About YAHAIRA ESPINOSA

Des Moines became my home 23 years ago after moving here from Mexico with my family. Growing up as an immigrant, my family did not have the resources right away to purchase a home, so we lived in apartment buildings my whole childhood. I shared a bedroom with my brother until we both needed our own space. My parents worked hard to purchase our first house and I can still remember the excitement of moving into a place we could call “home.” As a Realtor it is now such an honor to bring that same excitement to my clients! 

I began my real estate career as a Transaction Coordinator, helping multiple agents and their clients with the details necessary to ensure smooth, no-surprises closings. This experience helped me master the “behind-the-scenes” intricacies of real estate. My work as a Transaction Coordinator ignited my passion for the real estate industry and an eagerness to help more people achieve their goal of homeownership. My years of working in the customer service field have helped me gain confidence in serving individuals to best meet their needs and finding creative solutions to any problems that might pop up along the way.  

I am a graduate of Grandview University with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. When I am not assisting my team or helping clients, I am spending time with my family or chasing after my 1.5-year-old daughter. We enjoy reading, traveling, trying new restaurants around town, community events or simply binge-watching episodes of Ms. Rachel Baby. Our typical Sunday consists of church, brunch and Target runs. I truly believe real estate found me & this is where my purpose lies.
