Backed by 30+ years of professional marketing and sales expertise, I have taken my passion for working with people, negotiating deals, and my love for the rich quality of life in the Greater Des Moines area and built my real estate business on one guiding principle - always do the right thing, no matter what. It is truly an honor to lead families and individuals through the intricacies of buying or selling a home or investing in real estate. I am in my 12th year as a REALTOR and I love what I do.
I am a Keller Williams Luxury REALTOR and have a broad range of experience selling homes from $1.5 million+ to representing first-time home buyers, representing clients through building a custom home to acreage and townhome/condo sales. This wide range of experience allows me to efficiently guide my clients through their home buying or selling situation, advising them through challenging negotiations and keeping their lifestyle and financial interests as the top priority.
My past clients will tell you that I am an excellent communicator who follows up and doesn’t miss details, a savvy negotiator with their best interest at heart, that I use aggressive marketing strategies to ensure we sell our homes in the quickest amount of time and at the highest dollar and that I run my business by the highest of ethical standards with an emphasis on uncompromising integrity.
I am a lifelong Iowan and blessed with a wonderful family - my husband, Joe, and I have been married for 27 years. Together we are investor partners in the Keller Williams Greater Des Moines, Ankeny and Ames market centers. We have two daughters, Isabela and Zoe, who I couldn’t be more proud of, and one spunky black lab, who on some days is sure lucky she’s so cute. I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, fitness, nutritional cooking, volunteering in the community, our church, and schools, and cheering on our kids in their school and sporting activities.
A huge passion of mine is helping save babies through Count the Kicks™, a public health program I co-founded to reduce infant stillbirth rates. Count the Kicks™ was inspired after the full-term stillbirth of our daughter in 2003. I am proud to say that since the launch of Count the Kicks™ Iowa’s stillbirth rate has decreased by 30% and it is now a national maternal health program.
