⊗ Home Buyer and Seller Success Stories in Cedar Rapids


Real clients share their experiences: 

"Like some of Tony’s other clients, I started watching his “Living in Iowa” YouTube channel even before I was seriously thinking about buying or selling my home. From the beginning, Tony came across as honest, understanding, and incredibly diligent. I had complete trust in him — he's a family man who truly took the time to understand my needs. There were moments when he could have pushed for a quicker sale of my condo or rushed the purchase of my new home, but Tony never did that. In my experience, he showed nothing but professionalism and integrity throughout the entire process. He’s not just a great realtor — he truly represents the values of Iowa 100%. If you're thinking about buying or selling in Iowa, I wholeheartedly recommend Tony and his “Living in Iowa” team. He made a difference for me, and I’m confident he will for you too."

Juan & Flor

"We first saw Tony on his youtube channel (Living in Iowa) when i started having interest in moving to Iowa. After watching his and other Iowa realter videos I gave Tony a call. He was totally professional, honest, and answered all of my questions in a timely manner. He showed us homes during our visits and did videos on several other homes which was a great help being we are 750 miles away. He made the entire process of buying a home alot easier than I could have imagined. I cannot say this enough. If you are thinking about moving to or within the state of Iowa, give Tony and his "Living in Iowa" team a call. Tony did a great job for us and we really appreciate what he did helping us buy a home in Iowa and you will too."

Randall and family

"Tony is great to work with. Selling this home was not something we wanted to do, but knew we had to. Tony was patient, let us make our own decisions and was there with reasonable advice when we asked. I'm so glad he sent his intro email to my brother when we first listed the house. Thank you. LMA"

Lisa

"I cannot thank Tony Lueken enough for his help selling my home. After interviewing 6 different realtors, I knew Tony was the perfect choice for me. He answered all my questions and did an excellent job breaking down terms about selling a home that I did not understand. He was exceptionally quick to respond at all hours of the day and had a very welcoming personality that was easy to talk to. He has an amazing staging and photography team that made my house look beautiful. He went above and beyond assisting me with selling my home from helping me clean, mow the grass before closing as I wasn't able to return home in time to do it, and working with the potential buyers and their realtors. His fee is lower than other realtors and the work he put in was exceptionally more than a realtor I used a few years ago. I was able to earn more money from the sale of my home using Tony than I would have after paying the FSBO fees. I would highly recommend using Tony Lueken to buy or sell a home in the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City/North Liberty area!"

Katalina

"We found Tony on YouTube and were amazed by how knowledgeable, friendly, helpful he’s been helping us find our first home. I’m grateful for his experience, and feel he has our best interests at heart."
