Jon Lipovac
Co-Founder, Build Smart Iowa
I am a central Iowa native born and raised in West Des Moines. I enjoy spending time with my beautiful wife of 24 years and our quickly growing children. I also enjoy getting outdoors as often as possible to golf or hunt. Living and working my whole life here has given me an exceptional knowledge of the growing and vibrant communities in, and around Central Iowa.
My experience spans 21 years in Real Estate, first as a remodeler, landlord, homebuilder, and now a Real Estate Agent. I have experience encompassing first time home buyers to high end luxury homes and everything in between. I pride himself with a high level of customer service, integrity, and excellent negotiating skills. Also being the past Owner of Trinity Homes, I am very knowledgeable in the area of new construction and work very well with other builders.
So, whether you are first time home buyers, downsizing, looking for you dream property, or looking for a new construction builder, I would be honored to walk you through your Real Estate transaction.

Amy Lipovac
Co-Founder, Build Smart Iowa
Having raised my family in central Iowa, I bring both personal experience and professional insight to the greater Des Moines real estate market. After working alongside my husband, Jon, behind the scenes for more than a decade, I’m proud to now serve as a licensed partner of the Lipovac Team. Together, we offer a unique perspective as Realtors and homebuilder partners who have watched neighborhoods grow from the first stages of dirt work to families moving in and building community. I’ve lived it and now I’m passionate about helping others find their place here too.
I specialize in guiding clients through seamless transitions whether that means selling a current home, navigating the excitement and details of new construction, or finding an existing home that perfectly fits their goals. With the Lipovac Team by your side, you’ll have clear communication, local expertise, and dedicated support at every step.
Let’s connect to discuss your goals and how we can help you make your next move with confidence.

What Central Iowa Families Are Saying
Don't take our word for it. Here's what real families across Waukee, Des Moines, and Central Iowa say about working with us.
5.0 — All 5-star reviews
"Jon was absolutely invaluable when we built our custom home. His background as a builder meant he caught things during construction that we never would have noticed. We felt truly protected."
"As empty nesters, we wanted to downsize into a beautiful new home without the stress. Jon and Amy made the entire experience seamless. They knew every detail and answered every question we had."
"We were buying with another builder and a friend recommended we use Jon as our Realtor. Best decision we made. He reviewed our contract and negotiated upgrades we didn't even know to ask for."
"From lot selection to final walkthrough, Jon and Amy held our hand through every step. The quality of our home is exceptional and we couldn't be happier. Jon and Amy are the real deal."
"We looked at resale homes for months before a friend said call Jon and Amy. Within weeks we were under contract on a spec home that checked every single box. We wish we'd called sooner!"
"The expertise Jon brings as both a builder and a Realtor is truly unique. He knew exactly what to look for during our walkthrough and made sure the builder addressed every item. Highly recommend."
