"Above and beyond" are the words that best describe Travis and Libby. They sold my father's condo for us 3 years ago. When it came time to sell our house this year, we did not hesitate to contact them again. They made the process as smooth and flawless
as possible, providing us with whatever assistance we needed. We highly recommend them!
Travis was great! Helped with our home purchase while we moved from out of state. We worked on both in person and remote showings. Travis went the extra mile. Thanks!
Our move from Utah to Iowa would have been a nightmare without Travis. He went above and beyond to make sure the process went smoothly for us as first-time home buyers from searching to closing on our dream home. He was not only knowledgeable, attentive,
and communicative but he is a genuine, honest, kind, good person who demonstrated professionalism, integrity, and neighbor-like friendliness. We underwent the entire process virtually and knew we could trust Travis entirely. He not only found the perfect home
for our family, but helped us get settled and connected to the community by providing information and resources as well as dropping off a doormat, plant, and gift basket as soon as we arrived. I have family members who are realtors who have commented on how
rare of a find it was and how lucky we got with Travis. I would give him 10 stars if I could and will recommend him to everyone I know moving to the area.
Travis was AMAZING to work with! He was communicative, efficient, timely, kind, and helpful! Moving across the country without being able to do an on-site tour was stressful, but we were able to put our trust in Travis and the process went smoothly and
professionally. Honestly, working with Travis was the easiest and best part of our cross country move. I couldn’t recommend him enough!!! If I could give him 10 stars, I would! On move in day he even met us and dropped off a gift and toys for my kids! 10/10!
Thank you Travis!
Thank you Travis!
Extremely helpful throw out the entire buying process. Lead us in the right direction every step of the way. Buying our first home could not have gone any smoother. Thank you very much for all your help.
Travis did a great job. Anyone who has made a long distance move knows how many little things fall to your real estate agent that you can't get to when you are on the other side of the country. Travis was with us every step of the way, even getting us
an agent in Arizona to sell our current house!
My husband and I very satisfied about our new house Travis did very good job helping us to get a nice home thanks again for everything you have done for us
Travis is the best he did fantastic job helping us to get a new home my wife and i said thank you to Travis for everything he did for us always available for help that amazing thanks again for your service.
Travis did a great job helping me find a house and was always on top with communication and always has an answer for all of my questions he’s just a great overall real estate agent who really knows his craft. I highly recommend Travis for anyone looking
for a home or anyone needing a real estate agent.
Travis is extremely professional. Very prompt when communicating. He helped find my dream home within days. Travis walked me through the entire process and never tired of my endless questions. He is knowledgeable, passionate and puts his clients first.
He came highly recommended by my son who he helped purchase his home recently. I will always recommend Travis and use him and his team in any future real estate needs.
Travis was excellent at walking us through the process of selling as we were first time home sellers. He is very patient and wants to make sure you have all the information to make and informed choice that makes sense for your family. We will be recommending
to our friends and family for sure.
Travis was awesome to work with. We found him as a listing agent on Zillow- he promptly set up a showing, helped us write an offer and now I’m writing this review from our dream home!!
Him and his partner Libby were professional, aleast available for any questions, and made the entire process easy and seamless. We’d recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a house!

We are very appreciative of Travis and Libby. My husband and I needed home ASAP and they worked very hard and found us a home that is very close to our dream home. They were very tentative to our needs and went above and beyond to ensure we get the home
to we loved. Upon working with Travis and Libby, you'll quickly learned that they are not in this business for money, instead, they are in it to make families happy by finding them their NextHome. As a first time homeowners, they have made us very happy.
I highly recommend Travis to anyone who might be trying to buy a house to consider Travis as your agent. He recently helped us in a process of buying our first home, not only that he was our agent he also took on a task of a friend in helping us ask right
questions and giving us hints on what to look into when buying a home, moreover he still takes our calls and answers our questions after our closing. he's just a decent and reliable person to work with.
Travis and his team were exceptional!! They made the entire selling process comfortable and explained every step.
Our house was sold within 30 days!!

Travis was amazing to work with! He explained everything we had questions about for selling our house. Offered good suggestions during negotiations. 10/10 would work with him again!
Travis Hiatt took very good care of my family and I in our relocation to the Iowa City area. From finding homes of interest, to details and future plans of the area, schools to demographics, resale valuations and lenders. We really appreciate everything
he and Next Home did for us in the seamless purchase of our home. Would use again and highly recommend!
NextHome Beyond (NHB) fulfilled my home buying objectives completely “turnkey” within 10wks, 3days and went far beyond my expectations in customer service, proficiency, user-friendly state-of-the-art technology, real-time communication, and responsiveness.
About mid-August I solicited several leads from a Realtor referral company. Travis Hiatt (NHB Owner) was one of several respondents. His keen listening skills completely embraced my approach and his swift seamless integration of internet-based listings with
my smart-device had set him far ahead of the “pac” and into a league all his own, as far as I was concerned. By the next day I had received electronic listings for my search criteria, made selections for viewing and had multiple showing appointments setup
by Travis for the following day. It felt like I had been plugged into the “Matrix.”
During these first showings I met Travis’ partner Libby Thiltgen. The unprecedented “Ying & Yang.” “Batman & Cat-Woman.” Dynamic dual Real Estate crusaders. Staunch, savvy, astute and extremely witty. Albeit, congenial, charming and charismatic host.
Every week for the next 5 to 8 weeks this cycle of receiving electronic listings for my “learning” search criteria, making selections for viewing and having multiple showing appointments setup by Travis or Libby for the following day or two. Showings were averaging 4 to 6 per week. I began to feel like I was working with “Tommy Lee Jones” and we were looking for “Harrison Ford.” Because with Libby and Travis, based on my learning search criteria, their learning as well and our accumulating total of property showings we must have seen every “farm-house, hen-house, road-house, and out-house” within a 50mi radius of Cedar Rapids. And yes, that was my criteria too.
Travis and Libby were unwavering, undeterred and relentless in pursuit of achieving my real estate property goals and me purchasing my “dream home.” During weeks 5 to 7 the time between the listing’s “day-1” and our showing was reduced dramatically thus allowing our “buy” offer to be placed much higher, if not first for the “Seller’s” consideration. Although “timing” is not a panacea, but if and when your price-range and amenities are found it will become the ultimate determinant.
Although the elation of receiving notification of our offer accepted for the incredibly remarkable property the day after showing and between week 6 and 7 of our total (10wk, 3day) engagement there were still about 3 to 4 weeks ahead before “closing.” There was no break in the action. We had captured the elusive “Fugitive,” but now the “MATRIX” was in High-gear!
Heading towards “Closing” Libby and Travis became like extremely attentive “wedding planners” accounting for, checking and rechecking every intimate detail. They were deeply engaged with my mortgage lender and provided oversight on my behalf. Almost daily, I was kept informed and updated regarding the process and proceedings. On the day of “Closing” they made me feel like I was the “Bride.”

Travis & Libby made the selling/buying of our homes So smooth and easy. Thank you for all of your help-you’re both so appreciated!
Correction to my previous recommendation:
Travis has been very helpful in the process of buying our new home here in Cedar Rapids. He was recommended by our previous RA and he has done pretty good job. Travis's USP is his readily availability on request and is very responsive over text and is a helpful man. We are so glad that we have him onboard...

We are so thankful to have Travis and Libby help us through the home selling process. They went above and beyond for us! We would highly recommend using them for buying or selling your house.
Travis was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He got me top dollar without any hassle.
Travis and his wife did a marvelous job helping us through the entire process of searching for a home, finding a home and applying and purchasing the home. They never left our side and we was able to call them morning, noon or night with any questions
or concerns. I would recommend them to anyone who is searching for a home.
Travis is very friendly and helpful, always willing to do what's asked. I happily recommend him to anyone seeking a realtor.

We've worked with Travis for three different moves now. He found and sold our first and second homes, as we build our third and "forever home." Every single sale, both on the buy and sale side has been so smooth when working with him. He has truly become
a friend to the full family in the process. He makes everything easy to understand, goes above and beyond in his promotion (drone, 3D tour, social posts, multiple open houses), and we love his positivity. If you're in a market he serves, look no further than
Travis! He will make it easy, get you the best deal, and pays attention to the details so you can focus on your next chapter. Thank you, Travis!
Travis sold our town home quickly which helped tremendously with our out of state move. He was professional and quick to answer any and all of our questions. The photographer he used for our listing and drone footage was very good and made our townhome
look top notch. I'd recommend Travis to anyone who wanted to sell their home!
Travis was great. As a first time home buyer, I didn’t know the first thing about purchasing a home but Travis explained everything in a concise, easy to understand manner. He was very flexible, and good at getting information.
Having conducted the whole home buying process remotely, Travis went above and beyond to make sure that we knew everything about the home before we made an offer. I would gladly recommend Travis to anyone looking to buy a house in the Iowa City area.
Travis did an excellent job in all aspects of assisting in the sale of our home. With his knowledge of the area market he was able to provide us with an accurate value of our home. Travis was most informative in letting us know what to expect along the
selling trail and was there for us to answer any questions we could some up with. If you want someone who can sell your home fast for the highest dollar, grab Travis.
Absolutely recommend Travis and his team. He made our home selling experience quick and easy. He was able to get us an amazing price in just one day on the market. We are so thankful we chose him!
He was very knowledgeable and helped me learn more about the real estate buying process.
Travis, went above and beyond. He got me two offers. He even assisted with going back and fourth to let companies in. No way could I have done this sell on my own 600 miles away.
When we decided it was time to sell our parants' condominium, we needed to select a realtor. When interviewing NextHome Beyond, Travis and Libby came to the meeting prepared. They presented us with a booklet specific to our home. The information showed
us that they understand the current market and their customers' needs. They had done their homework before even sitting down with us.
They immediately communicated with 3 MLS listing agencies and made personal contact with realtors in the area. Throughout the process, Travis and Libby were there to guide us and respected our decisions. They were always available to answer our questions and discuss our options.
Would we recommend NextHome Beyond? Yes, without hesitation! Travis and Libby are knowledgable, prepared, and respectful. They truly do put their customers first.

Travis was absolutely wonderful to work with. He responded quickly and left us with no unanswered questions while selling our home. He worked for us every step of the way. We excepted an offer within 24 hours of listing our home. I would say he is an excellent
agent! We would like to thank him for all his hard work he put into selling our home and we would definitely use him in the future as well as recommend him to anyone. Thank you Travis!!
Travis was there for my every step of the way. He is very knowledgeable. Being a first time buyer, he explained everything in a way I actually understood. Travis was great at answering all my questions. I am very luck to have had crossed paths with him.
He truly does go beyond.
Travis is outstanding!! He made our move totally stress free! We could not be any happier with our decision to trust Travis to sell our home.

Travis got us our first home quick and easy, best home buying experience ever!
We were selling our home in Arizona to make a move to Iowa. Our Arizona realtor advised that our home would sell within days of putting it on the market. Our circumstances required an experienced professional who knew the local Iowa market; as we would
be buying an Iowa property prior to selling ours and also buying it remotely. Travis was knowledgeable in price points of property and of value associated with certain locations within the Iowa area. He guided us toward good prospective property within days
if it appearing in the MLS. We did a zoom call video of the property with Travis. He helped us put in a full price offer on a condo with the only Contingency that it pass inspection. Scarey but a wise decision. Once the Iowa offer was accepted we put our Arizona
home on the market. This was one of the most unusual property transactions for us ti buy a home without seeing it ! Travis took care if all the details remotely. Tge paperwork; title and even an APP to do a checklist of setting up utility services etc. Travis
made this transaction effortless for us. Everything done remotely. Its a 2020 world.
Travis helped us buy our condo in Marion while we were in Mesa, AZ. We only had the listing pictures and a video walkthrough where Travis made informed and helpful observations to guide us through our decision. He was attentive to our needs/wants throughout
the process and kept us informed at every step. We could not be more pleased with his service.
Travis was very patient and helpful as we looked at new homes. He helped us get a buyer for our old house in less than a week. Travis helped us negotiate a good deal for our new place and was very helpful thoughout the buying and selling process. He didn't
forget about us after the sale and took care of little things that came up later.
I had a great experience buying my first home. Travis explained every step of the process to me.
We were so lucky to have Travis as our agent, Travis helped us buy our house and also sell it 15 yrs later.. He was honest, professional and quite knowledgeable in his area of expertise.
Id recommend him anytime to anyone who wants to sell or buy a house...

Travis was a God-send. He was originally our realtor when we bought the house 13 years ago and he helped us sell it. He was attentive to details, walked us through every step of the house selling process. He made sure we understood the paperwork and had
our best interest at heart.
Travis is a great agent. He is knowledgeable, reachable, accommodating and nice. Would highly recommend!
Travis helped me and my husband buy our first home. He was professional, and made the whole experience painless. We will definitely be using him again!
Travis is a top-notch real estate professional. His experience is suited to the most discerning buyers and sellers. I highly recommend him for all your real estate needs.
