Knickerbocker Real Estate Team

Fantastic experience: Maggie was great to work with, she made sure I got the best deal and looked out for my best interests during the sale and closing, both Maggie and Ashley were responsive and communicated on all details through the sale, I would highly recommend both to anyone and everyone, grateful for both of them for their hard work and dedication throughout and even after the sale is final, you guys are rockstars!!

Fantastic experience: Ashlee is absolutely wonderful. She had advocated relentlessly for our family and always shows up with a customer-centric attitude. We’ve never felt pressured, only supported. We have used her to sell a house and will use her again for our next purchase.

Fantastic experience: We started looking for a house in September of 2025. After looking at houses here and there as they popped up, nothing was really measuring up to what we wanted. We decided to up our price. So, we started looking at more. Still, nothing was measuring up. So, after more discussions, we decided to build. Throughout this whole process, Ashlee was patient, immensely helpful, and just all-around fantastic. She was with us every step of the way. Once we started the build process, she was helping us find lots and builders that were within our range, transparent through all of it. Once we decided on a builder she made all the appointments, got us in touch with everyone we needed. She was there helping from start to finish. None of this would have been possible without her and her team. She also, helped sell our old house. Everything that the buyer wanted, big, small, cosmetic or major she would help with suggestions and strategy. If something needed fixed or done, she had a contact for absolutely EVERYTHING! Truly a one-stop shop for real-estate buying/selling. We can't express our gratitude enough for what her and her team did. As stressful as it is to buy and sell a house she is a true professional and in the end, a friend.

Fantastic experience: Aly Gordon with Ashlee’s team was wonderful to work with. She was very knowledgeable about the entire process and made it seamless for me. She always responded to anything I needed quickly and I’d recommend her to anybody! Thanks Aly and Ashlee! I’d recommend Aly and Ashlee to anyone looking to sell their home

Fantastic experience: Ashlee and her team were such a delight to work with when selling our home!

We appreciated each and every one of the team members and the roles they played.

Fantastic experience: This is our second time buying & selling with Ashlee and her team. We started the journey right before COVID so it was filled with unexpected and unprecedented hurdles. Ashlee helped ensure we were comfortable and getting the best deal for our family. She was patient, never pushed us to settle, used her expansive knowledge to ensure we thought through all the details and stuck with us for 3 long years to find the perfect home and best deal for our family. Although we hope to stay pu for a while when the time comes, we will work with Goldfinch again, no questions asked.

Fantastic experience: Ashlee has been wonderful to work with, and she made the process incredibly easy! She has a wealth of knowledge and answered all of our questions quickly. We were also very appreciative when she wasn't available she would send her coworker, who was also wonderful, so we didn't miss any opportunities. Ashlee also knew the home buying process could be stressful and always stayed positive and reminded us our time will come. We are so thankful for you Ashlee, thank you!

Fantastic experience: Ashlee has helped me purchase two properties and sell two additional properties, she has always made the process very enjoyable. Her dedication to her clients does not end at the sale, I recently shipped a package to an old address and she went out of her way to communicate with the new owners and get the package back to me, I feel others may have ignored my text for help and she jumped on it! Ashlee’s combination of knowledge and personality make buying or selling a home with her your best option. Ashlee is a partner for life and will have all of my future business!

We knew we could trust Ashlee to help us find our dream home and she did just that! Thank you Ashlee!

Fantastic experience: Ashlee and her team are simply the best. Ashlee makes you feel incredibly comfortable through the entire buy & selling process. She assisted us in both buy and selling our home and there is no other realtor I’d use or trust as much as Ashlee!

Fantastic experience: First off, great experience. Ashlee was recommended to me by a friend, who had nothing but good things to say. After working with Ashlee and Kyle, I can confirm that the good things that were said were true. Going into the purchasing process, I had an image in mind of what I wanted and a budget of what I was wanting to spend. Ashlee helped me make a dream into a reality, guiding me through the purchasing process and the finding of my new home. If you are a first time home buyer unsure of where to start, what to do, and how to do it, then Ashlee and her team are the ones to make it happen. Keep an open mind. I thought I had an idea of what I wanted and through her experience, my viewpoint changed slightly and I cannot be anymore happier with the results.

Fantastic experience: Ashlee and Kyle made the selling of our home of 40 years one of the easiest transitions. They were so caring and compassionate during the process.

We’ve used Ashlee & team twice for home buys and would recommend her without hesitation to ANYONE within earshot willing to listen to how fantastic she is!

Ashlee is out to make sure her clients get the best bang for their buck, the right home for their family, and a transparent and simplified home buying process. Buy with confidence!!

Fantastic experience: Ashlee and her team, are beyond professional, they go above and beyond their way to make selling or buying a new home a trust worthy and easy process. I highly recommend contacting Ashlee, truly an incredible realtor!

We were selling our business and home in Arkansas and relocating to Iowa, we had already found a property we loved and set Ashley to work on it. Ashley was always willing to take a call with us when we wanted to see the house or had questions. Our calls and e-mails were answered almost instantly.

Fantastic experience: As first-time homebuyers, having Ashlee walk my wife and I through the homebuying process actually made the process enjoyable instead of overwhelming. She was on top of every issue before it even became an issue. From scheduling inspections, gutter replacements, radon mitigation, and even writing a few checks for me when I would forget, she was on top of everything. I especially appreciate how she didn't rush my wife and I through the process. We were able to take our time and visit multiple houses before working with Ashlee to make our offer.

Fantastic experience: Jimmy was an extremely helpful realtor to have represent me. I was a first time homebuyer and he took the time to walk me through the whole process and provide lots of information to me. We were able to tour many properties and he listened to what I wanted in a property and provided listings that matched what I was looking for. I have a very busy schedule with my career and work long hours. I really appreciated the open communication Jimmy had with me. He was available all of the time and was very flexible in accommodating my crazy schedule. He is very personable, checks in and provides updates in a timely manner, and always has the client's best interest at heart. Jimmy went above and beyond for me and I am forever appreciative of that.

Fantastic experience: It started as just a friend giving some advice and turned into the best choice for an agent to help us through the selling of our home and buying/building our new home! Ashlee was amazing through the whole process. She listened to what we wanted and needed and made it happen in selling our home. And then she was there the whole way through the process of building our current home! She showed up for every meeting with the designers and contractors, made sure timelines were being met, and had great communication with us along the way. Ashlee and Kyle are a great team to work with and we would definitely choose them again!

Fantastic experience: I seriously can't say enough wonderful things about the Knickerbocker Real Estate team. Ashlee and Kyle were both wonderful to work with. They were so flexible and between the 2 of them, we never once missed the opportunity to see a home that came up on the market that interested us. My husband and I were first time homebuyers so we needed someone who could provide a lot of guidance and really walk us through the whole process. Ashlee was wonderful in explaining everything and was always happy to answer our questions. She really knows what she's doing and we felt like her advice and decisions when it came to submitting our offer were what landed us our home in such a competitive market. We were referred to Ashlee by a co-worker, and I have already referred her to my parents as well. I would recommend her and her team to anyone looking to purchase a home.

Fantastic experience: Ashlee and her team helped us sell our last home and purchase our new home. She was there to help us every step of the process, and went above and beyond what we could have ever expected. Our mortgage processor almost missed our closing date, and Ashlee really went to bat for us to get things done.

Ashlee is knowledgeable and has such a fun personality. I highly recommend her!!!

We will definitely be keeping them as our agents in the future. Thanks again for all your help.

Fantastic experience: This was my first home buying experience. Ashlee and Jimmy were amazing to work with. I had no idea what to expect but they were always there to answer any questions I had. They were also available to show me houses when I brought one up within a day or two and around my crazy work schedule. They made the first time home buyer process so easy!

If the time comes for me to sell, I will definitely be calling them to help in that process too!

Fantastic experience: I HIGHLY recommend Ashlee and her team. She definitely knows what she's doing and without a doubt is looking out for her client. I had an issue with a really incompetent lender, and Ashlee really came thru and saved the day/deal on that one. I almost said forget it to the entire thing, until Ashlee caught wind of what was going on. If you're looking for peace of mind, definitely go with Ashlee and her team!!!

Fantastic experience: I recently worked with Ashlee to purchase my first home in Des Moines and I was so happy she was my realtor. Ashlee is very focused and interested in helping the home search and purchase activity go efficiently and smoothly, she is very responsive and knowledgeable. She has a strong background in providing references for local professionals whether it be home inspection, mortgage brokers, insurance agents, tradesmen, ect. Ashlee is pleasant and resourceful and an excellent professional to deal with, I highly recommend her and her team with no reservation.

Fantastic experience: Purchasing a home with Ashlee was wonderful. We went into and toured well over 30 homes while COVID-19 was in full swing and she didn’t miss a beat even with all the hectic planning during a pandemic. She was helpful, knowledgeable and eager to help us each step of the way. Since closing our home she has been a wonderful resource as well. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: This was my third home buying experience, and I can say with confidence that Ashlee Knickerbocker and the Knickerbocker Real Estate Team are easily the most professional Realtor Group I have ever worked with. Ashlee took a tremendous amount of time to listen to our buying needs, and had a wonderful command of the market getting us 6 viewings over a quick weekend. Each viewing exceeded my wife’s demanding expectations. I would not hesitate to sign again with the Knickerbocker Real Estate Team for future needs.

Fantastic experience: Ashlee was so much fun to shop houses with! She was quick to point out things we didn't notice and educate us in a lot of different areas. She didn't mind answering all of our questions. She was able to help us find our dream house. Down the road when we buy again I know who to call!

Fantastic experience: I purchased the house I had been renting for almost 8 years. Ashley was the sellers' agent. She was attentive and respectful to me and my needs as the buyer, without compromising her position as agent for the seller. Everything went smoothly and very quickly. Ours was not a common circumstance, buyer & seller already having a good relationship. I would highly recommend Ashley and her team whether buying or selling.

Fantastic experience: Ashlee was so awesome to work with! This was my first home buying experience, and she made it easy. We had a lot of fun looking at different homes, we even looked at places we knew we couldn't choose, getting a feel for what we wanted. She had a lot of great advice, and pushed for more from the seller's than even I thought we should, and we got a fantastic deal! Will definitely be calling her again when we need a new home

Fantastic experience: Knicherbocker real estate is absolutely amazing would recommend them to anyone!
