What My Clients Say About MeTestimonials

William Edmonds

Chris provided great service and made sure we knew what was happening at each stage of the buying process. He was able to help navigate a particularly weird closing process and was able to help get us into our dream house by referring us to Ruhl mortgage which lead to a better loan. Overall Great!

Thomas Pryon

Chris was great to work with, He was more than willing to step in and work with vendors during and after the buyers inspection. Chris is a very good communicator that helped the entire selling prosses move smoothly and alleviated concerns or issues. I highly recommend him.

Matt & Shannon Carey

We cannot recommend Chris more! He was fantastic to work with and went above and beyond! In order to buy our next home we needed to sell ours in a tight timeline. His team got busy quickly! Throughout the process Chris was our guiding light with a steady demeanor and confidence. His deep understanding and knowledge was leveraged to help guide us to make the best informed decisions for our family. Chris is personal and caring, advocating for us every step of the way. Him and his team were punctual, helpful, and had great attention to detail and deadlines. We have full confidence in Chris and his team and recommend him to anyone that is buying or selling their home in the Cedar Rapids and surrounding areas!

Megan Steinman

My husband and I really enjoyed working with Chris to find our home! Chris is personable, responsive, and knowledgeable, and we appreciated his humor along the way! His expertise with the current market was valuable when looking in different neighborhoods and at different homes. He was keen to our interests, and took us on tours that matched our needs. We would happily work with Chris again in the future!

Tom Pyron

Selling a home can be stressful, with preparing the home for sale to finding a real estate agent who communicates well and follows-through in a timely manner; One who ensures that your best interests are represented in a fair and honest way and is not afraid to personally volunteer to assist challenges & concerns, both for the seller & buyer. Chris is all of those and more. I'm grateful to have been referred to Chris to sell my home. Even as stressful as it may get, Chris & Brooke were always available to help with a successful selling experience.

Chris is fantastic. He goes well above and beyond what a realtor normally does. He’s with you every step of the way day or night. He’s honest and has great communication. He’s very easy going and lays out all of the facts to let you make your own informed decision.

Wendy & Quincey Luedeman

We met Chris when looking at a property he was listing. We did not purchase that property, but we chose to work directly with Chris in a personalized search. He is down to earth, forthcoming, honest with his opinions, and really cares about the end goal of making hopes and dreams happen!

Brandt Varo

Chris Terukina was an exemplary realtor to work with as a first time home buyer. Obviously I had many questions that I did not know I even had, or how to word them, and he was exceptional in talking everything down into layman's terms as well as pointing me towards resources that could further my understanding. Chris was also extremely accommodating to my SO's and I's schedules as they were not necessarily easy to work with and because of life events had to put our home search on a back burner for a month, he understood and worked through that with us. As a first time buyer this all felt very stressful and huge at times, but I'm glad I had a realtor who made himself feel like a friend to me, Chris made the process super enjoyable for me even when I was feeling overwhelmed. I would highly recommend any of my friends and family to work with him.

Jacob Detrick

Great guy to work with. Explained everything and moved things along

Matthew Osen

Chris Terukina is top notch when it comes to reality in the Cedar Rapids greater area. Both my wife and I were in the process of relocating for two years and immediately hit it off with Chris. His punctuality and professionalism were right on point and his attentiveness to detail and planning was exactly what we expected plus some. The overall process never felt rushed, during a period time that it would be an easy mistake to do so given the market conditions on lack of inventory. Purchasing a home that you plan to live in and build your family is a major decision that needs a partner like Chris, and his partnering in getting it right the first time made the process all the more enjoyable. For anyone needing a realtor in the Cedar Rapids area, please consider Chris as your partner and friend in the process, it will be the best decision you make!!

Laurel Gammon

Chris did a great job explaining everything & walking me through the process as a young, first time home-buyer.

Travis Foss

I have bought many homes over the years, and I have to say that working with Chris Terukina was among the best home-buying processes I have ever had. He has a calm, confident and knowledgeable demeanor and knows the corridor real estate market. Chris helps buyers, and myself included, go through a very technical and stressful process with ease, and I was grateful to have him by my side as an advocate. I know that when I sell my next house, I will look forward to working with Chris again, and highly recommend that you do so as well.

Sarah Villarreal

Chris will be our lifelong realtor/friend. A true national treasure. His genuine, compassionate, and patient approach is unmatched. Chris worked with us for months to find our perfect space. He was amazing and put our minds at ease throughout each hurdle during the closing stages. He’s well-articulated in his field and truly was the beacon guiding us during our first-time home buying process. We are so incredibly grateful for him and happy in our new home!
