Megan Avila
Hey there, I'm Megan!
I’m a proud Iowa girl, born and raised in the small town of Northwood. I’ve lived in this great state my entire life, and while I’ll always be a small-town gal at heart, I’ve planted roots here in the Des Moines metro since 2017 and truly love calling this area home.
Real estate became my career about four years ago, and since then, I’ve had the absolute honor of helping over 80 families buy or sell homes right here in central Iowa. It’s not just about houses for me — it’s about the people in them. Helping folks navigate big life transitions, celebrate wins, and find their place in the world? That’s the good stuff. And it's what keeps me showing up every day with a full heart and a whole lot of purpose.
Before real estate, I worked in social work — so people, communication, and problem solving have always been at the center of what I do, and also what comes naturally to me. Whether it's walking first-time buyers through every single step or helping sellers make strategic decisions that are the right move for them, I’m here to make the process as smooth, stress-free, and maybe even fun as possible.
I believe that real estate is more than just a transaction. As a REALTOR® with CENTURY 21 Signature Real Estate, I build my business by referral, and that means relationships are everything to me. My goal is to provide every home buyer and seller in Iowa with an extraordinary experience that puts people before sales.
Sure, closing the sale matters — but what matters more is having a trusted advisor in your corner. Someone who truly has your back, who can guide you through each step, and protect you from those potential pitfalls that can turn an exciting process into a stressful one. I take that responsibility seriously.
So whether you're buying your first home, upgrading, downsizing, or just starting to think about what’s next — I’d be be grateful for the opportunity to walk that path with you. Let’s grab coffee, talk life, and make a plan that feels right for you.
Here for the long haul. Your friend in real estate. Your REALTOR® for life.
