We began working with Verne Folkmann when we decided to move our family from California to Iowa this summer. He came highly recommended and now we know why. Verne has been a realtor in the Iowa City area for over 25 years and knowledge is vast. He answered questions we had about neighborhoods, shopping, home prices, traffic etc with ease. Verne answered calls, texts and emails promptly. He told us what vendors to use for remodeling and checked on the house regularly to make sure the work was being done right and on schedule. When we had a problem with one of the vendors, Verne went to bat for us and hung in there over a few months until the vendor made it right. (Verne had not had a problem with that vendor before and is no longer recommending their services.) Bottom Line: Verne went above and beyond for us. He’s a very kind man, extremely easy to work with, and we highly recommend him as well.
