MARSHALLTOWN – With 58 years of combined experience, the three REALTORS ® at No Limits Real Estate in Marshalltown pledge to do just that – have no limits in serving their clients.
In a recent interview at their offices at 207 E. Church St. Suite 104, Marshalltown, the trio of Magali Marquez, Kajun Morris, and Paula Price said they assist clients in the buying and selling of real estate from start to finish.
And they are clearly passionate. Friendship with professionalism yields sales. The trio produced $19,342,481 in sales with 127 homes sold in calendar year 2025, said Morris.
The businesswomen said they were pleased with the results having only opened the business in December of 2024.
“We were kicking it last year,” said Price.
“We go above and beyond,” said Marquez in answering a question about what makes their business stand out in a competitive environment. “We build relationships and connections with our buyers and sellers … so it is more than a transaction. Ninety-five percent of our business is referrals. We help our clients buy or sell a house and they come back. We are here from brainstorming to the sale or purchase to closing. We will drive one hour to deliver a check or documents. It also means working on Sundays. We just make it happen.”
Marquez has 16 years’ experience as a REALTOR® in Marshalltown where she resides with her family. Marquez said mortgage rates are currently favorable.
She also said that an individual or family can build up equity with a home purchase versus paying rent. The trio noted that rental expenses have accelerated since the global pandemic of 2020.
Morris has been a real estate professional for 10 years. She previously worked at First Rate Real Estate in Marshalltown with her mother, Jamie Bland, the former owner of the business. Marquez and Price eagerly credited Morris for her skills in social media.
The company’s Facebook page has photos of properties for sale or sold and more.
“We have had clients come to us because of what they have seen on social media,” Morris said.
“Kajun does a great job with our Facebook page,” Price said.
Morris lives in Clutier with her family. Consequently, she does business in Tama County and in the 50-60 mile radius of Marshalltown the business considers its primary area – although the team is licensed throughout Iowa.
Price is a 32-year real estate veteran.
“I grew up in Conrad so I do a lot of business there,” she said. “I do a lot in Marshalltown too.”
She is moving back to Marshalltown after living in the Montezuma area. Price previously worked for Marshall County at the courthouse and Emerson Process Management.
However, it is obvious she found her calling.
“I absolutely love helping people, which is why I enjoy my job as a REALTOR ®,” she said recently on the company’s Facebook page. “I find great joy in people finding the home they love or being able to help a seller move on to a new venture or new home in their life!”
The businesswomen opened at their office in December 2024 in the suite, which had been vacated. Along with family members they cleaned, painted, and assembled office furniture and more.
“We are a self-sufficient team here,” Price said. “We all work together in running the office. We do not have secretaries or accountants. And we collaborate, which is beneficial to our clients.”
Marquez, Morris and Price realize buyers and sellers have numerous choices in the Marshalltown area to assist in the buying and selling of property, which makes them work all the harder.
“I think Marshalltown is going to continue to grow,” Marquez said. “We have a great community here. I know kids leave for college but come back here and work as educators at the high school … residents work in Ames, Des Moines or Grinnell but live here … there are roots here.”
