Angela Erickson - Realtor
A lifelong Des Moines native, I spent 28 years in mental health before turning my passion for helping people into a thriving real estate career. With a master’s in Counseling from Drake, I guide clients through buying and selling with confidence—despite the inevitable bumps and bruises a transaction may bring—because let’s be honest, it ranks right up there with marriage and kids! I first stepped into real estate 25 years ago and have been a full-time realtor for nearly 12 years. A former single mom of 17 years, now married for 22 years, I know the importance of finding the right home. Whether you're buying, selling, or exploring options, I’ll make the process smooth, strategic, and even fun!

Fantastic experience: Throughout the home buying process, Angela treated my family as if we were her own. From start to finish, she explained every step and took time to answer questions without making us feel rushed. Angela is professional, honest, transparent and considerate. She is willing to fight for her clients while remaining warm and personable. Angela helped us find and obtain the perfect home for our family. If I could give her more than five stars, I would!
Thank you! I feel incredibly fortunate to work with clients who become friends along the way. Your confidence in me means the world, and I couldn't be happier that you found the best home for everyone AND with help from the entire family. Look forward to coffee!
Fantastic experience: Huge shoutout to Angela for making our home buying experience absolutely amazing! She was patient, knowledgeable, responsive, and truly had our best interests in mind every step of the way. Buying a home can be stressful, but Angela made the entire process feel smooth and exciting. We always felt supported and informed, and she went above and beyond to help our family find the perfect home. We couldn’t be more grateful and would recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who genuinely cares. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Diane,
You were fabulous to work with! We had lots of laughs and can't wait to work together again and find you a great home here in the very near future!! Thanks so much for your nice review, I really appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: Angela is the absolute best! Was incredibly diligent and detail oriented throughout the whole process. She is wonderful to work with!
Every new build has its twists and turns, especially for a first time home ! You hung in there like a boss, and it paid off. I’m grateful to have been part of the process and couldn’t be happier for you. Thanks for putting your trust in me!
Fantastic experience: Angela is a total professional. Like a great realtor, she will counsel with you to ensure your best interest are met. She will see to it that you're taken care of.
Buying a home is a major investment, and I appreciate the confidence you placed in me to guide you through the process. Your patience and determination made all the difference. I love getting updates about your family and plans!
Fantastic experience: Isn't buying a house fun? NOT. Isn't selling your own house the bees' knees? NOT! Angela ushered us easily through the thickets of financing, county, city, and state regulations and all of the red tape of buying and selling involved. She can soothe raw nerves and between our crying our eyes out, make us laugh! And she can hold hands - both virtual and real - with unflappable composure . Highly, highly recommend her. She has bought one house and sold two other houses for us. She's a keeper!
Every home buying and selling process has its twists and turns, but you stayed the course, it paid off, and you handled it like a boss - despite some truly harrowing issues out of our control. I’m grateful to have been part of the process and couldn’t be happier for you. Bonus - you are now a great friend too! I am the lucky one :)
Fantastic experience: Angela is willing to do THE MOST for you. So attentive and was able to find us a house that we LOVE.
Real estate is all about teamwork, especially as first time homebuyers, and I couldn’t have asked for better clients to work with. Your dedication and trust made all the difference. It's so much fun to see all your family's milestones in your great home!
Fantastic experience: Angela is enthusiastic, thoughtful, extremely helpful, and highly professional. She helped me meet any challenges along the way with a “we got this” mindset. Communication with Angela was easy. The home was priced correctly and sold as expected in a matter of days. In short, Angela is great to work with and knows the business. I cannot imagine a better real estate agent than Angela Erickson.
Navigating the sale of a home isn’t always easy, but you handled it with grace. Thank you for allowing me to be part of this transition with your good friend—it was an honor to work with you both! And thank you so much for the kind words.
Fantastic experience: Angela was very friendly, resourceful, and persistent when she was helping me find a home to purchase. I was a first time home buyer. Angela’s assistance and patience was very reassuring with my many questions throughout our search. She was as happy as I was when we found the right home and she stuck with me through the whole process.
Every sale has its challenges, but you handled them like a pro. I’m grateful to have been in your corner, and I appreciate the trust you placed in me. You found such a pretty place and glad you like it!
Fantastic experience: We had a great experience working with Angela in 2019 when we bought our home. She made the process smooth from start to finish. Even years later, she continues to check in, showing how much she values her clients. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of working alongside Angela Erickson on a real estate transaction, and she is one of the best in the business. From our first phone conversation, it was clear that she is incredibly knowledgeable about the market and passionate about helping her clients achieve their goals. Her personable approach made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. She took the time to assess the home and its history needs all while keeping her client's interests at heart, which is a quality that sets her apart. Her communication skills are outstanding; she was always available to answer questions and provide updates, making me feel valued and informed every step of the way. Angela checks all the boxes if you're looking for an agent who combines expertise with genuine care for her clients. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

It was such a joy working with you and the fam and excited to work with you again! So impressed you are working so hard to get the house ready! Thanks for the nice words.
Fantastic experience: Angela was wonderful to work with, so helpful in educating me on the ins and outs of selling a home. She helped with the improvements my house needed before listing it and also had a list of people I could contact for painting, handyman work, power washing my house and much more. Even after the sale, we still keep in touch and she found another realtor in SE Iowa where I will be buying a house in the future. I was so lucky to find her. Thank you, Angela!
Talk about lucky. I was so lucky to find YOU! You worked so very hard to get your house ready to sell, and continue to work hard in SE Iowa. I am so happy we keep in touch and looking forward to what the future holds for you! Thanks so much for the sweet review!

Fantastic experience: Exemplary Realtor. Angela was a godsend when we bought our house some 3 years ago. Could not have asked for a more attentive and expedient and communicative realtor and guide through our home buying process. Now, as we sell our home, she has been an invaluable resource and co-conspirator through the difficulties of selling our house. If you are looking for the one, Angela should be at the top of your list.
Thanks so much Stuart! You and Jess were awesome to work with and of course NOW you are just as great. I feel pretty spoiled to have wonderful clients like you! Thanks again, Angela
Fantastic experience: I purchased my first home with Angela as my mentor and guide. She is principled and honest! She recommended a radon test which I agreed to which showed a toxic level of radon gas-3 times the national average! It is the second leading cause of lung cancer! I purchased a radon mitigation system and feel grateful for her advice. I recommend Angela to anyone looking for a new home, she is patient, kind, knowledgeable and listens! Thanks Angela!
Sandy,
You were a true joy to work with. You were positive and fun despite some of the "opportunities" such as radon, and the sidewalk issues! It's been so much fun to see all the cool things you've done to your new home! Great job Sandy and thanks so much for your kind words!
