Central Iowa House Selling Specialists

We are House Selling Specialists in the Des Moines metro area from Ankeny through West Des Moines to Waukee and surrounding Central Iowa communities. Our real estate consultants focus on giving advice, tools, and services based around honesty, integrity, and a passion for helping people sell their house. We pride ourselves on communicating with our clients so that they always know what is going on, and have the information they need to make informed decisions.

We have a proven record showing that we can sell your house in less time for more money. In the past year our average number of days for a house to be on the market was 35 days. The Des Moines Area Association of Realtors average was 85 days. That means that we outperformed the competition by 59% over the year. Our average sale price to list price is 98.3%. That means that if we list your house for $100,000, on average it sells for $98,300.

We use our proven real estate systems, models, and marketing strategies to get you what you want: more money in less time, and the ability to move on to your next home. Call us today to find out how we can do this for you: 515-639-0047

Once you have listed with us, you will receive a weekly report that will give you how much interest your house has had online, how many showings you have had, the feedback from your showings, your positioning in the market, and professional advice on what can be done to get your house sold.

We also pride ourselves on being completely honest with you. We will always tell you what you need to hear, even if it is uncomfortable to hear it. We believe that being completely transparent with you allows you to get what you really want: getting to your new home while selling your house for the most amount of money the market will bear in the least amount of time.

We focus on proactively prospecting for our clients in the Des Moines real estate market and surrounding areas. That means that we will call every day to look for buyers for our sellers, or to look for houses for our buyers. We are constantly on the phone, working to get you to where you want to be.

More Paperwork!

So I thought I would drop a line to give you my thoughts on all the new laws coming into fruition over July and August nationwide. First, a little backstory. Down in Missouri there was a class action lawsuit where apparently realtors were steering their clients towards houses where they would get paid more. This […]

So, How is this Market?

I keep having the same question raised: how is this real estate market here in Des Moines, IA? I will tell you right now, it is weird. We are actually ahead of 2023, and have been (barely) all year. Year to date through May 25th, 4634 houses have sold. The same time last year, 4619 […]

I Did a Podcast!

I am just reaching out to let you know I was on a podcast recently. I got to talk about being a Realtor, what I am doing with HowToBeHappier.blog, and some talks about AI and a few quick questions as well. This was super fun, only lasts about 25 minutes, and I thought it would […]

Ryan handled my home sale as well as I could have hoped. He was attentive and available, and went out of his way regularly to make sure I had everything I needed.

Ryan was excellent. He was very responsive to any questions. He knew exactly how to leverage multiple offers.

Best Parts: 1) Clarity of the process – I don’t think I ever wondered where we were in the process, and if I did, it was due to waiting on buyers’ answers 2) Flexibility – we adjusted when we were moving, and how closing needed to happen, and you didn’t blink an eye 3) Pricing

1. What was the best part about working with Ryan? His relaxed attitude and his helpfulness. The sense that when he was working with you he was really paying attention to you and what you wanted. He had good input on what we were looking at and made good suggestions. His availability was great, he

1. What was the best part about working with Ryan? Knowing you prior to us buying a house definitely helped with our comfort level, but your personality really lends itself to allowing people to feel at ease. You knew every deadline throughout the process and were always so good about checking in before/right after to

Ryan, I feel we received the best service you had to offer. It was a pleasure working with you, this whole process went very smoothly. We were so pleased you got us full price, everything went as planned and on time. I appreciated being able to do the majority of my part online. Sandy and

1. What was the best part about working with Ryan? YOU ARE VERY ENTHUSIASTIC AND ENCOURAGING. 2. Where was their there room for improvement? I WOULD HAVE APPRECIATED MORE COMMUNICATION AFTER THE OFFER, INSTEAD OF ME WAITING AND WAITING AND HAVING TO CALL. I THINK SOME OF THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE OTHER REALTOR

1) You had nothing but wonderful and helpful advice – everything from knowing enough about building and repairs to give a good rundown before the inspector, to picking out sensible houses that helped us find one faster than we ever would have thought it would happen, to calming Lindsey when she was panicking over nothing.

1. What was the best part about working with Ryan? * He delivered! He came in, shot us straight, said what he could do for us, and then did it. He also does it with an old fashioned flair, what’s right is right and he was self sacrificing in doing so. This did not go

1. The best part about working with Ryan is that he worked. He worked to get the house sold in the winter when it is hard to sell (and even harder to sell because we had been selling by owner for a 7 months prior). He worked to smooth out the closing process when issues

1. The best part of working with you was your professional knowledge and appearance, your personable delivery and keeping us in the loop of communication, and we were happy to get the proceeds from the sale of the house. 2. Is there room for improvement? We wondered if Open House showings might help get people

Had a great experience listing my home with Ryan and his team. Everything went smoothly and he responded quickly to all my texts and emails. He provided me some great feed back on my home and I wouldn't hesitate to use him again in the future.

1. What was the best part about working with Ryan? What I usually tell people when I refer you is that you’re “the right side of aggressive.” In other words, you’re motivated to find and sell properties but not pushy. Some realtors don’t really do much beyond list a property, but you have and use

Ryan and his team blew our expectations out of the water! He helped us purchase our dream home, making it a very stress free and fun! He was willing to go the extra mile for us in any way possible. Should we ever be in the buying or selling situation again, we would use Ryan
