First Home Partners

A Smarter Way to Sell Your Home

Skip the stress. Maximize your return. Sell on your terms.

First Home Partners offers a flexible, lower-commission way to sell your home without the hassle of staging, public listings, yard signs, or marketing on sites like Zillow. Our private approach connects you with qualified buyers through our REMAX network, giving you a more efficient, discreet, and controlled selling experience.

Quiet Listings, Real Results

For homeowners who want discretion while maximizing their net proceeds.

Thanks to updated real estate compliance rules and expanded listing options, we can now help you sell your home through an Office Exclusive Listing. This method keeps your property off the MLS and major listing sites while still making it available to highly motivated buyers through our network for a period of time.

Here’s why homeowners love this route:

  • Privacy First – No yard signs, no public exposure.

  • Test the Market – Set a price without making it public.

  • No “Days on Market” Clock – Your listing stays private until you’re ready.

We Already Have Buyers for Homes Like Yours

REMAX Real Estate Center includes 65 Central Iowa professionals actively working with buyers looking to purchase a home near an elementary school in West Des Moines or Waukee. Most are first-time or move-up buyers who have been patiently waiting for properties around these school districts to become available.

We also represent employees working for central Iowa companies who offer our homeownership assistance benefit as part of their employee benefits package. These employees are looking to take advantage of this benefit and the financing flexibility it provides during a time of high interest rates.

Between 2020 and 2024, home prices surged 42.2%. In Iowa, prices climbed another 4.7% from March 2024 to March 2025 (Zillow). That growth is now stabilizing. Selling today may help you realize the gains from your home’s appreciation before the market shifts.

Why Sell Now?

Concerned About Buying in a High-Rate Market?

We’ve got you covered. When you sell your home and purchase your next one through us, you also gain access to our homeownership assistance benefit, a powerful tool to help offset today’s higher interest rates with an 18-month refinance period at no cost to you.

We Move at Your Pace

If we don’t connect you with the right buyer privately through our REMAX agent network, we’ll transition your property to a full-service MLS listing—no disruption to your timeline, no pressure to rush.
