THE AL TEAM

Buying a home will undoubtedly be one of the largest financial transactions of your life.  This makes selecting a realtor a very important decision and one that involves contemplating factors such as trust, accessibility, and experience.  We will spend many hours together, touring homes, speaking on the phone, exchanging text messages, and sharing information.  

After years in the business, I find myself wishing I would have done it sooner because, without a doubt, I was meant to be a real estate agent! Because of support from clients like you, I have been fortunate to be recognized as one of the top agents in my field.  I was selected for DMAAR’s (Des Moines Area Association of Realtors) Circle of Excellence, as well as the President’s Club at Iowa Realty (top 25 in the company of 700+), and have had the pleasure of helping hundreds of families accomplish their housing goals each year.  It’s humbling to be chosen by buyers and sellers to accomplish the “American dream”.  

It is truly an honor to be entrusted with this important purchase or sale, and to have the opportunity to successfully facilitate that process.  Most gratifying is the fact that many of my clients become like friends and family long after the transaction is complete.When I am not selling real estate, my time is spent with my family (husband Nick, son Landon, daughter Ryann, and our black Lab, Teddy).  An Illinois native, my passions inlclude Jesus, the Minnesota Vikings,  decorating and designing, jamming out to tunes in my car, and munching on chips and queso.  I’m casual by my very nature, so I’m seldom in a business suit, but I will ensure you have a fun and smooth real estate transaction.I look forward to helping you accomplish your goals!
