Sasha is a REALTOR® based in Grinnell. He has many years of experience in the educational world which prepares him to be a highly efficient, helpful, and patient real estate agent.

Sasha’s goal is to help people make sense of the real estate market to find ways to become homeowners, whatever their background may be! Originally hailing from the suburbs of Chicago, Iowa slowly became home for Sasha as the people, the open space, and wonderful communities in Grinnell kept him coming back. When Sasha isn’t working in real estate, he is spending time with his Grinnell community, playing board games, and working in the local college and library.

“My clients aren’t just clients. They’re friends. I suppose a lot of realtors focus on the transaction, but the real thrill for me comes once a family moves into their new home and transforms it into a reflection of who they are. I never get tired of it.” Driven by a passion for her clients and a laser focus on representation before profit, Alyssa’s commitment to people doesn’t just stop when her work day ends.

With a strong background in process and client representation, her honest straight forward approach to helping buyers and Sellers contributes to her success. Living both at Holiday Lake and just over a mile from Lake Ponderosa enhance her ability to service both of Poweshiek Counties Lake communities handily.

Grinnell was supposed to be a three-to-five-year blip on Lynn Mawe’s radar, but that was thirty years ago. After living in Chicago and Phoenix, Lynn and her husband moved back home to Iowa with their 6-month-old son in 1989 and never looked back—finding Grinnell the perfect mix between small town and big city. “It was nice to raise our kids in a community like Grinnell. The boys could ride their bikes to the golf course, it’s a tight-knit community, and we ended up making more friends here than we did in the larger cities we lived in. And yet, there’s a diversity here that you don’t find in most small towns, more activities than you would ever expect, and Des Moines or Iowa City are only an hour’s drive away.” Lynn ended up settling—but not sacrificing—in Grinnell, where she and her husband have raised three sons and been members of multiple community organizations. Lynn can often be found on the golf course or going for walks with her English bulldog, Dozer. Before joining RE/MAX Partners in early 2019, Lynn worked in the insurance industry and as a residential appraiser for seventeen years but needed a change. “As an appraiser, I was always working on the analytical, numbers side of house purchases but not getting to connect with customers. I’m excited to finally work directly with the people buying houses and use my expertise to help them navigate their transactions. I want to help my clients with the hard stuff – the market analysis, abstract updating, title objections, deed preparation and inspection results.” To her, real estate is like a puzzle. Lynn won’t sell you a house just to make a sale, she’ll help you find the house that fits with your personality and lifestyle.
