OUR MISSION
At Mr. Moto Realty, our mission is to deliver the highest level of value and professional service we can, built around each client’s needs. Every recommendation starts with your goals, your timeline, and your situation, not a one-size-fits-all script.
We’re also building a different kind of real estate team. We believe the traditional agent model leaves too many gaps, so we’ve designed ours around innovative marketing, in-house services, and a progressive, forward-thinking approach to how a team should work. The result is a real estate experience that feels more connected, more efficient, and more personal.
We help buyers find homes in:
…along with other communities across Polk, Dallas, Warren, and Madison counties.
THE MR. MOTO ADVANTAGE
Most real estate agents rely on a long list of outside vendors to get a home ready, listed, and sold. Every handoff adds time. Mr. Moto Realty is built differently. Through vertical integration, we bring the key pieces of a real estate transaction under one roof, from administrative oversight to construction, repairs, cleaning, and marketing. Fewer handoffs mean fewer delays and a shorter path from your first call to a finished result.
01
We own a local construction company, which gives us a real understanding of the full real estate envelope: structure, systems, finishes, and what inspectors and buyers notice. That means practical advice on repairs, realistic cost expectations, and the ability to get work done without waiting on an outside contractor’s schedule.
02
Our in-house transaction coordinator keeps contracts, deadlines, documents, and communication with lenders, title companies, and other agents on track. You get one organized team watching every detail from contract to closing.
03
Photography, videography, and drone photography are handled in-house. There’s no waiting for an outside photographer’s availability, and every home gets visuals designed to stand out online, where most buyers start their search.
04
Our in-house social media and marketing department builds a promotion plan for each property, using video, social platforms, and targeted online marketing to reach more of the right people.
05
Mr. Moto Realty is part of a family of local businesses, including our forward-thinking, relationship-driven coffee company, Growth Coffee Company. Over the years, these businesses have helped us build relationships across Central Iowa that many agents don’t have. When we need a buyer, a vendor, or a quick answer, we usually know who to call.
06
From administrative oversight to repairs, cleaning, and decluttering, our team and trusted network fill the gaps that often slow a transaction down. For sellers, that can mean a shorter path from deciding to sell to going live on the market. For buyers, it means faster answers and a smoother path to closing.
OUR PROCESS
We keep our buying process simple, so you always know what’s next.
1
It starts with a call, text, or form submission. We learn the basics about what you’re looking for and your timeline, then set up a time to meet.
1
We talk through your budget, must-haves, preferred areas, and timeline, and explain how the buying process works from start to finish.
1
Before touring homes, we sign a written buyer agreement. It explains the services we provide and how buyer agent compensation works, so everyone is on the same page.
1
We can share contacts for local lenders, so you know your budget and can move quickly when the right home comes up.
1
We set up showings, share listings that match your criteria, and help you compare homes and communities across the metro.
1
We write and negotiate your offer and explain each part of the purchase agreement before you sign.

Our in-house transaction coordinator manages inspections, appraisal, and deadlines through closing day, so nothing slips through the cracks.
BEFORE YOU BUY
A home’s listing photos only tell part of the story. Mr. Moto Realty is affiliated with a local construction company owned by our team, including an Iowa-registered general contractor who is fully insured and has hands-on experience in the trades.
That helps buyers spot potential repair needs early, think through updates they may want to make, and get realistic cost expectations before making an offer. After closing, our affiliated team can also help with repairs or renovations if you choose.
Some buyers have their own contractors, and we’re happy to work alongside them. We always recommend a professional home inspection before you buy.
AFTER CLOSING
Our relationship doesn’t end at the closing table. Once you’re in your new home, our team is still here to help.
Whether you need a contractor, a recommendation for a local service, or a check-in on your home’s value, you can count on a team that stays connected long after the keys are handed over.
