Hello

Hi, I'm Kane Powell

Kane Powell, Broker/Owner

Real estate made an imprint on my life that first day my grandpa pulled up in his Chevy Scottsdale pickup truck to take me to “work”. I was seven years old. He strapped a nail pouch and hammer to my waist, and I was hooked. Some of the best memories of my childhood were spent working alongside him and learning all aspects of the family construction business. I’ve spent most of my adult career working in real estate in one form or another. Whether it was in the mortgage department at Norwest Bank in the early 90’s or building our cabinet and countertop design and installation company from the ground up, managing over 12 employees, 30 subcontractors, and over 10,000 installs annually.

Commitment and dedication have been driving forces in me, along with an inclination to achieve mastery in an occupation, be it through education, certification, or designation. I strive for excellence because that is what I expect of myself and want to offer my clients. Being the owner-operator of an electrical and residential building company for the last 20+ years has only galvanized my optimism for the future. I enjoy working alongside my wife, and with my sons and daughters now prospectively coming up in business, life is good. Over the years, I have enjoyed a fair number of personal interests and hobbies, some of which have included scuba diving, hunting, fishing, and, of course, golf.

My wife and I moved to the community in 1999 to raise our family and have a vested interest in its continued development and success. Having spent many years on various boards and committees, including six years as a Lake Panorama Association Board member, I have come to appreciate this fine place we live and want to leave it better than when I arrived. We enjoy owning and operating Lake Panorama Realty because of our passion for this community and the opportunity to share that passion with those who trust us with their property.

So for me, it all comes down to this. Faith, family, fun, and real estate

Hi, I'm Dee Powell

Dee Powell, Broker Associate/Owner

My upbringing in Sully, Iowa, instilled in me an appreciation for the charm of small-town living. Since 1999, my husband Kane and I have called Panora and Lake Panorama our home, where we’ve raised our five children and found a close-knit community. As both business owners and partners, we’ve worked together since our marriage in 1998. I am passionate about this area and the support it gives to local businesses, and I am eager to showcase what Lake Panorama Realty can offer. As a licensed broker associate and closing coordinator, my primary goal is to provide exceptional, tailored service to everyone I work with. In my leisure time, I enjoy skydiving, exercising, traveling, and spending time with loved ones.

Hi, I'm Mason Babcock

Mason Babcock, Realtor

My family and I have been coming to the Lake Panorama area for over 25 years to visit family and enjoy the town and resort area. In 2020, I finally pulled the trigger and purchased my first property listed with Lake Panorama Realty and then purchased my second home in the area a couple years later, again listed with Lake Panorama Realty. The wonderful experience working with Dee and Kane lead me to ask if I could join their team.

During my lifetime I have lived in small Iowa communities as well as larger cities including Phoenix and the Des Moines metropolitan area in Urbandale. I appreciate the amenities and opportunities of these differing locations and am confident that I can assist you in your real estate needs no matter where you might want to live or purchase your next home.
 
While working as an educator I joined a couple of friends and colleagues in a painting business which ultimately lead to me starting my own painting and handyman services business to support my family. I have more than 20 years of experience helping clients prepare their homes to be listed on the market,
which I believe makes me a better real estate agent, whether working with you as a buyer agent or a listing agent.
 
I am a lifelong learner and I am passionate about assisting people attain their goals. My first career in education was about guiding students as they obtain their degrees and my second career in real estate helping clients acquire a new home are very similar in many ways. Both are milestones that I enjoy being a part of whether assisting college students or clients.
 
My formal education includes degrees from Iowa State University and Drake University, but some of my favorite learning experiences have been working cooperatively with others and often when I have traveled internationally for service-learning trips. I still lead service-learning trips to Central America for
Iowa State University where we help students improve their leadership skills and understand the ethical and social responsibilities they have as global citizens.
 
In my free time I enjoy about any outdoor activity such as boating, hiking, golfing, hunting etc. For my wife and I living in a smaller community and being able to enjoy the outdoors made the Lake Panorama community a perfect fit for us. I will work tirelessly to find you your perfect fit.
