My husband and I worked with Chris to find our buy our first home. From start to finish, it was a very good experience, which I think is saying a lot since it was during covid and everything in the process was trickier and more challenging. Chris was very professional, knowledgeable, and flexible to our schedule. Touring houses with Chris was great as he brought up and pointed out things we had not considered previously, but still allowed us to lead and explore our interests. When we knew the house we wanted, he worked quickly and aggressively to make sure our offer was completed and sent in, (literally within a couple hours of us choosing the place,) which we were thankful for because we later found out that another couple sent in an offer that same day. Chris was there for every step of the process, from the home inspection to taking our first family picture in front of our new home. He recommended different professionals he knew for financing and other services, and although we didn’t end up using them, just contacting them landed us with a nice gift card. Chris was easy to reach throughout the process and I’m so glad we had someone with his knowledge and skill set leading us through the process. We have been in our home now since March and we love it so much, and we highly recommend Chris for anyone buying or selling.

"I have recommended Kristy to my daughter in law for when they are ready to move
I highly recommend Kristy. If Kristy didn’t have an answer she knew exactly where to go or who to ask for the answer
Kristy kept me informed during the entire process. I knew exactly what to expect each time we got
together. Kristy was always there for me. We visited several properties until I found the one that fit my needs. I would
highly recommend Kristy to anyone wanting to buy or sell their home"

I recently had to list my brothers home in Ankeny, as he passed away unexpectedly. I was not from the area. Matt helped me get through this. He has a great attitude, he was personable and honest. He helped with all the inspections and appointments regarding this sale and gave great tips to get top dollar from the home. So much, that we had 3 offers in one day and got well above list price. I would definitely recommend Matt, and will use him for any future real estate transactions.

We worked with Matt Posusta to sell our existing home and build a custom home. Matt ensured that both the sale of our existing home and the building of our new home went smoothly. What we appreciated most about Matt was his willingness to guide us through the entire home building process. From start to finish, Matt worked diligently to make sure our custom home met our needs, was completed on time, was within our budget, and included all the details needed to make it perfect. Matt was in constant communication with our builder which allowed us to focus our time and attention on choosing the perfect touches to make our new house a home. If we ever have the opportunity to buy, sell, or build another home, it will be with Matt Posusta by our side!

"Kristy made everything really easy. I was looking for an investment property. It took a few months but she
never gave up. Her hustle is unmatched. She ended up finding me 2 properties to invest in. She went above
and beyond by connecting me with inspectors, contractors, and insurance agents. She has my back and I
really appreciate that. I couldn't have done it without her. I will recommend her to my friends and family and I
will use her as my permanent agent for my future purchases."

After finding my dream estate Matt negotiated a price that came in well below appraised value providing instant equity!! Unlike any other realtor I've worked with previously Matt exceeded all of my expectations. He walked me through the entire process by proactively providing regular detailed updates, arrived at the closing table to ensure the documents were prepared accurately, and even showed up to help my family and I move! Within 48 hours of moving into my new home he had my previous residence listed, and I accepted a cash offer on it another 48 hours later, quickly eliminating the fear that I may have to carry double mortgages!! The entire process couldn't have been smoother. I highly recommend Matt and his team of professionals for all your real estate needs!

"We had a difficult time emotionally with selling our 55yr home base. Kristy and Jamie's team behind her
helped us every step of the way and were very patient and helpful. Kristy had our back especially since we
were out of state alot toward the end of the sale. She helped with things that were beyond our expectations
many times! "

I have never had a real estate transaction go as smoothly as the last transaction I had with Matt Posusta. Everything went as planned, no surprises and Matt kept us in the loop with everything through the process of selling and closing our home! Not to mention, the price he recommended for us to list at was spot on; we sold the house in 3 hours, yes hours!

About Weichert, Realtors® - The 515 Agency - Ankeny
A Full Service Real Estate Brokerage and one of the Fastest Growing Brokerages in Central Iowa!In early 2014 Matt Posusta & Ryan Hoover met and started a partnership known as “515 Realtors”. While unsure how they would get there or what exactly it would look like they had the big goal in mind of opening up a Brokerage at some point in the future. Fortunately their journey took them through a couple great brokerages where they met great people, great mentors and helped them to gain a wealth of experience while they worked very hard to deliver results and happy clients! Along the way they were able to establish a great partnership with some like minded business/industry professionals from a different market and together they opened up 515 Real Estate & Insurance in 2018.
515 REI was a 100% independent brokerage; focused on becoming as agent centric as possible. As they were growing the Real Estate business and developing all of the internal processes/procedures/software, etc. they found that they were spending more time doing that than doing what they truly love; helping Agents succeed and helping Clients achieve their Real Estate goals. In 2019 Matt & Ryan discovered Weichert, Realtors® and learned all about the industry leading training, national exposure, systems, resources and marketing that Weichert offered and they decided to acquire an independently owned franchise.
In November, 2019 “Weichert, Realtors® - The 515 Agency” was born!
This new franchise platform allows them to offer agents & clients a level of support that was not currently available in the Central Iowa market. Acquiring the national exposure, industry leading tools/marketing/resources and leverage while remaining a local independently owned brokerage = no brainer for their clients, their agents and their communities!!
