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.
