JJ Johannes was an excellent realtor who made the process of selling our home go smoothly after we moved out of state.

His video recording of the comparative market analysis was very helpful as we could re-watch parts of it when we had questions. He also discovered discrepancies between our condo's previous square footage sales listings and the actual square footage of our condo as listed on the assessor's website which allowed us to set a higher asking price and showed us that he had thoroughly researched our property. He was professional, punctual and communicated very well. We would highly recommend him to anyone selling property in Cedar Rapids!

We lived in another community an hour away where we wanted to relocate.

JJ sent us targeted alerts when properties came on the market, and previewed some of them for us when we couldn’t come ourselves. His knowledge of builders and their strengths was very detailed. He handled the negotiations and the closing on our property very professionally, and with very little stress on our part. We recommend him very highly as a real estate professional one can trust.

JJ was extremely knowledgable concerning the realty market in the Cedar Rapids/Marion area.

He answered our questions in a timely fashion and always kept us up to date and involved in the negotiations. He was very pleasant and never made us feel that we were being an imposition when showing us property and took the time to talk with us and explain the positive and negative of each property. We had complete confidence in him as we were moving here from out of town. We would highly recommend him as their realtor as he made the process go smoothly for us.

JJ was a pleasure to work with.

He is extremely knowledgeable in the real estate business. He was able to not only sell our house the day it it the market, but also get us multiple offers. His expertise is tremendous. We would highly recommend JJ to anyone looking to buy or sell property.

When lending changes came up mid-process, JJ stayed calm and worked through it without making us feel like things were falling apart.

That honestly said everything about how he operates. He kept us informed, was straight with us the whole time, and we walked away with a home we love at 933 Long Drive Solon. I'd recommend JJ without hesitation.

We ended up with the house at 1622 Para Dr Marion, which as first-timers felt like it could've gone sideways fast in this market.

JJ walked us through every step that comes with buying a home and answered all our questions. He kept it steady, always reachable, always straight with us, and I'd send anyone his way without hesitation.

I found m place at 231 Highland Dr NW, which genuinely felt hard to picture happening given how little was out there.

JJ was honest with me the whole time, patient, and always easy to reach. I'd recommend him without hesitation.

Selling a gutted property felt like it could've been a real headache, but it honestly wasn't.

JJ came in with a clear strategy to build interest fast, and it worked exactly the way he said it would. What I appreciated most was how straight he was with us the whole time, no sugarcoating, just honest advice and real local knowledge. He handled everything and kept pricing straightforward when that could've easily been the stressful part. I'd send anyone I know to JJ without a second thought.

When we were up against other offers on Sharon Lane, JJ had a real strategy, not just optimism, and it worked.

Calm, honest, and genuinely knew the market. I'd recommend him without hesitation.

We got the house we actually wanted at 6016 Sharon Lane NW, which felt like a long shot in this market as first-time buyers.

JJ kept us informed and honest the whole time, and I'd recommend him without hesitation.

JJ was the first agent to reach out to us and so happy he did.

Selling and buying at the same time felt overwhelming, but he handled everything and kept us informed at every step. His communication was incredible and he really fought to get us a great price. I'd definitely work with JJ again.

I'd recommend JJ to anyone looking for a condo.

We were worried about finding the right place at the right price, but JJ's communication and honesty made everything simple. He was so patient with us and really went the extra mile. The whole process was smooth and stress-free.

Jean K. · Jun 2026
We got our house sold quickly and at a great price after JJ helped us move from FSBO to the MLS.

The whole thing was straightforward and I'd definitely recommend working with him.

Tammy M. · Jun 2026
Moving from out of state had us worried, but JJ's local expertise put us at ease immediately.

He knew everything about the Eastern Iowa market and answered every question we had about our new neighborhood. The whole process was incredibly smooth and he handled all the details while keeping us informed. Would definitely recommend JJ to anyone looking in the area.

When I had questions about putting in an offer on 100 Copeland Ln, JJ walked me through everything without making me feel rushed.

He really knows this market and was always straight with me about what to expect. I could text or call him whenever and he'd get back to me quick with honest advice that made sense. The whole thing ended up being way easier than I thought it would be, and I'll always use JJ.
