About

Peoples Company’s proud history began in the 1960s and was established in the farm management department of Peoples Trust and Savings Bank in Indianola, Iowa. In 1972, the farm management department and real estate brokerage was separated from the bank into what is now known as Peoples Realty Company.   In 2002, our current ownership team acquired the majority interest of the company and began building the foundation for the organization we are today and the future growth of the Peoples Company brand. 

With an industry-leading website and aggressive marketing strategies proven to drive land sales, Peoples Company has grown into the leading provider of land brokerage, land auctions, land management, land valuation, crop insurance, and land development services in the Midwest. Our exceptional sales team works with brokers, farmers, investors, lenders, developers, CPAs and other real estate professionals to connect buyers and sellers of land throughout the Midwest.

Lead by Peoples Company President and CEO Steve Bruere, our innovative and relationship-driven agents value honesty, integrity and respectfulness. Our rural heritage and our ties to the land are the core of our business and we hold true to that statement that “everything starts with land.”
