I believe that real estate is more than just a transaction. As a REALTOR® with CENTURY 21 Signature Real Estate, I build my business by referral, and therefore my goal is to provide every home buyer and seller in Iowa with an extraordinary experience that puts people before sales.
Closing the sale matters, but more important is having a trusted advisor in your corner who has your back every step of the way and is able to keep you safe from potential pitfalls.
Reach out if you want to talk about selling your home, buying a property, investing in real estate, or learning more about your local community.
“We worked long distance with Whitney and couldn't have been happier. She went out of her way to assist us, answer questions, and take care of details we couldn't. From start to finish, we trusted her judgment and advice and will contact her with any future real estate needs.”

“I have worked with Whitney Funkhouser on three separate occasions (twice as my buying agent and once as my listing agent) and every time it has resulted in a positive experience with the desired final outcome. Whitney is very professional with a friendly, laid-back style as a real estate agent but she also provides honest feedback to your questions while negotiating terms of a house purchase or determining the marketable listing price on your house. For those reasons, I would recommend Whitney Funkhouser to anyone that is desiring to have a relatively stress-free real estate experience!”

“Whitney Funkhouser was so helpful because she gave us confidence in taking the next step. She could put on a the "hat" of a designer, DIYer, or financial advisor, as well as the buyers and sellers perspective. Her local knowledge combined with her savvy negotiation skills led to an excellent purchase that we are very happy with.”

“There are a lot of great Realtors to choose from in the Ames area. And if you've lived in Ames for any amount of time you know many of them personally. When it's time to do a real estate deal if can be tough to decide who to go with. I'm glad I went with Whitney and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. She did a great job. The process was boring and uneventful, which is exactly how I wanted it. Buying real estate can be stressful, but Whitney did a wonderful job making sure I felt as little of that stress as possible. It all went smoothly and I appreciated that. She was very flexible with my schedule and made sure the showing and final walk-through happened at a time that was convenient for me.”

“We had Whitney Funkhouser as our real estate agent. She was absolutely amazing. Whitney was always accessible and accommodated to our schedule. She took the time on weekends and nights, with short notice, to help with our limited schedule. Whitney was beyond kind, considerate, and helpful every step of the process. She sent regular updates and checked in throughout the closing process. It was our first time buying a house and Whitney made us feel comfortable throughout everything. I can't imagine there is any other real estate agent I would trust more than Whitney Funkhouser. I will be recommending Whitney to everyone!”

“Appreciated Whitney’s understanding of our specific needs and courteous communication with all parties concerned with this purchase. We presented a very challenging, multi faceted need and she just “got after it” and didn’t flinch at our need to add complexities to the search and people she needed to interact with. Smart, winsome and resourceful!!”

“Simply put, Whitney met and exceeded our expectations for the entire home buying experience--from locating the perfect home for us to the final day of closing, Whitney was truly a joy for my wife and I to work with. Her ability to listen well to what was important to us each step of the way made for a smooth process overall which we appreciate very much. Her weekly Friday email updates communicated so well where we were in the process and she was always available if we had questions. Whitney delivered each step of the way and we were confident in her ability to represent us throughout the process. To cap it off, she is just an enjoyable person to be around and it was a delight to work with her. We highly recommend Whitney and the team at Century 21!!”
