Smart Move Des Moines
Thirty minutes at the house, and every option it has comes back priced in writing — so your family decides with numbers instead of opinions.
Free · Nothing to sign · A copy for everyone who gets a voteMost families facing a house — an inherited one, a parent's, a home that has become too much — get stuck in the same place. Three people have three opinions, everyone means well, and nobody has a number. Weeks pass. The house sits empty and costs money.
The Three Paths Plan exists to end that. It is one visit that produces one document: a written, side-by-side comparison of everything the property can do, each option priced from real sales in the neighborhood, with the math shown so you can challenge any line of it.
No repairs, no emptying every closet first. Buyers for as-is homes are real, and on the open market they bid against each other — which is why this usually nets well above the cash-offer letters arriving in the mail.
Not a renovation. Cleaning, paint, and fixing only what buyers punish. On the right house that is worth real money for a few weeks of patience; on the wrong house it is money buried. The walkthrough tells you which house this is.
Someone moves in, one heir buys the others out, or the family rents it. Right for some families — and it works far better with a written agreement about who pays what and who decides what.
Every family that gets a Three Paths Plan gets access to Sarah's client portal, and this is where the plan stops being a piece of paper. Each decision-maker receives their own private login, so nobody has to be the family switchboard.
Nothing. It's the same homework Sarah would do before listing any house — done early, when it's actually useful to your family instead of only to an agent. If you eventually list with her, the work is already finished. If you don't, you still got a professional answer to the question you were losing sleep over. Both outcomes are fine, and there is nothing to sign to get the plan.
Tell Sarah where the house is and roughly what's going on. She'll reply within one business day — usually much sooner — and if it's easier to talk first, the calendar link below is free and takes thirty minutes.

Nothing, and there's nothing to sign. It's the same analysis Sarah would do before listing a house — done early, when your family can actually use it.
No. Many families ask for a plan months before deciding anything, and some decide not to sell at all. The point is that whenever the decision comes, it's made with real numbers.
No. It's a comparative market analysis — a REALTOR®'s pricing analysis built from recent comparable sales, with every adjustment shown so you can question it. An appraisal is a separate licensed service, and a lender orders its own.
That's routine — about half of Sarah's estate clients never set foot in Iowa during a sale. The walkthrough can be done on video, and every decision-maker gets their own portal login, so a sister in Seattle and a brother in Phoenix see the same documents at the same moment.
It's the most common reason families ask for one. Disagreements usually persist because nobody has the number — each person is defending a path in the abstract. One written comparison, given to everyone at once, turns an argument into a decision.
About thirty minutes at the property. The written plan follows within a few days, and Sarah walks the family through it on one call so everyone hears the same explanation.
The Three Paths Plan is general real estate information and a comparative market analysis — not legal, tax, or insurance advice. Questions about an estate's process and timing belong with your attorney; tax questions with your CPA; coverage questions with a licensed insurance producer. Sarah is glad to share three names for any of them.
