Buying and selling in Cedar Rapids · Marion · Hiawatha · Ely
Move without the guesswork.
Realistic estimates early: your monthly payment, cash to close and likely net, updated as lenders, title and inspectors quote.
Guessing is expensive.
My commitments, in writing.
A house is the biggest figure most people ever sign, and nobody should sign it on "it depends." I'm Joshua Weuve, a REALTOR® with Epique. I sign these commitments for every client, in writing, at the first appointment.
- 1.Estimated costs in writing early, updated as quotes come in.
- 2.A clear estimate, not "it depends." If something could move it, I tell you what and roughly how much.
- 3.Every comparable sale behind a price, so you can check my work.
- 4.Bad news fast: what happened, what it costs, and your options.
- 5.No pressure. If I'm not the right fit, I'll tell you.

Outstanding . Made the process soooo easy! Great communication and very professional.
Josh is great. Thanks to Josh and the people at New American funding we closed a week earlier than expected. Josh is very friend and made the home buying experience easy. He was very understanding of the expectations we had for a home and helped us find the right one.
Cannot say better things about our experience with Josh as our realtor. He was incredibly helpful through our home-buying process and always had answers for us first-time home buyers. When the derecho caused our timeline to radically shift, he was super helpful with scheduling showings last minute. He handled or facilitated many of the tasks that had to be done. Nothing slipped through the cracks, the recommendations for a bank and house inspection was great. Life was stressful after losing our apartment to Hurricane Derecho, but Josh made the transition to being homeowners as easy as I could have imagined.

Buying a house in Cedar Rapids, Marion, Hiawatha or Ely starts with one question: what will it really cost? We estimate it before you tour anything. You get an estimated monthly payment with property taxes and insurance included, an estimate of cash to close, and the Iowa Finance Authority programs you may qualify for as a first-time buyer.
Selling starts with a different question: what will I walk away with? You get a price range built from recent sales near you, with every comparable shown, and an estimated net sheet that accounts for Iowa's transfer tax and the property tax credit sellers usually give buyers at closing.
Either way, the first appointment is free and there's nothing to sign.
Sign with your eyes open.
- Surprise costs at the closing table
- A price you can't explain
- Decisions made on a hunch
- Costs estimated early, then updated
- A price backed by real sales
- Decisions made with the figures in front of you
