“Lacie was amazing throughout the whole buying experience as a first-time home owner. She made every effort to keep me informed during our buying process and shown her expertise when any questions arose. When there were some questions she couldn't answer she was able to defer me to the appriorate subject-matter expert whether it was an electrician for electrical questions/work to inspection questions. She was absolutely fantastic to work with and would highly recommend her to friends and family that are looking to buy/sell now and later! Thank you Lacie Shelby for working with my partner and I. Thank you even more for making our first home purchase worth it!”

“To whom it my concern, It is our immense pleasure to recommend Viola Salvato as a real estate agent for any individual or family searching for the ideal home. Viola had an initial meeting with us regarding our specific needs in a home as well as our budgetary limits. She is highly talented and immediately found us numerous listings of homes. She did not waste our time with homes that were not in line with our needs. Viola is a master with contract negotiation she came up with a deal that was good for us as well as making the seller happy. She knows the area like the back of her hand and there is nothing that escapes her attention when it comes to properties for sale in this area. We found Viola to be a highly attentive agent, almost as if we were her only customers, although we know that was not the case. She returned all phone calls and emails the same day. We never felt neglected or unimportant. She also is highly personable with an engaging personality. She is hands down the best!”

Always felt that Dakotah was looking out for us as first time home buyers and helped us explain the home buying process in great detail. When we do decide to sell our incredible home, we will surely work with Dakotah again!”

Residents of Saylorville enjoy a welcoming, family-friendly community with ample parks, engaging local events, and convenient access to outdoor recreation and nearby amenities.
Saylorville blends lake-life calm with metropolitan convenience. A few minutes from Des Moines and the communities of Johnston and Ankeny in Polk County, it’s defined by the broad waters of Saylorville Lake, managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Weekends bring paddleboards and sailboats to quiet coves, anglers to hidden inlets, and families to shoreline trails. Jester Park adds bison and elk viewing, golf, a modern nature center, and miles of prairie and woodlands, while Big Creek State Park offers a broad beach and smooth bike loops.
Schools are a strong draw. The Johnston Community School District serves much of the area, including Saylorville Elementary, known for community-focused programs and extracurriculars; nearby options such as Saydel Community School District broaden choices for families. Youth camps, paddling classes, and outdoor education are close at hand through Polk County Conservation programming at Jester Park and along the lake.
Daily life feels easy here: swift access to I‑35/80 shortens commutes, downtown Des Moines is close for concerts, festivals, and dining, and the Neal Smith Trail strings together overlooks perfect for sunrise runs and sunset rides. On the water, the marina keeps boats ready for impromptu cruises, and winter brings eagle watching and quiet hikes. Whether you’re seeking a cul‑de‑sac near the shoreline or a low‑maintenance townhome with quick city access, you’ll find options that fit. For a smoother move, Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers with proven local real estate agents who know the market and the waterfront.
