An Exceptional Experience
I have always followed the philosophy that client comes first, and excellent communication with clients is the cornerstone to a successful sale or purchase of your home. I made a conscious decision early in my career to not be the largest real estate company in Des Moines in order to give each client I work with the time and attention they deserve.

What Our Amazing Clients Say...
"Bob was such a pleasure to work with during the sale of our former home and during our custom homebuilding process. He worked tirelessly to ensure we received fair market value when selling our home (it sold within 3 days) and was a great advocate in ensuring we were heard and our expectations were met while building our new home. He was very organized, thorough, and knowledgeable on both sides. If we're ever in need of a Realtor in the future, we will be giving him a call again. I highly recommend him to all who are looking to sell and/or buy a home!"

"Bob was fantastic in helping me and my boyfriend find the perfect house! We told Bob what we wanted and even though the market was crazy, every single day he was on the hunt for us and working his magic to find us something special. He told us his opinion on what he liked and didn't. He also went through all of our options and how to proceed. We went through 60+ house and put offers on 15+ houses. Each offer was calculated and created by Bob within only a couple hours of seeing the house to make sure we had the best. We are incredibly grateful for his help on our first home! Thank you Bob!"

"We wanted to upgrade and move into a newer home, so we were sellers and buyers all at once. Bob made the entire process seamless. Provided pointers to prep our current home pre-sale to declutter and increase curb appeal which made our buyers fall in love quickly. We had a new neighborhood in mind and Bob helped us find the perfect one! His attention to detail, fair fees on both transactions and hustle to get us into our forever home gave us less stress with a lot going on. Professional, responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!"

"Ruby is honestly the BEST! He is incredibly knowledgeable of the market, he knows more about the Des Moines than anyone else and he is so personable. My husband and I have used Ruby to sell and help us buy ALL our homes and wouldn't consider using anyone else. He is amazing from start to finish!"

"Ruby provides superior service and attention to detail. He narrowed our search according to our desires, but also pushed us to look outside our box as well. If you are looking for some you can trust and who has high integrity, don’t look any further than Bob Ruby!!"

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question that’s not listed below? Contact us anytime.
How much do I owe upfront?
Nothing. Not a penny. Zilch. No payments are due until your home sells, or until we find your perfect home.
Is my home ready to go on the market?
There are a few factors to consider before listing your home. We can help prepare your home before it hits the market and give an accurate timeline so we can plan accordingly.
How do I figure out how to price my home?
We offer a free market analysis as well as advice on what to realistically expect based on experience, market values, historic sales and forecasts. We will give you an honest assessment before we reach an agreement.
What does a flat fee mean? Is there a catch?
No catch, just savings. You pay one simple flat fee instead of a big chunk of your equity. Same great service, same attention to detail, just more money in your pocket at the end. Kind of like skipping the overpriced water bottle at the ball park.
How fast can we sell my home?
Sometimes faster than you can pack! But seriously, timing depends on the market and your goals. We’ll help you price it right, prep it to shine, and attract serious buyers from day one.
Can I buy and sell at the same time without losing my mind?
Yes, and we’ll help keep your sanity intact. Juggling both can feel like a circus, but we’ve done this dance before and know how to time everything like pros. Deep breaths. We’ve got this.
Do I really need a realtor to buy a home?
You don’t have to, but it’s kind of like going on a road trip without GPS. Sure, you might make it, but why risk the wrong turns? We’ll help you avoid the pitfalls and make the whole process smoother, faster, even kind of fun and definitely seamless.
What if my house needs an update? Should I fix it up first?
Not always! Sometimes a little polish goes a long way, and other times buyers love a “project.” We’ll walk through it together and tell you where to spend and where to skip. Spoiler: It’s rarely the gold bathroom faucet.
Will I be working with you or passed off to someone else?
You’re stuck with us…in the best way. We believe in real relationships, not handoffs. From your first call to closing day (and probably a few texts after), we’re right here with you. You won’t need a flowchart to figure out who to call.
What makes you different from other real estate companies?
Honestly? We listen better, work harder, and skip the sales pitch. We’re here to make your move smooth, smart, and stress free. On top of building relationships, our flat fee model will save you money without sacrificing the experience – that’s kind of our thing.
