Danette says she "grew up in real estate." A native of Williamsburg, the business college and competitive swimming brought her to settle in Iowa City, where she lives with her husband, John, and their three children.

"To me, home-ownership means warmth and security, safety," says Danette. "I like being able to help other people to make good decisions for the advancement of their families--as they define advancement." She also says she enjoys fostering the growth of other agents committed to this spirit of service; it's fulfilling, she says, to help others to fulfill their dreams.
