(Des Moines, IA - September 30, 2015) – Coldwell Banker Mid-America Group, Realtors® President, Robert Burns, has announced Kimber Powell as the Ankeny office Managing Broker and Jim Ellingson as Altoona office Managing Broker.
“I am very excited to introduce Kimber and Jim as managers in these two productive and unique offices,” Burns said, “Both Kimber and Jim are leaders within our company, their communities and Central Iowa real estate. I am confident that the Coldwell Banker offices in both Ankeny and Altoona will thrive under Kimber and Jim’s leadership.”
Since 2006, Powell served as the Altoona office Managing Broker. Previous to that, she was the Assistant Manager in the Ankeny office from 2005-2006 after joining as an agent in 1994. Powell has lived in Ankeny since 1978 and worked as a Special Education teacher associate in the Ankeny schools while raising four daughters along with her husband Kent.
“I’m thrilled to work with these talented agents in my hometown,” Powell said, “This office is not only one of the most productive in the state but also in the nation and I look forward furthering those achievements.”
In 2014, the Ankeny office was ranked number one in Coldwell Banker’s Northern Region for agents with 35-50 sales associates and was also designated a “Premier Office” which means that every agent in the office met a minimum of 20 sold units and $100,000 in Gross Commission Income.
Ellingson first became involved in real estate as an investor in 1997. He was licensed and worked as an agent in the Altoona Coldwell Banker office in 2011, earning the 2011 Rookie of the Year award. Jim serves on the Altoona Economic Development Committee, supports the Altoona Chamber of Commerce and is a graduate of the Eastern Polk County Leadership Program. Ellingson lives in Altoona with his wife Kelli and son Brandon.
“The Altoona office and community mean a lot to me and I can’t wait to serve both in this new role,” Ellingson said, “We are heavily involved in community events throughout Altoona and the surrounding area and, while we have a lot of fun, the agents are also consistently shattering goals and working hard.”
“As we continue to evolve in the Central Iowa real estate market, it is important to have future-focused, driven leaders,” Burns continued,“Kimber and Jim are committed to long-term growth while staying agile in an ever-evolving market and I look forward to their collaboration on our leadership team.”
