Fantastic experience: I HIGHLY recommend working with Next Generation Realty. We recently sold our home and purchased a new one. We worked with Rob Doheny and he was amazing to work with. I truly felt that he had our best interests for our family at heart. He was very honest, responsive and professional from start to finish. Plus we saved thousands of dollars working with Next Generation so that was a huge plus. Thanks for everything Next Generation! :)
Fantastic experience: Patrick was awesome the whole process, and it was a long process. He was great with communication and always available whatever time of day we needed him. I would highly recommend this company to save you thousands from the overpriced realtors out there. They saved me around $40k vs if I went with a realtor. Use them! They do an excellent job.
Fantastic experience: Patrick was amazing to work with. He had so much patience for us in the process and very informative with all of my questions. Highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Rob Doheny did an Excellent job helping us sell my dads house. He was very communicative and kept us in the loop every step of the way. i would definitely recommend him and Next Generation
Fantastic experience: Rob at Next Generation Realty recently sold my home and he is an expert in his field to say the least! Incredibly knowledgeable, not only of general real estate, but the local market! He is honest, responds quickly, detail oriented and extremely technology savvy. He was responsive to my questions, calmed my seller nerves, and had great advice. I am incredibly grateful that I chose Rob and the Next Generation Realty team to list my home. I would highly recommend to save you thousands!
Fantastic experience: I used patrick for multiple deals and he has been amazing.
Fantastic experience: We have sold three homes through Next Generation and each experience has been beyond excellent. This time around the buyer took a bit longer than expected but Rob was always with us every step of the way, could not ask for a better experience,
Fantastic experience: Wonderful folks to deal with. Brook is a plus. Good people.
Negative experience: Google really needs to add an option for ZERO stars! Absolute worst experience buying and selling our houses with this Absolute JOKE of a real estate company! Patrick Doheny was the laziest, most dishonest realtor I have ever seen. Gave the most vague answers to questions, if he even answered our questions without just saying "we are not allowed to make any comments or answer questions that could possibly sway your decision in buying/ not buying the property" over and over throughout the entire process no matter how many new properties we looked at, same response to all our questions. He made absolutely no effort whatsoever to sell our old property. Was absolutely no help at all during the negotiations on the new property, wouldnt even offer suggestions of things to ask for or offer up things other ppl have done in the past, nothing. We were listed on the market for over 11 months!? In Des Moines Beaverdale neighborhood!? Do NOT fall for their gimmicks!!! If your property isn't enough commission for them, you will get subpar effort! They only care about the rich ppl of IA and their 500k properties or higher!
Fantastic experience: Had excellent working relationship with Next Gen realty & Patrick in particular. He was responsive, professional & easy to deal with. The sale process was remarkably smooth & quick. And Mr Doheny fulfilled all his commitments - well pleased with the experience.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, James! We're thrilled to hear that you had an excellent working relationship with our team, particularly with Patrick. We pride ourselves on being responsive, professional, and easy to deal with, so it's great to know that we were able to exceed your expectations. We're also pleased to hear that the sale process was smooth and quick, and that Mr. Doheny fulfilled all of his commitments. Thank you for choosing Next Generation Realty - we appreciate your business and hope to work with you again in the future!
Negative experience: We used Brook as a dual agent when we bought our new home. She was honest upfront with negotiations and played fair but her communication was poor and she made us wait an hour at closing to receive the keys to our new home.
Fantastic experience: Rob Doheny was a huge help in getting my townhouse sold. He advised on the price and we sold at full ask within 24 hours. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Melinda! We are delighted to hear that Rob was able to help you get your townhouse sold quickly and at full ask. We strive to provide excellent customer service and it's always rewarding to hear that our efforts have been successful. We appreciate your 5-star rating and look forward to assisting you in the future.
Fantastic experience: So glad I found these guys. Not only was everything smooth, rob took care of everything. Highly recommend next generation compared to anybody else
Fantastic experience: Rob Doheny was very professional. And he went out of his way to be extremely helpful
Fantastic experience: Brook Doheny was amazing to work with! She fights hard for her clients and is so knowledgeable. When buying/selling you need someone who you can trust, Brook was always in our corner. We couldn’t have done it without her!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Madison! We are so glad to hear that Brook was able to provide you with the service and support you needed during your buying/selling experience. We are thrilled that you had such a positive experience and that Brook was there to help you every step of the way. We appreciate your kind words and your 5.0 rating!
Fantastic experience: Rob is great, we had a tight timeline 45 day close or we would have to get a bridge loan which would have cost us thousands. Not only did we get multiple offers in the first week we actually got what we were asking for our house which exceeded our expectations. He was there guiding us through the closing process which made it easy. We haven’t moved in 22 years, he did the same thing with our other house, saving us money on both, I won’t use anyone else to sell my house.
Positive experience: Rob Doheny of Next Generation Realty got my home on the market and sold in less than 2 months. The pictures he took and placed on the website showed off my home at its best. Rob took care of all the paperwork and thoroughly explained any questions I had regarding taxes, deeds and what would happen regarding the sale.
Fantastic experience: Seriously couldn't have had a better experience selling our home with Brooke Doheny! She is beyond knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond throughout the selling & buying process. She is very responsive to messages, and made a know to be stressful process, stress free! I highly recommend using Brooke for all of your home buying/selling needs! You won't be disappointed.
Fantastic experience: Great communication! Sale was quick and easy! Brook was amazing to work with! She was prompt and to the point!
Negative experience: **edit based on response: I'm a first-time homebuyer with little experience or knowledge in the real estate world, and this review is based on that background. Thanks for proving my second point, though. Brook is great in person. She's personable and intense in a way that makes it seem like she gets stuff done. She was also late or didn't show up at all to every meeting we had planned, was hard to get in touch with, and lacked follow-through on things. I was a first-time homebuyer and was looking for more guidance than I received in any of the process. I'm hesitant to even leave a review given the response other reviews have received, but hopefully this helps someone else. Not the realtor you need as a first-time homebuyer.
Connor Delaney right? So you are literally an agent that wrote an offer for your client and didn’t get paid. You were Not a first ti e home buyer bud.
Negative experience: Very unresponsive and difficult to get ahold of.
Positive experience: Our listing agent suggested we list our home for less than we thought our house was worth. He allowed us to list at our higher price and we received an offer within days for above asking.
Fantastic experience: Hands down best place to go if your looking to purchase a home I bought and sold my house through them when I sold my house I got alot more money than I thought I would out of it and when I was looking for a new home I got everything I wanted plus some!! I will definitely be using again in the future!!
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about my experience with every member of this team. Brook sold a very hard to sell lake property of mine. She was professional, knowledgeable and diligent . I saved over 20,000 ! I will always use this realty in all future transactions,
Negative experience: I have had a horrible experience purchasing from Brook and I am now seeking litigation. I recommend you stay away from Brook and Next Generation Realty. Breech of contract. I would love to know who signed this Brook? She hasn't been truthful about several things about this home.
Scott, this is Brook Doheny. Your realtor showed you this property in November of 2021. We are now in January of 2022 you had months to put an offer in on the "House of your Dreams." The market is at a record pace and unfortunately people lose out on houses when they rely on less-than- superior realtors to acquire a properties. You also have to take ownership of your own actions; you lost a property a lot of people have in this market. I apologize it didn't work out, but I sell houses, it's what i do and unfortunately for some buyers, my success is at their detriment. Try to have a Happy New Year and better luck next time.
Fantastic experience: What a great weekend, two months ago I decided to sale my house that I owned for 13 years, I figured I could do it on my own so I tried to sell it myself. I am a salesman and business owner so why can't i sell my house I know what I did to it to make it better. Well I sold it in 3 weeks I was super happy wow look at me. Then at closing I had the wrong law firm representing me, they dropped the ball didn't get the paper work done that needed to be done. So my buyer was worried it was falling apart because they needed to move in on friday, they have no where else to live, so as a nice person I am I told them go ahead and move in on friday, we will figure it out next week. I thought we were moving forward until I got an email from the buyer saying they found another home that they may make an offer on. As soon as I got that I then realized my lawyer didn't have the best interest for me, and that the buyer didn't have the best interest either so who has the best interest for me. NO ONE!!!! Thats when I found Brook Noel Doheny from next generation reality, I am so happy I found her. She found out what happen to me, she was like this is what I am here for. I am here for the buyer make sure they get what they want or need have their best interest. This was awesome to hear that she actually cared for me. This all happen last Thursday June 3rd the deal fell through, I called Brook Noel Doheny by Friday June 4th my house was back on the market. BAM!!!! On Sunday June 6th, I was on Saylorville lake doing a boat tour from Party on the Lake LLC #boneislandadventures I get a text from Brook to call her asap we have an offer, HOLY COW already. It was for asking price so I took it stupid not too. Get this I sold it at a lower price remember the one that fell through she sold it for more which means I made more money on this deal. Moral of this story is to use a realtor they are professional for a reason. I suggest you use Brook Noel Doheny as your realtor its a flat fee the money I save by hiring her is $10,000 yes you read that right $10,000. Thats how much more I made on her deal then me doing it but the fee for 7% plus all the other fees they tack on I made a lot. It took right about 48 hours for her to sell with the market the way it is if you are kind of thinking to sell do it and Hire Brook Noel Doheny with next generation realty. When you do hire her, tell her Brenna Young or Captain Young from Party on the Lake told you to go with her.
Fantastic experience: Brook was really helpful! Through the entire process, I truly felt like she had my best interest. Thanks for helping us get our dream home!
Fantastic experience: Our experience with Next Generation Realty was top notch. The process of selling our home went so smoothly from beginning to end. Working with Rob was a pleasure, he is very personable, knowledgeable and professional. The home sold for the price we were looking for, and we saved money in the process while receiving the highest level of service. Truly an excellent value and experience, and we highly recommend Next Generation!
Fantastic experience: Words can not express the gratitude I have for Brook and her dedication to selling my house. I had a job in Estes Park and had my house on the market to move there last May. Then COVID hit and the job was eliminated. I work in healthcare so my life has been a whirlwind ever since. Brook spent endless hours on the phone, texting at anytime, open houses, showings and was so patient with my endless questions. She also made the paperwork and other details so easy. She spent so much time and effort making sure I was represented well and got the most out of my house. I lived there for 27 years and thanks to Brook, I am now free to pursue my dreams of going to Colorado or Africa or wherever my next adventure should take me. Again, I can not thank her enough or praise her professionalism and dedication to her clients. She is truly the best.
Fantastic experience: We had a great time working with Brook. She was knowledgeable and saved us a ton of money! Definitely recommend using her for your next sale!
Fantastic experience: Rob did an excellent job with selling our home. He took care of everything and we thought he did a great job. This is the 2nd home, we have sold through him and he has done an incredible job on both of them.
Fantastic experience: I have sold 3 homes through Next Generation and saved a nice chunk of money. They are extremely helpful and professional.
Fantastic experience: Rob was great to work with, he was responsive in all our questions, concerns and gave us the support that was needed. The savings was a huge plus..... we actually enjoyed doing the open houses ourselves, giving all the details on the place we sold. Giving all the paperwork for Rob to complete with out a hitch. Total recommendations to Next Generation Reality.... Thank you
Fantastic experience: Brook was very knowledgeable when she saw the house the first time and had a good idea of where to price it. She worked with the buying agents and kept the stress from selling away from me.
Fantastic experience: We are so fortunate to have a Brook as my seller agent.she is very confident and is absolutely wonderful to work with. It’s like having a friend on the “inside” that is working for you. We got an offer with in a weeks and proves selling a house is very easy process.She helped through out process and given helping hand after we moved out of state. Very genuine and excellent negotiator with a very personalized touch. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Brooke was great she had our house sold fast and went really smooth highly recommend her...
Fantastic experience: Patrick was beyond incredible. He made buying our home very easy on us. With us working full time jobs, he worked around our schedule to answer any questions and to meet up in person. I can’t recommend Patrick and Next Generation Realty enough!
Fantastic experience: I have nothing but good things to say about my agent Brook and Next Generation Realty. The entire process from start to finish was explained then executed making the whole experience stress free. This was my first time using a flat free broker and wouldn't sell a house any other way. So easy. Sold my house in less than two weeks and saved me over $12,000 and met some great people along the way. Thanks Brook.
Fantastic experience: Brook helped us buy and sell a home on a very tight timeline while saving us thousands in commission. Flat fee is the future of the industry!
Fantastic experience: We really enjoy working with Brooke. The flat fee is super helpful and she was great to work with!
Fantastic experience: Great experiences! Have worked with Next Generation a couple times, great customer service with knowledge agents and timely responses.
Fantastic experience: We had tried FSBO for a few months but didn't have any luck. We decided to go with Next Generation Realty because of their flat fee listing. After we met with Brook, she had our listing up quickly and was showing the house the same day it was posted online. When we received an offer on the house, she was able to get us a better price than we expected. Communication was difficult at times, but Brook provided us with all of the important information we needed to close on our home. She even took the time to deliver the closing check to our home. We appreciated Brook's go-getter type personality in getting our house sold.
Fantastic experience: Brook was such a blessing during my house buying process. She was efficient, resourceful and very knowledgeable about the market. We ran into various issues that she worked through and her communication was excellent. Would highly recommend her!
Fantastic experience: Brook and the whole team are absolutely outstanding. The flat fee is the simplest and easiest way to sell a home and we are so glad we went with Next Generation Realty. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: It was such a pleasure working with Brook who seemed to have all the answers to our MANY questions. I highly recommend her and her team who made our experience so easy and painless. Thank you Brook!
Fantastic experience: I had Brook Doheny as my agent and couldn’t have had a better experience selling my house! She had great communication through out and worked nights and weekends to get the job done. I would recommend Brook to anyone trying to sell their house!
Fantastic experience: Brooke was professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. She sold my house the first weekend it was listed. This was my second great experience with Next Generation. For any future home needs Brooke will be my first call.
Fantastic experience: Brook and Rob Doheny helped me sell my home in less than 45 days during the worst winter of snow storm after snow storm. Though their marketing they found an all cash quick close buyer so I could make my FL dream come true! And, saved me over $11K in commissions. Couldn’t have asked for better service! Thank you Next Generation Realty! Wish you were in FL, too!
Negative experience: Horrible. Don’t do it. This self proclaimed Brooke Dohney, the best, #1 agent, is a liar. Terrible communication, no planning and false accusations. She will take the time to post false information on social media rather than spend the time trying to sell your home. Horrible ethics, she and the agency should be ashamed.
Brook here, your ‘ buyer’ is literally on my reserved list. I gave them Jens number what is the point of this? Congratulations on paying 20k for my work BAM you did it!
Fantastic experience: Brooke was absolutely amazing!! She helped us out with every single detail. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER and NGR. Great Company! Even a greater person Thank you for everything I appreciate you so much!
Fantastic experience: Brooke is nothing but a professional. She sold 2 houses for us and sold friends and neighbors homes also. She currently is helping us with our latest home purchase. She's nothing but a go getter and will fight to sell or buy for you. When it comes to buying she takes everything from your wish list and makes it a reality, and selling your house is just as easy. Your in good hands with her. Nothing but the best!
Fantastic experience: About to down size and they are going above and beyond to help us with the perfect place !! Thanks guys !!
Negative experience: These reviews are FAKE!!! trust me! I know first hand what this place is like. They will take advantage of you if you are disabled, wont let you out a contract, and they are NOT part of any Realtors Association. You will not be on the MLS. Do your research! Please.
Negative experience: Quite a few hidden fees that were not mentioned and then a major price charge that the realtor laughed about when we pointed it out. She did fix it- but I don’t see what is funny about a thousand dollar mistake when you are selling your home.
Fantastic experience: We listed through Next Generation Realty and sold our house in 7 days. Autum Dooley was our realtor and we were so impressed. Autum responded quickly to all of our questions and got things going for us as fast as we were willing and ready to go. We wouldn't hesitate to call her again if we needed a realtor.
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to work with. Everything was handled in a very timely and professional manner. Everyone at Next Generation is extremely knowledgeable, and you can tell they genuinely care about their clients. Would recommend 10/10 times. Thanks Rob!
Fantastic experience: Rob sold my house in 2 weeks after it sat on the market for 3 months with a traditional real estate company for the same price. And it saved me money! Gotta love it! They are the best.
Fantastic experience: Amazing people, great service, very knowledgable about homes in todays market. 10/10 would recommend.
