About

My goal as both a realtor and a person is "to treat people well". Professional service with an emphasis on guidance and planning and dedication to my clients’ needs is top priority! My greatest strength as a realtor is my ability to “look outside the box”—whether it is developing an unusual marketing strategy or helping show the potential in a property with my decorating and staging skills, I won’t just sit back and wait for things to happen.

I grew up in Indianola, and after leaving for a few years to live in Colorado, I returned to raise my family. My husband Keith and 4 amazing children (Sebastian (11), Nathaniel (9), Mirabelle (3), Ethan (2)) are so supportive and inspiring!

After 7 years of growing my business, I partnered to open RE/MAX Innovations, which I co-own and serve as Managing Broker. With RE/MAX Innovations, I have the ability to custom-tailor marketing strategies and provide the very best service to my clients!

Recommendations:
“Misty has great attention to detail, not only in the homes that she lists and sells, but to her clients and what their anticipated home needs are and will become.” August 20, 2008

Brian Swanson, Home Mortgage Consultant, Wells Fargo Home Mortgage

“Through the relationships she had built over years in the industry, Misty was able to sell our home in less than one week! She let us know what to expect throughout the selling/buying process so there were no surprises. I would recommend Misty based on her depth of knowledge, professional demeanor, and commitment to each individual she serves.” June 4, 2008

Barb Ranck

“Under another agent, my home's listing languished for three months with little to no activity. It was very frustrating. When I moved my listing to Misty, we had 2 offers the day after the sign went in the ground! I can't guarantee those results for everyone, but I can say I won't list with anyone else again!”

-Steve Birdwell



“Misty is fantastic to work with. Misty went above and beyond with helping us get moved to Iowa, once we got here we did run into some unexpected problems, not due to Misty, but she helped us through every step. She could not have done a better job for us. Not only does Misty know her stuff, but she practices it. Misty is not only a great realtor, but a great person. I would recommend her to anyone.”
