Summer in Waterloo is great, but sometimes you just need a change of scenery.

Hi everyone! 👋

It’s been a while since I’ve really shown up on here, so I wanted to reintroduce myself a little bit. Life has been pretty busy recently, I welcomed my baby last October, so social media took a bit of a back seat for a while. I’m excited to start sharing more again!

I’m Taylor, a Waterloo local, mom, and real estate agent with the Monica Schmidt Group brokered by eXp Realty.

Swipe for a little backstory and what you can expect to find on this page. →

I’ll be sharing local spots, market updates, listings, behind-the-scenes real estate, and a little bit of life in between.

I’m really glad you’re here. If you’re looking for a local recommendation or want to chat about what it looks like to buy, sell, or relocate in the area, my DMs are always open!

Cheers,
Taylor 🌸

Sammie & Joey 🏡✨

This one feels extra special. We’ve been on the home search journey for a bit, waiting for the perfect one to hit the market. After a couple of “so close” moments and missed offers, it’s safe to say… this house was worth the wait. Because the second we found the one, it all made sense why the others didn’t work out!

I seriously couldn’t be happier for you two. I can already picture all the memories you’re going to make here!

Thank you both for trusting me and letting me be part of this journey. It means so much!

And a big shoutout to Matt for being such a rockstar lender! Smooth transaction, great communication, and an all-around awesome job from start to finish!

Cheers to new beginnings, new memories, and a home that was always meant to be yours 🏠

Sold in Columbia! 🏡

This one sold off market and it was smooth from start to finish. No stress, just a clean, easy deal for my sellers.

A little bittersweet because this was their very first home, but now we’re on to the fun part, finding the next one. I can’t wait to help them land the perfect fit for this next chapter 🤍

Congrats to my first-time homebuyer! 🏡

He took his time waiting for the right place, and when the perfect home in a small town came on the market, it all came together smoothly. I’m so happy for him as he starts this next chapter!

Thank you to Andrew Wetzler for handling the lending side and Monroe County Title for another smooth closing. ✨

Love you, Monroe County 🤍
And especially you, Waterloo.

Transferred here in 2009 (yep, I'm a proud transplant!) and haven’t looked back since!

Congratulations to my client, Sandee, on the purchase of her new home! 🏡✨

We started her home search a bit ago, looking for something easy to maintain and move-in ready. As soon as this home hit the market, we knew it was going to be the one! I’m so happy for you and can’t wait to see how you make it your own. Thanks for being such a great client!

Shoutout to Jason Chandler at Rate for handling the loan (and for stealing my good side in the closing photo 😂). Thank you to Monroe County Title Co. for accommodating us when we moved the closing up, and to Lisa Meegan Brokered by Exp Realty LLC for representing the sellers!

Hope everyone had a great Monday!

The best closings are with family! 🤍

Huge congrats to the Skoworns on their new home! It’s always so rewarding helping family through the real estate process—nothing better than handing over keys to people you love.

We’re so excited to have you in town and even closer to family. Here’s to making tons of new memories! 🏡
