“We worked with Megan in selling our acreage in Earlham, Iowa and were very happy with her level of professionalism, communication, and the overall experience was extremely positive. Megan was very thoughtful in providing insight into positioning our home for sale and we used her feedback to help get the home ready for that sale. We also worked with Nichole through the process and she was also a true pleasure to work with...she was professional, responsive, and provided good insights for us, especially since it had been awhile since our last home sale. I would highly recommend Megan and her team if you are considering a sale or purchase of a home!”

Their expertise, professionalism, and knowledge of the Des Moines metro market made the entire process smooth and stress-free. From start to finish, Megan and Nichole provided valuable guidance, kept us informed, and genuinely cared about helping us make the best decisions.

“My husband and I had an excellent experience with Megan and Nichole while purchasing our first home together in Iowa. Megan came highly recommended by a member of our family who had previously used Megan as his realtor. We also worked with Nichole on many of the details of the home purchasing process. We couldn't be happier with the service they both provided.”
-
“We were extremely happy with Megan Hill Mitchum, who did an outstanding job selling our home. We interviewed several top-performing real estate agents in the Des Moines area (ranked by annual sales) and chose Megan for three reasons. First, she truly understood our home’s market value, and her suggested listing price aligned with the appraisals we had obtained. As a result, we SOLD our home for more than $100,000 above the LIST prices other agents had recommended. Second, she focused on marketing the property to other agents (via an agent-specific open house) rather than just to the general public, to better target qualified buyers. Third, she handled all communication directly, so we received prompt, knowledgeable responses throughout the process. We would definitely use Megan for future real estate transactions; in our experience, she’s the best real estate professional we’ve ever worked with.”
-
“We have worked with Megan as our Realtor for many years and have always been extremely happy with her and her team. They are professional, knowledgeable, and provide excellent advice on how to best prepare and market a home for sale. Their expertise and experience in the real estate industry are truly unmatched. Megan and Nicole were always readily available, responsive, and quick to answer any questions we had throughout the process. Their guidance and support made buying and selling a home a much smoother experience. We highly recommend Megan and her team to anyone considering buying or selling a home. You will be in excellent hands from start to finish.”
-

“Megan team: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We connected with Megan after a rough experience with a realtor from “click here to see this house on Zillow”. As first-time home buyers, we had many questions, wanted to see a lot of different properties in many places, and needed guidance. Megan and Nichole provided that and beyond. They were patient with our questions and answered everything we needed in the language we understood as new home buyers. Every listing we wanted to see, they made it happen quickly. They guided us through each step, and with their honest feedback and dedication, we found our dream home. To hear their business has been built solely on word of mouth amazed us when we first heard it. Now that we’ve known them for months, we can’t count how many people we have recommended Megan and team. You can always tell the difference between those who are good at their job and those who are good and love what they do—they stand out. That’s Megan and her crew.”

-
“I was referred to Megan by a close realtor friend, and I’m very glad I was. I was told she's the go to person for the luxury market in DSM. My home had previously been listed with another agent and was priced several hundred thousand dollars too high, which significantly impacted its time on the market. Megan came in with a thoughtful, competitive pricing and marketing strategy that ultimately positioned my home correctly. Megan handled my complicated situation with care, and kept everyone informed throughout the process. Megan really brought her expertise to the table and was very professional and kind. She was very helpful post sale as well. I would absolutely recommend her, especially for luxury home sales.”
-
“Megan is very knowledgeable about the real estate in the area. She is also extremely helpful. Whenever I had a question I would have the answer in the same day. She also took care of issues and concerns before she was asked. She knows how to negotiate to get her clients the best deal. To top it all off she is a lot of fun, Megan made the whole experience easy. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to find their perfect house or sell their family home.”
-
“Payton did an amazing job of helping us sell our house. From the first meeting we were very impressed with her knowledge of how to prep our house and what the whole process will look like. She worked so hard to help us sell it quickly, and supported us along the way. She was so great at communicating promptly regarding all showings and any questions we had. We would strongly recommend her to anyone!”

“We had an excellent experience working with Megan and her team on both the buying and selling side. This was our third time going through the process, so we came in with experience and expectations — and Megan exceeded both. Her communication was outstanding. We always knew what was happening and what to expect, which made the entire process feel smooth and well-managed. Megan’s market knowledge and strong network were invaluable, especially in a competitive environment. Thanks to her advice and guidance, we won a competitive offer on our purchase, and both transactions closed smoothly. She provided thoughtful, honest input without pressure, offering clear direction and support when it mattered most. We truly appreciated Megan’s professionalism, experience, and personal approach, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted real estate partner.”

“Payton made our whole experience, with selling our house, and purchasing a new one, incredible! She was so helpful from our first meeting, talking about getting our house ready, to pricing it for the market, supporting and advisising us during the showing period, all the way through closing. Payton was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and worked so hard to help us sell. She was very communicative, available, and knew exactly how to help. When looking for a new house, she guided us through the buying process so well. She was available to show us houses, and we ended up finding the one we loved! The whole process seemed seamless, and handled so well. There were no errors, no miscommunication, no false promises or surprises.She was so amazing, we couldn't imagine a better buying and selling situation.

“We moved our mother out of her home of 61 years and were tasked with selling her home from out of state.

“We have known Megan personally for years, even before she was a realtor and knew she was the only one we'd trust to work with us as we considered a move, after 23 years in the same house/location. She did an excellent job of exploring homes with us and narrowing down our true wishlist/needs in a home and its property. She is skillfully talented in evaluating homes to ensure their value is on point.

Simply couldn't ask for more. Look no further if you are in the market for a realtor, they are the best.”

“Would highly recommend Megan Hill Mitchum, Nichole Johnson and their overall team. I'm a real estate agent myself specializing in farmland and felt Megan and her Team would more equipped and specialized in the residential real estate market. We built a new house and coordinating the schedules between moving into the new house and selling our existing house was important as we didn't want to move more than once. We appreciated the advice related to the timing of our listing, the listing price and market knowledge, and the help with details such as staging/home improvement suggestions.

“Megan was amazing. She picked us up at the airport and was ready to show us houses. Through two offers she worked diligently for our interests. While we were in escrow she helped with room measurements and permission to have contractors to view up coming projects. I think the best part of working with Megan was her knowledge of the community, builders, and her future forward thinking. And she knew what we wanted before we knew what we wanted. I cannot sing her praises enough! Kady Kloster”
