Dan said father Gene Stanbrough introduced new methods of marketing real estate to the city, sponsoring the first television show in the early 1960s dedicated to showcasing available real estate offerings.

Gene was the first realtor to open a "branch" office in the city, and we were the first to market available real estate through color tabloids.

Emerald Homes Builds Unique Homes for Unique People.

Stanbrough Realty, with its distinctive gold signs and black lettering was a family-operated enterprise through the 1960s and early 1970s playing a part in Des Moines' great comeback era of the late 1970s and 1980s. And through the family name has been in the real estate market ever since the start on New Years Day 1960, the name itself is undergoing a renaissance as a business icon.

Let us help you design the home of your dreams! Make an appointment today! • Emerald Homes will work closely with you.

Stanbrough Realty changed its name to First Realty in 1983, with Dan as president, grew to 700 sales associates in 60 offices; the family company was later merged into a regional financial institution.

• Emerald Homes will sit down with you and listen to you to help you design and build a custom home that meets your unique needs within your budget.

"In 2001, my two sons were in their early 20s and interested and already both investing and building. We decided to bring the family name back into the market, something people hadn't seen in many years. I was encouraged to see how much familiarity our name still had in the community as a real estate company." Gold and black is back!

Our Philosophy

• Emerald Homes will build your home according to how you want to live.

"We try to spend our time understand out customers desires. We ask, 'What do people really want?', 'Where do they want to live?' We know people want nature and amenities such as trees and water; they don't want just buildings, they want quality recreation and lifestyle aesthetics. We're very conscious of conservation. We work around nature. OurHomes Emerald new neighborhoods reflect our commitment to developing in harmony with nature."

QR Codes are Revolutionizing Real Estate What is a QR code? A QR or Quick Response code, also known as a 2D barcode, gives users information on their smart phone or cell phone in an instant. In the simplest sense, think print-based link to web. If you see these QR codes, you take a photo through an application on your smart phone or cell phone, the program analyzes or scans the barcode, and it asks if you’d like to be redirected to a web address/URL.

Can I use QR codes on my phone? Because this technology is relatively new, there is no standard program or application for you to use. iPhones® and BlackBerrys® accommodate QR scanning applications quite easily and have very inexpensive (or even free) downloads available from their respective application stores. Even some cell phones allow it. Go to this website to see if your smart phone is compatible and to download code reader software to get started with QR Codes. www.mobile-barcodes.com/qr-code-software.
