Tricia Van Roekel, REALTOR®

The Social Butterfly

With more than 25 years of experience in real estate, two children, and a busy volunteer schedule, it’s no surprise she’s a social butterfly. Tricia’s clients (many now friends) say her energy, friendly personality, commitment to service, and experience are what make her an outstanding REALTOR®.

Tricia graduated from Iowa State University, then moved to Iowa City to raise her family. She and her husband Eric, an engineer with Procter and Gamble, have built three new construction homes and remodeled a home together—experiences that have given Tricia unique insights into homeownership and area neighborhoods.

Now that her children are away at college and life has slowed down, Tricia is rediscovering life as an empty nester. She’s an active volunteer with United Way and Go Red for Women Heart Association, and she’s a church deacon at Parkview Church. When she isn’t volunteering or working, Tricia is attending UI sporting events, spending time with friends and family, golfing, walking in her neighborhood, or taking beach vacations.

What Clients Say About Tricia Van Roekel

“Tricia helped secure the perfect home for our growing family of four. She went above and beyond to help get our house ready for the market, and with her expertise we were able to sell our house much quicker than expected. She went out of the way to make our family feel comfortable with the home selling process and was ALWAYS available to answer any questions or concerns we had along the way. She is certainly an expert in the Iowa City/Coralville/North Liberty area and she made sure we had access to all available properties in our price range as well. Tricia made sure the home buying and selling processes went as smooth as possible. Her passion and drive for real estate is palpable. We will most certainly be contacting her for any home needs in the future. ”
