Bettendorf, Iowa - September 19, 2025 - (PRESS ADVANTAGE) -

Sara DeWulf REALTOR, a second-generation real estate professional serving the Quad Cities area, announces the expansion of comprehensive resources designed to guide first-time homebuyers through the increasingly complex Iowa and Illinois real estate markets. The initiative comes as mortgage rates stabilize and inventory challenges continue to impact buyer opportunities across the region.

"First-time homebuyers face unique challenges that require both expertise and patience," said Sara DeWulf, founder of Sara DeWulf Realtor. "Having grown up in this market and learned the business from my late father, Brian Smith, I understand the importance of providing comprehensive guidance that goes beyond just showing properties. Our approach combines data-driven market analysis with personalized support to help buyers make confident decisions."

The expanded resources address critical challenges facing new buyers in today's market, including competitive bidding situations, financing complexities, and neighborhood selection across state lines. Sara DeWulf Realtor leverages dual licensing in both Iowa and Illinois to provide seamless service throughout the entire Quad Cities region, including Bettendorf, Davenport, Moline, Rock Island, and LeClaire.

The company's track record demonstrates significant success in navigating competitive markets. In 2022 alone, DeWulf closed 117 transactions totaling $36 million in volume, placing her among the top one percent of realtors in the Quad Cities area. This performance earned her recognition on the Tom Ferry "America's Best" list at number 195 nationally.

The expansion comes at a critical time for the regional market. Recent data shows continued demand for homes in the Quad Cities, with inventory remaining tight despite seasonal fluctuations. First-time buyers particularly benefit from working with professionals who understand both Iowa and Illinois regulations, tax implications, and market dynamics.

As a lifelong resident and cancer survivor who owns the Eldridge Lumberyard with her family, DeWulf brings deep community connections to her real estate practice. These relationships often provide clients with access to off-market opportunities and trusted vendor networks for inspections, repairs, and renovations.

DeWulf's approach integrates technology with traditional relationship building. Clients can access resources through multiple platforms, including the comprehensive digital hub at https://linktr.ee/saradewulfrealtor, which connects buyers to educational materials, market updates, and financing guidance. The platform serves as a central resource for clients navigating the complexities of dual-state transactions.
