✨ U N D E R C O N T R A C T ✨

Months of searching for the perfect land —sending options, walking properties, and really listening to what my buyers needed for their future.

It was never about just finding land, it was about finding the 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 land.

This 67-acre property in Cumming, Iowa came along, checked every box, and now is officially under contract 🌾

Congrats S & R! 🥂
Can’t wait to see this land become 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦. ♥️ ...

✨ Mother’s Day weekend in Des Moines = coffee, sunshine, and greenhouse runs ☕️🪴☀️💐

🌸 Save this local guide to some of my favorite Des Moines area garden centers for your next flower run. 🏃🏽‍♀️

👉🏽 While the Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden & Better Homes & Gardens Test Center are not traditional garden centers, they are worth of honorable mention! The Botanical Garden is hosting its popular annual Spring Garden Market this weekend with locally grown plants and vendors; and the Better Homes Test Garden is one of the prettiest spots in Des Moines for flower content and inspiration photos. 📸💕

☀️ Spring in Ankeny is the busiest time to buy or sell, and myself and my team are seeing this first-hand! 🏡

Homeowners are competing with more listings than any other time of year, and buyers have more to choose from.

Homeowners who come in prepared with data backed pricing are walking away with strong offers. The ones who wing it will be doing price cuts in May.

Hopeful buyers, this is a great window!
Yes, there’s competition. But there’s also choice.
Find homes that have room to negotiate and move decisively.

Whether you’re buying or selling this spring, send me a message! Let’s build a plan around what the market is doing right now.
