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. February 2021
Ethan is overall a great person not only a realtor! He listens to your needs and wants and does the very 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.

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.

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.September 2020
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 don't 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.

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! June 2020
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!

He brought things to my attention that I didn't even know I was suppose to know or look for.

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. September 2018
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 very 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 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 wasn't an issue with Ethan. He wasn't 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 very 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.

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.

I was looking for a realtor to do an appraisal of my home and someone recommended Ethan on Facebook. I called him and explained that I wanted an appraisal and had planned to sell my house but didn't want to list it for several months. We live out of state and wanted to have some time to clear out the house and clean up the property prior to listing. Ethan was very understanding and did the appraisal. Next thing I knew I had multiple offers on the house prior to even listing it! Ethan kept our property in mind when he had buyers that were looking for what we had. Ethan did a great job managing our time table with the buyer and went out of his way to be there when we couldn't be for work that had to be done as a result of the inspection. The whole experience from start to finish couldn't have been easier thanks to Ethan.

Honest, knowledgable, respectful, trustworthy, ethical and dedicated are a few words that automatically come to mind when thinking about Ethan Hokel.April 2018
When I first met Eathan Hokel he was very respectful of our needs. He took the time to listen to what type of home we needed and our time frame for purchasing. He understood all of our requirements and helped us constantly find homes that fit our criteria. From day 1 he knew what we needed and worked to best assist us in our home selection process throughout.
This was our first home purchase, and Ethan was our first real estate agent. Even without exposure to other real estate agent's I am 100% confident in saying Ethan is the best. In our home search process we've switched direction a few times, and he was immediately on par. Ethan was very professional throughout the entire process. He was not pushy and he never pushed for a sale. He was very knowledgeable on how the market worked and made sure we've got the best deal out there. He always gave his honest opinion for every home we've looked at together. After every home viewing he followed up and heard our opinion. He was very respectful of our opinions each and every time.
If you need to buy/sell your home Ethan should be a very high consideration. He will work with you to ensure you get the best deal. If you want an honest real estate agent he is your guy. Knowing that you are in the right hands in a crazy market makes all the difference. He will put your needs 1st each and every time. He is very approachable throughout the entire process, and will answer any questions you have timely. If you want to work with someone who treats you as the only client, you won't make a mistake working with Ethan.
It is very difficult to to write down all the positives with Ethan because there are so many. All in all, hands down the best real estate agent out there. If I ever need to buy/sell in the future, it will always be with Ethan.

Ethan worked very hard for us and was always available to answer a phone call, no matter the time of day. That was fantastic for us because this was our first house that we have had to sell and didn't know everything that was going on, so we had a lot of questions.February 2018
Ethan was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain to us what was going on, what was going to happen, what we needed to do, and why it needed to happen.
We had accepted a job that required us to move before our property was sold. This did not stop Ethan from working hard for us, he even took extra steps to make sure we could follow through with selling our house without needing to commute back to the Des Moines area to do so, this was extremely convenient and we are extremely thankful for that.
We would recommend Ethan because he is willing to put in the leg work to solve any problems that may arise quickly and effectively, he also is not going to shy away if an issue does come up. We had several issues with our property and Ethan always communicated with us what the problems were and the steps he was going to take to solve the issue.
If you are someone who does not like a lot of communication and likes to be left in the dark, then I would NOT recommend Ethan Hokel to you. However, if you require an abundance of communication and want to always be made aware of what is going on and where you are in the process, then we highly recommend Ethan to you.

Ethan provided suggestions for how to prepare and stage the house for selling. We followed his recommendations. The house was listed on March 9th, had showings the same day, multiple offers were received and an offer was accepted on March 10th, less than 24 hours after being listed.
We would recommend Ethan Hokel as he was very knowledgeable and very proactive in his communication with us. He made sure to let us know what to expect during the process, as well as sent reminders of things we needed to be sure and do (such as cancel utilities, insurance, etc.) and a timeframe for doing them.

Ethan Hokel showed us about 10-12 houses and we weren't finding what we wanted. Ethan said he had been listening to our comments and feedback about the first 10-12 houses and mentioned he had a listing he thinks we would like. Well, he was correct and we bought the house. I really appreciate that he was listening to our comments during the showings, then was able to steer us in the right direction, and ultimately found us find what we wanted.October 2016
As first time home-buyers, Ethan made the process very easy for us. Ethan was also genuinely honest, and set our expectations reasonably. He was upfront with the negative aspects of each situation so we were never surprised about any issue, or negotiation. Communication was prompt, if he wasn't able to answer, he returned calls and emails within minutes.
Lastly, Ethan does the small things that really make a difference. For example, he had dish soap, laundry detergent, and TP, amongst many other gifts waiting for us at the home when we moved in. We weren't expecting anything like that, so it really showed us that he cared and wanted us to be happy!
I highly recommend Ethan Hokel and Century21

We bought this house as a foreclosure to flip and sell and Ethan had it sold before we were even finished with the renovations! How awesome is that?! He made our job incredibly easy and painless. Ethan was always there to answer questions no matter the time of day and always in the utmost professional manner. We would recommend Ethan Hokel to anyone looking to buy or sell!

Ethan Hokel did an excellent job in helping us find our home. His service was great in every way, but what I think stood out to me the most was his communication and availability. He is always quick to respond and made sure we knew what has happening each step of the way. I honestly cannot think of anything that he could have done better. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a real estate agent!

I had told Ethan what we were looking for and when he brought me a list of properties, the places I had been looking at were on the list! He pays attention to everything you say that you want. I went through two other Realtors before him, one for not giving us the time of day and one because he couldn't pay attention to my needs. Ethan never tried to sell me what I couldn't afford and never wasted my time with anything that I didn't want.January 2016
We had a mix up with things that were required for the home and Ethan took the time and his own commission to get it set straight.
I never had to worry about the realtor side of my experience. I jumped through flaming hoops for my lender but Ethan was always happy to call and sort through Iowa regulations since I used an out of state lender. Ethan went above and beyond the call of duty so many times that I'm not sure I could say enough! I will absolutely be recommending him to everyone I meet.

Ethan's best attributes are his hard working nature and responsiveness. I got the feeling that day and night Ethan was thinking about how he could better service me. It didn't matter if it was early in the morning or late at night, Ethan would always answer his phone or get back to me within minutes. He was always getting me info on new listings days before I ever saw them on any websites. Ethan will be the first person I recommend to anyone I know looking to buy or sell a property.

We are first time home buyers and very new to the process. Ethan was very patient with us and helped us every step of the way. He did an amazing job with follow up and arranging for us to view several homes. Once we put in an offer on a home, he went above and beyond and even met with contractors at our new home when we could not be there. We would recommend him without hesitation to anyone purchasing a new home!
