Downtown Des Moines Real Estate

We first met Shauna at a property showing in our early efforts to locate a property. We were assisting our son, who was very busy with his work right now, in locating a property. Shauna took the time to understand in detail his unique requirements in a new home (including a very limited budget). Shauna searched the markets daily and when appropriate, communicated possible matching opportunities. She showed a great deal of patience, advised us in a very expert manor and assisted in closing on a w…

Bob Darr helped my wife and myself at a time I was having health problems, he kept us informed about our best possibilities, and worked at finding the best deal for both parties involved. He also went out of his way to make it easier on me to get things signed. I would not hesitate to contact Bob again. 

Wow! Made selling a house such a breeze! Shauna was professional and personal! She never made me feel uncomfortable and helped me every step of the way! She explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. She also was extremely communicative and easy to reach to answer any of my questions at all times. She definitely help me got the best price for my property. Highly recommended!!!!

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…

Shauna Smith has set a new standard in the real estate industry. Shauna marketed our property, using a professional photographer at no cost to us which showed our home in its best light. Shauna gave us feedback following each viewing and we had a signed offer within 48 hours. There had been a couple of issues with an overly aggressive buyers realtor, but Shauna buffered us from any unnecessary stress and ultimately a mutually beneficial outcome was achieved. We didn’t need to lift a finger and a…

Bob is fantastic to work with. Very knowledgeable and helpful to clients. I would highly recommend him.

Sold a Single Family home in 2014 for approximately $125K in Union Park, Des Moines, IA.

Tim was always up front and professional. He did what we thought would be impossible and got our house sold within our deadline and on our terms. He is very knowledgeable and makes good use of his resources. He is not just a real estate salesman but a marketing specialist.

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…
