The Des Moines Home Search App That Puts You First

Tired of seeing "sold" homes on Zillow or getting calls from random agents? Smart Move Des Moines is the only real estate app built specifically for Central Iowa home buyers and sellers. With direct MLS access, you'll see new listings 24-48 hours before they appear on national portals—giving you a crucial head start in competitive markets like West Des Moines, Ankeny, and Waukee.

Unlike big portals that sell your information to the highest bidder, this app connects you directly to Sarah Ingles, a local SRES® certified specialist with 10+ years of property insurance expertise. Message her directly, schedule showings instantly, and access her trusted network of lenders, inspectors, and moving companies—all from one free app.

Why Zillow Isn't Enough for Des Moines Home Buyers

Big portals prioritize ad revenue over your home search. Here's what you're missing.

😤 The Zillow Experience

  • Listings are 24-48 hours behind the MLS
  • Outdated prices and "sold" homes still showing
  • Your info sold to random agents who call constantly
  • No relationship with a real local expert
  • Generic national data, not Des Moines specific

😊 The Smart Move Experience

  • Real-time MLS data — see homes first
  • Accurate, up-to-date information always
  • Direct connection to Sarah — that's it
  • Local expert with 10+ years insurance background
  • Built specifically for Central Iowa home buyers

REALTOR® SRES® | Smart Move Des Moines

I created Smart Move Des Moines because families across Central Iowa were struggling with overwhelming moves, unclear steps, and lack of communication. With 10+ years in property insurance, I saw a need for one simple place to coordinate everything.

When you download this app, you're not just getting MLS access — you're getting direct access to me. I see when you favorite properties, I can set up curated searches for you, and you can message me anytime. No random agents. No lead selling. Just me.

As an SRES® (Seniors Real Estate Specialist), I have specialized training to help families navigating downsizing, estate sales, and complex transitions. My insurance background means I spot property risks that other agents miss.
