A few things you’ll never catch me doing as a Des Moines REALTOR®. 🛑

Real estate can feel like a sales game from the outside, and I get why!

Some people are simply focused on hitting the number, closing the deal, and moving on to the next one. That’s just never been the way I want to work.

For me, this job is so much more than handing over a set of keys.

It’s helping someone find a place that actually fits the way they want to live, and being someone they can count on long after the closing paperwork is done.

The agents worth working with are the ones who treat your money, your time, and your future like it matters.

If you’ve been looking for someone who’ll be honest with you even when it isn’t the easy thing to say, I’d love to chat.

Did you know that Real Estate Agents have to renew their license every 3 years? Statistically, most leave the business in the first 12 months, and even more before year 3.

✨This is year 6 for me✨ and I decided to take it up a notch 🫶🏻

Hiring a listing agent shouldn’t be a coin flip with your biggest asset. 👏

Most people pick a listing agent based on what looks good on paper. The sales volume, the years in business, a few solid Google reviews.

None of that tells you how the sale is actually going to go. The agents worth hiring set themselves apart in different ways.

It’s in the questions they invite you to ask, the strategy they bring to the table before your home ever hits the MLS, and the way they communicate with you through every step of the sale.

That’s what’s worth paying attention to when you’re choosing who to trust with one of the biggest financial decisions of your life.

If you’re interviewing agents this year and want someone who’ll actually be in it with you, I’d love to chat.

A good REALTOR® will help you buy a house. A great one will make sure it’s actually the right one. 💯

When you’re new to buying or selling, it’s easy to assume every agent is basically doing the same job.

They show you homes, write offers, hand over keys. But how an agent actually does that job separates a smooth move from a stressful one you’re still telling stories about years later.

The best ones treat your move like it’s their own. They take the time to understand the way you actually live, they slow you down when you need to be slowed down, and they’re still around long after the boxes are unpacked.

That’s the kind of agent worth holding out for.

If you’re starting to think about a move and want someone who’ll be in your corner the whole way through, I’d love to chat.

There’s a reason the best time to sell your home in West Des Moines is when buyers are most active. 👀

And right now, buyers are motivated in ways that will change as summer goes on.

The families planning to move before the new school year starts are already shopping.

They’re pre-approved, touring on weekends, and ready to write offers.

If selling your home in West Des Moines (or anywhere in the metro) has been on your mind, this is your sign to at least have the conversation.

Message me and let’s talk through what makes sense for your specific situation.

Inspired by the greatest rom-com of our time.

Most people going into a real estate transaction already know the basics.

But there are a few that catch people off guard...

Opening a new credit card or furnishing your new living room before closing can actually flag your loan and put the whole deal at risk.

A job change, even a good one, can do the same thing.

And going in with a low offer “just to see” often just signals to the seller that you’re not serious.

The good news: all of this is avoidable with the right guidance going in.

If you’re thinking about buying in the Des Moines metro this year, send me a DM before you start.

A little preparation at the beginning will save you from any heartbreak at the end.
