Relocating from Marshalltown to Bondurant, I loved helping this sweet family through the selling and buying process. The timing, strategy, pricing, and negotiating all becomes more complex in a sell/buy situation. We got this one SOLD so they could move on to the next chapter.

Did I ever mention that first time home buyers are my favorite? Well, they are. Lucas and Kaylee decided new construction was the best bang for their buck and this Sage Homes ranch was just what they were looking for. Thank you for trusting me to help you buy your first home!

18 months listed with another agent. Sold in 4 days. It didn’t need much, but it needed an attentive agent who knows what it takes. I gave the owner a list of some cheap, minor tweaks that I believed would make the difference and between that and amazing staging by StylebyLydia, it made all the difference. Loved helping a fellow BNI member sell their investment property. Dalton at R3 Roofing is the best of the best. Thank you for trusting me to finally get your home SOLD!

Check out my fantastic listing in Marshalltown. It's a 2022 resale and is in near perfect condition. Brand new construction at resale price. She's a beaut!

Back by popular demand…The Harvest Moon Series…a four part series of the chronicles of turning a really bad decision 😂 into our home. Series sounds fancy. Something I am not. However, I have a crush on homes in general, but some good old fashioned DIY makes this girl flat out swoon. I’m excited to start sharing some before and afters from our last home. Guys, it was rough. Ugly, hideous, dirty, and did I mention UUUGLY? Purple siding, purple shutters, purple flashing, purple soffit, purple garage door AND RED BRICK!! Who DOOOOEES that?!! We found them. We found the humans who do that. This series will focus on how to DIY on the cheap...which is most of the fun for me.
It’s a puzzle. A challenge. The thrill of the hunt. Basically, how can I pull off this idea...whatever it is, on way less.
Sounds mediocrely (not a word) lameish(also not a word) to get kicks and giggles off of that. These DIYS are not fancy…already noted I’m not that, but with a frugality that would make my ULTRA frugal mama proud. So enjoy photos 1 and 2. Highlights: took down a tree that had weirdly grown in front bed (free with the husband and dad), painted all the purple a greige($400 for paint and ...a really great friend named Shane that erased the Barney House of Shame in about 5 hours...still stunned, painted front door($25), new door handle(Amazon $49), hardware on garage(sale $10), new landscaping($5 starters from neighbor), new exterior lights ($10 garage sale) replaced wooden laughably scrawny posts with beams(free from someone giving away). Stay tuned for the 1/2 bath of nautical nightmares.

Whew! This one had its challenges. Out of state buyer buying sight unseen, but we found them a fantastic place and they were thrilled. Thanks Randalls for entrusting me to be your eyes, ears, and nose on showings. Enjoyed finding you a really great home.
