My Story

Penny Harrison grew up in Addlestone, England and had always wanted to become a nurse. At the age of 18, she moved just southwest of London where she lived until she moved to Seattle after completing her nursing training. Two years later, she found herself in Des Moines and she has been here ever since.

Unfortunately, in 2004, Harrison's like was flipped upside down as she was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was a difficult time; but she now explains "it allowed me to refocus on the important things in life - my health, my family, and my career."

Fast forward to today, Harrison has been a Realtor for nearly 25 years! Prior to real estate, Harrison was in sales for the Wittern Group and for Ecowater as an in-home sales representative. Prior to that, she had what she describes as the best job: stay-at-home mom.

Harrison's interest in the real estate industry was sparked as she sold her house. She really enjoyed the partnership between everyone to make sure the outcome would be the best possible circumstances for all parties involved. Harrison says: "It was challenging yet rewarding to come to a compromise that would help everyone."

She has a strong passion for many different aspects of the business but currently, Harrison describes, "it is the relationships that I have built with buyers and sellers that have been most rewarding." She most loves working with first time buyers and empty nesters. She claims: "It is with these people that you really sense the meaning of a home and all that it may offer, all that it has given."

Another factor in Harrison's decision to transition into a career of real estate is the ability it gives her to spend time with her family. She appreciates the balance she was able to find as her kids were growing up with helping clients and making sure she could support her kids at any activities they might have.

In her free time, Harrison loves getting to see her friends and family. She also enjoys hiking, traveling, gardening, going to concerts and relaxing with a nice cup of tea. Another passion she has is giving back to her community as she takes part in various different organizations and volunteering opportunities.
