Buying Real Estate Why I Believe Clients Should Know When They Can Reach Their Realtor Here’s something that might sound surprisingly simple: My clients know when I’m available. And they know when I’m not. I think that’s important. Because being responsive doesn’t mean being available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It means being clear about what people can expect from you. You Shouldn’t Have to Guess One […]
Buying Real Estate What Does a Realtor Actually Do to Create Value? My broker uses a phrase I really like: “All opportunity lies on the other side of value creation.” I think that idea applies really well to real estate.

Buying Real Estate A Few Des Moines-Area Neighborhoods I Think You Should Explore If you’re exploring the Des Moines area and trying to figure out where you might want to live, here’s my biggest piece of advice: Don’t just look at houses.

I had a seller who was out of state and couldn’t get a cleaner to the property. The house needed a little TLC before the next step in the […]
Buying Real Estate Why Communication Is One of the Most Important Parts of My Job Every Monday. Like clockwork. I’m reaching out to my clients. Sometimes it’s a market update. Sometimes it’s a recap of showings. Sometimes it’s an update on something happening behind the scenes. And sometimes it’s simply: “Hey, how are ya?” Because I believe communication isn’t optional when you’re helping someone buy or sell a home. It’s […]
Investing in Real Estate Pricing Your Home Correctly Why Pricing Your Des Moines Home Correctly Matters Let’s be real about the Des Moines real estate market: Homes can still sell. But pricing matters. A lot. One of the biggest mistakes I see sellers make is assuming that pricing a home is simply about picking a number that sounds good. It isn’t. And sometimes […]
Buying Real Estate Buying & Selling With Empathy Buying or Selling a Home Is More Than a Financial Decision Let’s be real. Buying or selling a home is a huge deal. And it’s not just because of the money involved. It’s emotional. It’s personal. It’s exciting. It’s stressful. And sometimes, it’s all of those things at the exact same time. 😅 That’s something […]
