About Noah
Building strong relationships and creating a stress-free experience are at the heart of my real estate approach. I believe that buying or selling a home should be an exciting and rewarding journey, and I’m committed to guiding my clients with clear communication, trust, and personalized support every step of the way. Originally from Ohio, I made Polk County my home to be closer to family after years of relocating for military assignments. My background includes eight years of service in the United States Army Artillery, where I learned the importance of leadership, integrity, and putting others first—values that now shape the way I serve my clients. Outside of real estate, I cherish time with my wonderful wife and two beautiful children, whether enjoying a quiet night at home or setting off on new adventures. No matter where you are in your real estate journey, I’m here to make the process smooth, successful, and enjoyable.

The BEST agent EVER
10 days ago
The BEST agent EVER

Christina was a phenomenal agent. I cannot say enough good things about her. Before we met Christina, we had purchased other properties with another realtor and it is so regretful we did not know Christina sooner. Christina is so knowledgeable and dedicated and goes so far up and above what I have ever seen in the industry. She handles everything so smoothly and even when things may not be going smooth, she handles everything consistently with such grace and a great attitude. She truly made the entire process for my family and I so enjoyable. Christina is truly the best and she’s also an amazing negotiator. Do yourself a favor and do NOT call any other realtor except for her. I promise you will be more than satisfied with all results. Even this review does not do enough justice for how amazing Christina is. Thank you, Christina!!

Noah is simply the best agent we have ever worked with.

Noah is simply the best agent we have ever worked with.

We have bought and sold eight homes over the years, and I can say without hesitation that Noah Stevens did the best job we have ever experienced. Despite being a young real estate professional, Noah’s knowledge, professionalism, and attention to detail far exceeded our expectations. The marketing was best we have every experienced, communication was clear and consistent, and our interests were always represented thoughtfully and firmly. What truly set Noah apart was how well everything was taken care of while we were away—handling issues proactively, keeping us informed, and making sure nothing fell through the cracks. Buying and selling can be stressful, but this experience was smooth, well-managed, and confidence‑inspiring from start to finish. If you want someone who works hard, represents you flawlessly, and genuinely cares about doing an exceptional job, I cannot recommend Noah Stevens highly enough.

Strategic and Trustworthy

Noah was committed to our success as first-time homebuyers through every step of the process. He was responsive, knowledgable, and we are absolutely confident that he worked with our well-being in mind, not just a paycheck. He made the usually stressful process a breeze and I am recommending him to everyone who is looking or thinks they cannot afford to buy because he made it more possible than we ever thought. We are super grateful for him!
