I walked through this property and kept changing my mind about what I loved most.

4 acres of wooded privacy with a putting green in your backyard is enough to make you fall in love — but this home is also minutes from Prairie Trail, Saylorville Lake, and top-rated schools without sacrificing that "worlds away" feeling.

If you're a Des Moines area homeowner, chances are someone wants to buy your house...

Every week, buyers come to me asking for open concept homes in great neighborhoods, bigger yards, and homes with character.

The problem is, there are limited options available in Des Moines area.

So I start looking. Asking around my network, and reaching out to homeowners who aren't even thinking about selling yet.

And most of the time, they're genuinely surprised by the demand and what buyers are willing to pay.

If your home fits the bill, I'd love to chat.

DM me "match" or send this to a friend who's been thinking about making a move.

⛳🌳 When I hear: "We're looking for more space in Des Moines area..."

This is the home I send my clients.

And if these ones don't quite match what you're looking for, send me a message. A big part of my job is helping clients find off-market opportunities.
