Peoples Company History

Peoples Company’s proud history began in the 1960s and was established in the farm management department of Peoples Trust and Savings Bank in Indianola, Iowa.

In 1972, the farm management department and real estate brokerage was separated from the bank into what is now known as Peoples Realty Company. In 2002, the current ownership team acquired the majority interest of the company and began building the foundation for the organization we are today and the future growth of the Peoples Company brand.

With an industry-leading website and aggressive marketing strategies proven to drive land sales, Peoples Company has grown into the leading provider of land brokerage, land management, and land investment services in the Midwest.

Our rural heritage and our ties to the land are the core of our business and we hold true to that statement that “everything starts with land.” It is on this “everything starts with land” premise that – with a global perspective – Peoples Company built innovative real estate solutions into our vision, mission and values with services now offered in eight Midwest states.
