Trusted real estate guidance for life’s biggest transitions.

Lisa Coots Schooley

Buying or selling a home is rarely just a transaction.
It’s often connected to change — growing families, new opportunities, downsizing, or starting over.

I help people navigate both the practical and emotional side of moving, offering trusted real estate expertise alongside honest conversations and helpful resources designed to bring clarity to the next step.

Because behind every move is a story — and every story deserves thoughtful guidance.

Serving Cedar Rapids and surrounding communities.

Moving is rarely just about a house.

Whether you're deciding if it’s time to move or preparing for your next chapter, I help you understand your options first — so you can move forward with confidence.


My role is to help people find clarity first, then move forward

with confidence when the time is right.

✨ Lisa’s Story

My path into real estate didn’t begin with houses — it began with people navigating change.

Before real estate, I built businesses rooted in creativity and entrepreneurship, working closely with individuals during important transitions in their lives. Those experiences shaped how I guide clients today — with listening first, thoughtful perspective, and a steady approach to decision-making.

Real estate became a natural extension of that work.

I believe moving well starts with clarity. Whether someone is stepping into a new chapter or simply exploring what comes next, my role is to help them move forward with confidence and intention.

Because a successful move isn’t just about finding the right home — it’s about understanding when the time is right.

Today, I guide buyers and sellers across Cedar Rapids and surrounding communities…
