We've used Heather to purchase 2 homes now, and at least 3 of our friends/family have as well. If you want someone who makes homebuying feel like fitting a square peg in a round hole, by all means use your cousin's friend who just started selling homes last week. If you want someone who knows what they are doing, will tell you the truth, will get you the best price, and who is still in your corner even after you've moved in (seriously), call Heather Wright at Heather Wright & Associates.

We loved working with Moco Todd and her team, Heather Wright & Associates! What initially attracted us so much was their follow up and attention to detail; the process felt easy and seamless! Moco did an amazing job organizing, keeping us up to date on our next steps, and just being overall a great advocate for us and our needs!

Heather helped us sell our first house and it went as smoothly as we could have hoped for. Very responsive and answers any and all questions quickly (and I had a lot of them being our first time selling). She and her team at Heather Wright & Associates handled every aspect of the sale and let us know of anything we needed to do. She helped us buy the same house about 9 years earlier so we didn't hesitate to contact her this time.

Heather came highly recommended to us by a co-worker who had nothing but great things to say about her! After working with her to buy our home, we cannot recommend her highly enough to others looking to buy! As first-time home buyers, what stood out in our first interaction with her was how thoroughly she went through the buying process, making sure we would know what to expect in the future. This definitely put us at ease. During the process, Heather was always quick to respond to questions and highlight important things to consider with individual properties and situations. She was also very helpful in the walkthrough of our new construction to make sure we didn't miss any needed touchups. The fact that she has a team behind her was also helpful and allowed our offer on our eventual home to get completed quicker. We 100% recommend that others in the Des Moines area work with Heather and her team, Heather Wright & Associates, to buy their next house!

We cannot speak highly enough of Moco and our experience with her as our real estate agent. We chose Moco for the process of selling and purchasing our new home because her professionalism, knowledge, honesty, and positivity is unmatched. It was important to us that she made us feel comfortable and stress free throughout the entire process. She walked us through every step of the way and she went above and beyond and remembered small details about our lives. We cannot imagine having used anyone else and would recommend Moco of Heather Wright & Associates to anyone!

My Experience with Moco Todd of Heather Wright & Associates was wonderful and fun, the house buying process was made easy thanks to her. My fiance and I needed to find a house to move into before our wedding in a couple of months, and we were able to close on a new house and move in with plenty of time to spare.

Mrs Moco of Heather Wright & Associates was my primary agent, and she is incredibly knowledgeable and responsive when it comes to my issues. If I ever need anything it never takes more than a minute before she responds.

Moco Todd of Heather Wright & Associates was instrumental in our move from Cape Cod to Des Moines. The real estate market was very hot and her efforts gave us confidence in buying our house through virtual tours and phone meetings.

Moco was a wonderful agent! She was very knowledgeable and thorough. My mom was looking for a new home and Moco was so helpful. She was able to gather all the information we were wanting in a home and set us up with multiple options to choose from. She was very patient and flexible. We were able to get ahold of her all the time and even on the weekends, which was amazing! We appreciated her being an advocate for mom and always finding an answer promptly when needed. We would definitely recommend Moco of Heather Wright & Associates to anyone searching for their dream home!

The best part about working with Heather is that she's not trying to push you into buying. She's the first one to point out a homes' flaws and make sure it has all the features you are looking for. It's easy to get distracted by a house with great curb appeal, but does it have that amazing backyard you said you wanted? It's also easy to become house hunting fatigued and make irrigational decisions. Heather helps you stay focused, have fun, and fights hard for you. After buying 2 homes with Heather Wright of Heather Wright & Associates and selling one, I would never consider working with someone else and have referred several friends to her. She's the bomb.

Moco is nothing short of amazing! We were moving from out of state and had to find a home in 3 days, so we reached out to several realtors. Heather Wright and Associates were one of the realty groups that responded to our enquiry and put us in contact with Moco. Moco said she would set aside the entirety of 3 days to make sure we would find the home that fit our family. From the first phone call, her communication was outstanding. Once we arrived in Iowa, she had a schedule set for us, she did everything she could to get us into out priority homes, and she was very flexible to modify plans at the last minute for any schedule changes we wanted to make. Moco was very kind, friendly, fun to work with, and had amazing knowledge of the area. Moco was very efficient and fast when it came to any and all documentation needed from our first offer to closing. She took care of absolutely everything and made our home buying experience enjoyable. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home in the Des Moines area. We will definitely be using Moco if we ever need to use a realtor again.

A friend/coworker of mine recommended Moco to my husband and I as we were ready to purchase our first home. As first time home-buyers, we wanted someone who had experience/expertise in both the home-buying process and the benefits we get for loans/mortgage as first timers. The market right now is CRAZY for people trying to buy a home and as soon as we got preapproved for a loan - we were on a roll. We found a home we LOVED within two days and put an offer in within three. Moco prepared us for every aspect of the home-buying process, especially with the abnormal loan we got. She was a great negotiator, quick responder to all our texts, calls, and questions, and had resources/referrals for every service we needed done. She was patient, kind, professional, personal, and just an overall great realtor to work with. I'm recommending Moco Todd at Heather Wright & Associates to all of my friends/family looking to purchase their first home and when the time comes for us to move on from this home, we'll be sure to give her a call to help us into our next.
