Different backgrounds. Same drive. One goal.

Quartz Team Realty began with Jake Escher and Jayce Pedro — two young agents who built a business on one belief: outwork everyone. Seven years of long days and thousands of conversations built our foundation.

As we grew, we added James Edwards, then brought Carrigan Cox on full-time as Head of Media & Content. A full-time transaction coordinator keeps every closing smooth from contract to keys.

Work hard. Be honest. Put clients first. That's the Quartz Team way.

"The Quartz Team goes above and beyond in every aspect. They made the entire process seamless. We will never go through any other Realtor."

Our Marketing Process

We win your sale
before it ever hits the market.

We believe doing everything right up front is the most important part of the entire process. You only get one day to be the new listing — so we make sure your launch is stronger than anything else on the market.

01

Launch day is everything

Our goal is to make your launch day better than any other home listed that day, so every buyer's eyes land on your home while it's brand new — the moment that matters most.

02

Presented to perfection

The best photography, video, drone work, and tools — nothing held back. When we're done, you should feel we've presented and marketed your home to the highest possible degree.

03

Priced with data & AI

If a home marketed this well isn't selling, it's the price. We price with market data on every sold, pending, and active listing — and use AI to read nationwide signals and anticipate the market.

Marketing · Part 01

Photography that stops the scroll

We partner with Mirza Kudic Photography — one of the most sought-after real estate photographers in Des Moines, with a 70,000+ following and the go-to lens for the area's Home Show homes and luxury listings. Every image is crafted to make buyers stop scrolling and start picturing themselves at home.

Mirza is also exceptional at virtual staging — showcasing a home's full potential and saving you thousands on physical staging when it isn't necessary.

Marketing · Part 03

Then we get eyes on it.
Millions of them.

The best photos and film only matter if the right people see them. We put your home in front of buyers at a scale most agents simply can't match.

"What good is the best marketing if there isn't anyone to see it? That's why we invest tens of thousands of dollars every month to get the eyeballs your home needs to sell — for the highest price possible."

Every part of the process,
handled for you.

Here's everything working behind the scenes to get you to the closing table — and the highest possible price — without the stress.

Strategic launch

We engineer your launch day so your home is the standout new listing the moment it hits the market — when buyer attention is at its peak.

02

Standout photography

Mirza's magazine-quality photography — plus virtual staging when it makes sense — makes buyers stop, look, and imagine themselves home.

03

Cinematic video & drone

Alex's cinematic walkthroughs and aerial footage bring your home to life and travel across every platform.

04

Massive exposure

Tens of thousands invested every month puts your home in front of millions of the right buyers — creating real competition.

05

Data & AI pricing

We price with full market data and AI insight to position your home to capture the strongest possible offer.

06

Contract to close — handled

Once you're under contract, Glynn, our full-time transaction coordinator, takes over: managing every deadline, signature, and piece of paperwork from accepted offer to closing day. Every key date is tracked, every detail is handled — so you get to the closing table smoothly and stress-free.
