Most people think selling starts when the sign goes up.

In reality, it starts way earlier... with prep, pricing, and how the home is positioned before buyers ever step inside.

A few things I see catch sellers in Des Moines metro off guard:
• how much first impressions actually drive demand
• how pricing impacts leverage (not just the final number)
• and how the right strategy can change the entire outcome

Listing a home is easy.
Selling it _well_ is where the difference shows up.

If you’re thinking about selling in Des Moines metro — now or down the line — I’m always happy to talk through what a smart, realistic plan actually looks like for _your_ situation.

I will always tell people not to sell, not to buy, and to stay put when that it is the smartest move for their goals.

Everyone’s situation is completely different — which is exactly why a one-sentence answer never tells you what you actually need to know.

Two people can ask the same “How’s the market?” question and get totally different advice… because their timelines, goals, and life plans aren’t the same.

That’s why it’s so important to talk it through with a professional you trust.

Someone who will look at your full picture and help you understand what the best move is — even when the best move is NOT to buy or sell right now.

🏠🔑 Working with us isn’t about opening doors or pointing out paint colors.

Being a professional in real estate means bringing value to every step of the process — before, during, and long after the showing.

Our role is to advise, guide, negotiate, protect, and follow through.

Anyone can tour a home...

What matters is having a professional in your corner who understands the market, anticipates issues before they arise, and treats every transaction like it matters — because it does. 👀

I’m proud of the work our team does and the trust our clients place in us.

2025 wasn’t our best year because it was easy.

It was our best year because we worked harder than ever — helping more families than ever in a market that demanded experience, strategy, and professionalism.

Real estate can be exciting, but it’s also challenging. This team showed up for the late nights, tough conversations, strong follow-through, and clear communication that real clients rely on.

Growth like this doesn’t happen by accident.

It happens when a team is willing to take the responsibility seriously and do the work — even when it’s hard.

We’re built for this market.

👋 And we’re ready to do it again. Who is coming with?

Not to nitpick but...

There are a few things I obsess over when touring a home.

It might take a few extra minutes, but being thorough protects my clients in the long run.

Some things are easy to spot. Others take a trained eye and a few years of experience.

My clients know that when we`re in house hunting mode, I`m weighing the details, comparing options and understanding what we can leverage.

If you’re touring homes soon and want a second set of eyes, my DMs are always open.

Another home sold in the incredible Prairie Trail community — and this one came with all the emotions that make this job so meaningful.

1907 SW 19th St wasn’t just a house. It was home. A place filled with memories, friendships, neighbors who became family, and a community that shaped a chapter of life for the sellers. Saying goodbye is never easy — there’s a little sadness in closing a door — but there’s also so much excitement in opening a new one.

What makes moments like this extra special is knowing that a new family now gets to step into that story. They’ll enjoy the home, the neighborhood, the friendships, and everything Prairie Trail has to offer — and make it their own in ways that are just as meaningful (if not more).

So grateful to represent both buyers and sellers through these transitions. Cheers to new beginnings, new memories, and the chapters ahead for everyone involved. 🤍

The best things happening in Des Moines metro this winter ❄️👇

If you’re anything like me, winter rolls around and suddenly it feels like there’s nothing fun to do. 🫣

This year, we`re finally going to enjoy the winter months in Des Moines metro. Here`s a running list of what’s actually worth leaving the house for this season.

• Winterfest Market — Jan. 24, 2026: Indoor winter market at the Iowa Events Center featuring local makers, artisans, and small-business goods — perfect for cozy shopping and warm drinks.

• Ice Skating at Brenton Skating Plaza — Jan. 1–31, 2026: Classic seasonal outdoor ice skating in downtown Des Moines with skate rentals available — fun for families and friends alike.

My very official, highly scientific, absolutely correct predictions for Des Moines metro in 2026:

• Summer nights will once again prove why people who leave Iowa always come back
• Someone moving here will say, “I didn’t realize how much there was to do,” and locals will nod knowingly
• The Des Moines metro will keep growing in a way that feels exciting, not overwhelming
• A local spot will become everyone’s go-to without ever trying to be trendy
• One neighborhood will quietly turn into the place people wish they bought sooner
• More people will realize Des Moines has the balance most cities are still chasing

If you’re considering selling in 2026 and want a clear breakdown of today’s numbers, a smart pricing strategy, and a plan tailored specifically to your home, comment SELLER and let’s start the conversation 🏡

The first 2 homes we’re touring this weekend:

🏡 8170 NW 27th Ct, Ankeny | 🎈 Open House: Sunday | 1–3 PM
Homes here offer the space, privacy, and elevated finishes buyers are actively searching for — from 10-foot ceilings and open-concept living to a gourmet kitchen and a spa-like primary suite, all set on a rare 0.47-acre, tree-lined lot.

🏡 302 Larson Dr, Huxley | 🎈 Open House: Sunday | 1–3 PM
This area stands out for its value, convenience, and low-maintenance living. Built in 2016, this 3-bed, 2.5-bath townhouse features modern finishes, all appliances included, and a layout that makes everyday life easy — a great option that’s often overlooked, which is exactly why I like starting here.

If you’re planning a move and want to see what’s actually available in these areas — not just what shows up on Zillow.
