Why Burnett?
We are different from the competition.
How is Burnett Realty different than all the other real estate companies in town? When we opened our doors in 2000, we built the foundation of our company with you in mind. Our goal is to make you a “client for life.”
We are locally owned, which gives us the ability to react quickly to your needs and provide a level of customer service not found at other companies. Our owner, Doug Burnett, has an open-door policy. More than likely, you will meet him personally as you tour our office. At the end of a transaction, you will receive a customer survey so we can gauge and address your level of satisfaction with Burnett Realty and your Realtor®.
We focus on quality, not quantity when hiring our Realtors®. They are truly the best in the industry — credible, competent, well-trained and highly productive. They work as a team to meet our client’s needs. Burnett Realty and our Realtors® are members of the Des Moines Area Association of Realtors®, the Iowa Association of Realtors® and the National Association of Realtors®.
We will show you all Multiple Listing Service listings when you are looking for a home, not just our own. We will also help you with limited-service brokers and For Sale By Owner properties. If you list your home with us, we will market it to more than1,600 Des Moines area real estate professionals. And we will customize the marketing plan to sell your property, because we understand each home has unique characteristics. Burnett Realty signage and advertising truly stands out in the crowd!
