Welcome to Ortmann Homes, where we Bring Your Dreams Home!

We are a family owned business with over 40 years of experience in the housing and construction industry. We are here to build your dream home or your first home. Our goal is to ease the process of building your next home while working to sell your existing home.

As a realtor, I can help you find your first home or your next dream home. I grew up learning all about construction and assisting my dad in some simple construction tasks. From attaching kitchen cabinet knobs to carrying boards and rolling drop cords. Drawing a house on paper and watching it progress through all stages of construction became the highlight of my visits. I didn’t know how much I loved the design and development of home construction until I moved away for college and only got to “check-in” on my dad’s projects on occasion. Naturally, I married a carpenter.

My husband, Chris has been building and remodeling homes since he graduated high school in 2000. He started working for contractors in Sioux City before working for a top notch framing company in Omaha. He has continued working construction from small remodel jobs to new construction homes and businesses. We enjoy the building process of picking out prints and designing a home to include everything we would expect in a new home. There is no detail spared when it comes to quality and comfort while keeping it budget friendly.

We are blessed with three daughters that keep us busy in sports and activities. So when we aren’t working, you will probably see us around a softball field or at a gymnastics meet. They enjoy coming to visit homes with us and “check how it’s coming”. They love watching it go from a hole in the ground to a completed home. I think I may have one of them in love with home design just about as much as me. She even tells me what colors we should go with.

Choosing my career path in real estate has been the best decision. I am able to assist in the purchase of a home as well as the planning with the design of your new home. I get to watch your dreams come to life! After selling real estate and building homes in SE South Dakota and NW Iowa, in 2018 we moved back to the Des Moines area where my dad and brother, have been building custom homes for over 20 years. My brother also owns a home construction business, Platinum Design Build, LLC. Together, with all our construction and home building experience plus my interior decorating and real estate experience, we make a top notch team to plan your next dream home.

We would be honored to assist you in bringing your dreams home!
