Hi, I’m Jen Ries, and I’m proud to serve the Delhi, Iowa community as both an educator and a real estate professional. I teach Spanish at Maquoketa Valley High School, where I was honored to be named the 2026 Keystone Regional Teacher of the Year by the Iowa Department of Education. Teaching is truly one of my passions, and I love helping students grow in confidence, knowledge, and opportunity.
As a bilingual curriculum developer, I had the privilege of helping establish the Iowa State Seal of Biliteracy, creating opportunities for students to earn recognition for their language proficiency and preparing them for success in a global world.
Delhi has always been home. I grew up on the lake, and that experience shaped my deep appreciation for this community and the lifestyle it offers. As a mom of four, I understand how important it is to find not just a house, but the right place to build memories and put down roots.
Now that my kids are a little bit older, I’m excited to fully pursue both of my passions — teaching and real estate. I bring the same dedication, integrity, and strong communication skills from the classroom into every real estate transaction. Whether I’m guiding students or helping families find their perfect home, my goal is always the same: to serve with heart, commitment, and care.
