Skogman Realty was founded in 1973 by Rick Skogman and since then has grown to become one of the largest locally owned real estate companies in eastern Iowa. Rick retired in 2008 passing the reins over to his son, Chris, who is currently the President. Skogman Realty is a division of Skogman Homes, which is justifiably proud of its heritage of “Five Generations of Home Building Pride”. Skogman Hom
es is considered to be one of the finest home building organizations in the Midwest. It has deep roots in the Cedar Rapids community and has developed dozens of entire neighborhoods such as Bowman Woods, Stoney Point, Northbrook, Cedar Hills, Fox Trail and Willowood, along with several sizable condominium projects. At latest count, over 10,000 families live in a Skogman built home. Skogman Realty is a highly valued, integral part of the Corridor's business community. Over 180 full time professional associates make up the Skogman Realty Team. Its agents maintain membership affiliation in over 100 community, charitable and service organizations. In June, 2009 Skogman Realty opened their first real estate office in Coralville. In just a few years the office has grown to over 40 agents and over $175 million in annual sales volume. We have grown to be the second largest company in the Iowa City real estate market and have become ingrained in the community by serving on boards and volunteering with different organizations. Skogman Realty prides itself on being an independent, locally owned and managed organization, and its mission is to remain the predominately recognized real estate company in the marketplace.
