    My wife and I relocated from Utah to Iowa earlier this year and received a strong recommendation to use Chrissi. Best decision ever. I can't recommend her highly enough! From the very first meeting, it was evident she had an incredible dedication to finding the perfect home for us. She took the time to understand our unique needs and preferences and worked tirelessly to present a range of options that fit our criteria. Her approach and online tools were perfect for someone moving across the country.What really stood out was her responsiveness. No matter the time of day, she was always quick to answer our questions or provide updates, making us feel supported every step of the way. Her professionalism and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. She was also an expert at collaborating with the outside lending team we chose which made the entire buying process much easier. Working with Chrissi feels like collaborating with a friend rather than just a real estate team. Even 3 months after closing on our home, she is always available to answer my questions quickly. Her personality makes it easy to communicate openly, and we genuinely appreciate her guidance and expertise.

    We have know Chrissi Ripperger for a few years now. She has helped other family members to buy their homes, and now my husband and I. She answered all our questions in a timely manner by email, phone, or in person. She scheduled showings when it was convenient to our family, and took all our needs/wants in to consideration when picking houses. She works hard to give you the best experience in buying your first home or your next home. I couldn't be happier with our experience and will use 15 hands again when ready for our next home.

    All good things to say about realtor Chrissi Ripperger and her team at 15 Hands! Being new to the selling side of real estate, Chrissi really helped me through the process every step of the way. Selling a home in a timely manner could be stressful, but Chrissi always had the right answers, and went over and beyond to accommodate my requests.I would definitely recommend using Chrissi for any size home purchase/sale, she has tons of experience, and really knows the ins and outs of the reality world. I am confident Chrissi got me the best price and worked hard at negotiating to really make it a great deal.If you are undecided on a realtor, I would give Chrissi a call, and hear what she has to say. Her personality and experience will draw you in, and you can really tell she has a passion for, and deep knowledge of the Des Moines area.Best of luck on your future home purchase/sale with Chrissi!

    Chrissi was great to work with - very transparent with all the steps of selling our house! She was positive and showed how knowledgeable she was throughout the entire process, and her work on building connections and relationships in the area clearly showed. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a house!

    We had our first experience with Chrissi when we were building our new home. She was the selling agent and was beyond knowledgeable and friendly. We were selling our home with another local agent. Our house was on the market for longer than we were anticipating (75 days) and Chrissi stepped in to help our agent out. We eventually hired her to sell our home and she did so within 10 days. The housing market had really turned for the worse but Chrissi brought so much to the table. I would certainly recommend her to anyone. She is the absolute best!

    Chrissi did a fantastic job finding the perfect home for us. We asked her to stay within a specific area & budget and she was able to do both. We loved the fact that she was very transparent regarding home values and very knowledgable regarding home construction. Highly recommend Chrissi.

    We have moved several times, and Chrissi is by far the best realtor we have ever used. She is very knowledgeable about the area and neighborhoods, and helped us find what we needed. Chrissi is fun to work with, and no matter how busy she is, she always found time for us and treated us like we were her only clients.

    Chrissi was our initial contact on our new construction with Frampton Homes. We were moving to Iowa from Minnesota and didn't have much information on builders. She promptly responded to the message I left her. From that initial phone call we felt she was honest and very knowledgeable and when we made our decision to go with her, that proved to be the case. Everything she told us on the initial phone call played out in the building process. She was always there every step of the way, offering excellent insight as we made our choices for the house. We also really appreciated how responsive she was to our questions. She would typically get back to us the same day. It was good to know we could trust her throughout the building process. She is great and we would highly recommend her!
