About us
2022 - 17 past clients form the BiggerPockets community! 2023 - 20 YTD successful clients from the BiggerPockets community! I became an agent because I've found a need in the market for an agent that can articulate the financial impact of a real estate purchase on an individual's net worth statement. I currently own investment real estate and about 60% of my business is done with real estate investors like yourself! I currently run two local investor networking groups that, if you are local, I'd encourage you to attend! Just shoot me a message and I'll tell you about them!

I’m a first time home buyer and I’ve been looking for houses in the Des Moines area for the last few months. I’m a little picky about what I’m looking for but Darson has been extremely patient with me and helped me by suggesting houses that are close to what I’m searching for. If you’re looking to buy a house Darson is the man to get you what you’re looking for!

Darson is a wealth of knowledge on the Des Moines market and easy to work with as an out-of-state investor. With an assured, easy-going manner, he's an excellent guide and critical asset. Highly recommend him for anyone seeking a hard-working, effective, investor-friendly realtor in Des Moines.

Ten out of ten, if Google had more stars! Our experience with Darson was phenomenal. After working with a couple of other agents, our expectations were managed when we met Darson, but he absolutely set the bar. He was helpful, responsive, extremely knowledgeable, and encouraging after a few opportunities fell through. In the end, he helped us find a property that works for our unique goals and situation, and we would absolutely work with him again.

I'm an investor from out of California and was honestly just looking for some quick answers about diving into the Des Moines real estate scene. I reached out to Darson Grantham through bigger pockets and he clearly knows Des Moines inside and out! Super chill to work with and set me up on the first steps to investing in for the first time in Des Moines. If you're looking to invest around here and want someone who's both a local investor-friendly realtor and an awesome communicator, reach out to Darson.

I met with Darson using his online calendar booking system to discuss a current purchase and we also discussed strategies about how to scale when buying real estate in Des Moines Iowa. He helped point out some things to think about when buying Des Moines real estate to make sure the purchase was a smart purchase instead of a quick purchase.
I felt that Darson gave me a genuine advice from his experience. Which I found very valuable and trustworthy.

Darson was recommended to me by a friend that is a realtor in another state. I feel very fortunate to have worked with Darson in the search for my home. In the Des Moines hot market it was definitely an advantage to have such an experienced realtor assisting me. Darson is very personable and easy to work with. He is knowledgeable about the market which gives his clients an advantage. I will use Darson when I sell or buy a house in the future.

I had a great experience with Darson. He does a great job of scouting for properties in your price range and with the specs you’re looking for. Very engaging, down-to-earth, and knowledgeable - he’s an expert in all things Des Moines. He also has no qualms with being truthful and won’t bullsh*t you either. Very much stands out from the pack!

Darson is an incredible real estate agent with a wealth of knowledge. What I really enjoy about working with darson is he is an open book and always looking to funnel and share his knowledge with his clients. He is not at all scared to share what has worked well for him and what hasn’t with his real estate history. Any questions about anything real estate investing he is my go to and has provided great mentorship and wisdom while getting started out. 10/10 recommend this guy!

Darson helped us get into the game of real estate investing by helping us purchase our first house hack! We could not be more happy and grateful with the amount of service and knowledge Darson gave to us. Looking forward to doing many more deals with him on our team!

I was referred Darson by many realtors in a RE Investing group on FB and was not disappointed. He was my realtor for my first investment property and a tremendous help during the whole process. He's an open book, willing to answer any question I had as well as listen to my goals and dreams for real estate.
Not only does he help me, but he also rents out a room at a local coffee shop where like minded individuals can get together and talk about the hobby together.
10/10 would recommend, and plan on working with again!

I had an all around excellent experience working with Darson and his team, especially as a new investor buying my property.
Being both an agent and a real estate investor himself, Darson was able to apply his knowledge of the various REI strategies to specifically identify listings with the greatest potential to suit my goals. He was able to walk me through the process of buying a house, advise me on how to weigh discoveries that occurred during due diligence, and provide me with all the information I needed when it came time to make big, expensive, final decisions. Darson even came out to show the listing that I ultimately purchased on the same day one of his children had been born (which also happened to be on my birthday) to ensure I had a chance to submit an offer, because he knew my goals and recognized the property's potential to meet those goals.
Now, even a year after closing, Darson continues to be a valuable resource by providing me with recommendations for reliable contractors as needs arise, as well as by responding to more general REI related questions. Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend Darson to anybody in need of an investor-friendly agent.

We lived in Des Moines for more than a decade, so we knew the area well but Darson was able to bring additional knowledge and expertise to the table for us. He was great to work with, responsive, able to point out potential pitfalls, and ultimately helped us close on an off-market deal that was just what we were looking for. We’d highly recommend him and look forward to working with him more in the future.

Darson has been great to work with. He recently brought us two off-market properties in DSM that we were able to close, and we've listed another property with him also. I enjoy working with Darson because he's an investor himself and understands what my team is trying to achieve. That, coupled with his growing network and Keller Williams affiliation, make for a good combination.

A realtor helps people buy and sell houses. However, Darson is much more than a realtor. He's my trusted advisor.
I have now worked with Darson on multiple occasions (as an out-of-state investor), and his patience and mentoring has been second to none. I would not have my first three doors in twelve months without Darson's help.
I cannot recommend him highly enough for anyone looking for help with investment properties. He truly is the best around.
