Not only was I a first time homebuyer with numerous questions but I was moving cross country. We were only focused on a couple areas so I wanted to work with someone who knew the Ballard market inside and out, and from what everyone told me Ethan was the best. Ethan did not disappoint at all. Because we couldn't fly back to tour homes he did facetime walk throughs for us. The best part because Ethan is so well connected he was able to find us a house that already had a pending offer that wasn't going well. We truly appreciate his help.
Josh was an excellent relator. He helped me navigate all the twists and turns that came up with selling my house. I appreciated his knowledge and planning when it came to negotiations with buyers. He definitely made a stressful process more manageable. He was always accessible and quick to respond to my questions even while on vacation. I would absolutely recommend Josh or anyone with the Century 21 team.
Bailey Steffen, Madrid, IA, a seller from Ankeny, IA
I was referred Ethan by one of my coworkers. I trusted her recommendation and immediately ran with Ethan on the sale of my home. I am SO glad I did! I have never sold a house before so the entire process was new to me. From start to finish, Ethan was at my disposal whether it be simple question or translating the fine print for me. He even makes note of the little things, like your birthday or favorite coffee shop. I have nothing but positive things to say and will for sure be working with him more in the future as well as referring him to others!
Bailey and Alex, Altoona, a seller from Altoona, IA
This is our second time around with Ethan and his team and Thank You doesnt seem like enough. He combines character, honesty, hard work and the ability to deliver an amazing experience into every interaction. He demonstrates what a great sales person is through the way he handles not only us as his clients but also the other party. It is important to us that we get a good deal, but also that we fair to the people we are selling to or buying from and he navigates that with ease. Ethan knows our expectations and how we want to go about buying and selling and he strives to go above and beyond an already high bar. The extra touches of status updates, coffee gift cards, reminders of what is being worked on in the background, and so much more just added to an already great experience. Ethan and his team are simply amazing, and we will be clients as long as they are in the business. Thank ALL again, we appreciate you more than you know!!
The entire selling experience with Ethan Hokel was excellent. He was extremely professional and knowledgable. He listened to our goals and needs and worked diligently to meet them. The marketing plan he put together was top notch. He was always accessible and I would say he exceeded our expectations of a top level realtor on all accounts.
Samita Basnet, West Desmoines, a seller from Ankeny, IA
Ethan was great to work with. Ethan is knowledgeable and has been patient with us. He put our interest above everything else. I would work with him for my real estate need and recommend Ethan to my friends and family!
I would definitely recommend Ethan to any friends or family members buying or selling a home. Ethan is knowledgeable, patient, and hard-working. I know he cared for me, and my search, and gave me good advice when looking for my home. Not only did he do a good job during the search and buying process, but AFTER too. Ethan goes above and beyond to ensure his clients have a good experience before, during and after buying and selling!
Myles Allbee, Urbandale, a buyer from Urbandale, IA
Ethan was the only broker we talked with and we had no desire to look any further because he was professional and helpful from the moment we first talked to him.
Ethan made time to meet with us personally or have someone available to show us a home when it best fit our schedule. This was super beneficial for us. He also has an incredible amount of knowledge about all things real estate. Negotiations couldn't have went smoother, it was super helpful that we were able to ask his advice during negotiating and he was a great middle-man for those discussions with the seller, which made it way more comfortable for us. Every step of the way was basically as simple as I imagine it could possibly be due to Ethan's expertise, customer service skills, friendliness, and good sense of humor.
I really can't think of anything that Ethan could have improved on, he really knocked it out of the park in every way!
After another purchase, Ethan out did himself once again. Ethan did everything the right way to help make the buying process as easy as possible. Ethan went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of from day one. His constant communication, willingness to go out of his way to get answers to any questions and truly give his all, is second to none! The process from start to finish was nothing short of simple and efficient and that is solely because of Ethan and his ability to go above and beyond for his clients.
Ethan was excellent. Couldnt not have wished for a more responsive and straightforward realtor. He spoke plainly and clearly to us and was open and honest. Thats why we selected him and he did not disappoint. Compared to other realtors we spoke with he was honest, compassionate and went above and beyond when marketing our property. Thank you Ethan!
Bryce Strumpfer Slater Iowa , a buyer from Slater, IA
Ethan and his team were amazing! We are not easy to deal with and Ethan and his team made us feel like we were too prior. I will recommend ethan to anyone I know whos wanting to buy/sell. This was our first time selling a house and it was something we had no idea about or any experience. Ethan did an amazing job walking us through everything. His advertising was above and beyond and didnt even have our house on the market for a full 12 hours before receiving multiple offers! Ethan even found us an amazing home with a great well detailed builder. We hope to not have to move any time soon, but if we did we know exactly who to call! 10/10!
I highly recommend Ethan Hokel as a real estate agent for any individual or family searching for the ideal home for their unique situation. Our home sold in 2 days for asking price.
Ethan took care of everything so that we didn't need to be concerned with the few issues that took place with our short turn around sale.
Ethan is an honest, hard working realtor, that goes the extra mile for his clients.
Without a doubt I would recommend him for the sale of your home!
Cliff and Amanda DeMaris, Huxley, IA, a seller from Huxley, IA
Ethan is by far the most professional, efficient, and disciplined Realtor my wife and I have had the opportunity to work with, over an almost 20 year military career moving all over the country every 2-3 years. His expertise and influence allowed us to sell our home within a week of contacting him. I knew he was a great Realtor, but I am truly impressed by how much he goes above and beyond anyone weve ever worked with in the past. There were never any surprises and he always took the time to explain everything in detail leaving zero guesswork on our end.
He is also representing us as we build our new home. He always serves in our best interest asking the appropriate questions we would not think of asking. He was patient with us while meeting with numerous builders before we landed on a builder who suited our needs the best.
There is not enough room on this review to fully express my appreciation for Ethan. The military moved us back to Iowa in 2017 and we met Ethan when we became his neighbor. When I deployed overseas in 2019-2020, he and his family took it upon themselves to check in on my family and arranged for lawn service for our home while I was away. Ethan is actively involved in his community, he is a great neighbor, a great friend, and there is no Realtor I trust or endorse more than him.
Ethan went above and beyond and truly made us feel like we were his only client. He was available anytime we needed him. Communication and the hard work he put in were unbeatable. We will be recommending him to everyone!
Ethan had our house sold before we could even list. The entire process was extremely smooth. We felt clueless after being in our previous house for 12 years, but Ethan and his team kept us updated and informed every step of the way!
Ethan is an excellent person to work with. What I appreciated most was his responsiveness. Throughout this process of finding some land to build on and then actually planning the home with a builder, it's full of waiting for people to just get back to you. We were never waiting on Ethan, even during off hours as we thought of random things.
Ethan was excellent to work with! He provided timely & clear communication, helped us along the way, and he answered all of our questions (even when on vacation with his family). He made sure our needs were met and was respectful. Ethan went above and beyond at the closing date to make sure we moved into our new home on time and without any issues. We are grateful for his hard work & to have him with us through the process.
Ethan has been an excellent resource in my investment property search. Ethan and his team was knowledgable and made the purchase a seamless one. I highly recommend Ethan and I look forward to future deals together.
Nicole Vickroy Huxley, Iowa, a buyer from Cambridge, IA
I choice Ethan because I have previously worked with him in the past on selling another home that I had owned. He has knowledge of the Ballard area and that is where I was looking for a home at, so I knew I would be getting the best help! He answers questions as fast as he can and never pushes you into a deal. Ethan always does his best to represent his client and walks you through the whole process with updates each week until you sign the closing documents! I will always recommend Ethan to others.
Ethan is overall a great person not only a realtor! He listens to your needs and wants and does the best to find each of those! He always goes above and beyond to find the place you are looking for!
Ethan took on selling my house in a pandemic, while I was completely remote, like it was no big deal. It's hard to imagine a stranger time, and things could have been so stressful, but Ethan went the extra mile, more than once, to get the house sold. He's generous and a total pro.
Ethan made the process of selling the home simple from start to finish. He went above and beyond to assist me in working with the progress of preparing the property. I would and will recommend Ethan to others looking for an agent.
Kyle and Amanda Auffert: Huxley, Iowa , a buyer from Huxley, IA
Ethan has all of the qualities that you'd want in a realtor. He's responsive, knowledgeable, experienced, and a great communicator. Above all, Ethan is a good human-being and will work hard to help your family find their next home!
Ethan worked patiently with us trying to find the right house. It took a few months but his knowledge of the local market paid off. We could not be happier with the house he found us and the experience of working with him.
Adam Petz & Mollie Ullestad, Huxley, IA, a buyer from Huxley, IA
Ethan was great to work with on the purchase of our new home! He listened to our needs and wants, and supported us through every step of the home-buying process. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful. We would recommend Ethan and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in central Iowa! We had a great experience overall, and can't wait to start our life in our dream house.
When we decided to sell and re-build, I was stressed. So much needed to come together to make our plan a reality. After meeting with Ethan to discuss our vision and a few interactions thereafter, the stress was gone. I was confident he would get it done. In the end he sold our home for more than expected, and did it quickly. He also helped us acquire our new land for less than expected, and has connected us with a great builder. Ethan's ability to handle each aspect of the process, his clear and timely communication, and follow through have all been key. Ethan has truly exceeded my expectations.
Our sale started out pretty standard, then our house received some storm damage. Ethan Hokel's resourcefulness was the key to selling our house on time! We had a great experience through a difficult situation. I don't think we would be in our new home today without Ethan Hokel.
Very happy with the job Ethan did. He was always accesible.
Tanner & Ashley Clayton -Huxley,IA, a buyer from Huxley, IA
Ethan was absolutely nothing short of impressive when it came to extremely fast responses, knowledge of every step of the process, and attention to detail on what was drawn up.
During the closing process the bank ran into some technical difficulties which pushed closing and created endless issues on our end. Ethan was right there through the process and did everything in his power to get the process fixed and get us everything we needed during these issues. I have never seen a realtor go above and beyond the way Ethan has, and because of this - I will never use another realtor or recommend another realtor other than Ethan Hokel!
I dont think there is another realtor that comes even close to the response time or accessibility of Ethan. It did not matter what he had going on, I ALWAYS got an immediate response and immediate results. I cannot express how amazing that is and how rare it is to find an agent that is that invested in constant communication before/during/and after the purchase.
We had asked him to stop over to help us decide what projects to finish before listing next year. That night he called with a buyer. The next day it sold!
Ethans knowledge of the market in the area made my buying experience second to none. He made the process as easy and painless as you could possibly imagine. I would highly recommend his services to anyone that is looking to buy or sell and I plan on using his services again in the future.
Ethan was extremely professional in dealing with my mother's home sale. Always polite, courteous and respectful. He also did a great job communicating the complicated real estate processes and explaining everything in terms that made sense to us. Thanks Ethan!
Ethan was such a great asset throughout our entire home buying process. He listened to exactly what we were looking for, notified us of homes just coming on the market, and got us in to see several homes in a timely manner. Once we found one we loved, he was extremely helpful throughout negotiations and the entire closing process. On our final walk-through, he was in contact with the selling agent about anything we noticed and got us a quick response. I would recommend Ethan to anyone looking for a great real estate agent.
I quite literally would have had no idea how to maneuver this home buying territory without Ethan! I am super appreciative of how patient he was with me during this process to make sure that I was getting exactly what I wanted, but more importantly that I UNDERSTOOD each step that we went through as well as the purpose behind it!
Ethan made my first home buying experience a breeze! In what could have been a massively stressful process, Ethan walked me through each step of the way with genuine care for what I wanted out of a home. Once I made a decision, he ensured that I was taking care of business on my end in a timely manner, and was so awesome about touching base with me to see if I was satisfied with all the pieces involved in the home buying puzzle. His demeanor was nothing but positive, and I felt super comfortable reaching out about any questions I had along the way! (I had lots of questions, you could say my background knowledge on houses is slim to none)
Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience! I feel so much more confident about where my money is going in this home and I will be recommending Ethan to everyone I know when they are in the process of buying and selling their own homes! Ethan is the man!
Amanda Bartelson, Huxley, a buyer from Clifton, VA
Ethan represents everything you could want in a real estate agent. He is well-connected, knowledgeable, and professional. He has great communication and was always quick to answer our questions. He was able to help us find a new home and sell our current home all in under a week! We would highly recommend using Ethan Hokel and his team for all of your future real estate needs!
We were anxious about the home buying process and had minimal knowledge on how everything worked. Ethan made it super easy for us and we an accepted offer on the perfect house within our first week of looking. Ethan was always available to contact and made us feel comfortable to reach out to him with any questions we had. I would recommend Ethan to anyone, especially first-time home buyers!

Madison Martin, Sheldahl, IA , a buyer from Sheldahl, IA
Ethan Hokel made our first time home buying experience seamless. He answered any questions we had in a timely manner and made sure that we understood where we were at in the process at all times. Even when he was out of the country, he was relaying information to us through his assistant. I would recommend Ethan to anyone who is buying a new home because he was dependable and communication was open, day or night. Ethan was referred to me, and I would definitely refer him to someone else!

Amanda Josephson, Huxley, a seller from Huxley, IA
Ethan has been personable, stayed in touch from our first conversation of selling our home and buying a new home. Always available for impromptu showings of possible homes to buy. In touch to answer questions. Hes great at what he does and the outstanding reviews and ratings show it!
Ethan was great from beginning the process to ending the process of selling our home. Luckily our house sold quickly but I know he would have been great either way!
Ashley Hokel, Huxley, IA, a seller from Huxley, IA
I think he's the greatest realtor! He sold my house while I was in Africa. Totally trusted him & he works so hard! He pours his heart into his clients.
Kasey Lutjen Polk City, IA, a buyer from Polk City, IA
Ethan was so great to work with! We ran into an unforeseen issue last minute, and Ethan went out of his way to make a not so ideal situation much easier. He was knowledgeable and made us feel like we were his only clients. Thank you Ethan!!
If you are trying to sell your property, you can't go wrong with Ethan. My place sold quickly and required little-to-no effort on my part. I had an accepted offer less than a week after listing with Ethan. The professional photos he had done were excellent, and I believe really showcased my condo. The whole process could not have been smoother.
Ethan has been one of my good friends for a long time but in his role of helping me he was thorough. He brought things to my attention that I didnt even know I was suppose to know or look for. Even though we have had a long relationship of being friends, he was always professional when in a work setting. He would absolutely be the first person I mention when finding out about someone buying or selling a home.
Noel Collins, Bondurant , a buyer from Bondurant, IA
Ethan Hokel couldnt have provided a better home buying experience for us. He truly has gone above and beyond during and now after our purchase. He honestly wants satisfied customers and it is comforting to know he cares so much. Our purchase went smooth for the most part but any little bump in the road he wanted to make it right. Thank you Ethan for a great purchasing experience! Will recommend you to others!
Ron Fatka, Polk City, , a seller from Polk City, IA
I had a different realtor list my house for 5 months and never received an offer. Changed to Ethan and he had a buyer look at it, put in an offer to us, and agree to purchase it in 4 days. Thats above and beyond my expectations. Thank you Ethan.
Scott and Jessica Erickson, Maxwell,, a buyer from Maxwell, IA
Working with Ethan made the buying and selling process simple. He explained anything we needed more information on, he was realistic in his feedback, and he was knowledgeable about the entire process.

Ethan handled the closing process excellently. I felt like all I had to do was decide on which house I liked the most and write a check. I really appreciated how easy Ethan made the entire process. 10/10 will go with Ethan the next time I buy and sell a home.

Amanda & Jack, Johnston, IA, a buyer from Johnston, IA
Ethan was wonderful!! Very patient and understanding!

Bryan & Jamie Schutte, Johnston, Iowa, a buyer from Johnston, IA
Ethan went above and beyond to make our out-of-state home buying experience enjoyable! From our initial phone conversation through closing day, he listened to us first and then offered his expert advice.
Ethan was always available and has great attention to detail. We highly recommend him!
Ethan is everything we could have asked for in an agent! He set up numerous showings for us and took notes on what we liked and disliked about each property so that he could help us find the perfect home. He was extremely friendly and accessible - answering our questions at all hours of the day, and always checking in between the offer and our closing day. He made the whole process so simple for us as first-time home buyers. We would choose Ethan a hundred times over to help us buy or sell a home!
From our first meeting with Ethan he gave us confidence that he could sell our home quickly and for what it was worth. He made the process simple, and helped us easily navigate everything from staging to showings to negotiating and paperwork. It was a positive experience and we would not hesitate to work with Ethan again!
Trent and Lynn, Bondurant, a seller from Bondurant, IA
I truly don't see how any real estate agent could be better than Ethan! His service is unbelievable before, during, and after the sale. I can't think of anything that he could do any better from start to finish, and beyond. We worked with him on the purchase of our first home (as well as the sale of it) and now the purchase of our second home. There's no doubt that we will continue using him for all real estate services forever. Highly recommended!!!
Ethan Hokel was able to quickly identify what was important to us as we looked at homes and help find the perfect home for our family. Thank you Ethan!

Ethan was one of my big school football coaches and I knew going into the home buying experience that he had to be our realtor. Ethan did not let us down.

We are peaceful knowing that Ethan is overseeing our selling and buying affairs. He is polite, on top of things, extremely efficient, and does whats best for us even when it makes more work for him! Hes consistent throughout the entire process and is knowledgeable. No doubt we will recommend him to friends and family and will use him again!

We are grateful for all the work that Ethan helped us with! If youre looking for a great realtor to sell your home quickly we would recommend Ethan in a heartbeat!
All of Ethan's staff were friendly and accessible. They made sure they were in communication with us throughout the process, especially as big events/deadlines approached. All-around excellent service.
When I contacted Century 21Signature the receptionist listened to what I was asking for in a realtor. She then suggested Ethan, he is eager to help new clients. My husband and I needed a realtor who had time for us, to listen what we wanted in our home to be. He set up numerous homes to go through until we chose the right one for us!! When we had questions, and we did. Ethan jumped through hoops many times to resolve issues we were disappointed with and he got right back to us. We are grateful for Ethan taking us under his wings and would recommend definitely refer others to Ethan!
Ethan is patient and understanding. Any questions you might have he has an answer for it.
Randy Wright Huxley Iowa, a seller from Huxley, IA
I started off selling my home as "anti realtor" as I've always disliked the 7% concept. My thoughts are the process should be a "fixed" fee approach. Why not 3%? Why not 10%? How did the industry stop on 7%? Agents will work the same on a $500k house as they would a $200k house. That being said, I originally used a company that got me on the MLS at .5%. It was definitely not worth the hassle and extra work I had to do to try and save on the real estate commission fee.
Ethan made the experience an excellent one and as I stated before, I would say that even if I didn't have multiple offers in the first few days. There is not one thing he could have done to work harder in order to get my house sold, communicate throughout the "dead" time waiting for closing or in performing our closing. He went above and beyond and even personally delivered our check at the end of the process.
He came highly recommended from others in the community that used him in the past. I know see and understand what all of the rave is about regarding his work ethic and communications. I highly recommend Ethan and have already spread the word on how pleased I was with the entire home selling process.
Ethan had his coop business partner, Roger Wheeler come to my home and they provided an excellent assessment on the strengths, weaknesses and opportunities to show the house better. I was impressed with the thouroughness.
I know I'm not the easist client to deal with but Ethan doesn't let grass grow under his feet and was always 1 step ahead of me in communications at all times. I've sold at least 4 other houses in the past and it's been a frustrating experience. Not 1 time was I ever frustrated with the service of Mr. Hokel and I would say that even if my house didn't have multiple offers in the first 3 days.
Ethan came highly recommended from a friend. I needed someone who knew the area well and would be willing to work with me since i was unsure about putting my house on the market.
Ethan answered any questions i had, no matter the time of day he was available!
I was hesitant about putting my house on the market and Ethan assured me he would take care of everything.
Ethan was easy to work with from the beginning. We were concerned that a realtor would try to talk us into something too expensive or not what we wanted but that wasnt an issue with Ethan. He wasnt pushy and would just present us with as many options as possible that met our criteria. He would bring up things he felt were concerning and would share his honest opinion whenever we asked. He was patient with us for months while looking through several houses. Once we had an offer accepted, the process was smooth. He would let us know if anything needed signed and we could sign it electronically which made it super easy. I would definitely work with Ethan again. 2018
Ethan has always been a great real estate agent for my needs. He sold me my home in the fall and then due to a job change, listed and sold the home for me 8 months later. He was able to sell my home in three days and I couldn't be happier with the experience. I would recommend Ethan to anyone looking for a real estate agent. He does a great job and I am thankful to have met him and to call him a friend. 2018

We would recommend Ethan Hokel without reservation. He got our property listed quickly, the prospective buyer traffic was far above our expectations, he got us a great offer within a short time period, and the closing was smooth and hassle-free. Bottom line: Ethan was a great agent for us. 2018
