A Trusted Legacy in Southwest Iowa Real Estate

The Real Estate Store logo proudly displays the fact that it was established in 1999. The concept of a full-service real estate brokerage was created by Ruth M. Bolinger Owner & Broker.   Actively licensed from 1998 - 2008.  Ruth pursued other endeavors in both not-for-profit and for-profit endeavors from 2008 to 2023 building her skill sets, growing her network, and expanding her knowledge of services to Iowans.  Ruth kept her real estate license on inactive status with the Iowa Professional Licensing Division during this time. In 2023 Ruth returned full time to real estate. In 2024 The Real Estate Store moved to its current location that allows The Real Estate Store to once again bring you high-quality real estate services and a renewed dedication to both buyers and sellers.
