Trusted, knowledge and experienced full-time Broker in the Ankeny/Des Moines metro. I believed that real estate is more than just buying and selling property, it is a relationship business. Developing long-term relationships with clients and providing the highest-level of service available is my goal.
Broker Associate
Designation: SRES
Since 2003, I have been helping people find their dream homes. My passion for real estate is obvious to every client.
For me, real estate is a relationship business, not a job. It’s always been my top priority to have open communication and availability to my clients and to exceed their expectations every day.
I’ve built strong relationships with those who serve as resources to not only me, but my clients. These connections, coupled with my extensive knowledge, help meet the varying needs of my clients. No matter what lifestyle or budget, I will match you with your ideal home-providing you with extraordinary customer service from start to finish.
