Terry has helped our family as both buyers and sellers, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor! Terry is the best of the best, without a doubt. He is the person you want on your side! He goes above and beyond every step of the way, consistently helping us navigate the process and explaining everything along the way. He takes the time to make sure you truly understand what’s happening, listens to what you want and need, and communicates with us along every step of the way. There aren’t enough words to express how thankful and grateful we are to Terry for everything he has done for our family. We would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I met Terry nearly three decades ago. We were part of the opening crew that opened Ameristar Casino, January 1996. We parted ways, taking different career paths, However always staying in touch throughout the years. When I made the decision to file for divorce, knowing I would have to look for a new residence. I immediately contacted Terry to find out the steps needed. I texted Terry to get the details on May 20th at 10:30pm. I asked Terry "What are the requirements for buying a home"? His response was "a lot of money"' Lol. Terry met me that night around 11:30pm. Terry recommended a couple of loan officers to see what my son Josh could qualify for. D.J. Rorebeck with Charter West Bank at this time could not put my name on anything financially, but Joshua could. The search began! The phone calls, texts, and emails started flooding in for a search for a house from Terry. Terry is very Knowledgeable about what to look for when buying a house. Weather it be the structure being solid, electrical, plumbing, and roof. All the important things to look for with buying an older home and the problems that could potentially come up. He helped every step of the way. Finally found a house on August 17th. This is the one! Structurally sound, in our budget and a great fixer upper. Joshua Closed on September 18th, took possession and moved in. The process was stressful, but terry and DJ made is easy and simple as possible. Joshua and I are forever grateful, we couldn't have done it without them.
Terry went above and beyond when he was helping me in my search to purchase a home. With being a first time home buyer, he explained everything to me in a way that was easy to understand and follow. He was always available to answer any questions that I might have had, We ended up looking at multiple listings and Terry was upfront and honest with me about what he felt was good with the home and what could make for major issues down the road.
Me-Driving around the neighborhood garage sales and finds a couch for free. Also Me-I don’t have a way to haul it...Calls my Realtor, Terry O'Toole. “Terry, do you know someone that can haul a couch for me?”He has a guy or gal for absolutely everything. Terry to the rescue!! He came with his son to do it himself. You guys, when I tell you he’s the absolute best, I’m not exaggerating!! Call this guy if you are buying or selling! He goes way above and beyond!!! Just let me know, I’ll hook you up!
Terry was always able to work with us no matter the day or time and was always treating us like family, with respect and up front realism when looking at a home. He sold us our first house 5 years ago. He now sold that house with in the firsts few days and we got an acreage now. We highly recommend him!
Terry is the best realtor I've met on my journey of finding my perfect home. He's honest about what he notices about the houses. There was a house we looked at with rotting siding and we would have never noticed it if he didn't say anything. When we closed on our home he brought us custom cookies when he met us at the closing table. He made this whole experience of buying a home a lot less stressful than it is! This is the realtor you need.
Terry made my home selling process extremely smooth and easy. I was a bit stressed, he listened carefully and explained every step and page of the contract to me patiently. Terry went above and beyond through the entire process and followed through every step immediately with prompt communication. He sold my house the second day listed with four offers. I have already recommended him to several family members and friends. He made a life changing experience much easier and less stressful as well as quick. I definitely recommend Terry for anyone wanting a trustworthy, patient realtor with integrity!
"I have been through the home buying and selling process multiple times in Council Bluffs with various realtors and bankers, all of which were efficient enough to exceptional. But never have I experienced the level of service that Terry provided me in helping my dying brother and his wife from Colorado find and buy a home in CB within days of calling on him. He AND his huge network of experts (legal, financial, etc.) never hesitated helping with whatever was needed at a moments notice. We will be forever grateful for this angel when we needed him. "
When my husband and I were starting to look for acreages in Iowa, we began going to open houses and met Terry O'Toole. We knew immediately he would become our agent as we began our search. He was always accessible and responsive to any properties I found as well as providing me with numerous options. Terry helped us tour quite a few properties and was more than willing to answer our questions and make sure we found just what we were looking for. When the perfect acreage came on the market, we had to move quickly because there were some other interested buyers but Terry quickly closed the deal for us. He continually kept me informed of all the details involved while going through the process and created a seamless experience for my husband and I. When we decided to sell our acreage and move closer to kids, I didn't hesitate contacting Terry to assist us in selling our home and have continually recommended him to others.
At 81 years of age I needed a professional real estate person to help me move from central Texas to Council Bluffs, Iowa. I met Terry O'Toole when I telephoned Np Dodge for help. Terry accepted the long distance challenge and guided my new home search by internet and telephone. When we found my townhouse he solved a semi-complicated legal process of buying. He helped me again. He arranged an experienced paint contractor and cleaners to remove it. On the day I arrived in council Bluffs from Texas Terry was there to officially introduce me to my new home. I had purchased on-line, sight unseen. I love living here. Terry is a thorough, thoughtful real estate agent, and an all-around nice guy!
Terry O’Toole went over and above all standards of professional realtors for our family. We needed to sell the home of my brother who passed away in May. He left his house to his three surviving siblings. Each one lived in a different state. It was a very complicated transaction. Terry designed a closing good for the sellers and buyer where we all signed and then overnighted them to the next signer. He walked each one is us through it on the phone. Terry also helped us with practical things, like removing yard waste when the hired yard company didn’t show up. Through it all he was attentive and good humored . We give him our highest recommendation.
Terry made it a very easy process for me to do what I needed to do. He was informative and explaining things with every step. He sold two properties for me and helped me purchase a property. He listened to my wishes and set about making them happen. He went over and above his normal duties to ensure I got what I wanted in this. He made this a great experience. Thanks, Terry!
Terry did an awesome job reviewing house for me while I was still out of state. Courteous, reliable, and helpful in all aspects of the process. From start to finish. Very knowledgeable in the process.
