If you are facing foreclosure or falling behind on payments, John J. Mauro can sit down with you for a confidential, no-pressure conversation about your real estate options. He is a full-time Iowa REALTOR® with more than 20 years of experience in the Des Moines market, affiliated with RE/MAX Real Estate Concepts.

Sell as-is · Local investor network
John works with a network of local cash investors who can make you an offer. He can connect you with them — he does not buy homes himself.
John J. Mauro is a licensed real estate agent in Iowa, brokered by RE/MAX Real Estate Concepts. Cash offers come from independent investors in John’s network, not from John. Sellers are free to list on the open market instead, which may bring a higher price.
Short sales & pre-foreclosure
Every situation is different, and no one can promise a particular result. These are some of the real estate paths people often ask about. John can help you understand how a sale might work; your lender, a HUD‑approved housing counselor, or an attorney should guide you on loan and legal questions.
It often helps to contact your lender early — even if you are unsure what to say. Your lender is the party that can discuss loan-level options. John can talk with you about the real estate side and, if you choose a short sale, work with you and your lender on that process.
If a sale of the home could pay what you owe, listing and selling in the usual way — before a foreclosure sale — may be one path to talk through. John can review the local market with you and explain what a sale would involve, with no pressure to decide on the spot.
A short sale is when the lender agrees to let the home be sold for less than the balance of the mortgage. It requires the lender’s approval, and approval and terms are entirely up to the lender. If this is a path you want to explore, John can help you understand the process and represent you in the real estate transaction.

I am particular with what I like and don't like. John was very patient. Each time we would look at a house he would check to see if this is what we liked, could we see ourselves in the home. Any concerns I had, John was always prompt to follow up with me. I felt like at the time I was his only client.
John was great to work with! He was very attentive and took care of all the details. He made selling our old home and buying a new home so much easier. John always responded in a timely manner and he made sure we really loved what we were buying!
Made looking for our first house a fun and low stress experience! Was very honest, gave great advice, and was very knowledgeable as he was helping us through looking at different properties. Would highly recommend for any first time home buyer or anyone looking to buy a property in general!
Was very patient and took the time to show me homes that fit my budget and taste. He didn't waste my time by showing me 300k plus houses I couldn't afford and wasn't pushy. He was also very honest and upfront with the properties he was showing us as well.
John was amazing! He called us all the time with any information he thought we would want to know or need to know. He was knowledgeable about details, and he was attentive to all of our questions and needs.
John was excellent to work with, he showed me every house that suited me best. I needed a ranch home with wide space to suit my disabled mother and suit my sister and her two kids. He was very patient with me in the home search process...
Nice guy, non-pressure, Very responsive... would recommend! ... Talked about possibilities as to what to do with the house, as well as troubles I may run into. Appreciated the honesty he provided.
John Mauro has sold two homes for us and also helped us purchase our most recent home. He's professional and a fantastic realtor.
John Mauro is the best he always called me back and even answered my questions late at night when I couldn't fall asleep till I knew answer.
