"My family has known Ryan Gehling for over 15 years as a trusted real estate professional who over the course of time became a family friend. Initially Ryan helped my parents purchase their Ames home. They were so impressed with Ryan's knowledge, integrity and attention to detail, it was never a question of who would be the realtor when it was decided to sell their home. The family even found Ryan's original business card amongst confidential files for the future sale! In the Fall of 2022, I experienced Ryan's comprehensive knowledge of the rapidly changing Ames housing market, his long lasting connections to people and resources and his personal attention to staging the home. Ryan was confident the home would sell at his recommended price AND it did!! Thank you, Ryan for your many, many communications, infectious energy level and confidence. You and Gale are true role models for the industry! Sincerely, Linda Yager Richards "

"I selected Gale and Ryan to sell my house and they were great to work with. They have vast knowledge of the Ames market and presented accurate information throughout the entire process. They were receptive to all of my questions and provided quick responses. Gale followed up with me on every showing to get as much feedback as possible. I was in the process of moving out of state, and they helped make the closing smooth and efficient. I was pleased with the entire process and highly recommend Gale and Ryan."

"I live in VT, but was looking for a house in Ames, IA for my son to live in when he attends ISU. I wasn't sure what to expect when looking for a house without being able to be there in person. Gale was the BEST! Soooo helpful in all ways. She arranged virtual showings for me, answered all my questions, gave advice on pricing and process, and was just extremely responsive. She also helped arrange all the various people who were involved in the process: inspectors, radon mitigation people, electrical and plumbing contractors, utilities, mortgage preapproval people, and even a couple college students to help me move furniture. She helped find the PERFECT house and made the process very easy and very smooth! She's also been a god-send after the sale to check up on things and coordinate various things. I couldn't be happier with her services and would recommend her very highly! Love her!"

"We had the best experience buying and selling our home with Gale and Ryan. They brought incredible knowledge and experience to the table that served us well throughout the process. They gladly took care of every little detail and made our transition to a new house with a tight deadline so smooth despite the challenges we were faced with. We would definitely recommend them to anyone, truly the best around. "

"When we decided it was time to sell our rentals, it was never a question of who we were calling to get the job done. Ryan and Gale have worked with our family for years, and they have never disappointed us in working hard to ensure all the steps are completed and we will have the best possible outcome. We are so grateful to have their integrity, openness, and dedication working on our side. It's easy to see that it carries over in all they do. Our property was not typical property. We knew it would be a challenge to find the right buyer, and they did it within a couple of months. We could have not known or expected this nor the smoothness of the transaction. Thank you to Gale and Ryan for getting this accomplished. If you want it done right, go with them."

"Gale and Ryan were amazing to work with! They helped sell a house for us 16 years ago and it was such a good experience, I contacted them again recently to sell another house and to help me find a new home. They know the market and are very open and honest about the process and what to expect. Would highly recommend them to help you sell your home or find a new home that fits what you need."

  -Donna Matulac, Client

"In the fall of 2023, I hired Gale and Ryan to sell my parents condo. My parents are elderly ( in their 90’s), so I was the primary contact between them and the realtors. I was so impressed with the communication! Any information or updates I asked for was immediately answered through email, text or a phone call. The kindness, respect and help they showed my parents was very much appreciated. Gale and Ryan are professional, knowledgeable and truly exceptional realtors. I’m grateful they were my parents realtors and in the future I will hire them to sell my house."

  -Diana, Client

"Communicative, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional are a couple descriptors of Ryan Gehling and his team. He made every effort to smooth out any bumps in the road to make my Ames home purchase as stress free as possible. I would not hesitate to recommend or use the Gehling team again."

  -Nick Rogowski, Client

"Recently made a long distance move and Ryan was absolutely the most proactive, honest, and straightforward realtor I’ve ever dealt with. He was extremely helpful in our search for a new home. He was attentive during the offer process, helped us deal with some unexpected issues and was quick to follow up after the purchase. Our relocation would not have gone as good without him involved. Highly recommend Ryan and Gale Gehling if you have any need for a realtor in the Ames area of central Iowa. "

  -Todd Brunink, Client

They answered all my questions and made the entire process stress-free. Excellent and reliable realtors."
