About

I have been helping people buy and sell homes in Iowa since 2009. When you work with me and my team, expect things to feel a little different — right from the beginning. More comfortable. Less hype, no pressure. It's about you…not us. We invest time into getting to know you and your goals so we can explore your options, discuss potential outcomes, and determine if the time is right for you to buy or sell your home. We are authentic and transparent which is why more than 80% of our business comes from referrals and repeat clients. We are one of the top teams in the state of Iowa! My team & I are committed to you! We take a hands on approach and the extra time to explain all aspects of your purchase or sale without rushing through the process.

About

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.

About

I am a wife, mother, grandmother, volunteer and Realtor. It is my goal to make the home buying/selling process as fun and easy as possible. If you don't like aggressive salespeople, I'm the agent for you. If you are interested in listing your current home, I can help you to price it, stage it and get it SOLD! My success is measured by your happiness. Each client has unique requirements and I try to help my clients succeed in their goals while at the same time dealing with the realities of the market. I work with people in a way that honors their needs and personal style. I also ask a lot of questions to zero in on your priorities. I'm in this business for the long haul and I work hard to establish long term relationships with my clients. Knowing the market, and continually educating yourself are important in my business. I'm proud to say that I am a Certified Residential Specialist. Only 3% of all realtors achieve that goal. For reviews: https://conniebrown.iowarealty.com/testimonials
