Top Performing Grinnell-Based Agency Adds New Talent

Grinnell, IA — This month, Samantha Winebrenner joined the RE/MAX Partners Realty team as a residential and commercial real estate agent based in Des Moines, expanding the agency’s service area to now cover Des Moines, Marshalltown, Grinnell and all of Poweshiek County. A Des Moines native, Winebrenner offers clients insight and background knowledge that only a local can provide; she is an active member of the Urbandale Chamber of Commerce, participant in various Gen YP committees and has a unique, deeply connected network that spans from her mortgage and finance background to her combined total of six years as a licensed REALTOR®.

“Samantha’s experience and heightened interest in continuing education matches perfectly with RE/MAX Partners Realty and our highly accredited group of agents,” says Matt Karjalahti, Broker & Agent at RE/MAX Partners Realty. “Her proficiencies in the real estate industry are extensive and on top of it all, she’s an extraordinarily genuine person – her clients love her.”

“I knew right away that RE/MAX Partners Realty would be a great fit for me and I’m excited to partner with a group of other agents who work so diligently for their clients,” says Winebrenner. “It’s unbelievable that this brokerage based in little Grinnell, Iowa is one of the most successful agencies in the Midwest and I look forward to continue that success.”

Winebrenner graduated from East High School in Des Moines in 2004 and furthered her education at Central College in Pella obtaining a degree in Psychology.

Grinnell, IA — Last week, RE/MAX Partners Realty unveiled its recently installed touch screen to a group of community leaders at its Grinnell office, showcasing the screen’s current functionality and future offerings. The agency’s marketing firm, Double You Marketing, and RE/MAX agents provided an interactive tour of the product’s features including Central Iowa’s most complete database of listings. At the beginning of the new year, RE/MAX Partners Realty plans to offer community listings and advertising opportunities to surrounding businesses.

“This is a great tool for downtown visitors to not only have the opportunity to view listings 24/7, but also as a directory and navigational piece that works well given our location in the heart of Grinnell’s downtown,” says Matt Karjalahti, Broker & Agent at RE/MAX Partners Realty. “Consumers and businesses alike will benefit and that’s really what this is all about – community inclusivity and the ability to share information with each other.”

“Promoting your business and products with limited local media options can be challenging,” says Jeff Finch, President of Wes Finch Auto Plaza. “I see this as a useful communications tool not only for local downtown businesses, but also for those of us who do business just outside of town. It’s one more touch point to reach customers with information they find interesting and useful.”

“Consumers digest information differently and this piece offers a unique mix of media ranging from out-loud billboard messaging to measurable digital interactivity,” says Katy Wells, Owner & Brand Consultant of Double You Marketing. “While touch screens are not completely unheard of, it’s certainly an advanced technology offering that resonates with anyone who has adapted to the world of swiping, clicking and connecting with brands on preferred time.”

With its future offering of community listings and advertising opportunities, RE/MAX Partners Realty plans to work with local businesses to organize and coordinate efforts to ensure users can easily navigate the interface and experience. For any inquiries, email info@remaxcentralia.com.
