About Us

Testimonials

• Above all, I really appreciated Don's straightforwardness. He told my husband and me exactly where he saw issues in potential homes. Our previous realtor had tried to tactfully dismiss a lot of concerns with "every house has it's problems," which was frustrating. Don was frank about things he thought were a good value or overpriced, so we felt confident with decisions we made. He also saved us from undervaluing our house! We were so eager to sell quickly that we wanted to start with a fair price on the lower end. Don encouraged us to consider the market and start at a higher price (with reassurance that we would lower it in a week if it wasn't working). Within a day, we had several offers above the higher asking price! As for availability, Don was incredible at quickly answering our texts, calls, and emails. - 09/06/2017 - Zillow 5 Stars - rascan001

We loved his honesty and professionalism. We HIGHLY recommend Don. Thank you Don. - 03/26/2017 - Zillow 5 Stars - camillevega3

• Don helped us purchase our first home in West Lafayette. He is very professional, patient and is always quick to respond. What Don impresses us most is that he doesn't under- or over-estimate things and always gives reasonable and solid answers to our questions.

• Don is definitely a professional and reliable realtor to work with! We worked together on purchasing a home and it was really a pleasant cooperation. He is very familiar with the local market, and he tried to reveal as many pros and cons of my target homes to me, which I might not know without such a knowledgeable agent. He pointed out all the noteworthy details he found in the homes we visited, letting me get better valuations of them. Another advantage of Don is his quick response to any new homes or conditions: I got the newest updates with his help. In the offer submitting and negotiating process, Don gave me useful advice for a better strategy and provided me lots of resources related with inspection issues to help protect my interests. He answered my questions clearly and always faster than I thought, he also considerately added more extra instructions and materials with his reply. Don is a trustable partner and I'll choose him again if I need to change a home in the great Lafayette area. I highly recommend him! - 03/06/2018 - Zillow 5 Stars - kevinlu1995  
  
  
• Don is great. He kept us informed not only of where we were at in the process but the next steps and always made sure we maintained some perspective. He communicates VERY well and believes in taking care of his clients and treats them like family. He actually read a book to our little girl during closing. I promise he won't let you down. - 12/27/2016 - Zillow 5 Stars - ward r.  
  
  
• Don is like a family to me. He is patient and experienced. He never rushed me for decisions; instead, he always pointed out some hidden problems with the houses which I could not be aware of. He was quite responsive in answering all my ignorant questions. Overall, he is honest, trustworthy and reliable. I will definitely choose him again for future buying or selling houses - 06/05/2018 - Zillow 5 Stars - li2831

We especially appreciated Don's candor and giving us his professional point of view. He followed through in getting us, everything we asked for. I would highly recommend Don to any soldiers, sailors, friends and family member. -- Felicia B - 11/21/2016 - Zillow 5 Stars - brokawf4

• Don is the best realtor in Lafayette/West Lafayette area. He is professional, patient, honest and he is always available. He helped us a lot to buy the house of our dreams! We arrived to Purdue just a few months ago and we did not know anything about the area; if you are in the same situation or simply you want to change your house, do not doubt and save time, he is the best realtor! No matter what you are looking for, he will find it for you!!! - 08/14/2017 - Zillow 5 Stars - Mirian V.

• Don Stocks is an outstanding, knowledgeable and totally trustworthy realtor. He is highly professional, diligent and polite. While we worked with him on finding a home, he demonstrated a profound knowledge about the real state business in the Lafayette area. He is very patient. He takes the time to explain pros and cons of each property you visit with him. He is genuinely interested in you finding a home you feel comfortable with. We eventually decided to build a home, rather than buying an existing house. Don took the time to come with us to pick paint colors, tile, flooring, etc. He visited the house several times while the builder was working on it to send us pictures and videos. He was always available for us, and he was always on time. I highly recommend Don Stocks. - 08/15/2017 - Google 5 Stars - Hector G. 
  
  
• Don Stocks is by far the most exceptional real estate broker I've ever worked with. I bought a house in another state, and he held the whole deal together and kept things going. If I had a question, he was there with an answer. If I needed paperwork to sign, he got it to me. If a problem arose, he handled it. He was kind, courteous, and friendly. He is knowledgeable and easy to work with. If I ever have to work with a real estate agent again, Don Stocks would be my first, and only, choice. - 06/09/2015 - Zillow 5 Stars - mywilloughby

• Don was a conscientious and thorough guide for us in finding a new home. He responded quickly to ideas and was clearly interested in our finding a house that met our needs as fully as possible. stuart robertson - 01/01/2018 - Google 5 Stars - Stuart R. 
  
  
• Don was a wonderful agent! My husband and I were looking for very different things in our new home and Don helped us work through that difficulty. He was very patient and respectful while he took us through numerous showings that only one of us was interested in. He let us take control of the real estate adventure and was content to let us look at listings at our pace; this was something we deeply appreciated! Once we offered on our new home, Don was in communication the entire time letting us know what was happening and how the process was progressing. Don also helped us list our old home and he made the process incredibly easy. He helped us work through and decide which offer to accept when the time came. Don is an outstanding agent and I would recommend him to anyone! - 01/10/2017 - Zillow 5 Stars - ajsorg  
  
  
• Don was absolutely wonderful to work with for our first home-buying experience! He made sure we understood the process and never tired of answering our endless questions. He was always quick to respond and very flexible when scheduling various meetings/showings. No detail was ever too small for him to follow-up on. He was patient while we took time to make decisions and never made us feel pressured. I gave 4/5 stars on Negotiation because he was very adamant that the decisions related to price and repair requests from the home inspection were up to us. Other people might appreciate this, but as this was our first home purchase we would have preferred more guidance. Overall Don was a fantastic agent; we would definitely recommend using him! - 11/28/2015 - Zillow 5 Stars - millierrr  
  
  
• Don was an awesome realtor. From day one, he was very attentive and went out of his way to make sure we found the perfect house and did every thing he could to make the process go smoothly. Very knowledgeable about the market and trustworthy. - 04/03/2016 - Zillow 5 Stars - Lyndsey B.  
  
  
• Don was basically a super hero for us. He held our hands through some serious issues with our mortgage company and I'm not sure we would have survived the ordeal without him. He responded to texts and calls within minutes, even at 2:00am. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating, too. What we're most grateful for is that he did all of this for a 67k starter home that wasn't even his listing. You have to really care about what you do to spend that much energy and time on a home of that price for a pretty small commission rate. Passionate, professional, and pacient. Thanks, Don! - 04/25/2016 - Zillow 5 Stars - brooksentity83  
  
  
• Don was great to work with! He helped make our process so smooth and stress free. He was very quick to get us into houses and to respond to all of our questions. I would definitely use Don again and recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you Don for all your help! - 04/16/2016 - Zillow 5 Stars - tdgifford73

• Don was great! It was a pleasure to work with Don. We are extremely happy that we got in touch with him for first new house. He was very quick to get us new house and to respond to all our questions. Thank you Don for all your help! - 09/07/2016 - Zillow 5 Stars - mrjorgji  
  
  
• Don was instrumental in the purchase of our home. He showed great interest in touring us around and was never tired of showing houses. Very motivated and hard working person. We are extremely happy that we got in touch with him for our house purchase. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a great real estate professional. - 08/11/2016 - Zillow 5 Stars - mishradh  
  
  
• Don was open and honest with us through the entire home buying process. We went with an FHA loan and Don helped so much when it came to knowing what an FHA inspector might look at, even if that meant pointing out the negatives of a house. He always answered my calls, emails, and texts within a few minutes, which was so professional of him and much appreciated by me. He put us in a great position to negotiate with the seller on some repairs that were required by FHA, and even went to bat for us with our lender. It was so reassuring to know that Don had our backs. I highly recommend Don to anyone who is in search of a great realtor. - 03/29/2017 - Zillow 5 Stars - art l. 
  
  
• Don was so helpful! He helped me buy my very first house, and what's more helped me though everything and beyond, since I was moving from out of state! I always felt completely safe with him handling issues for me because I knew I could trust him 100%! Even after the closing he still keeps in touch with me and has offered his help for any questions I have about the area! Fantastic man, super agent! - 07/14/2015 - Zillow 5 Stars - mrbrya  
  
  
• Don went above and beyond what I expected out of a realtor. He was always courteous and very knowledgeable of the homes we looked at. He always made sure to do his research. If he didn't know an answer to my question he would go out of his way to make sure he found the answer no matter how long it took. Strongly recommend him to anyone in need of a good realtor. - 06/06/2015 - Zillow 5 Stars - user21789561 
• Don worked with me over the course of several months and was available to show me several houses. I never felt any pressure to go out side of my budget or neighborhood. He was very informed on the properties we were visiting. He is extremely polite and patient, especially dealing with me as a first time home buyer. Was never late to a showing or appointment. All around I recommend Don to anyone and everyone looking to buy/ sell a house - 12/01/2016 - Zillow 5 Stars - rholland1414  
  
  
• Don worked with my wife and myself for several months as wife is expecting. He worked with our schedule and accompanied our needs in a way that I could have never imagine. He worked through every bump in the road help us find our first home. He is very insightful and intelligent about what to look for in a house as well as knowing the Lafayette area very well. There's no way that I would chose other realtor. - 03/18/2016 - Zillow 5 Stars - b l.  
  
  
• Don worked with us to purchase a home on a very short schedule. We were first time buyers and did not know what to expect, we were honest with Don about our expectations and what we were looking for. He told us what we could expect and how to best time our offer to ensure a fair price. He also gave us realistic expectations about what sellers were willing to do in order to get the houses sold. Everything came together perfectly after our first house fell through due to disagreements with the Seller regarding the particular upgrades to the house they agreed to in writing. We found another house in the same area with a different developer who had a great record and we are quite happy with our purchase. Don worked tirelessly and provided lots of valuable advice during the process. - 12/20/2016 - Zillow 5 Stars - Anthony T.  
  
  
• Don, he is a nice, cool guy. I really appreciate his patients & his guidance on buying our house. He listened to what we wanted & help us find a house my wife, kids & I love. He is understanding, well knowledgeable in what he does. You won't go wrong with him on your side. Thanks Don, you help to make my family dreams come to on a house that we all love.

• I was recently in Lafayette, Indiana, looking for a home to share with my sister. Don was amazing! He is always available to answer any question I have even though I have since returned home. He explained in detail the housing market and showed me several homes that would be excellent options for me. When I am ready to purchase, I will definately use Don as my agent. He is Great! - 11/04/2015 - Zillow 5 Stars - sandms6  
  
  
• I worked with Don out of state to sell a lot in the Lafayette area. He was terrific on every dimension. He was on top of every aspect of the situation, from marketing the lot, to detailed aspects of covenants and unique features of the property, to the marketing and closing. I found his guidance invaluable--it was like having a best friend looking out for my interests. I would recommend Don with the highest confidence and would gladly work with him again (and again). - 12/08/2016 - Zillow 5 Stars - markmcdaniel84  
  
  
• If you're in need of a realtor I would suggest you call Don Stocks. We recently purchased our home with Don being our realtor. Don is motivated, attentive and an all around good guy. He will go above and beyond for you ( offered us his steamer to remove wallpaper). Don will be who we call when we have any future real estate needs. - 08/27/2015 - Zillow 5 Stars - lisasambrooks

• It was an absolute pleasure to work with Don in purchasing my first home! He made the process very easy for me and accomodated my schedule. Don knows the Lafayette area very well and always gave me honest feedback based on what I was looking for. You can expect to hear from him immediately and has years worth of experience and advice to offer a first-time home buyer! I honestly couldn't have asked for a better realtor! - 03/31/2017 - Zillow 5 Stars - GenevieveViduya  
  
  
• Made a potentially stressful experience flow smoothly, timely, and pleasantly. I am not anticipating making another home purchase anytime in the future now, but would seek out Don again without hesitation if I was. Highly recommended. - 04/18/2017 - Zillow 5 Stars - kanodkanod  
  
  
• Mr. Stocks was a very understanding realator. He was very helpful with my husband and I, expecially with finding us a home sutable for one with a disability. Don was able to help us with getting closing done in a timely manner, even when our lender had a change of employees. Don was very understanding about having to work around our religious beliefs and days of observance. He got us to close on the house in a timely manner, as my disability made were I had been living at the time very inconvenient and hazardous for me. If you chose to have Mr. Stocks to work with you I pray that your experience is as good as ours was as he was their in the cold and rain for us. - 07/14/2015 - Zillow 5 Stars - user9033009  
  
  
• My husband and I hired Don to help us sell our home and buy a new one, which we were able to do in about a month! Above all, I really appreciated Don's straightforwardness. He told us exactly where he saw issues in potential homes. Our previous realtor had tried to tactfully dismiss a lot of concerns with "every house has it's problems," which was frustrating. Don was frank about things he thought were a good value or overpriced, so we felt confident with decisions we made. He also saved us from undervaluing our house!

• My husband and I worked with Don Stocks to purchase our first home and really can't say enough good things about him. He is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, endlessly patient, and incredibly generous with his time (including mornings, evenings, and weekends). He answered every question and explained every form and every part of the process clearly and thoroughly. He knew the area very well. Buying a home in this market is challenging, but working with Don Stocks is as painless and straightforward as possible. I highly recommend him and for sure work with him again. - 06/15/2017 - Yelp 5 Stars - Asefeh K.

• My husband and I's experience was great. Don was very welling to help us with every aspect of house hunting. Being first time home buyers you walk into it not knowing much of what to look for. Don was very informative and helped us through this experience. It was a privelage to have Don as our realtor we also walked away with a friendship. - 06/25/2015 - Zillow 5 Stars - user0353274  
  
  
• Thanks, Don, for helping us get into our house and get settled. It would be a mistake for anyone buying a house not to have you on their side of the table. You gave us great advice and you had great follow up to the end - 09/28/2016 - Zillow 5 Stars - wsmathews514323  
  
  
• We could not have been better served by a realtor than we were by Don. He so patiently showed us possible new houses in our attempt to downsize for the long haul. He understood what we hoped to find and guided us to possible houses. When we were in process of negotiating with the buyers of the home that we left, he was gracious and firm with those interested in our home. He understood how we loved our previous home and hoped to find a buyer that had a like interest in an organic yard and garden, and an extensive yard that would require significant interest in upkeep. He found the ideal buyers so that at the closing it was something of a celebration all around. - 07/13/2015 - Zillow 5 Stars - roberts52

Since this was our first experience in buying a house, we had a lot of questions and he explained all those very professionally and patiently. He was always accessible, on time and fast responsive. With a continual smile on his face, he helped us a lot to finally find our desired house and supported us all the way through closing. I definitely recommend him as a perfect real state agent. - 06/16/2017 - Facebook 5 Stars - Abbas S.

• We have a new house! Thank you DON. We are very happy with Don and highly recommend him. He was always willing to give us his professional view about the houses and the best areas in town, and he always answered our questions and concerns. My wife and I had the impression that he did not want to sell, he rather wanted to help us in making the best decision, bringing always a professional and objective point of view. He consistently had an excellent attitude and was willing to tour a house with us at any time of day. THANK YOU SO MUCH! - 09/05/2016 - Zillow 5 Stars - magonzal76  
  
  
• We just bought a house with Don's help and I can highly recommend him. We didn't know the area and had to choose a house, basically, online, with just one visit to see all the options. Don was always very easy to reach, he was very helpful throughout the entire process. He knows a great deal about the area and was always willing to double-check things and find the answers for the questions we had. It was a pleasure to work with Don, thanks! - 07/06/2016 - Zillow 5 Stars - yuliazach  
  
  
• We moved from Toronto to West Lafayette, and we had Don as the realtor to purchasing our first home. We think Don is definitely one of the most friendly, patient and professional realtors. Don was willing to show us more than 20 homes before we made the final decision, and he took his time to explain all pros and cons for each home. Constantly excellent service, even after the transaction was completed. At the personal level, Don is a true delight to work with and he has a very good sense of humor. More importantly, Don is good at working with people having different cultural backgrounds like us. We strongly recommend Don Stocks! - 06/18/2017 - Google 5 Stars - Jianxi S.  
  
  
• We really enjoyed working with Don. He was very professional, kind, and patient with us as we took some time to find our dream home. As first-time home buyers, we really appreciated having Don's knowledge and expertise as he guided us through the whole home buying process. We would highly recommend Don to friends and family. - 09/18/2016 - Zillow 5 Stars - rhcpchick5000  
  
  
• We worked with Don for our relocation from SW Virginia to West Lafayette. We were on a compressed schedule and had specific desires for our new home which Don adroitly picked up on. Don is professional, friendly, straightforward, and expert in the local market as well as in home buying & selling in general. We are very glad to have worked with him and heartily recommend him to anyone looking for a Real Estate Professional in the Lafeyette region. - 05/15/2017 - Zillow 5 Stars - stein1jn323
