For me, real estate isn’t about the numbers—it’s about the relationships I’ve built and the joy of helping individuals and families find their place in new communities. My journey began on the west side of Des Moines, where my deep local knowledge and a broader range of professional skills, developed over 25 years, have made me a trusted partner in real estate across Iowa.
My career as a Realtor took off in one of the country’s most challenging markets, handling over $20 million in real estate transactions. This experience has been invaluable as I now focus on serving the Des Moines community, leveraging my background to benefit my clients here.
In working with clients, I bring not only my passion for real estate but also a solution-focused approach. I believe in the importance of listening, treating every client with respect, and ensuring clear communication throughout the buying or selling process. For buyers, it’s about finding that perfect home they absolutely love; for sellers, it’s about crafting a tailored strategy that includes data-driven pricing, effective staging, and strategic marketing to achieve their goals.

I have called the Des Moines metro home my entire life. This is not just the market I serve — it’s the community that shaped me. Since 2002, I’ve had the privilege of helping clients buy and sell homes throughout Des Moines and the surrounding areas, guiding each decision with experience, care, and steady leadership.
Real estate is deeply personal. It’s rarely just a transaction; it’s a transition. Over the years, I’ve sat at countless kitchen tables, walked through homes filled with memories, and helped clients navigate seasons of growth, change, and new beginnings. Those relationships are the heart of my business. Most of my work comes through referrals from past clients — a responsibility I never take lightly.
My background in marketing and design allows me to see homes differently. I understand how presentation influences perception, how thoughtful updates create impact, and how to position a property strategically in the market. For sellers, that means careful preparation, intentional marketing, and strong negotiation. For buyers, it means helping you see both the beauty and the potential in a home — and ensuring you feel confident in the investment you’re making.
Understanding the Des Moines real estate market requires more than data — it requires perspective. Having grown up here, I offer insight into neighborhoods, schools, market cycles, architectural styles, and long-term property value trends that only a lifelong local can provide.
Whether you’re purchasing your first home, moving to accommodate a growing family, downsizing, or preparing for your next chapter, my role is to provide clarity and guidance at every step. I believe in honest communication, careful strategy, and protecting your best interests from consultation to closing.
Helping people find home — here, in the community I love — continues to be one of the greatest privileges of my life.
In 2026, Rose Green and Laura Shultice partnered as a result of a shared commitment to trusted counsel and enduring relationships built over decades of thoughtful service and care. Rose and Laura bring together years of experience, strategic insight, and a deep respect for the homes and families they represent.
Their approach is equal parts guidance and advocacy—offering clients clarity at every step, negotiating with precision, and stewarding each transaction with careful attention. Rooted in relationships and strengthened by partnership, Rose and Laura offer representation defined not by volume, but by integrity, discretion, and a steadfast commitment to providing value to their clients and the people and homes of the greater Des Moines community.
We are incredibly fortunate to have worked with Rose. She took the time to truly understand what we were looking for in a home, from amenities, style and pricing to the kind of neighborhood vibe we desired. Her knowledge of the real estate industry and specific neighborhoods helped us narrow our ideas and options. Her relationships, as well and her involvement in the community, are distinguishing and provided to be valuable in our search. We were often the first to obtain a walk-though in sought-after houses. Rose is savvy, resourceful and was fully invested in the process. Rose had the kind of energy, knowledge and attentiveness that would be an asset to any client.
Being 1500 miles away, relocating back to Iowa was a difficult task. With few visits and little time I needed a professional that knows the area and the business. Laura was the right realtor. Being thorough and finding solutions to our desires was tough, Laura asked the tough questions to reps and builders in the area and more importantly, she asked the right questions. The closing was the easiest we’ve had in 20 years. We highly recommend Laura!
We worked with Rose as buyers and sellers. Rose is an expectational advocate for her clients. Her expert knowledge, attention to detail, and seamless communication made the buying and selling process smooth. We quickly understood that finding the right house for us was personal for Rose. She spent the time to learn what we wanted and needed in a house and worked tirelessly to advise us well. She made us feel like we were her only clients, but we knew that wasn’t true.
Laura helped my wife and I buy our current home in Ankeny. We interviewed several real estate agents and chose Laura because she was able to answer all our questions and knew the most about our market. When closing on the house, the builder didn’t get the wall paint quite right in every room. Laura made sure the builder corrected the problem and didn’t stop until we were satisfied with the paint job! Laura not only help us buy our first home, but she also gave us plenty of helpful tips on some of the highest quality cleaning products to keep our finishes looking new. She also turned us on to Houzz for design ideas! Overall, our experience was great. We love our home and recommend Laura to anyone looking to find a new home.
If you are looking for an incredibly honest, kind and talented real estate partner who puts you first over everything and is an absolute pro, look no further than Rose. Rose made the buying and selling process so seamless: from day one, she made us feel so comfortable. She has this special ability to remove any stress you may have. In fact, she actually makes it fun and exciting. Rose’s attention to detail, organization and insanely impressive knowledge of the market paid dividends for us.

I’m not good at doing reviews, and normally won’t write them. However, I feel like it’s my duty to the world to spread praises for Rose Green. She is savvy, honest, and industrious. After our experience with her selling our property, I will never consider using any other realtor and will recommend her alone to anyone needing a referral.
Her advice was correct every step of the way. She took care of everything that needed to get done to sell, things I had no idea about how to get done quickly, but she knew. She priced it right, knew what to expect, made sure we knew what to expect, and kept us meticulously informed.
This review can’t really do justice to how much I appreciate her guidance and hustle. My mantra during the selling process became “Let go. Let Rose.” She really is the best.
EXCELLENT Based on 35 reviews Posted on clkdsmVerified Rose has gone above & beyond in our quest to purchase a property in the neighborhood we desired, and she did it!

As the executor of an estate which held the property, I had been dreading the sales process. Rose immediately put my mind at ease and managed the entire process for me in a smooth, efficient, professional manner. There are very few real estate professionals who 'go the extra mile' like Rose does, for every individual, couple or family she works with! I would wholeheartedly recommend Rose to anyone needing the assistance of a real estate professional!!Posted on NatalieGaydarVerified Rose is hands down one of the best realtors in Des Moines. My partner (Chris) and I got in touch with her through a colleague of Chris'. She is so knowledgeable, kind, responsiveness, and overall just a wonderful person!! Any questions we had she was able to answer. Need a contractor recommendation? Boom, she knows someone. At the end of it all, she gifted us with a beautiful basket full of gift cards to places around the neighborhood. So thoughtful. Can't say enough wonderful things about Rose. She is amazing and you'd be honored to have a wonderful realtor like her!Posted on danengle59Verified Rose was referred to us by our daughter and family, and after working with her we can definitely see why she was recommended! Prior to touring an existing listing Rose listened to our “wants and needs”, and had several other homes that fit the criteria that we had not even considered. She was very helpful in the due diligence process. From pricing an offer in the current market, to recommending vendors, right up through and including closing Rose was right there alongside us. Available when we reached out, informative above and beyond our questions, we could not be more pleased, and most importantly we now have a new friend in Des Moines! Dan and Janet EnglePosted on lesley hageleVerified I can't say enough good things about Rose Green! She worked with me to sell my mother’s home in Des Moines and exceeded all expectations. She was extremely knowledgeable on the area, knew what was needed to increase the value of the house, and helped us get the best offer possible. She went out of her way to make this process easy for my mother and myself. Rose is responsive, proactive, has attention to detail, and is also one of the nicest people I have ever met.Posted on Rachel FormaroVerified My family and I had the best possible experience working with Rose. She helped us find the home of our dreams in a very challenging market, and she sold our previous home (within six hours!). Our family has come to think of Rose as a dear friend--she is someone you want to hang out with! The care and consideration she gave us throughout the buying and selling process were amazing. She treats her clients with the utmost attention.Posted on Todd O'BrienVerified We had the pleasure of working with Rose on the purchase of a new home. This was not the first home we had purchased a home but was the first time we used a realtor and it was very helpful. She did a wonderful job representing us during the entire process. Her deep knowledge of the local market was invaluable. She worked with the Seller’s realtor during the negotiation process and quickly provided appropriate updates to keep the process moving along. Rose secured third party inspectors for the sewer, roof and fireplaces without hesitation. Her calm demeanor during the purchase made the transaction much less stressful. We would highly recommend her to anyone considering the purchasing or sale of a house in the Des Moines and surrounding area.

Laura was very professional and knowledgeable. She was so patient in showing us homes when we were transferred to West Des Moines and helped us with the purchasing process. Five years later it was time to move again and Laura sold our home in 3 days!! It’s all about finding the right buyer for each home and the right home for each Client – Laura was the right choice for us and made both of these challenging transitions so much easier for us!
