Natalie's Story: When I got my dream job in Des Moines, Iowa at Drake Law School, I reached out to my future colleagues asking for a recommendation for a realtor. Recommendations poured in, and one caught my eye. A colleague who had just sold his house recommended the realtor who represented his buyer--on the other side of the table. I quickly called Carolyn Lynner to ask for help buying a house in Des Moines. For the next year, I worked with Carolyn and found a charming and adorable house less than a mile from where she told me she lived herself. She met my dad, sister, and friends who came to help me house hunt. Everyone who meets Carolyn likes her, and my family was no different. Anyway, the house that I bought needed a lot of yard work, and Carolyn gave me a credit to use for a gardener to help me get the yard under control. The gardener, Janie Ward, started talking about another client of hers who she wanted to set me up with. I was hesitant until she told me the man was Carolyn's son, and then I thought, "well, why not? Carolyn Lynner's son must be a pretty good guy." He started texting me and we agreed to go out to lunch at the Des Moines Art Center and the rest is history. Andrew's story: Our gardener set us up.
