SRES® Certified CPCU® Insurance Expert 10+ Years Property Adjuster 📍 Polk, Dallas, Warren Counties

What's in the Guide

Six pages of specific, Iowa-focused answers to the questions executors don't know to ask — until a claim gets denied or a policy lapses.

Why This Guide Comes From Someone Different

Most real estate guides on inherited property are written by agents who learned the topic in a weekend continuing-ed course. This one isn't.

Sarah Ingles spent more than a decade as a property insurance adjuster before she ever sold a house. She earned the CPCU® designation — the gold standard in property and casualty insurance, granted by The Institutes — and later added the SRES® (Seniors Real Estate Specialist) certification from the National Association of REALTORS®. She is the only realtor in the Des Moines metro with both SRES® and CPCU® credentials.

Today Sarah's practice is exclusively focused on probate, inherited property, and senior transitions across Polk, Dallas, and Warren Counties. That narrow focus is intentional: the families she serves are usually mid-grief, mid-paperwork, and out-of-state — and they need someone who already knows where the trapdoors are. The vacant home insurance gap is one of the biggest, and one of the most expensive. This guide exists because she watched it cost families thousands of dollars before they even got to the closing table.
