Meet Cindy

My Story

I have diverse experience and a background in science with a Bachelor's degree in Horticulture and a Master’s degree in Agricultural Science. After working in biotech and as a marketing consultant, I found my passion in business working with people and helping others in real estate. Over the past 20 years, I have personally helped hundreds of families from all walks of life find their dream home. 

Since 2014, I have founded the brokerage firm, New Horizon Realty LLC based in Johnston Iowa, through which I have helped many families with their real estate needs, including home buying, selling, rental house investing, as well as helping many relocation employees settle in the Greater Des Moines area. Helping my clients is my passion - I love sharing in my clients’  joy and excitement as families move into their new homes or sell their houses on the market.

Home selling and buying is an exciting but often confusing and challenging process. I am here to help to ensure a smooth process for sellers and buyers navigating the market and to above all protect the best interests of my clients.

More than just a broker

I live with my husband Terry and our rescue dog Bailey in Johnston, Iowa. We enjoy gardening and walking and are very involved in our local community including the Iowa Chinese School, Iowa Chinese Association, Iowa Chinese Agriculture Association, etc. We also love to travel, especially to spend time with our daughter Wendi who lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden where we are frequent visitors. Our greatest joy from 2020 was the birth of our first granddaughter, baby Freja, who has brought so much fun, joy and meaning to our lives.

Contact me with any questions you may have or just to have a chat. I look forward to meeting you!
