Aww, thank you, Horacio. It's been a pleasure helping you and your family. I wish you all the best!
Fantastic experience: Emily was fantastic to work with during my home search in Iowa City. As a first-time homebuyer, I found the process overwhelming at times, but Emily's patience, guidance, and expertise made all the difference. She was an incredible resource for learning about the area and navigating every step of the home-buying process. Because I was living out of state for most of the time between making an offer and closing, it was especially valuable to have someone I could trust. Emily kept everything organized, provided printed documents and helpful resources—including a home-buying guide—and was always available to answer my questions. She even spent three days driving me to multiple listings so I could make the most of my time in town. Throughout the process, Emily was a strong advocate for my interests while maintaining a positive and professional relationship with the sellers. I always felt that she had my best interests in mind. What stood out most was her ability to make what can be a stressful experience feel exciting and enjoyable for both me and my partner. I would absolutely work with Emily Farber again and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home, especially first-time buyers.
Thank you, Nick! You’re right! Buying a home can be stressful, especially for the first time. A relocation move adds a whole other layer to the process. It’s a big decision, a commitment, and a lot of money. I’m glad you felt informed, supported and encouraged throughout the process—that’s my goal!
Fantastic experience: Moving from North Carolina to Iowa City was a big transition, and we’re grateful to have had Emily Farber by our side. Unfamiliar with the area, we relied on her knowledge and guidance, and she was exceptional throughout. Emily is responsive, thorough, and a great communicator. We especially appreciated her warmth, humor, and genuine care. With her help, we found the perfect home and couldn’t be happier. We highly recommend her to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and professional Realtor.
Thank you, Chris! With your and Kurt's connections in the industry I am well aware you could have your pick of real estate agents. I am honored to have had the opportunity to help you with your relocation to the Iowa City area and assist you with the purchase transaction of your home. Added bonus--the chance to meet such a kind and fun couple!
Fantastic experience: We had a fantastic experience working with Emily Farber to purchase our new home in Iowa. Since we were relocating from out of state, having someone who truly knew the area was invaluable, and Emily exceeded our expectations every step of the way. Emily was always positive, attentive, and in constant communication with us throughout the entire process. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the local market and neighborhoods, which helped us feel confident in our decisions. No matter how many questions we had, she was always available to provide guidance and honest advice. Even after helping us find the right home, Emily continued to be a great resource by recommending reliable local contractors and helping us get settled into the area. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine commitment to her clients made what could have been a stressful move a smooth and enjoyable experience. We highly recommend Emily Farber to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and truly goes above and beyond for her clients.
Thank you, Erkin, for the wonderful review. We're so glad Emily made your out-of-state move smooth and that her local knowledge, responsiveness, and contractor recommendations were helpful. She’ll be thrilled to hear your kind words. We appreciate your recommendation and are here if you need anything as you settle into your new home.
Fantastic experience: Emily was great to work with and was the most helpful with the search for our first home!! She visits multiple homes within the first week of working together and I appreciated her virtual tours of homes since we are out of state! We couldn’t have purchased a home without her!
Happy to help with your relocation move, Michaela! Thank you so much for the nice review--I appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: Working with Emily was the best experience that we could have asked for when buying our first house. She was very kind and, most of all, very patient with us. We were first-time home buyers and had a lot of questions. She was more than happy to answer our questions, explain and guide us through the process, and even caught certain things that we forgot to check to ensure that we were given a fair deal and bought a good home. We cannot thank Emily enough; if we were to do it all over again, we would not hesitate to choose her again.
Aww, thank you, Sadie, what a kind review! I have a special spot in my heart for assisting first time home buyers because there is so much to learn about the home buying process and I enjoy teaching/guiding.
Fantastic experience: Emily helped me buy my first condo in 2021 and my partner and I came back to her again to buy our first house this year. She’s exactly who you want in your corner, especially if you’re new to the area or a first time homebuyer. She’s an excellent teacher and takes the time to explain the real estate process in an approachable, friendly way. She’s not pushy, and helps you weigh options realistically to find the best fit for your budget and family. Deep knowledge of the area, hard worker, and creative problem solver who truly cares about her clients. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much, Maggie, for your thoughtful review. Helping clients on a repeat basis is an honor!
Fantastic experience: She will get you the results you are after. She’s smart, extremely knowledgeable and a kind person.
Fantastic experience: Emily Farber with LKR Realtors in Iowa City was patient, helpful, honest, and kind throughout my home-buying process. Her professionalism and deep knowledge of the local neighborhoods made the search much smoother. She really listened to what I was looking for and used her understanding of the market to help me find the perfect home that fits all my needs. She stayed organized and made every step of the process feel easy and enjoyable. I truly appreciated her support and dedication to making the experience as stress-free as possible.
Thank you! Real estate is not always a "straight line journey." We got there eventually and I'm so happy you love your condo!
Fantastic experience: Working with Emily as our realtor was an outstanding experience from start to finish. We couldn't be happier that we came across her YouTube page. Her knowledge of the market and the entire home-buying process was clear from day one. She took the time to explain every step, answer all of our questions, and make sure we felt confident in our decisions. Emily was highly responsive and kept us informed throughout the entire process. She was quick to act anytime a hurdle arised. As out-of-state home buyers, this meant a lot to us. Emily even went to view a property for us the same day it became available, and thanks to her quick action, we were able to place an offer that night. Emily went above and beyond at every step with patience and professionalism. She took into consideration what we were looking for after viewing properties together. She truly cared about making the process smooth for us, even helping us when our rental car got stuck on a B-level road during our visit. This is something we definitely didn’t expect a realtor to help with. Most importantly, she was a true advocate for us. She looked out for our best interests, guided us through negotiations, knew the market for fair asking price, and made sure we were comfortable with every decision along the way. We always felt like we had someone in our corner. We highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, kind, and responsive realtor who genuinely cares about her clients and works extremely hard to get the best possible outcome.
Aww. Thank you, Nicole and Jimmy. I can't wait to watch you guys grow into your acreage and enjoy the quiet joys of building your new life here!
Fantastic experience: Exciting day yesterday, as we did the closing, and got the key to the house we bought to call it, from now on- our home. It's not the first property I bought in my lifetime and worked with realtors both in the United States as well as overseas in other countries. I worked with some bad realtors, some good ones, though I wouldn't put Emily in any of these categories as she is one of a kind and a league above all those I worked with. She is much more than a Real-Estate Agent - I would define her 'A Dream Make Come True Realtor'. She was there all the way for us accompanied us to view many houses for sell with so much patient and not giving up on us - the couple who drag her from one house viewing to another. She was the one to guide us what lenders would work better for us and which wouldn't to pursue our dream. She was there to help arranging inspections, before closing as well as contractors to do some upgrades after. I can summaries like I told her - NO WORDS WILL BE ENOUGH TO EXPRESS OUR GRATITUED - YOU MADE A DREAM COME TRUE!
Awww, Nadav, you are too kind. Thank you, and I am thrilled that you and Maribel have made your dreams come true.
Fantastic experience: Emily was excellent to work with, I couldn't recommend her services more. My spouse and I worked with Emily to buy a house in Iowa City while living out of state, and she went above and beyond in every possible way to make the experience smooth, seamless, and transparent for us. She is an excellent and timely communicator, and it always felt like our best interests were top of mind. She was very available and no detail or concern felt too small. She has a wonderful eye for detail and regularly advised us during every step of the process. Through working with her over time, we really came to trust her and are so thankful for how easy she made what can easily be a stressful process for us. I highly recommend Emily!
Thank you, Tori! I really appreciate your words about trust. I know a lot of people out there think Realtors are a dime a dozen and of questionable ethics, and being lumped in with that is something I never want to be associated with. THANK YOU for putting words to something I strive for with my clients--professionalism, attention to detail, care and trust.
Fantastic experience: Emily was fantastic to work with during our home purchase in Iowa City! She’s responsive, proactive, and very organized, and she made the entire process feel clear and manageable from start to finish. She gave us honest, practical guidance at every step, advocated for us in negotiations, and stayed on top of timelines so nothing slipped. We’d absolutely recommend Emily to anyone buying in the Iowa City area.
Thank you, Steven! I hope you and Tori love your new home. It makes me smile to think you identified that area of town as beautiful way back when you were in college and then that ended up being where you new house was built...it seems written into the stars! ✨
Fantastic experience: Emily is the best! Our family feels so fortunate we got to work with her! She is extremely knowledgeable and made us think about things we would have never thought about when buying a new home. She is honest, trustworthy, so kind, and very fun to work with. What I loved the most of the communication. She promptly answered to calls, emails, and texts in a very timely manner. She never left us hanging or in the dark. If she did not know the answer to a question she would figure it out. We are so impressed with her. I would highly recommend Emily to anyone! We are so lucky to have had her as our realtor to help us find our forever home!!
Aww, thank you, Alysa. Sometimes it's a journey to get to the end goal, but I think you and Michael found a great home in an ideal location for you family. Thank you for trusting me to help you through the process. ☺️
Fantastic experience: My fiancé and I had the best experience with Emily! As a first time homebuyer, I wanted to work with someone who is highly knowledgeable, trustworthy, and someone with a great personality who makes their clients feel comfortable and confident. Emily checked off all the boxes. She was the right person to help us make the right educated decisions, and we found the dreamiest home! I highly recommend Emily to any buyer, and especially to first time homebuyers. She is a gem!
Thank you Janay! I count myself as lucky to have clients as wonderful as you and Nick.
Fantastic experience: Emily has been a buyers agent from realtor heaven!!!! Our family relocated from Southern California to Iowa City early this year and it has been anything but easy! We found a home we thought we loved, after months of negotiations and a short term rental (and countless late night conversations with Emily) we also found the home to have significant sewer issues and our entire family needed to evacuate just two days before we were said to close on the house. Emily was the first one to show up with coffee and a willingness to help us figure out next steps, while I had a complete panty twist! By the next day Emily found us our next home, she made it so easy it felt somewhat unreal. Emily has the patience of a saint, the personality you’d want your best friend to have and the all around ability to figure things out….even if she does have to bring in her head broker to get answers, she’ll find those answers! As a complete stranger, Emily was kind, resourceful and easy to communicate with. As a new friend, I know I’ll have an honest & trustworthy human by my side. I HIGHLY recommend Emily for all of your real estate needs, she will effectively, gracefully and happily exceed your expectations :) The Crouse family
Awww, thank you! I feel like we went to the dark side of real estate and back together. LOL! Thank you for being YOU!
Fantastic experience: Emily was amazing to work with. She listened, understood, and we found the perfect place. Thank you!
Thank you, Maritta! Wishing you allll the peace and tomato plants.
Fantastic experience: Emily was very helpful and receptive as we searched for the perfect home. Her attention to detail, patience with our needs and timeline was appreciated.Thank you, Emily, for your hard work and expertise!
Thank you, Hannah! With patience a good house fit always comes along!
Fantastic experience: We had the absolute best experience working with Emily! As first-time homebuyers, the process felt overwhelming at first, but she made it feel simple and exciting! She was always quick to respond, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly listened to what we were looking for. She helped us find the perfect home that checked all the boxes we were looking for. We felt supported every step of the way and genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. Highly recommend!
I'm so happy to hear this Gabbi! Taking a big, overwhelming process and breaking it into manageable pieces is exactly what I aim to do!
Fantastic experience: Emily Farber is the kind of real estate agent you want in your corner. We learned of Emily over a year before we moved to the Iowa City area because we found her on YouTube ( @EmilyFarber). Her videos were instrumental in helping us learn that Iowa City was right for us and determining which neighborhoods suited us best. Once we were ready to buy, we called Emily on a Tuesday to see if we could see a newly listed house we thought might sell quickly. She kindly showed us the house that same evening as well as a comp. Then, by Thursday, we saw a third house, and we went under contract on it by Friday in a transaction that had a lot of quick deadlines. She never missed a beat and always kept our interests top of mind. But Emily's speedy and generous service didn't end there! She proactively reminded us of the next steps in the buying process so we never missed a deadline, recommended excellent tradespeople (e.g., home inspector, radon specialist, electrician), and made time for us to return to the house to consult with renovators before our closing. Emily is organized, efficient, well-connected, kind, and fun. Not only that, she's incredibly knowledgeable about the Iowa City area, buying and selling homes, and the real estate industry as a whole. Just watch her YouTube videos. It'll quickly become obvious that Emily puts a lot of time and effort into being a superior agent.
Oh, gosh! Tracey and Mark, you two are delightful and it was a pleasure to help you find your amazing home! Thank YOU for giving me a call .
Fantastic experience: Emily helped us out with our move from out of state. She was knowledgeable, professional and patient. It was a very stressful time for us and she helped keep us sane!
Thank you, Abbie! I love helping people through the process of relocating to the Iowa City area.
Fantastic experience: I was very happy with my Realtor Emily Farber from Lepic-Kroeger, REALTORS. She is highly professional in every way. She gets straight to work to educate you on the current market and she offers the best options and suggestions to help in the sale of your home. She listens to the wishes of her client and works well with people. Her response time to any calls, emails or text messages were phenomenal. We had a quick sale and I could not be happier with the final outcome.
Thank you, Donna! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely the right move! Emily helped us navigate the process from start to finish with ease. Her listing strategy led to my mother's house selling quickly and above asking price. She gave us a thorough analysis of the offers to help pick the best one! She was always very responsive and a pleasure to work with. Thank you so much!
Thank you, Simone! It was pleasure to help you and your mother and I greatly appreciate the opportunity.
Fantastic experience: Emily helped us buy our first home in '19 and sell it this year. She is phenomenal, truly the best realtor you can get. As first time home buyers coming from the South she helped us understand what to look for in Iowa homes and helped us to be competitive in a market where houses were pending within a few hours. She spent a whole day touring houses with us and responded whenever a home came up on the MLS that we wanted to see immediately. She has helped two of our friends purchase their first homes too. For selling our house she helped us price it in a way to receive competing offers and get it pending within a weekend. She understood how difficult it was getting a house ready with a toddler and on a crunched time frame and was able to recommend cleaners. She navigates negotiations like the pro she is. She worked with us on signing papers when we hit the busy rush on trying to move out. She's never pushy, incredibly professional and west respected in her field. Beyond buying and selling she recommended repair people over the years and even helped us find an excellent realtor where we were moving to next. Her use of social media/technology is far beyond her competitors making her great for out of town home buyers as well as showing the home you're selling in a beautiful way. When you hire Emily you hire a professional and a friend. She goes above and beyond. Thank you Emily!
Thank you for the detailed review, Shea! I am honored to have been given the opportunity to represent you and Trey in multiple transactions over the years. I wish your family nothing but the best! ❤️
Fantastic experience: Emily is an AMAZING agent! She helped my buyers sell their home in Iowa while I helped them land in Georgia. Her communication was timely and thorough throughout the process, making the purchasing in Georgia super easy and efficient. Thanks for all your help Emily!
Thanks, Jacky! It was a pleasure working with you.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend choosing Emily as your Iowa City-area real estate agent. She is professional, knowledgeable, intelligent, and kind. She communicates clearly and often, listens closely, and knows exactly when to speak up. We moved to Iowa City from across the country, and Emily expertly helped us find the home that suited our needs perfectly. In this industry, it is important to know you have someone trustworthy, who has your best interests at heart, and Emily is just that.
Thank you, Kelsey! I'm flattered! I hope you and Will love your new home--both the townhome and the city.
Fantastic experience: I have been remiss in sharing my review of Emily. She is the penultimate professional at all times and guided us through a difficult week last February, finding us a house we could call home. We moved in two months ago and this is the perfect location. We could not have asked for anything more. If we were to ever sell (which we're not planning) we would not hesitate to contact her. We wish her well in all her future endeavors.
Thank you, Kevin! It’s so nice to hear that you’re enjoying your new home and that it suits you well.
Fantastic experience: Emily is excellent and she gets my highest recommendation! She is professional, yet warm. She asks great questions, is prompt and efficient, and is a perfect guide for navigating the real estate world. Reach out to her -- you will not regret it!
Thank you, Abby! Your thoughtful words mean a lot to me!
Fantastic experience: Emily is very easy to work with. She goes above and beyond in assisting to sell your home or even buying a home. She does her homework in determining a sell price for your home and understanding the housing market. Highly recommended!
Thank you, Deb! Your house was so lovely and well-kept…it was a pleasure to help you sell it!
Fantastic experience: Emily is the greatest. She is a knowledgeable realtor who goes above and beyond for her clients. As an out-of-state client we needed a lot of help and recommendations about the area, and she was always there for us making the transition lot smoother.
Thank you, Iveta! I hope you and your family love your Iowa City home!
Fantastic experience: Thank you Emily, once again, for making the purchase of our property so easy, quick and enjoyable. You found the perfect place for us in no time! So much appreciated!
It was my pleasure! I'm excited for your rental venture to launch!
Fantastic experience: We began working with Emily from abroad while planning a move to Iowa City. She was knowledgeable and understanding of our somewhat unique situation, especially during a tough market for buyers. When we were ready to start looking at houses in person, she was patient and committed to helping our family find the right fit for us. We couldn’t have done it without her guidance from beginning to end. I’d recommend Emily to anyone, especially those needing help through a long distance move.
Thank you for the kind words, Sara! It was a pleasure helping your family find a home. We managed it in the nick of time!
Fantastic experience: Emily Farber serves as a role model for realtors in the Iowa City area. She took the time to understand our needs and get to know us as people, and used her expertise and knowledge to enable us to secure our dream home in the heart of the city. She understands the importance of relationships, and her tenure in the market will ensure you understand all aspects of your real estate transaction. We heartily recommend Emily for your real estate needs.
Thanks, Joel! I appreciate your thoughtful review!
Fantastic experience: I want to give a huge shout out to Emily Farber with LEPIC-KROEGER Realty. After my husband passed suddenly May 30th I was forced to sell the house. Emily was referred to me by Allison Reid Haack (thank you so much)... while dealing with my husband's death, a senior graduating high-school, moving myself and my son into apartments, Emily was amazing. She spent an entire Saturday helping me do a deep clean before listing the house...the several times I broke down in tears she quietly sat with me until I was able to continue. She saved me from making several rash decisions, and always answered my calls and texts when I was panicked talking me through whatever tragedy I thought was occurring, reassuring me everything would be ok. Finally, less than 60 days from listing, we will close on the house Friday! I cant say enough about Emily or come close to showing her how much I appreciate everything she has done!! She is amazing and my family has been blessed having her navigate us through this roller coaster ride. THANK YOU LEPIC-KROEGER and BLESS YOU Emily Farber...forever grateful
Aww, Sandy, thank you! It was my pleasure to do what I could help you and your family during this difficult time.
Fantastic experience: Our experience in working with Emily Farber in buying our new home in Iowa City was nothing short of wonderful! We found Emily via her channel on YouTube, and after viewing several of her amazing videos, met with her via Zoom from Kansas City to begin our home search process. She has the pulse on every aspect of buying a home in this area, as well as all facets of what living life is like in Iowa City, Cedar Rapids and surrounding communities. Her knowledge of every neighborhood, quality of home builders, “gotchas” to watch out for, etc. helped us so much in our decision making. Emily is a consummate professional, with great negotiating skills, and acts with the urgency required in today’s home buying climate. We would highly recommend working with Emily Farber on both buying or selling your property!
Thank you, Kim! My YouTube clients are always some of the best, and I love meeting all the interesting people who reach out from far flung (and not so far) places!
Fantastic experience: Emily is a great asset and friend, especially for a first time home buyer! She was insightful and patient with us as we navigated through a new experience, and made sure we were always put first. She will make sure you know what you are getting and is a great negotiator!
Thank you, Stephanie! It's always fun to help people find the right place to call home!
Fantastic experience: Emily really listened to what I needed and wanted. She is extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and responsive. If you are thinking of buying a home, even if you don't know where to start, give Emily Farber a call!
Thanks, Aubry! It’s always exciting to help someone who is embarking on a new adventure in a new place!
Fantastic experience: We feel lucky to have Emily help us find our first home that fits our needs. Her professionalism and patience always make us comfortable to ask her any questions, even after we move in. I would definitely recommend her to any first-home buyers like me.
Thank you, Bo! I appreciate your kind words and am happy to hear you had a positive experience working with me for your first home purchase.
Fantastic experience: I had an incredible experience working with Emily when purchasing my first home! Emily was a fantastic real estate agent, providing guidance, support, and expertise throughout the entire process. Her knowledge of the local real estate market was outstanding, and she went above and beyond to help me find the perfect home for my needs. Emily was always available to answer my questions and address my concerns, and she provided excellent communication every step of the way. She was patient and understanding with me as a first-time homebuyer, and she took the time to explain everything to me in detail so that I felt comfortable and informed throughout the process. In addition to her expertise and professionalism, Emily was also incredibly friendly and personable. She made the home-buying process enjoyable and stress-free, and I truly appreciated her positive attitude and enthusiasm. Overall, I can't recommend Emily enough! If you're looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and friendly real estate agent who will go above and beyond to help you find your dream home, look no further than Emily!

Fantastic experience: She is great helper worke with you to find your dream home
Thank you, Hatim! I'm glad we were able to find you and your family a house that fits your needs!
Fantastic experience: Buying a home can be both daunting and exciting. We wanted to work with someone who was well informed, personable, and professional. When we found Emily’s YouTube channel and clips about Iowa City, we were very impressed. Emily is a house guru- filled with a wealth of knowledge and insights. Emily was exceptional at understanding our needs and was very reliable and trustworthy. She made every aspect of our home purchase from the showings, the offer, and the closing a wonderful positive experience for our family. We highly recommend Emily to anyone looking to purchase or sell their home.
Thank you, Liz! It's an honor to welcome new families to Iowa City and help them find their place and settle in. I appreciate your kind words. ❤️
Fantastic experience: Emily did a fantastic job helping me locate and purchase my home. I moved to Iowa from out of state and she patiently answered all my questions and walked me through the process. I was impressed by her professionalism and knowledge about real estate laws and practices. I really felt like she was my advocate, not just trying to make a sale as quickly as possible. She pointed out areas of concern in homes that we viewed, and explained what I was seeing that I might not understand. She’s made herself available after the sale, to help me settle in and adjust to our new area. By choosing her from her YouTube videos, I gained not just a realtor, but a friend. I highly recommend her.
It is an honor I don't take lightly when people choose me to help them with big life transitions such as cross-country moves. Thank you, Kathy! I am so happy you found the right place to call home!
Fantastic experience: Emily was so easy to work with. She was prompt on our requests in a crazy market. She did her research and knew the area very well. We loved having her opinions on each property we looked at. She definitely advocates for you as a buyer and we were very happy with how the entire process was. Very smooth!
Thank you, Olivia! You and Tyler make a great pair, and I'm thrilled you found such a lovely house to begin your journey together in. I can't wait to see how you make it your own!
Fantastic experience: We were so fortunate to have Emily help us through buying our first home. Her confidence and expertise in navigating this crazy housing market was invaluable! I don't think we would have house keys in our hand right now without her. We're moving from 2,000 miles away and Emily's honest, detailed video tours provided us with everything we needed to make decisions that were right for our family. We'll definitely be reaching out to Emily when we're ready for our next real estate adventure. We can't recommend her enough!
Thank you, April! I am always honored when people put their trust in my to help them...ESPECIALLY when so much of it needs to be done long distance. I can't wait for you two to get to know Iowa City and all it has to offer. Welcome home!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely AMAZING! We had no idea about the intense process of selling and buying a house. Emily made it as easy as possible for us! She was very attentive to our needs and wants. She helped us through every step and made it a more enjoyable process. I would HIGHLY recommend Emily if you're looking to buy or sell.
Thank you, Tiffany! You guys were so easy to work with, both buying and selling. I had a great time getting to know you and hope that your new place brings you all the peace and wide open spaces you crave!
Fantastic experience: As first-time homebuyers, my husband and I didn’t know anything about this process. However, Emily made us feel at ease by taking her time to walk us through every single detail to help us find the perfect place for us. We appreciate that she was extremely flexible and worked around our schedule. While it wasn’t a trivial process, she made everything seem so easy. Thanks to Emily, buying our first place was a great experience, and would recommend her 100%.
Thank you, Andrea! Great clients like you and Juan are one of the reasons I find this profession so enjoyable!
Fantastic experience: Emily Truly went above and beyond in helping us with our new home in North Liberty. You will find her to be prompt and professional also well informed on just about everything in Iowa in general. Emily really stuck out online as well and has a vast informative YouTube channel. *Emily if you happen to read this review I thank you for the hard work you did in making our family home a reality and wish you well.
Thank you! I hope you make many happy memories in your new home and enjoy all that the growing community of North Liberty has to offer.
Fantastic experience: Emily is a superstar. My wife and I were first time homebuyers trying to buy from out of state. We never could've imagined buying a house sight unseen and then we met Emily. From the start, she was amazing. She made what could've been an overwhelming process so easy. She was always available to answer questions, on top of all deadlines, went to bat during negotiations, and made us perfectly at ease. During the home walk thrus, we felt like we were there! She is truly amazing. We can't recommend her highly enough.
So many people have a hard time believing I help people buy gorgeous homes sight-unseen, but you guys are the perfect example of how to make it work! Clear communication, open minds and video! I can't wait to hear about your Iowa City discovery/adventures once you get here!
Fantastic experience: Emily handled both my home purchase in 2020 and my home sale in 2021. She guided me through the entire processes as a first time home buyer and a first time seller. If you are in Iowa City area and looking to buy or sale, you won’t be disappointed with Emily!
Thanks, Yihao! It was a pleasure to help you with both transactions.
Fantastic experience: Emily was highly recommended to us, and we’d like to continue that strong recommendation chain! As first-time homebuyers entering a hugely competitive market at a very average price point, we had a lot of concerns and questions that Emily answered quickly, thoroughly, and accurately. She has been an excellent communicator and knows the market inside and out which allowed us to feel confident in making the big decisions needed in buying a property. Emily also provides excellent, detail-oriented personal service that helped us focus on our priorities and see how properties fit our needs and lifestyle. We have somewhat non-traditional schedules that are not very flexible, but Emily was easy to work with and, despite being busy even in the off-season, made accommodating our schedules (and last-minute changes) look simple. She is clear about what type of property and timeline is realistic and on top of the many deadlines we had to navigate, providing timely reminders for each step of the process. We cannot recommend her enough as a realtor and look forward to working with her again in the future!
Thank you, Molly! It’s always rewarding to work with clients like you and Michael who are eager to learn about the market and open to suggestions about how to write a winning offer! I am thrilled that you two found such a sweet house for your introduction into home ownership.
Fantastic experience: Engaging with Emily Farber to help find and purchase our condo has been an extremely positive and rewarding experience. We came to Emily through a friend’s recommendation and she lived up to our expectations. From the outset, she met what was possibly our most important criteria: she listened carefully and took on board all we, as clients, had to say about our needs and circumstances. Then through her impressive knowledge and experience in the Iowa City/Coralville real-estate and home improvement market, guided us successfully through the entire procurement process. On a personal level, we always found Emily positive, honest, professional, friendly, hardworking and incredibly responsive. Her patience was limitless and at no time did we feel pressure or judgement. Her integrity throughout, but especially during the final closing stages of process, gave us great confidence that we were always in good hands on the right track. We wholeheartedly recommend Emily to anyone needing real-estate services in our community.
Gosh! Thank you for the thoughtful review, Ian. I really don't consider myself to be a "sales person" at all...rather a consultant working on behalf of my clients and your words express that perfectly.
Fantastic experience: We have worked with Emily as buyers and sellers and she goes above and beyond to meet the needs of her clients. She is very knowledgeable about the Corridor area and she will patiently work with you to reach a successful outcome. Best realtor in the Corridor area!
Thank you for the kind words, Angie, I appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: Emily is tremendous. She absolutely knows what she's doing, listens extremely well, and works hard on behalf of her clients. I've known her for over 10 years, and can't recommend her highly enough for her honesty and integrity. She helped my son and his wife (first time home buyers) understand the Iowa City market, and worked with them to identify the home that will meet their needs.
Thank you for the referral, Scott! Word-of-mouth recommendations are such an important part of the real estate business when it comes to people connecting with an agent they trust.
Fantastic experience: Emily has been an ideal realtor for us. We have been searching for the perfect place in the Iowa City area for over a year. Emily did a fine job of understanding our rather specific needs and when the perfect listing showed up, she understood the true value of the property. When we looked at other properties over the past year, she was able to point out things which could cause problems after purchase, thus showing her true understanding of the market. Emily also was proactive in reminding us of things we needed to do ahead of time, which helped so much when concluding the purchase of the property. I feel that she does way more than we could have ever expected from a realtor and since we will be selling our current house soon, we trust her to give us good advice in that matter. We trust her professionalism implicitly and highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.
Thank you, Mary! I absolutely LOVE it when we are able to find the "needle in a haystack!" Patience is a virtue in many things, including real estate, and because you and Rich were patient you got exactly what you were hoping for!
Fantastic experience: Emily was such a pleasure to work with. She went far beyond expectations and was willing to communicate at night and on weekends to get the job done. We were looking for a place in Iowa City remotely, and Emily made the process easy and walked us through properties on her phone. She also knows the area thoroughly so she provided unique insight as to which areas would meet our needs. If you are looking for the best realtor in the Iowa City area, you’ve found her.
Thank you for the kind words, Vikash! It was a pleasure working with your family and getting to know all of you a bit.
Fantastic experience: I love her Youtube videos
Thanks, Danny! That’s great to hear!
Fantastic experience: Emily is a fantastic realtor ! She went out of her way to help us with our long distance move and made sure we were on track through the entire process - from showings to closing. She was great to work with and was able to help us find our perfect home!
Thanks, Heidi! It was great working with you. It’s always a lot of fun to have the opportunity to introduce the Iowa City community to newcomers…even more so when they are as enjoyable as you and Michael!
Fantastic experience: Work with Emily Farber for your metro IC real estate needs. It will be the best decision you make. My husband and I reached out to her in a snap after watching one of her You Tube videos. Her video library is a wealth of info for native Iowans and out-of-state transplants like us. To navigate this tight and atypical pandemic market took the guidance of a seasoned professional. Emily knows the neighborhoods and is well informed by her data analyses. Her video tours of properties are exceptional and led to our expedient home purchase. Emily is smart, honest, detailed-minded, and keeps you focused on your objectives with a sense of humor. This is our fifth and hopefully last move working luckily with good realtors across the country. Clearly we saved the best for last. We highly recommend Emily Farber.
Awww...thanks, Robin! I am honored to have been able to assist you and Jim with your big move!
Fantastic experience: Moving to the midwest from the west coast meant we needed a lot of extra help and Emily was always there, often going above and beyond our expectations. She's a true "local expert" with the experience to get the job done and her personal attention to every detail of our transaction was a huge comfort. Her communication was always thorough and timely. After we closed our transaction she continued to be of service with great recommendations of all sorts. We're loving Iowa City & our new home and Emily helped make it all possible!
Thank you, Giovanni! Working with you and Edmer was such a fun process--from getting to know the both of you to helping you explore all that Iowa City had to offer. I am always in awe of the new lives people build for themselves when they move with purpose and vision.
Fantastic experience: We were extremely pleased with the job Emily did for us. She went above and beyond to help us find us a house in our neighborhood of choice during an extremely tight housing market. She was with us every step of the way and was an excellent communicator. She was a pleasure to work with.
Thank you, Jim! I’m so glad we were able to find you a great house in your target neighborhood! The patience and flexibility (and willingness to repeated make the drive to town) of you and Laurie during the search process was a big factor in your success.
Fantastic experience: We had the privilege of working with Emily to buy our dream home in North Liberty 2 years ago. We moved from Michigan for a new job and she was incredible. It was no problem at all to work with her from a distance. When we came for a weekend to look at houses, she had 2 days completely scheduled for us. By the end of that weekend we put in an offer on a home that hadn't even been listed yet because she worked her contacts. She also helped us get a feel for our new area and helped me navigate choosing which schools we wanted for our kids. Imagine our surprise when my husband lost his job at the beginning of the pandemic. It took him 14 months to find a new job which meant we had to sell our dream home and move to a new state. I contacted Emily to help us sell our home and she was amazing again! Within a day she had already come to walk through the house, put together comps, and recommended a list price. The photos and video her team put together were absolutely gorgeous! Within a couple of weeks of that first contact, we listed our home, received multiple offers, and were under contract. I can't recommend her services enough.
Thank you, Sarah! While I'm sorry your family wasn't able to stay in North Liberty and you had to leave such a beautiful home I am SO HAPPY we were able to get it sold quickly and smoothly. Thank you for trusting me to help you through the process.
Fantastic experience: Emily made moving from out of the region to Iowa City an easy and exciting process. Not only did she help us find and secure our dream home in Iowa City, but she helped us become part of the community. She helped us discover the different neighborhoods, learn about the schools, and even helped with finding a short-term rental during our transition. When it came to the house, she showed us many options and was able to get us into one that met all of what we wanted. Then, she walked us through every step of the buying process and made it as easy as possible. We recommend Emily to everyone who is searching for their next home or looking to sell. We will certainly go to her if/when we sell this house and look for the next one.
Thank you, Austin! I am tickled pink we found you such a beautiful and charming house! The real estate market this spring has not been an easy one for buyers, but you and Mariah handled it like champs and recognized the opportunity when it presented itself.
Fantastic experience: We worked with Emily to find a home for our relocation to Iowa City and could not be happier with our experience! Since we were unable to be on location, Emily facilitated digital visits to the properties we were interested in. She helped us get to know the city and neighborhoods remotely and was able to help us figure out what area and homes made sense for our family. Emily's most amazing skill was her ability to interpret our ramblings and comments about various houses to help us identify what we *really* wanted in a home. We highly recommend her to everyone but think she is especially talented in helping people who aren't familiar with the city, first time buyers, and people who aren't 100% what they are looking for.
Buying a house from afar is not for the faint of heart, but you two trusted the process and ended up with such a sweet home! I am excited for you to settle into Iowa City and begin your experience with home ownership. Thank you for allowing me to help you along the way!
Fantastic experience: Emily is awesome! My spouse and I moved from out of state and found Emily via her YouTube channel. We found our beautiful home after visiting Iowa City and touring several houses during just one weekend. Emily is incredibly knowledgeable about neighborhoods, builders, and Iowa City real estate market trends. It’s a hot market and it’s been a while since we’ve bought a house. Emily expertly guided us through the process, ultimately finding us our dream home. Can’t thank her enough; she’s the realtor everybody wishes they had in their corner when buying a home!
Thank you, Chris! You right, I do love introducing people to the Iowa City area and helping them find the right place for their next home. The house you chose is absolutely beautiful. It will be interesting to watch Tiffin grow up around you!
Fantastic experience: Emily makes things happen. She is very easy to work with and honest in her dealings.
Thank you, Ed! I appreciate clients like you you who are so easy to work with. I hope you enjoy the summer making new neighborhood friends and making your house your own!
Fantastic experience: We found Emily through her amazing you tube videos. She was a huge help in finding a house while we were still living out of state. Emily is thoughtful, thorough, and handles every aspect of the home-buying process expertly. I recommend her highly!
Thank you so much, Andrea! Making a long distance move can be stressful, but you guys handled all the ins and outs like champs! I appreciate the review.
Fantastic experience: I can’t thank Emily enough for her hard work finding my husband and me the perfect home. From the first day we started working with her, she listened to our needs, wants and budget, and then immediately started showing us several homes that fit our specifications. As we continued to look, Emily really got to know us better and was quick to send us info about homes in our target neighborhoods as they became available. It took us a few months to find the perfect home (and our budget changed during the process, which complicated the search). To Emily’s credit - she was patient and stayed consistent in helping us continue to look and ultimately find a wonderful house! I would recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home. It is so clear that real estate is her passion, from her dedication to us,as clients, and her helpful YouTube videos - she is wonderful!
Thank YOU, Jen and Dan, for allowing me to assist you in your home purchase. Real Estate is ALWAYS interesting and I'm so happy you two found a lovely place to call home and make your own.
Fantastic experience: Emily was an excellent realtor for us as first-time homebuyers! She did a great job helping us navigate the entire process from finding the right home to closing. She also made sure we felt comfortable the whole time, even during a pandemic! She was incredibly patient with us while we looked at a lot of different properties, and we never felt pressured to settle for anything we didn’t love. She is a genuinely nice person who cares about her clients and wants to see them happy. We would recommend Emily to anyone looking for a home in the greater Iowa City area!
Oh wow! I’m flattered, Joey. Thank you for the wonderful review.
Fantastic experience: Emily was very responsive, quick, and professional. She was able to show us the homes we were interested in pretty much immediately and had some great insights! Her quickness and negotiation skills allowed us to snag the house of our dreams in the competitive Iowa City market! Thanks Emily!
Thanks, Tiffany! I'm tickled pink we were able to get you such a perfect house for your family's wants and needs!
Fantastic experience: It was a great experience working with Emily. She made the buying process simple. She is knowledgeable, flexible and is always follow up on the questions and deadline. Emily provided comparative market analysis that helps prevent us from overbidding on the purchase offer. Highly recommended.
Thank you! I work hard to give my clients a realistic view of the market, and how to be competitive...but not overpay!
Fantastic experience: We sent a blind e-mail to Lepic-Kroeger; Emily Farber was the first Realtor to respond. We hit the jackpot when we began working with Emily; she noted our desired options in a new home. Originally we searched online ourselves for a stand-alone home, but after we didn't see any matching our needs we reached out to Emily. Emily showed us four condos, three did not meet our expectations. However, the fourth was what we were searching for. Since we were from out of town Emily helped us find home inspectors, contractors for painting, carpet, electrical and plumbing issues. We highly recommend Emily Farber for your real estate needs.
Thank you for the thoughtful review, Lee! Working with you and Vicki was a pleasure. I’m so happy we were able to a new home to suit your needs, and I can’t wait until the big “reveal” when it’s all spiffed up with new paint and carpet!
Fantastic experience: Emily is a constant professional who always goes way above and beyond for her clients to ensure they have every need met! She is with you from start to finish and beyond when the transaction is long over. If you are looking for a realtor Emily is your girl is the expert in Iowa!
Thank you, RebelAnn! I’m flattered.
Fantastic experience: My wife and I couldn't be happier that we found Emily. She really is the best agent anyone could ever ask for. She's incredibly knowledgeable of the area. She knows exactly what price you should pay. And she's always available for showings. Top notch all around!! Highly recommend!!
Thank you, Mike! I am thrilled we found your new home. It couldn’t be more perfect!
Fantastic experience: Very helpful, knowledgeable, and thorough. Very patient with the long time it took to find the right property for my mother. Highly recommend.
Thanks so much the opportunity to help you find the right place for your mother, Jill. It's a great place, and I hope she gets great use out of that screen porch!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic realtor, very patient and timely with responding to questions. Has a good youtube channel explaning the homebuying process. Thanks so much Emily.
Thank you, Jared! It was a pleasure helping you. Cheers to homeownership! You did it!
