Meet Martha

I am a Real Estate Agent who takes real joy in finding you a home you will want to stay in for years to come. I love the hunt, connecting with other agents to stay in the loop, and getting the real info behind every potential home. Buying and selling can be enjoyable, I promise.

Before real estate, I was an editor at Better Homes & Gardens magazine and a few of its special interest publications. I'm energized by engaging with people and love working my connections, having lived in Des Moines for 30+ years.

I surround myself with a deeply experienced marketing and closing team–pros who know the business of real estate transaction work inside and out. My first career as a newspaper editor trained me to be tenacious in the pursuit of details and follow up at every step. Perseverance is where I excel. 

My husband, David, and I are still in our 1918 Waterbury two-story, where we raised two wonderful kids. Over and over, people have told me they loved working with me. We laugh, we have fun, and we get great outcomes! Let's talk.
