THE BEST OF GUTHRIE COUNTY 2025

The votes have been tallied. Check out the full results.

“Good, better, best. Never let it rest, until your good is better and your better is best.”

That quote is generally attributed to Saint Jerome, an early Christian priest and theologian, born in Croatia, who lived approximately 347-419 AD. Although Saint Jerome never had the chance to experience Guthrie County, his perspective matches well with our annual poll to determine the Guthrie County people, places, events and businesses that are voted as best by our readers.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We recently purchased a home with Kane Powell as our agent. We found him to be extremely knowledgeable about the Lake Panorama area, in addition to home sales and purchases in general. The fact that he is also a licensed electrician was yet another notch up on the comfort level with his knowledge of many home-related factors. He was low-key, easy-going, and quick to respond to our many inquiries. We will...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

As new residents to Iowa, we were not terribly familiar with the area or the market. By chance, we stumbled upon Lake Panorama Realty as the listing agency for the first of three homes we wanted to see on a particular day.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Our reason was to move closer to family, you listened to what we wanted and worked hard to find the right place. You put our interest above yours, as the property we purchased was for sale by owner. You handled the go-between buyer and seller so professionally that we feel we have made new friends all around. It took three visits to make up our mind, and we were never pushed to buy; that makes you specia...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I can’t express enough our appreciation for the amount of devoted time spent helping us get into our new home.
