Hi, I'm Jesse!

I’m Jesse Swainey, a real estate agent with Iowa Realty – Chariton, proudly serving Southern Iowa. While I’m newer to the licensed side of real estate, my passion and education in property ownership, investing, and market strategy span many years.

Long before becoming an agent, I immersed myself in learning the fundamentals of real estate—studying market trends, property values, investment strategies, and what truly drives successful buying and selling decisions. That background allows me to approach every transaction with a strong analytical mindset and a deep understanding of how real estate works beyond just the surface level.

What sets me apart is my local knowledge and my commitment to doing things the right way. I understand the unique dynamics of rural properties, vacant land, residential homes, and investment opportunities across Southern Iowa. Whether you’re selling a longtime family property, purchasing your first home, or exploring land or investment options, I take the time to understand your goals and provide honest, informed guidance every step of the way.

I believe real estate should be straightforward, transparent, and centered around your best interests. My focus is on clear communication, strong negotiation, and building long-term relationships—not just closing transactions.

If you’re looking for an agent who is motivated, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your success, I’d be honored to work with you.
