Copyright © Liz Erb Firmstone Real Estate, LLC
Honesty, Integrity and Trust, are not a part of my brand by necessity or by accident, they are who I am. Firmstone Real Estate represents my personal ethics and values and my personal ethics and values are the foundation from which I manage my real estate brokerage.
My vision for Firmstone Real Estate is always to lead, guide, and move people into a place they love to call home and to make their lives better after we have worked together than it was before we met.
I have built my business with you in mind and am always working to humanize the way I work with people.
My passion is helping people create a home where they can feel content, relaxed and calm within, so that they can enjoy and grow their families, their lives, and the communities in which they live. When our efforts and energies are focused on this goal, you will be amazed at how the process of buying or selling your home flows easily and falls into place. There are many decisions, collaborations and choices involved with finding a place to call home, and therefore I consult and strategize with you to work through these stages within whatever length of timeframe you need.
I am Liz Erb Firmstone and I am ready to meet you whenever the time is right for you!

Holistic Approach
As your Realtor, I am dedicated to enhancing your quality of life and health by focusing on the well-being and livability for you and your family throughout your real
estate experience. I unite traditional selling and buying of real estate, with a holistic approach of taking your well-being as a whole person into account - paying special
attention to the physical, mental, emotional, and soulful health of you, your family - and all concerned, by assisting, guiding, and counseling you through the real estate
experience as you make lifestyle choices in finding your place.
The holistic approach is not a Realtor certification or designation within the profession...but it is how I personally practice Real Estate. Why? Because it
is "client-centered" and you want a real estate "advisor" who invests their time consulting, negotiating, and organizing the details of your transaction to your
satisfaction and comfort.
Please review our
Client Testimonials to gain a much deeper perspective with our holistic approach of taking your well-being as a whole person into account with serving you and your real estate experience.
Professional Degrees
I hold an Industrial Engineering degree from Iowa State and an MBA in Marketing from DePaul University, and utilize both of these skill sets in the process of evaluating
properties and using market data to assess property values to assist you in
finding your place.
I grew up in Northeast Iowa, and many years ago I relocated our family to Iowa City. We love living and working here and appreciate the great lifestyle the
Iowa City Metro has to offer.
In addition to the excellent service I personally provide, by choosing
Firmstone Real Estate® you gain valuable expertise that will ensure a smooth transaction from beginning to end.
