I’m a real estate professional serving the Des Moines metro, helping buyers, sellers, and investors navigate the market with confidence. As part of the Bethany Cochran Real Estate Team at Agency Iowa, I focus on building long-term relationships and guiding clients through every step of the buying and selling process. Whether someone is purchasing their first home, upgrading to an executive property, or exploring investment opportunities, I work to provide clear communication, market insight, and a smooth experience from start to finish. Before transitioning into real estate, I spent more than two decades in corporate leadership roles, where I developed a strong foundation in negotiation, strategy, and customer service. Today I bring those same skills to my clients, ensuring they feel informed, supported, and confident in their decisions. I’m proud to serve the Des Moines community and enjoy connecting with clients, partners, and referral agents across the country.
