Emily was great to work with. We live a distance away from Iowa City and that in itself makes it hard to find the perfect place to purchase. Emily went above and beyond to meet us anytime we could make the trip to look. We trusted Emily enough to look for us if we couldnt make it, she knew what we were looking for. --Gaurev
I would use Emily again without hesitation, and would recommend her to any of my friends who wanted to buy their first house or their 3rd house. Emily is quick to stand up for her clients, and will not be steam rolled by anyone! --Joey
Emily provided excellent personalized service throughout the entire experience of selling our Iowa City home. She is knowledgeable and easy to work with. She has a go-getter attitude, to help the buyer. She was available anytime for questions for assistance. We have bought and sold many houses and Emily is the best realtor we have worked with. She gets our highest recommendation. --Charles
My husband and I recently had the pleasure with working with Emily Farber, who helped us finalize the sale of our first home last week. We moved out of state before we sold our house and Emily helped us traverse the situation and made what could have been complex, a very smooth process. Before we moved she met with us a couple times, she listened to our thoughts, desires, and concerns, then helped us set goals and realistic expectations. She handled all the things that came up that were difficult for us to manage due to being out of state. From the cleaners not knowing what to do with our key when they finished, to staging the house, to contacting, scheduling, and working with professionals to handle remedy requests. She was fantastic and we would highly recommend working with her! --Theresa and Chad
Emily was incredibly helpful as she assisted us in navigating the home buying process. She provided concise and honest advice and information throughout searching, making an offer, and closing on our new home. We appreciated that she was never "pushy" but always made herself available. The fact that she grew up in Iowa City really helped us to get a feel for what each neighborhood has to offer. I will continue to recommend her services to friends and colleagues without hesitation! --Emily N
Emily was so fantastic to work with. She is very knowledgeable about the real estate business and made this stressful process very enjoyable and as relaxing as possible. Thanks for helping us with our home buying experience!! --Bethany and Sol
Emily Farber is such an amazing realtor. Due to an unfortunate situation with a tenant who didn't pay rent, I needed to sell my home quickly as I wasn't able to pay a mortgage, rent, and grad school bills all at the same time. To make matters worse, my tenants left the house completely filthy and damaged. When Emily learned of my situation, she showed up at my house with cleaning supplies and helped me clean for hours and hours so we could list the property as soon as possible. Not only did I receive an offer within just a few weeks of listing it, but Emily did everything for me from letting in carpet cleaners to finding someone to mow my lawn since I lived several hours away. Emily was a pleasure to work with and she went way above and beyond what she needed to do. I highly recommend her! --Michaela
When we decided to put our house on the market and look for a new home, we knew that choosing the right real estate agent was crucial. We started out by going to some open houses, mostly to meet agents and see if we could find someone experienced and knowledgeable, but also someone we could genuinely like as a person since we knew this was someone we would be spending a lot of time with. It was also important to us that we find someone who wouldn’t shy away from including our energetic little boys in the process, too, since we’d be bringing them along to look at houses. Once we met Emily at an open house she was hosting, we knew we’d found the real estate agent we were looking for. After assessing our home for the market, Emily gave us detailed (and reasonable) advice for preparing our house for listing. Her knowledge of the local market and determination of the proper listing price was spot on. Three minutes after our home was listed we had our first showing request. (And it was booked for showings for most of the day.) We had our first offer that evening, and ended up with three total, including an escalating offer, all before 7 a.m. the next morning. Within 24 hours we had accepted an offer over asking price. Throughout the entire process, we really didn’t have to worry about much of anything beside keeping our house in tip-top-shape. She organized the inspection remedy requests, recommended and scheduled services with business that we were so happy with we’ll be sure to use them should the need arise in the future. She kept us on track and informed every step of the way. Emily also represented us for the purchase of our new home. Her advice proved just as valuable as she guided us through the purchase of a new construction home with knowledge and confidence. She was our tenacious advocate through the entire process and ensured that we were 100% happy with our purchase, going so far as to clean the floors herself! We couldn’t have been happier with either transaction and can’t possibly recommend her highly enough. --Melissa and Andrew
