About

My love for real estate started in 1999 when I bought my first rental property. In 2005, I took the leap and became a Realtor. In 2020 I created REAL ADVANTAGE PARTNERS - YOUR ALL HUSTLE, NO HASSLE REAL ESTATE TEAM! One thing all 5 of us have in common- we absolutely LOVE what we do! We dont mind the long hours and answering our phones night and day. When you choose to work with a REAL ADVANTAGE PARTNER, you have 4 more professional agents always on stand by! We understand buying & selling property is both exciting and scary. We will take the time to educate you, keep it fun, and protect you from the 1000s of things that could go wrong along the way. We promise an ALL HUSTLE, NO HASSLE experience!

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
