Buyers, let's talk about your ideal property. I love Chicago and the Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, areas; I love people, and I would love the opportunity to work with you! Josie was the listing agent for my son’s residence when he relocated to the West Coast. Since he had already moved, an agent needed to be selected without anyone in our family actually being in Cedar Rapids. I am an out-of-state attorney with extensive experience in real estate transactions, so I had high expectations. Josie exceeded my expectations. She is smart and can be counted on to be on top of what is happening. Josie offered suggestions, answered questions, and gave us the comfort level that we were in good hands. Particularly gratifying to me was her outstanding communication. - Ed Garman, Lawyer in Illinois During the winter of 2013 Josie Ashmore and her team successfully sold my mother’s house located in Cedar Rapids in less than 60 days. Moving an elderly parent from their home is an emotional experience but Josie’s team was able go from listing to closing in less than 60 days. The house had been on the market for six months with little marketing strategy other than a slide of listing price lowering. Josie took over the listing and completed an accurate market analysis which resulted in a substantial increase in listing price. Her team then staged the house to appeal to our target market and was able to produce three offers for our consideration. As a professor of marketing, I use Josie and her team in my classes as an example of how a successful sales process should be completed. I highly recommend Josie Ashmore and her associates! - Don Jones, Decorah, Iowa

Our names are Meagan Weber-Bennett & Michelle Weber-Murphy and we work together on the Twins Home Team with Keller Williams Realty…and yes, we are TWINS. 😉 Michelle and I grew up in a small town - Mechanicsville, IA. We both decided to stay close to home and attended Cornell College to obtain our Bachelor's Degree and we also had the opportunity to attend St. Ambrose University together where we received our Master's Degree in Leadership! You have probably guessed it by now...but we are blessed to be very close and love doing things together. After college, we both had various jobs. We joked that we were professional job hoppers until we found what we had a true passion for, and that is helping people and Real Estate. We have been in the business for five years now and it has been incredible. We have been blessed with the opportunity to help hundreds of families buy and sell homes and it is something we truly love to do.

The dictionary defines service as "an act of help or assistance," but I have my own definition. In my eyes, service is going one step further. How do I do that? If you're a buyer, it's simple. I help you make, not only comfortable choices, but sound financial ones as well. If you're hoping to sell, I have the expertise to help you prepare your home, in such a way that you will get the highest possible price for it. And when it comes to pricing it, it's true, any agent can offer you a free market analysis - you can get one from me too - but what that gives you is just the potential price range, for which the average house will sell. How many houses are truly average? After all, yours had to have that "special something," which made you choose it in the first place. I prefer to offer instead a no obligation, in-home consultation. Not only does that mean you will receive a far more accurate analysis, it affords me the opportunity to make more targeted marketing choices to maximize your home's potential... That's service!
Some people are very casual when it comes to signing papers that affect their finances for decades. But for those who recognize that small steps early in the game can affect major outcomes later, it's fortunate that there are professionals who dedicate themselves to learning about the process and local market conditions, and who can turn a nightmare of stress and confusion into a relatively painless experience (let's be honest). I'm an educated professional with a few years of experience in this market, and I think I've seen almost every trick and turn of the industry already. I've also had intimate experience with properties in most of these neighborhoods, making me an invaluable person to talk to when it comes to relocation to or within this area. I'm confident that I can save you not only tens of thousands of dollars, but a great deal of time and emotional energy as well. But I'm not simply a piece of hardware you can point at a house. I'm a human who laughs and smiles, and I'll take the time to find out what you really need most from me as a professional real estate agent. If you would like to know anything about my services, or if you'd like to hear about the local market from a human voice, please contact me at your convenience.
