The People Behind Your Next Move.
Every one of us will tell you the truth about the house. That's the job.
Heather Wright
Heather has spent 15+ years selling homes across Greater Des Moines, and she built this team's reputation on one habit most agents avoid: telling clients the truth even when it kills the deal. She's talked buyers out of houses they loved and once told a homeowner to refinance instead of sell, because it was right for him, not for her commission. A Graduate of the REALTOR® Institute (GRI) with 1,000+ homes sold and a team ranked #1 in Johnston on the 2026 RealTrends Verified rankings, she leads the team, negotiates like it's her own money, and when you call, she picks up.
“Heather was patient and provided me the knowledge I needed as a first time home buyer. She didn't see me as just a number. I plan to return once I am more prepared.”
Anna Douglas
Anna is the agent clients describe as fierce, and she earns it. A mom of four with a first-time buyer specialty, she thinks about how a house will work for a real family, brings the energy that keeps a long search from wearing you down, and says exactly what she thinks about every home you tour. Her clients tend to become her friends, and then her referral sources, which tells you how it usually goes.
“Anna made my first home buying experience one of the best. She kept things fun and upbeat when looking at homes. She was very helpful/encouraging when I would feel discouraged about the real estate market.”
Scott Wright
Scott is the calm in the room when a deal gets complicated. He's measured where the market is loud, and clients lean on him for exactly that, steady guidance through new construction builds, out-of-state moves, and virtual tours where details can slip. He would rather take longer to find the right home than talk you into the wrong one.
“What really stood out was how much he genuinely cared. He took the time to walk through properties with us without ever rushing or pressuring—he let us take the lead while offering helpful guidance and insight when we needed it.”
Ashton Ewing
Ashton is the agent you want when you're buying and selling at the same time and every deadline touches another one. She's warm, relentlessly consistent with follow-up, and good at building confidence in people who are nervous about the process, because she never leaves you wondering what happens next.
“Throughout the entire transaction, Ashton's communication and follow-up were exceptional. She always kept us updated, answered questions quickly, and provided thoughtful advice that helped us feel confident in every decision we made.”
Carra Oteto
Carra came to real estate from journalism, sales, and nonprofit work, and it shows in the best way. She asks better questions than most agents, listens before she talks, and translates a complicated market into plain answers. Years living abroad gave her a feel for what it's like to land somewhere new, which makes her a favorite with relocation buyers who need someone to explain the neighborhoods, not just unlock the doors.
“They were very prompt with a response and very quick to show us a house. We decided to make an offer and Heather and Carra made that super easy for us.”
Chelsey Martin
Chelsey spent 20+ years in veterinary medicine before real estate, and she brought the precision with her. Clients call her honest to a fault. She flags the problems in a house you didn't notice, explains the process until it stops being intimidating, and follows through on every detail, because in her old career, missed details had consequences.
“She was incredibly knowledgeable, very thorough, and truly on our side every step of the way.”
Annie Gaster
Annie's background is commercial construction and commercial real estate going back to 2002, which means she reads a house differently than most agents. Structure, systems, layout, what a renovation would take and roughly what it would cost, she's evaluating all of it while you're still standing in the entryway. If you want an agent who sees past the staging, she's the one.
Ayeesha Ali
Ayeesha has been a full-time agent since 2018, through every kind of market, and she came to the work from a background in psychology. That shows up as a practical skill: she hears what buyers mean, not just what they say. She's a caller, not a texter, and if the right house is on the far edge of the metro, she's already in the car.
“Ayeesha took the time to explain everything and made sure I was knowledgeable in all the decisions I was making and the impact they would have.”
Alex Walsh
Alex earned her license in 2016 and brings nearly a decade of deals, plus a career built on reading people, from directing a vocational school to running a Nordstrom cosmetics department, where every day is high-touch client work. She simplifies where others complicate, tells you what you need to know instead of what you want to hear, and builds momentum fast. First-generation Cuban American, mom of three including a U.S. Marine, and not rattled by much.
“She has impeccable communication skills and cares very much about her clients. What I love most is her honesty and trustworthiness.”
Andrea Torres
Immersed in real estate early on, Andrea Torres brings deep industry roots to the Des Moines Metro with Heather Wright & Associates. A patient and flexible problem-solver, she combines honest guidance with genuine care to serve as a lifelong, trusted resource for buyers, sellers, and investors alike.
