Kara Kelso: NAI Iowa Realty Commercial

I am very fortunate to have had Kara in my corner throughout my journey from pop-up business to a brick-and-mortar. She understood what I wanted and needed for my bookshop. Her understanding of costs associated with commercial spaces helped guide me away from places that would make operating my business even more costly. Her advice and encouragement helped me find the perfect location in the heart of the Drake neighborhood. I cannot recommend her enough.

Kara is very client focused she takes the time to understand her clients needs she loves helping small business owners make their dreams come true, she is so passionate in what she does. I would highly recommend Kara if you are a business owning looking for a local commercial agent to help find the right fit for your next your next business location.

Kara is very kind, professional and helpful. She has been helping us find the right property for our business for the last 6 months. She truly understands you as a customer and as a small business owner herself, she knows the importance of finding the "right spot". I highly recommend her for your next commercial space.

Kara has been fantastic to work with. She was very patient as we looked at a lot of places trying to find the right place for me. We worked together for about 9 months before we found the right place. She continued to be by my side as I was looking for financing and contractors. Kara has a ton of knowledge and if she doesn't know is great about reaching out to her network. If I ever have to go through this process again, I will absolutely work with Kara.

I worked with Kara to find a studio for my balloon business when I was in a severe time crunch to move out of my old studio. She was wonderful to work with and quickly found me a new space. She had lots of knowledge about the neighborhoods I was interested in and insight into available spaces, as well as what was currently moving in, and what spaces would soon be available. She truly has a beat on the market, and is very invested in Des Moines. She them helped me negotiate my lease, and thought of things specific to my business that I had not considers. I enjoyed working with her and would suggest her to anyone.
