Meet Mike
Our owner Mike is going on his 10th year as a Realtor and has seen it all with sellers, buyers, new construction, resale, and investment properties.
Mike's favorite part of the Realtor role is helping his clients find the best home for them and ensuring clients get top dollar for selling their home - his experience in the industry definitely comes In handy when negotiating deals.
It goes without saying that if Mike isn't out and about for his clients, he's most definitely on the golf course or spending time with his wife Allie and their 3-year old daughter Lola

Meet Jon
Jon has been a Realtor for 7 years is well-versed in working with sellers, buyers, and new construction. In fact, his favorite part of the Realtor role is meeting new clients and getting to see all of the neat architecture that Des Moines has to offer.
Apparently, our team has a flair for sports because in his glory days Jon was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies out of high school and pitched for the team for 4 years. With that being said, transitioning to Real Estate was a no-brainer for Jon - the only difference is he's not looking for a strikeout - he's most definitely hitting one home run after another for his clients.

Meet Nathan
Growing up in small town Iowa, Nathan was introduced to teamwork, hospitality, and family values early on. He watched his father, a Dentist, grow his own practice and implement hard work and dedication into his life daily. This is something that stuck very close to Nathan. Attending the University of Iowa, Nathan attained his BA in Finance while playing for the Hawkeyes football team—a key point where hard work and dedication was again implemented into his life.
Early on Nathan found that he had a love for Real Estate. Being a “numbers guy” he found that he loved the challenge of finding the best deal, or computing a better price. Combining that with his love of homes and helping people, his career path in Real Estate just seemed to make sense. Nathan began his career right after graduating college and moving to the Des Moines metro, and is going on year 10! His finance background allows him to specialize in investment properties and new construction as he partners with Cedarbrook Builders and is New Construction Certified.
When he isn’t helping clients you can find him on one of the many Des Moines metro golf courses, cheering on the Hawkeyes, or spending time with friends and family. Nathan lives in Waukee with his wife Anastasia and daughter Amelia.
