This week, I received a beautiful review from a client that truly stopped me in my tracks:
"Iris was absolutely fantastic during the entire process of selling our home. She is extremely knowledgeable and was so helpful every step of the way. She was accessible at all times, very responsive-totally on top of her game. Iris was also a very calming presence if there was any stress along the way. Bottom line, Iris was fantastic from beginning to end. HIGHLY recommend!"
That simple note meant the world to me. Because in real estate, it’s not just about closing deals — it’s about building relationships, being a guide through life-changing decisions, and walking alongside people during some of their biggest moments.
It’s what I love most about my work. The connections, the trust, the opportunity to serve — and yes, the friendships that grow out of it.
And the impact doesn’t stop there.
Because of this career — and thanks to people like you who trust me or send referrals my way — I’m doing something deeply meaningful: I am funding my kids’ college education. Steven just graduated from college this past week Magna Cum Laude with three different degrees! Every time a transaction closes, I’m reminded that this work is creating opportunities not just for my clients, but for my own family too. It’s humbling, and it’s incredibly motivating.
And I’m also proud to be part of a brokerage that believes in giving back — not just in words, but in action.
Here at Stark, we’re deeply rooted in the community. Across Dane County, we’re involved in dozens of events throughout the year — from donation drives for DAIS, to community shredding events that bring neighbors together.
But one of the biggest ways we give back is through our annual Golf Outing — an event that brings real estate professionals, vendors, and community members together for a powerful cause. Just last year, Stark raised over $20,000 for the Badger Childhood Cancer Network. That’s real impact. That’s money going directly to help families facing the unimaginable.

Being a part of something bigger — a company that believes in community, compassion, and contribution — makes all the difference. It reminds me that what we do isn’t just business. It’s service. It’s generosity. It’s legacy.
So, thank you. For your trust. For your friendship. And for allowing me to do work that changes lives — mine included.
If you or someone you know is thinking about buying or selling, I’d be honored to help. And I promise — you’ll be in good hands.
Warmly,
Iris
