I love nature, being outside, planting pretty flowers, and sitting peacefully in the woods.

✨ Improved price + a payment that feels even better ✨

Now offered at $269,900 - and here’s where this gets really exciting…

This home comes with a 9-year property tax abatement, which means your taxes stay significantly lower for years-and that can make a big difference in your monthly payment.

💡 Think: more home, without the full tax burden upfront.
💡 Think: breathing room in your budget.
💡 Think: getting into a home sooner than you thought possible.

And on top of that:
✔️ 3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms
✔️ Main-level primary suite
✔️ Built-in drop zone
✔️ Main-level laundry
✔️ 1,296 finished sq ft of clean, modern finishes

This price improvement isn't just about the number-it's about creating real opportunity in today’s market.

If affordability has been the thing holding you back… this is one you need to see.

📲 Reach out for a showing or to run the numbers - I’ll help you break down exactly what this looks like for you.

Thinking about selling your house “as-is”?

Don’t panic-you don’t have to throw that strategy out completely.

But in today’s Des Moines real estate market, “as-is” doesn’t mean buyers won’t do a home inspection or ask for repairs.

The goal isn’t to avoid negotiation-it’s to be prepared for it.

The sellers who are seeing the most success right now are:

✔️ Pricing their home accurately for the market
✔️ Staying open to inspection negotiations
✔️ And making strategic decisions that protect their bottom line

You can still sell successfully-and maximize what you walk away with.

It just comes down to having the right strategy in place from the start. 🤍

If you’re not sure what that looks like for your home, I’m always here to help you map it out.

First-time homebuyers will always have my heart 🩶

Lauren, getting to walk through this process with you—from the unknowns to the “this is it” moment—was something I’ll never take for granted. Thank you for trusting me and for sharing your experience so openly.

If you’re reading this and thinking…
“I want to buy, but I have no idea where to start”
or
“I’m not sure I’m ready yet…”

You are exactly who I love working with.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need someone in your corner who will walk you through it step by step, answer every question, and make sure you feel confident in every decision.

If that’s you… I’m here when you’re ready 🖤

The excitement you hear in my voice is SO REAL! It’s a quick moment when she pops that cork to celebrate reaching her goal of buying her first home ❤️🏡

The journey to this front door, her front door, was incredible! She knew what she wanted and was committed to the process from day one. She’s a buyer with a vision and isn’t afraid to take on projects 💪🏻 (shoutout to Dad for being ready, willing, and able to assist if needed) 🫶🏻

To Tessa, thank you for trusting me with your first home purchase. I know how MASSIVE of a deal it is to not only buy your first home but to then become a first time homeowner. It’s lowkey terrifying but now instead of paying rent that went towards someone else’s future wealth, you’re paying into your own. That’s life changing. You did that! I’m beyond proud of you and excited to see how you make your new house your new home 🏡 remember, I don’t go away just because you’ve closed; I’m always here to help you, however I can.❤️

CONGRATULATIONS 🍾

Want to own a brand-new home in Des Moines AND save thousands?

You can—thanks to the city’s 9-year tax abatement program.

📍 2527 Shaw St. Des Moines, IA 50317

Brand-new 3 bed, 2 bath ranch home listed at $272,500. Built by NFC Properties, LLC, this home features LP Smart Siding, LVP flooring, dedicated laundry room on the main level with an additional 1,296 sqft of future finish offered on the lower level —and it comes with one of the best property tax deals in the city:

🔹 Year 1–6: You pay $0 on the improved value
🔹 Year 7: 75% of the improved value is abated
🔹 Year 8: 50% abated
🔹 Year 9: 25% abated

🧾 In a neighborhood where brand-new homes typically rack up $4,000–$5,000/year in taxes, this abatement can save you $20K+ over time—money you can reinvest in your life, savings, or style.

🏡 No garage? True.
But if you’re dreaming of a low-maintenance lifestyle with affordable monthly payments and instant equity, this home makes a bold case.

🌆 Located minutes from downtown in a part of the city that’s starting to transform, this is your chance to be part of the next wave—new construction in a historic, overlooked area.
