Marc Simpson

Licensed in IA

Iowa City Office

1075 Highway 1 West
Iowa City, IA 52246

Real estate has been my career for more than 30 years, including 24 years with Ruhl & Ruhl REALTORS. As a lifetime Eastern Iowa resident, I have helped generations of buyers and sellers throughout Iowa City, Coralville, West Liberty, North Liberty, and the surrounding communities. With more than 700 completed buyer and seller transactions, my experience includes residential homes, commercial and investment properties, farms and acreages, and everything from first-time purchases to complex real estate transactions.

What I value most is earning the trust that comes with helping people make important decisions. I especially enjoy working with first-time home buyers because I can use decades of local knowledge to explain the process, answer questions, and make an unfamiliar experience feel more manageable. My role is to provide honest advice, solve problems, and guide the transaction while remembering that my clients are always the ones making the final decisions.

Over the years, I have also built strong relationships with local lenders, inspectors, contractors, attorneys, and other professionals who can help keep a transaction moving smoothly. Inspection issues and unexpected challenges are often where experience matters most, and I work hard to help clients stay informed, comfortable, and confident from start to finish.

My connection to Eastern Iowa goes far beyond real estate. My family has deep roots in the area, and I have spent years coaching youth, junior high, JV, and varsity sports through West Liberty schools and community programs. I enjoy being part of a smaller community where I know generations of families, neighbors, teachers, coaches, and business owners. Outside of real estate, I am a sports fan, golfer, and proud Hawkeye supporter.

I am grateful to have earned numerous Ruhl & Ruhl sales and service honors throughout my career, including multiple Double Diamond Club awards, repeated recognition as a Top Sales Agent and Top Lister in the Iowa City Office, and the Council of Residential Specialists designation. Most recently, I achieved Double Diamond Club status again in 2026, continuing a long history of sales recognition throughout my career.

I am also especially proud to have received the Gold Star Award from the Iowa City Area Association of REALTORS. This peer-voted honor recognizes the Realtor fellow members across the association most prefer to work with. To me, recognition from other real estate professionals reflects the same values I try to bring to every transaction: dependability, professionalism, cooperation, problem-solving, and serving people the right way.

The ABSOLUTE BEST realtor!

Stephen Spilger

Iames & Vista Smid

Marc was super nice, truthful and very professional throughout the transaction. He always had our interest as top priority and even drove 35 miles at 9:00PM to get our signatures on an offer! He is very dedicated to both his family and his job at Ruhl&Ruhl. Not a pushy person but very honest!

Excellent! Marc provided consistent contact throughout the process, gave excellent advice and is very reliable. He has sold 2 homes for us in the last 6 months and helped us buy another. We recommend him highly.

Neva & Shannon Sheehan

I was a positive experience even with market being so tight!

Brade De Riemacker

Marc was amazing from start to finish. My house was literally on the market for approximately four hours before we had an accepted offer! Marc simplified the process and made it a breeze. I've already recommended him to others!

Oscar Duane Hiller

Marc handled all issues that came up quickly and professionally. As well as successfully and quickly marketing my house during a slow time of the year. He was always quick to respond to any of my calls, or texts and provide me with answers to any questions. His help was greatly appreciated and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a real estate agent.

Carly Ambrisco

Marc Simpson is an excellent realtor and was very attentive to all of my needs.

Eric & Sherry Zehr

I am a do it yourself guy. I don't have much faith in the professional occupations. I find most to be no better than the motor vehicle used car salesman. However, I found Marc Simpson a true professional in every sense of the word. Marc has a staller attitude. He is consistent and persistent without being pushy. Marc is what any salesperson should be.

Madison & Jeffery Barnes

Marc was very responsive during the process and his experience showed.

Rufina Neild
