AGENT SPOTLIGHT
🤝 Known for: Being personable, responsive, and real. Building genuine relationships, clear communication, and making every client feel confident, comfortable, and cared for from day one to closing day.
📍 Favorite part of Greater DSM or Iowa: All of it. Big-city energy tucked into small-town streets, neighborhoods with real personality, and no two blocks ever feeling the same.
🏡🔑 Focuses on: Helping buyers, sellers, and investors navigate residential and commercial real estate with market-driven strategies, strong negotiation, and a relationship-first approach. From finding a family’s next home to securing the right space for a growing business.
🎨👕 Fun fact: When I’m not selling homes, I’m running my custom apparel business and turning ideas into merch, gifts, and small-business magic.
🔨 Dream home upgrade: A large barndo-style building, not attached to my home, built specifically for my business.
