manner and made the process easy /stress-free. She and Megan communicated consistently and reliably throughout the process and provide many helpful suggestions through out the process. They made my first home buying experience stress free.

Deb is simply the best. She has helped me sell two houses, both in record time. She knows the market, is working on the sale long before the house is listed, and always gets great results. She is who to call if you need help! 2020
Debra, Cassie, and Megan were fantastic. They came in prepared and were clearly knowledgeable about not just real estate itself but the current patterns in the market. Not only did they help guide me through the process of the sale the house, they also provided direction on navigating the sale post-divorce which was invaluable.
I think it'd be rather difficult to find a comparable team that can match, let alone surpass, the quality of work they had provided. 2020
It was a pleasure working with Cassie who was responsive, honest, and dependable. This was my first home purchase and she had answers to all of my questions and also made sure to inform me about anything else I needed to know. I wasn't sure exactly what I was looking for in a home, but she was consistent in sending me homes that fit what little criteria I had until I found the one I loved. I would definitely recommend Cassie to anyone looking for a realtor. 2020
Cassie was extremely knowledgeable and patient with us as we bought our first home. Being new to the area and buying our first home was scary. But, we can't thank Cassie enough for everything that she did for us. We will highly recommend her to others as they go through the buying/selling of their home. We can't wait to use Cassie again in the future. Thank you so much! 2020
Cassie was the best! She made this process so easy! We couldnt have done with her! She knew exactly what we were looking, and made sure it was safe for our 3 1/2 year old. She answered any and all questions and she was honest! Definitely will recommend. 2020
Debra is hands down FANTASTIC!!! We had a great experience and cannot say enough great things about Debra! Highly recommend over and over again! Not only was her customer service above and beyond but her expertise and professional advice was always spot on! She brought countless smiles to our kiddos by sending us local, yummy cupcakes a month after we moved in and then surprised us with a visit from the Easter Bunny when we were all locked up for quarantine! Debra is an A+++ in our book! 2020
Debra and team were able to sell our house during the holiday season. It was a little concerning for us as it is typically slower times for real estate. She and her team where responsive and resourceful and help us close within 45 days. With us already relocated out of Iowa, Megan Goodall made sure that we had all the help we needed in a timely manner. We are extremely happy with the service and would recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell their house. 2020
Debra and her team were fantastic to work with as we purchased a home and sold our home using her expertise. She and her team were responsive and professional in all of our interactions with them. 2019

She was able to figure out the most important qualities we wanted for our first home. She was amazing, and I highly recommend Cassie Shouse and The Callahan team to anyone who is looking to buy/sell. 2019
Over the past couple months Debra has been involved in both the purchase of our dream home and the sale of our prior home. Simply put, Debra is a ROCKSTAR! We had an offer on our dream home within hours of hitting the MLS, submitted a competitive counter offer that night, and secured the purchase within hours. She provided a list of recommended contractors from Debras Team for the follow-on inspection process. Once the contractor selections were made, her amazing support team handled the rest. Selling our existing home was a similar story. Debra walked through the home and made suggestions to increase marketability. She did a phenomenal job marketing, including staging furniture, creating professional marketing materials, posting to the major real estate websites, and made effective use of her networking ability. Our home sold in 5 days at full asking price!
Debra was in the trenches with us throughout both buyer and seller transactions. She has a powerful support network in place and employs this network effectively. Debra is informed and connected with her community. Combined with her awesome support team, she is well suited to address any questions or concerns you may have along the way. For us, the process felt effortless in many ways, due in large part to the efforts of her team behind the scenes. A good realtor can buy or sell a home. A ROCKSTAR realtor brings value to the table from day one. This was our experience and we highly recommend Debra Callahan because of it. 2019
We felt supported the whole way. Felt like we were truly being represented and cared for. There was adequate push back in the negotiation, and we ended up with a full price offer. 2019
When I was considering the sale of my house and who to list with, I noticed that the home across the street from me was for sale by Skogman realtor Debra Callahan. It had a similar floor plan to mine, so I looked it up on Zillow. The photos and marketing approach blew me away. I absolutely wanted my house to be handled the same way. I contacted Deb and we met for an hour or so talking over the real estate market, marketing plans and range of sale prices for my house. I took her suggestion for pricing, and my house sold in a little over a month after being listed. Deb offered a number of valuable suggestions for presenting my house, all of which I executed. Im convinced they help sell the house as quickly as it did. The level of communication during the selling process was outstanding. I never felt in the dark about anything. It was clear that the Callahan team was on top of everything associated with the sale of my house. The professionalism, real estate market knowledge, communication practices and general friendliness of the team made this a positive experience for me. I cannot say enough good things about the way I was treated and the whole process of listing and selling a house. I would recommend this sales team to anyone who is interested in selling or buying a house. This team gets it done and done right. 2019
Cassie is amazing! She helped us find our dream home before it even hit the market. Shes extremely knowledgeable and made buying our first home a breeze. We highly recommended her. 2019
I cant think of a better team of professionals to work with than Debra Callahan and her associates. They were exceptional to work with! They listened to my needs and desires and delivered to my utmost satisfaction.

If you are looking to either buy or sell a property, look no further than Debra Callahan and her team of experts!
Debra, Cassie, and their whole team are so awesome and made everything so easy for me as a buyer! They help you with absolutely everything and are a pleasure to work with! 2019
Working with Debra, Cassie, and Megan was great. Cassie met with us and gave us great advice. Skogman Realty provided us with an excellent list of comparable homes and great feedback from prospective buyers. The house sold in less than a week - pleased with the experience. 2019
Debra was attentive to everything we could have needed and any questions we had about buying a home for the first time. Debra and her team always followed up to make sure we were in the loop of everything, especially when there are so many moving parts to the home-buying process. We would totally recommend her and her team to anyone purchasing a home in this area! 2019
Debra answered all our questions promptly and was knowledgeable and helpful! Her whole team was professional and kind throughout the whole process. 2019
Deb and Megan were awesome! Before closing, we requested to go back to the house several times. They never hesitated to take us. While there they also were helpful at recommending people for the renovations as well as some decorating ideas. We will definitely be using them to sell our old home as well as any future purchases. 2018
The Callahan team was great to work with. They were friendly, helpful, quick to respond and the transaction went smoothly. WE would absolutely recommend Cassie to family and friends 2018
Deb and her team were great to work with. They are knowledgeable and were responsive at answering all of our questions! They made the process of selling our house smooth, expertly guiding us through unexpected hiccups.

We would highly recommend giving Debra and her team your business if you are either looking to buy or sell your home. They won't disappoint! 2018
Couldnt have asked for a better buying experience with Cassie and Debra. They went above and beyond in every aspect of the purchase of our new home. I cant say enough good things about our experience!
Thank you so much for your help! 2018
Donna & Adam Schwartzhoff , a buyer from Marion, IA
Debra, Megan and Cassie were AMAZING to work with. We knew we were in the right hands from the beginning with Debra. We were nervous about trying to buy and sell our condo but with the expertise of Debra and her team we had no problem finding our dream home and getting our condo on the market and sold. They were all responsive to any and all questions that we had. Our kids love seeing all the advertisements for Debra and tell everyone that Callahan helped us find our HOME! If you are looking to buy or sell you should definitely Call Callahan! 2018
Debra and Team were so great to work with as they were quick to respond and had lots of recommendations for many different services. Debra is active in the market and we were able to look at a couple of houses that weren't listed yet. We ended up buying one of those. She has impressive knowledge about the schools and plans for the city that helped us make an informed decision on where we wanted to buy. She is well established and we felt confident working with her and her team. The only reason I gave 4 stars on negotiation skills is because we ended up paying 10K over list price in order to get our house in the time frame we wanted. We didn't feel like there was much fight for us in that negotiation, but we were pretty powerless because we wanted that house. We would highly recommend using Debra and her team. 2018
So great to work with Debra Callahan's team with Skogman Realty! We just built our first home and could not have done it without the help of Megan!! Thank you all for everything! Such a great experience! 2018
My boyfriend, Jon, and I worked with Cassie and Megan. They were both so knowledgeable and if they did not know something they mad sure to find out asap and get back to us. They took us through every house we asked and when we asked without any questions. They never made us feel like we were being to needy or picky about houses. It was an awesome experience being first time home buyers! 2018
Deb Callahan and her team were wonderful to work with. They were available to answer any and all questions and were quick with their responses. They have great oversight on the whole market and they knew how to negotiate and what to recommend in the offer and sale of a home. Their marketing and advertising of homes allows many to see your home and allows for a quick sale! 2018
Deb and her team helped with both the sale of our former home, and the purchase of our current one. Their knowledge and experience was evident every step of the way. We appreciated Deb's honesty and objectivity through both transactions. Cassie was also wonderful, and made herself available to us whenever we needed something. We are grateful to them for everything they did to help our family throughout the entire process! 2017
Debra did an amazing job helping my family sell our property while building a new home. She made everything easy. We received the full asking price on our home, ideal closing date and minimal disruptions to close the deal. This was perfect since we juggled the selling of our current property and purchase of our new home while welcoming a new addition to our family; our son Luis. 2017
We had a great experience using Deb and her team to help sell our home. We had every question and concern answered promptly and Deb kept us well informed throughout the entire process. With her help and guidance we sold our house in 2 days after listing it! I would highly recommend Deb and her team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! 2017
Debra, as well as the rest of the CallCallahan team, were extremely professional and well organized. She came to our initial meeting well prepared and followed up with a detailed, comprehensive plan to sell our house. The house was listed quickly on a wide array of websites which gave it maximum exposure to the market. The house sold in a matter of days for full list price. The process was easy for us as sellers and communication throughout the process was terrific 2017
My husband and I enjoyed working with Cassie and Deb through both the buying and selling of our home. As first time home buyers they helped make the purchase of our home quick and stress free. 4 years later when we were ready to upgrade to a different home we knew we would list with Skogman since we had such a wonderful buying experience. We were surprised they made the selling process even easier than buying. They even sold our home in a day and a half, over asking price! We couldn't ask for a more accommodating, professional, and hard working team. I highly recommend choosing Cassie and Deb for all your real estate needs. We will always come back to this team in the future. 2017
Debra sold my Condo for me this month, after selling my fiancs home in February. Debra was amazing to work with. She and Cassie are top notch professionals, who not only know the business side of real estate but do an excellent job with communication and making sure all questions are answered.

Our experience is with Cassie Shouse, an associate of Debra. We would recommend Cassie to anyone purchasing a house. Everything went smoothly, she got us the house we wanted and her knowledge was wonderful. 2017
As a young, first time home buyer, I was overwhelmed until I met Cassie Shouse. She took time to explain the process to me, and took into consideration all the things I was looking for in my dream home. Every time I had a question, she was knowledgeable and timely in her responses. She always made herself available for showings/appointments, and worked around my busy schedule. Cassie was personable, and I could tell she truly cared about me and finding the perfect home for me. I could not have asked for a better realtor. I will be using Cassie again in the future for all my real estate needs! 2017

Deb did a amazing job helping me sell my condo and helping me and my girlfriend find our first home together! She is always there to answer any questions you may have 2017
Debra was helpful in the purchase of our new home. We were not working with a realtor when we found our new house. She was the listing agent for the home. We felt comfortable having her as our agent in the buying process, and she was a pleasure to work with. We felt she looked out for our interests and answered all our questions. Her assistant Cassie was easy to work with as well. I would recommend Debra to anyone looking for a hardworking, and friendly realtor. 2016
Deb and her assistant Cassie have been great to work with. Despite her high volume of real estate transactions, she always met her pledge to respond to us within 24 hours. Deb does a great job of ensuring your home is displayed prominently on social media and on the various real estate web sites. Deb's knowledge of the local market trends is impressive! 2016
If you are looking for assistance in selling your home, you can't find a better realtor than Debra Callahan of Skogman Realty in Cedar Rapids Iowa. Her professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail is superb. When she took on the sale of our home, she produced a market analysis that was spot on. She then put together a marketing plan including top notch photography, coupled with a well written property description and advertising in all the proper avenues. Our property sold within weeks, and at our list price. We couldn't have been more pleased. 2016
Very friendly and knowledgeable realtor! She knew things about the area than not many other realtors did. Orange-berg for example. Would gladly recommend to anyone. 2016
Working with Debra and Cassie was an easy and stress free experience.

I highly recommending working with Debra in finding a home, whether you are girst time home buyers or selling your current home. She rocks :) 2016
I recently moved my family from Des Moines to Cedar Rapids and working with Debra was fantastic! Debra's knowledge of the local housing market, new developments, school districts and home builders was second to none. Debra was always available and extremely prompt throughout the entire home buying process. n nIf you are buying or selling a home I would absolutely recommend Debra! 2016
Debra was recommended to us by a friend of a friend. She was so wonderful and patient with us. We are first time buyers. She also was willing to answer questions and give guidance when we asked for it. Because of her kindness we were able to find a great home in a great area. Thank you Debra and Cassie for all of your hard work getting us into our first home! We are so glad we were able to work with you. 2016
Debra and her assistant Cassie were a pleasure to work with! Communication via email, text, and voice were always prompt and useful. We tried selling on our own with little traffic and no offers. Once we hired Debra she had a steady flow of prospective buyers viewing our home and we closed just a few months later. Debra and Cassie were professional, responsive, and helpful through the entire process. Highly recommended. 2016
Debra's and her Executive Assistant Cassie Shouse provided outstanding service to us for buying a house in Marion . They have setup our home search and provided good home list for searching and identified good home in our budget. We are really happy with their service. 2016
Working with Debra and her assistant, Cassie, was great. My fianc, Austin, and I primarily dealt with Cassie. She was patient with Austin and I when we decided to stop looking at houses for a few months. When we did start house shopping again, it was like we never stopped! All our emails and questions were answered promptly, and Cassie was able to work around our, sometimes crazy, schedules. She understood our wants and recommended we look at a house that wasn't listed online yet. I was hesitant, thinking it would probably be a waste of time since Austin and I are picky. But with the market being super hot, we gave it a chance. It was the house! We found our house! We put an offer in that night, and Cassie made it super easy. I've already recommended Debra and Cassie to friends that are looking at houses. If Austin and I are ever looking to sell and move again, we'll definitely give Deb a call! 2016
Debra Callahan and her team set a high bar for what to expect from a real estate agent. Their professionalism and all-encompassing care made it clear to us that we were in highly qualified hands. Her market analysis went further than any I'd seen before and while we were skeptical at first, she delivered. 2016
Ms. Callahan knows how to handle different type of buyers/sellers and what to do for enhancing the own values of house on market. She was efficient in selling my house and sold our house in a week! Amazing. Well prepared document works and predominant with broad knowledge of on-line and off-line housing market. Brilliant and impressive service I ever experienced. 2016
The sale of our home by Debra was one of the smoothest transactions we have ever experienced. If you want a professional dedicated realtor, Call Callahan ! 2016
Thank you Debra for selling us our dream home. We are finally getting things put together 2 months later!! Having a 6 month old slows us down. However, you made the entire process so much easier for our family!! 2016
I enjoyed working with Cassie she was good with communicating with me. When I first started looking I really wasn't sure if I wanted to be in Cedar Rapids because of not knowing the neighborhoods. She was good Cassie got me hooked up on line to check out homes in my criteria. Made searching homes so much easier. At the end I decided to stay in the town I have known my entire life. The process went fairly fast and her follow up has been good even after the sale. 2016
Debra and her assistant Cassie are just AMAZING!! I can't say enough about the wonderful job that they did and how they made our 3 year nightmare of trying to sell our property after moving away such a breeze.
