I'm a residential Realtor within the Greater Des Moines market. A team player that chooses to partner with my clients for a joint effort in achieving your real estate goals... and I prefer to have a good time along the way! Being goal driven, one of the most important things to me is to enjoy what I'm doing and whom I'm working with; Century 21 and A|R Real Estate team members are a big part of that goal as well. Dynamic with high integrity, offering great tools to get the job done for my clients in the most professional and efficient manner. Working in the real estate world is fast paced, ever changing, challenging and overall, a great time! I thrive on assisting my clients in making educated and informed home buying & selling decisions; to be their confidant, cheerleader and trusted advisor; and make sure that their overall real estate transaction is a positive and empowered experience. I am also well versed in new construction having represented local area builders. I’d love to make your home dream a reality, give me a shout! ** Also important in my world is the concept of "more than more". Digging deep and having more in our lives than just more of this or that. So... I've selected my two daughters' orphanage as my give back and a portion of all of my commission on all sales goes toward enhancing the lives of the children at Jonathans House for Orphans in the Central African Republic (www.jonathanshouse.org). So, by working with A|R Real Estate you are automatically a part of the give back. Yay, you!
