What gets built today helps shape what Central Iowa looks like tomorrow.

And honestly, that's one of my favorite parts of being in this business.

Commercial real estate is rarely just about the building.

It's about what is happening around the building.

That's something I love watching and something I think every business owner and investor should be paying attention to.

For buyers: Don't assume you have to rush.

For sellers: Pricing and presentation matter.

For everyone: Know your numbers before you make your move.

That's where having a local agent in your corner helps.

I guess we’re a family commercial real estate team now.

The kids helped me lease a building last year… or at least that’s what they tell everyone.

So I figured I’d put them back to work.

This time: Waukee. Great location. Flexible space. Lots of possibilities.

And a Dairy Queen across the street.

The kids may actually know what they’re doing. 🤷‍♂️😂

Saw some fun things over the weekend out in the market! A tree eating a fence and a backyard meant for eating! There are some really good homes out there. Some amazing features… and let’s be honest a few that need some work! I got into 2 multiple offer situations with clients this weekend.. things are still moving! BUT.. it has to be priced well and in good shape! Buyers WANT to move they don’t HAVE to move!

Messi and great real estate agents have a lot in common.

When things get tough, they stay calm.

When everyone else starts to panic, they find solutions.

When it feels like the game is over, they remind you there's still time on the clock.

Inspections.
Appraisals.
Financing delays.
Negotiations.

Just like Argentina in the World Cup...

It's never over until the final whistle.

Or in real estate terms...

Until you're sitting at the closing table.

Everyone knows Iowa's lakes are great, but if you're looking at the total package of home values, amenities, cleanliness, family activities, and actually enjoying your time on the water, here's my Top 5:

🥇 #1 – Lake Okoboji
The king of Iowa lakes. Highest home values, restaurants, entertainment, golf, concerts, shopping, and endless things to do. The downside? Summer weekends can feel like downtown Chicago on water. Great lake life, but not always the most relaxing family boating experience.

🥈 #2 – Lake Panorama
My sleeper pick for best overall family lake in Iowa. Cleaner water, calmer boating, incredible home values, golf course, beaches, and a private lake atmosphere that feels much more manageable for families with younger kids.

🥉 #3 – Clear Lake
A great mix of affordability and amenities. Plenty of restaurants, parks, events, and activities while still feeling easier to navigate than Okoboji. The downtown and family atmosphere are hard to beat.

4️⃣ – Saylorville Lake
Not known for lake homes like the others, but if you're in Central Iowa it's tough to beat for accessibility, beaches, biking trails, camping, and family recreation. Great option for day trips and casual boating.

5️⃣ – Lake Red Rock
Huge lake with plenty of room to spread out. Great for boating, camping, hiking, and family weekends without feeling crowded. Doesn't have the lake-home market of Okoboji or Panorama, but it wins on space and recreation.

What am I missing? Are you Team Okoboji, Team Panorama, or is there another Iowa lake that deserves a spot?

I'm still very new to the game of soccer, but I've really enjoyed learning as much as I can over the last four years. My knowledge and understanding of the game have grown tremendously.

In the beginning, I knew very little. I was mostly able to connect the dots through my extensive basketball background. There are a lot of similarities between the two sports, but there are some major differences as well.

I've always been a curious person, and with that comes a genuine love of learning new things. But I also have a very special 10-year-old soccer player of my own who has kicked me into rocket booster mode to better support, coach, and help her whenever needed.

By leaning heavily on resources, friends, and mentors around me, combined with my love and understanding of team sports, I've truly grown to love the game. I'm still growing, but I'm much more knowledgeable now about the skills, tactics, and all the little things that make soccer great.

Basketball will always have my heart, but I've caught myself referring to basketball shoes as "boots" more than once lately.

As we get excited for today's match, I couldn't help but think about how much this journey parallels my career in real estate.

Residential buying and selling is my passion, my basketball. But learning and growing on the commercial side over the last three or four years has been nothing short of amazing. Just like soccer, I couldn't do it without the support of the people around me.

There are tons of similarities between residential and commercial real estate, but at the end of the day, it all comes down to relationships and taking care of people.

Whether it's sports or real estate, nothing good happens without hard work, passion, teamwork, and practice.

Now let's go get a win.
