Real Estate, Reworked

Smarter service. Honest pricing.

With over 17 years of experience in Central Iowa real estate, David Charlson founded PROmetro Realty to offer something different: honest guidance, modern tools, and flat-fee pricing that actually makes sense. What started as a response to overpriced commissions has grown into a trusted local brokerage helping buyers and sellers save thousands—without cutting corners.

From first-time buyers to experienced sellers, David’s mission is simple: deliver real value with zero pressure and clear communication. Backed by MLS expertise, personalized service, and a deep understanding of the Des Moines metro, PROmetro Realty is real estate done smarter—for you and yours.
