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 therefore my goal is to provide every home buyer and seller in Iowa with an extraordinary experience that puts people before sales.
Closing the sale matters, but more important is having a trusted advisor in your corner who has your back every step of the way and is able to keep you safe from potential pitfalls.
Reach out if you want to talk about selling your home, buying a property, investing in real estate, or learning more about your local community.
“Emily was a recommendation from my brother-in-law and turned out my wife knew her! We were first-time homebuyers so she walked us patiently through the process and was very responsive to all our needs and questions.”

“Emily is extremely attentive and was understanding of my needs and goals for a purchase. She did not make me feel pressured, and I knew exactly what was going on throughout the course of purchasing my first home. She was always available to answer questions and kept a close eye on any listings that would be a good fit for me. She was patient as I looked and made my decision, and found the perfect place for me. I couldn't have been happier with my choice!”

“Working with Emily Hughes to purchase a property in Iowa City was wonderful. Not only is she an incredilby knowledgeable and professional real estate agent, but she also made the entire process feel warm, personal, and even fun. (She even brought delicious donuts to one of our meetings!) She took the time to really understand what we were looking for, gave thoughtful advice, and was always one step ahead when it came to scheduling showings, preparing our offer, and navigating the closing process. Her insight into the local market was invaluable, and we felt like we were in good hands. If you are looking for someone who knows their stuff and brings a little extra joy to the home buying experience, I highly recomment Emily. Five stars and a dozen donuts!”
