Mark Charter began practicing real estate in 2005. Over that time, Mark has been involved in a 1,000+ real estate transactions and has sold hundreds of millions worth of real estate. Mark is the owner of Agency Iowa, a real estate brokerage focused on on being the best at what we do every single day. Mark is Married to Katie and they have 3 children.
Mark took all of the stress out of finding and purchasing our brand new home. He is knowledgeable, professional, patient and most importantly a really good partner. His advice was something that was above and beyond our expectations while looking for our new home. This was the second time we’ve utilized Mark’s services and he nailed it once more. If you’re looking for a brokerage that doesn’t treat you like a transaction, look no further.
We sold out townhouse this spring with Nicole Wandrey and it was so stinken simple. We heavily debated trying to sell it ourselves or use something like FSBO, but with Charter house we actually saved money and the townhouse in 3 weeks!!
Very happy we chose Charter House to sell our house. Mark and his team were incredibly responsive, thorough, and helped ease any concerns we had along the way. And it doesn’t hurt that we saved thousands in the process! Would highly recommend Charter House to anyone looking to buy/sell.
We love Mark!! Mark was extremely responsive, professional and knows real estate! He was so organized as he helped us find the right home, negotiate the price and work out the inspection details. I know we saved money working with him! He is a family man, so he interacted great with our kids. He certainly make the home buying process smooth. I highly recommend Mark Charter!!
Mark is very helpful in giving advise on matters you haven't considered or didn't have knowledge of. Our meetings were productive and to the point. We always felt that we were headed in the right direction!
Mark and his team are great to work with! I’ve used Charter House for my past two moves in the Ankeny area and have no regrets. I saved thousands on commission costs with their unique sales commission structure.
This was our third time using the Charter House for a home purchase & sale, and they have only gotten more efficient as time has passed. Mark is straight forward & tells it like it is, they save you money, and guide you through the process to make sure the transactions are seamless (even when the other parties may not be fully cooperative). They go above and beyond what I would expect from a realtor, and do so at a lower cost than most out there - win/win!
Mark Charter is a top notch Realtor! He’s extremely knowledgeable about the market and always put my needs first. Whenever, I found house I wanted to view it generally happened with an hour of getting in touch with him. He goes out of his way to get you into the home you love! I highly recommend his services!

Mark and Katie did a great job for my family, selling a house for us "as-is" at a higher listing price than other realtors had suggested, and saving us thousands in commissions. I would highly recommend Charter House Realty!
Mark is simply the best and we had a such a great experience buying our new home in Ankeny 5 years ago that is was a no-brainer to use him again to sell our home as we moved to Austin. He and his team are very customer centric and communicated every step of the way. I highly recommend Mark! He is the very best realtor that we've ever had and even recommended a great realtor for us in the Austin area who ended up helping us find our new home. Mark can really do it all!!!
Mark and Katie were so awesome to work with! They made the process very seamless, we’re always available, even last minute and always made me feel like I was a priority! They are REAL people and I appreciated their sense of humor! They didn’t try to convince me to buy something that didn’t make sense. They are there for you and they make that well known. Totally recommend Mark and Katie!!
Mark made the home selling process smooth and efficient. I would recommend Mark and his team to anyone looking to make a move as we couldn’t have been happier.
Mark and his team were AMAZING to work with! We were moving out of state and needed someone who could be on a fast journey with us and Mark exceeded our expectations!! We put our home on the market and accepted an over asking price offer from the first person to walk through the home - all driven by Marks honest feedback and suggestions to best price and market the home. Not to add he saved us thousands in the process. Mark undoubtedly would be my first choice when it comes to choosing an agent and team to support my home selling process!!! A joy to work with!!! No regrets whatsoever.
Mark and the entire Charter House team have been nothing short of incredible to work with! They are responsive and professional in all aspects of buying and selling. Buying and selling with them has been a complete breeze, we couldn't be happier!
Mark and Katie were fantastic from the initial consultation in our home to closing the deal. We had previously listed with another agent and the home did not sell. Mark and Katie gave honest feedback on how best to position ourselves for a sale. The home sold in 24 hours for well over asking price. They were both very timely in responses, professional, and did a great job advising us on the sale of our home and helped us negotiate the purchase of a new construction home! We would recommend them to anyone and look forward to doing business with them again in the future!!
Mark was straightforward without being pushy, he was available to meet in person as needed during the process. Katie, his key administrator, responded quickly when emailed, and she made the various parts of the sale process run along smoothly.
I worked with Mark and Katie to buy my first home and they made the process very easy. From sending me possible options to being super flexible in showing houses, I was grateful to have their help and knowledge! Will gladly work with them in future when buying or selling real estate.
Mark and his team at Charter House were awesome to work with. Got our house on the market and sold quickly and he handled the entire process very professionally. No complaints. I would recommend Marks's team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the greater Des Moines area.
