“Isaiah was integral in the purchase of my first home. As a first-time homebuyer, I was overwhelmed with all the options and choices out there. Isaiah was extremely helpful in understanding my non-negotiables and wants for my house, and compiled a great list of options that helped narrow down my search! He was readily available, quick to respond to any questions I had, and made any necessary communication with other parties during the process. My home buying process went as smoothly as it could've, and I thank Isaiah for that!”

Learn more about what Sheldahl has to offer.
Sheldahl offers residents a close-knit community with a peaceful small-town atmosphere, a strong neighborly spirit, and convenient access to parks, services, and nearby opportunities.
Sheldahl immediately stands apart from nearby hubs like Ames and Ankeny with its small-town scale and genuine sense of familiarity. Straddling three counties, it offers a quieter daily rhythm while keeping commutes to larger employers and universities practical. For many residents, Sheldahl is appealing because it feels like a community where people recognize one another at the park, post office, and local gatherings.
Outdoor access is a key part of life here. The popular High Trestle Trail passes just to the west, giving cyclists and walkers a direct connection to Slater and Madrid. Families appreciate nearby recreation areas like McFarland Park and the regional amenities in Story County. For schools, many Sheldahl addresses are served through the North Polk Community School District, which draws families seeking a smaller system within reach of metro opportunities.
Housing in Sheldahl ranges from long-time family homes to newer construction on larger lots, and turnover can be limited in such a compact market. That makes timing and preparation especially important, whether you are aiming to secure a property before competing buyers or position your home to stand out. Agent Pronto can connect you with a local real estate professional who understands Sheldahl’s unique dynamics and can guide both buyers and sellers to make the most of current conditions.

“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!”
“Wendy Beal was knowledgeable and very proffesional. Her familiarity of the Ankeny market and current trends were of great help in setting the strategy for selling our home. We would highly recommend Wendy Beal for anybody looking to buy or sell in central Iowa.”
“She did go really far out of her way to show a house and had really good input on things we didn't notice”
“Deanna was amazing! She listened to me & understood my goals. She answered all questions & was respectful of my wants & needs. She was quick with responses & was there for me every step of the process.”
“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!”
“Dakotah was amazing to work with! Dakotah was referred to us by someone and we will continue to refer him to others. Knowledgeable about the Des Moines area and homes in the area. 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!”
