We finally found our forever home and he made everything so easy for us. He was opened to answer any questions we asked anytime of the day. Thank you Ray Sterns for making this big life decision so easy for us.

Angie Bublitz- Mason City, a buyer from Mason City, IA

We chose Ray Stearns because our daughter had used Ray a couple times in the past for the sale and purchase of several properties. He did an excellent job for them. He knows his business in a professional and personal way.
Ray didnt make a lot of money off our purchase, but treated it as if it were a million dollar transaction. He spent half a day helping me locate lot pins for my benefit, promptly returned phone calls and texts from me and answered every question I had for him. I would highly recommend Ray to anyone and will use Ray again myself if needed in the future.

The Malone's, a buyer from Mason City, IA

Rhi Lustig & Johnny Maine, Mason City, a buyer from Mason City, IA
This was our first home buying experience, and Ray Stearns made it so easy! Anytime we called or had questions he was there for us. Being that this is the first time we were looking for a home, we didnt know exactly what we wanted. So, Ray showed us a variety of homes in our price range, and always communicated with us about each home before we even walked in the door. He knows who the best people are to work with for inspections and lenders! We recommend Ray Stearns, because he helped us find and purchase our house within a month and a half, and we are so happy to finally be home.

When we first met Ray he greeted us warmly and then quickly 'got down to business.' We appreciated this because our time for viewing the property was limited. We were impressed with his knowledge and excellent listening skills, which gave us the space to reflect on details about the property and to ask follow-up questions.

Ray ensured that we understood all phases of our eventual purchase and that all aspects of the sale were completed correctly the first time.

Over the past four years, I have worked with over 12 realtors in the area. All have been upsetting to work with. The one exception was Ray Stearns. We talked about our wants and needs. With that he knew just what to do and how to get it done. Ray was on point with every aspect of the process. I'm not sure if it would be possible to do a better job, than what he provided. In the end he will be the one I work with again if the need should come. Also I would highly recommend Ray to anyone else looking to buy or sell.

We are happy with having Ray Stearns as our agent and how tolerable Ray was with us and what we wanted in our house selection. Ray did a great job on helping us with getting all the paper work finished and getting the repairs done. Ray walked through the house with us and even pointed out some of the things we needed to pay attention to. Together we would find things that were good and things that needed to be fixed. That's why I feel Ray is one of the top agents because he's in it for you not just for himself. Besides that everything went smooth and quick just like he said and he did most of the work! Ray always had the answers to our questions and if not, he would get the answers. You couldn't ask for a better agent. I would recommend Ray Stearns to everyone that is looking to buy a house in town or out of town of Mason City. Thank You!

Rob and Mary Metke. Mason City, IA, a seller from Mason City, IA
The timing issues of selling this home and buying a home in Minnesota critical and due to Ray's professionalism and genuine caring our goal to close on this home on May 13, 2016 and close on our new purchase on May 16,2016 will be a reality. Which is remarkable considering this close was a Friday and the close on our new home is the following Monday!

Jarrod and Lindsey Tell Mason City, IA, a buyer from Mason City, IA
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Ray Stearns as we looked at houses and found our new home. We feel that Ray Stearns went above and beyond for us during this time. He came in on a day the entire office was closed for a holiday to help us put in an offer. We were able to get our house because of that. We would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a great realtor.
