We had the unhappy experience of having our home on the market for over 6 months with another agent when we met and listed our home with Iris. It was a breath of fresh air! Her marketing ability was a step up from anything we had seen locally and we were thrilled when it produced a sale within days. Iris is a staging designer, marketer, writer and negotiator at the highest level all rolled into one. Her years and years of experience and hundreds of home sales really helped in our situation. Iris always knew just what to do and her suggestions were a key factor in the successful closing of our home. She is a joy to work with and her communication with us left nothing to question....we always knew what was happening. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top professional.

I knew Iris sold houses quickly, but I was more than thrilled in our latest transaction when my home sold in just 2 days for $15,000 over our asking price with multiple offers! Yes, I grumbled and had to spend a couple of weekends prepping but boy did Iris’ tips and staging payoff! A house four doors down from mine that had been on the market for some time sold about a week after mine. It sold for less than mine and it was basically the same floor plan only 400 sq ft larger with a family room off the kitchen and a large master bath that we don't have. They needed Iris’ help to reap the rewards of a professional, experienced agent. Thank you Iris! We’ve had 8 transactions thus far and every time your recommendations, negotiation skills and staging of my homes have paid off!

We wanted to commend you for the excellent, through, professional job that you did. In the two years that we had been working on getting our house sold, we came into contact with many realtors and I have to say that you stand high above the competition. Please be assured that should we ever decide to move again that you will be the first phone call we make and we recommend you to everyone we know. You have just acquired two more loyal customers! Thank you Iris!

I have sold homes before with Iris and once again she has pulled off a real miracle. After telling me the house could be difficult to sell (location etc.) and would take time, she did the impossible and unbelievable. A sale in under 10 days! Amazing and very impressive, I knew you were good. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

In short, Iris was more than a real estate agent. She did what friends and family do for each other.

“After being in the real estate and construction business for 22+ years, it’s really nice to find a realtor who thoroughly understands what‘s going on, is efficient and effective, and doesn’t need hand holding."

It is with pleasure and remorse that I highly recommend Iris Bartzen. The remorse because she is leaving us. Iris has been a very successful agent in our company for many years, and I hate to lose her. Her future Arizona clients are in for special treatment. Iris is personable, knowledgeable, caring and possesses keen marketing skills. Her numbers tell the story of her high level of success. Iris’ listings sell within 12 days on average and at 98.92% of list price, and she sells 17.3% of her own listings—-remarkable statistics! I have tried to find a way to clone her, but that has not proven to be an easy task. She is the consummate professional. If Iris ever decides to return to Spokane, she will always have an office with us.

“Having my home on the market for over a year, first with another Realtor and then “For Sale by Owner”, was not a pleasant experience. A friend referred me to Iris and Iris suggested we make a couple of changes- 1) move a large piece of furniture. 2) change the buyers first impression by moving the lockbox from the front to the back door. Simple things, if you know them, can make a world of difference! My home sold in less than a week!!”

“I've been in real estate for 20 years as a broker, developer and property manager. I live in Boston. My mother's home was not selling. The situation needed a professional; so I hired Iris. She told me what I needed to do, some of which was tough news but that is her job. I gulped and did what she recommended. The result was a tremendous success story. A house that was on the market for nine months prior to Iris' involvement sold within days (as she said it would) and at the price she recommended. That is a success story. If she recommends your house needs a facelift and staging do it - you will get your money back and then some. If she recommends a sales price, make her convince you - but expect to be convinced. If she suggests you accept and offer or reject a term, go with her. She had my best interests in mind, as I am convinced she will yours. In one word Iris is TERRIFIC! Allow her to work her magic.

Iris Bartzen was the listing agent on our house in Trilogy @ Vistancia. Iris is a seasoned real estate professional with over 27 years of experience. From the beginning to the end Iris was there for us. We are art collectors so our home needed some editing and rearranging in preparation for going on the market. Iris, with her design expertise, spent a day rearranging and turning our home into what looked like a model. She kept us informed throughout the entire process...we always knew what was happening. Our transaction was protracted and challenging, which tried our patience, but not hers. Her top-notch negotiating skills were extremely helpful in closing our house by the deadline. Iris is what you look for in a real estate agent and does not disappoint. We recommend her without reservation.
client’s needs and possesses a keen marketing sense. Her attention to detail is remarkable. Iris demonstrates the commitment to be there from the first day through to the final signature on the closing document. When selling what is for many families their most costly asset, one can’t afford to not select Iris Bartzen as their Realtor.”
