Marva McCarty
2026 CHAIR | REAL ESTATE/RESIDENTIAL
RE/MAX Concepts - Marva McCarty
Realtor
Helping my clients/friends take the next step in their life is my mission in life. As a real estate professional I love to work with home buyers and sellers who are ready to buy their first house, or their "forever" house, or sell a home that is no-longer working for their current needs and lifestyle so they can move on. Although I do specialize in working with seniors and empty nesters, I love helping all clients at important junctures in their lives-- finding the home that works for them and their desired life style. My style is to work in a partnership with my clients. My goal is to explain the process, to give clients peace of mind that everything is being handled professionally, and to make their move as stress free and easy as possible. For a "Simply Marva-lous Move" call Marva.

Theodore Craig: Marine Veteran, Iowa National Guard Combat Medic, and Dedicated Realtor
Born and raised in Iowa, I attended Martensdale-St. Marys High School. My military service in the Marines and as a Combat Medic in the Iowa National Guard instilled in me a deep sense of duty, honor, and compassion, which I bring to my role as a Realtor.
Real estate runs in my blood—my parents have been successful realtors for over 40 years. Following in their footsteps, I've committed myself to helping people find their dream homes, with a special focus on assisting military families.
Recently back from Hawaii, I’m excited to reconnect with my home state. Outside of work, I cherish time with family, my brother Chandler, and my Golden Retriever, Maverick. I’m also passionate about community service, especially supporting veterans.
Let’s start this journey together!
