MEET THE 1 PERCENT LISTS EVOLUTION
TEAM OF REALTORS
Born and raised in Iowa, Ben has been serving central Iowa and the Des Moines metro since earning his real estate license in 2012. He quickly became a top producer at his former agency by gaining the trust and respect of his clients and peers. Still, he believed there was a more efficient way to provide real estate services to the community, so in 2016 Ben earned his broker’s license and opened his own discount brokerage 1 Percent Lists Evolution. Ben is a highly ambitious and driven individual, and it’s his passion for helping others which drives him to stay up with current market trends and all the best ways to serve his clients.
"I, along with my wife Jordan, love helping people and are very passionate about real estate. We're always striving to learn and grow as realtors, and as a brokerage. We knew joining 1 Percent Lists would better allow us to provide real value to people’s lives. Jordan and I believe that by offering a full-service real estate experience for less, we're truly doing what’s right for our clients." ~ Ben

I have been helping people achieve their goals of selling and buying homes since 2012. It has not only been a career for me, but a passion being able to help and serve my clients. Having made several moves with my family over the years, both across the country and across town, I realize that a house is not a just a home because of how many rooms it has or what color the walls and carpets are. Rather, it is a feeling you get when you walk in the door. The way the home makes you feel at ease and how you can see yourself there. I can appreciate the joys and stresses that a move can have on both the first time home buyer and even the most seasoned of home buyers. Likewise, how stressful it can be for both the first time home seller and the seasoned home seller. It is important to have someone on your side that you can count on to help you through the process. Let me put my knowledge of Ankeny and the entire Des Moines Metro to work for you, because this is more than just about purchasing or selling real estate. It is about finding someplace to call your home. Let me show you my approach to real estate that is built on personal touches, deals that benefit both sides of the transaction with an outcome of positive results. I will utilize the latest technologies, market research and business strategies to exceed your expectations. More importantly, I will listen to you and that means we find solutions that are tailored to you. Give me a call and discover how you can save money and still receive the benefit of full service and let me help you get your home sold and save you money.
A NEW WAY
OF SELLING HOMES
Right around this time Amazon, Netflix, and other huge companies were acting as a hugely disruptive force in the areas of retail and entertainment. Their business models are extremely similar despite filling different needs. They seek to be very low cost, very low operative expenses, and high customer satisfaction.
Other companies followed suit throughout all forms of commerce and entertainment. It didn’t matter what service you needed or what product you wanted to purchase people were fighting to sell it to you faster, cheaper, and with a higher level of customer satisfaction. That is unless you needed real estate services.
Realizing this the decision was made in late 2015 to offer a low-cost solution to the general public and not make commission savings exclusive to only local builders. After countless hours spent examining real estate brokerage models, marketing and other costs, the idea was formed to list homes for only 1%.
Although there is no "set percentage", 1% is about 1/3rd of the traditional listing fee. We knew we could offer a high level of customer service and marketing for about 1/3rd of the typical Realtor listing fees as long as we focused on those same principles as the other successful companies mentioned earlier, but this time a disruptive change in real estate. We had to increase our sales volume, but more importantly, we had to retain a high level of customer satisfaction.
With those goals in mind, 1 Percent Lists was formed.
Quickly growing, 1 Percent Lists not only is now supporting home buyers and saving sellers thousands of dollars across the country. Follow the below links to see all of the homes for sale in each respective community.
