  • Episode 003: The Growing Rural Real Estate Market with Realtor Amy Lucht
    As the go-to Realtor in central Iowa, Amy Lucht has a unique perspective on both the rural and urban markets in her area. In this conversation we talk about:
    - How this digital age we live in is giving people the ability to work and thrive in rural communities
    - What small communities are doing to attract people
    - How we can study what cities are doing and apply that to our small towns
    And here’s a little tip for those of you who don’t live in Iowa but want to learn from what Amy’s talking about: you might want to pull up Iowa on your Maps app so you can get a better visual. (We’re not kidding, that’s how much you can learn from this podcast.) We promise you’ll walk away with a head full of ideas and the fire in your heart to really go after your small-town dreams!
