Escrow Accounts in a Nutshell

Bought a Single Family home in 2012 for approximately $225K in Waveland Park, Des Moines, IA.

Spent over a year looking at properties with Tim as my buyers agent. Tim was a great educator on the home buying process. Tim was willing to meet at my convenience. He made me a priority, and let me work through my indecisiveness, without being pushy or impatient. Best part was that you could get a hold of him if not immediately, within an hour or two. After I purchased a property, he continued to…

Shauna did an excellent job of consulting with me and my family about how we should prepare our property for market and, once it was ready for market, how we wanted to show and list our property for the best possible exposure. Also, she did an excellent job of representing my family’s interests during the negotiation stage leading up to finalizing the sale.

Very helpful and answered all of my questions timely. I would recommend this Realtor. He took the time to get to know us and help us find the perfect house we were looking for. -Tara Determann

Bought a Single Family home in 2013 for approximately $100K in Bloomfield-Allen, Des Moines, IA

I had the pleasure of working with Timothy and his staff during the late summer and fall looking for a new home. I found Timothy to be a refreshing change from the other realtors I’d worked with in the past. He was particularly attentive to my needs, as opposed to trying to sell me his listings. At every possible turn he went out of his way to make sure I was in a good place at that particular…

Bought a Single Family home in 2019 in West Des Moines, IA. Tim helped my wife and I find our first home back in 2009. He got to know us and figured out what we were looking for, and he found the perfect house for us. Over the next few years he helped us buy an apartment building and two other houses, and last year when we decided to sell one of the houses  he made the selling process easy and fast. The things I like best about working with Tim are his deep understanding of both the local hou…

When I needed to sell my rental property two hours away from my home, I turned to Shauna Smith and the Timothy Schutte Real Estate Team. Due to distance, Shauna had to coordinate getting the keys, cleaning the unit, final inspections and repairs. She kept me informed every step the way with frequent calls, text messages and emails. She was knowledgeable about the market and priced the unit perfectly to get me more than I dreamed I could get and get a purchase agreement in less than a week. Her e…
