About Me

Hi there—My name is Akimi Oya, your local expert in residential and commercial real estate in the Iowa City and Cedar Rapids area. I am originally from Japan but have lived in the Iowa City area most of my life. With a strong background in both commercial and residential real estate, plus hands-on experience managing my own rental portfolio, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. In just my first two years in real estate, I closed over $22 million in real estate transactions, working closely with investors and homeowners alike to achieve their goals. Whether you’re looking to grow your rental portfolio, find your dream home, or sell your current home, I’m here to help every step of the way.

I believe that buying or selling a home should be a fun and exciting journey, and I’m dedicated to making the process as smooth and enjoyable as possible for my clients. I’m a strong advocate for my clients, always working to secure the best possible outcome for them. With a commitment to diligent negotiation, I ensure that every detail is handled with care, striving to exceed my clients' expectations.

When I'm not doing real estate, you can find me on a run, trying out local exercise classes, or taking a walk around the neighborhood. Health and fitness is important to me, and I'm always trying to find ways to stay active! I am also a volunteer coach for Girls on the Run nonprofit at my local elementary school—it’s the perfect way for me to stay active while making a positive impact in my community. You may see me from time to time on a pickleball court. I'm a foodie at heart, so I love exploring local coffee shops and new restaurants. Sunday dinners at my parents' house is my favorite way to end the weekend!

My mission is to turn your real estate goals into reality, making the journey as enjoyable as the destination. Whether you're buying, selling, or investing, I’m committed to providing the highest level of service with integrity, care, and enthusiasm. Let’s work together to make your next real estate move a success.

Testimonials

Akimi did a great job helping me purchase my first investment property (long-term rental). As a rookie, I had many questions on the process and Akimi was always available and quick to respond to the questions that I had. Even after closing, Akimi kept in touch to make sure I understood what the next steps were to quickly find a tenant and manage the rental property. I truly appreciate the support from Akimi throughout the whole process!

Akimi did an amazing job working with us to buy our first home. Being new to the process we had a lot of questions and she was always very patient and took the time to explain all the information. She was always just a phone call or text away and very responsive. The home buying process for us was seamless with Akimi. She was a knowledgeable resource during the negotiation process as well. Would recommend her, 10/10!
