About Chassy

With more than 20 years of experience, Chassy Pollard leads Better Way Realty, a boutique brokerage built on collaboration, transparency, and trust. Her passion for real estate began at age five, sitting at her grandfather’s desk in Northeast Iowa—dreaming up homes and helping “clients” long before it became her career. After starting her real estate journey in Southern California, Chassy returned to Iowa nearly a decade ago and dedicated herself to mastering every aspect of residential transactions—from contracts and financing to title and abstracts. Earning her Broker’s license in 2018, she combines expertise, problem-solving, and integrity to guide clients through every step with confidence. At Better Way Realty, we don’t just define real estate—we redefine it, one relationship at a time. We believe TOP means Transparency Over Profit, and our focus is always on people, not just properties. By working together as a true team, our small brokerage delivers big results through honesty, care, and exceptional service.

Chassy and Ron were awesome from the first time I met them to closing

I choose to have them as my realtor because they we so prepared from the minute they walked into my home. They explained everything so I could understand and showed me on a spreadsheet what I would get from different offers. They always let me know what was going to happen next and told me they had my back and they surely did. They put my house on the market friday and it was sold by sunday which totally blew my mind.

Knowledgeable and extremely helpful!

After they showed us our future house, we were on our way back to our apartment and they called us to let us know that someone else put an offer on the house. We had expressed good interest in the home so they let us know we should make an offer ASAP. They gave us all the information we needed to know and helped us out every step of the way. We closed on the house and are very glad we got to buy this home! Ron and Chassy are very passionate about what they do and would love to help you find a home!

Ron & Chassy are the BEST!!

Can't say enough about my experience working with them both!! Not only did they make the process of buying my new home seamless & worry free, but they also assisted my brother & I in selling our parents' 1970's fixer upper. With their knowledge & suggestions it sold within 3 weeks of listing! I would not hesitate to recommend Better Way to anyone!!
