Show Notes

In 2011, Ashley Okland, a 27-year-old realtor, was tragically shot and killed during an open house in West Des Moines, Iowa. Nearly fifteen years later, Kristin Ramsey was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. The case went cold until a recent grand jury indictment brought new developments. Oklands death sparked a nationwide safety pledge for realtors, forever changing how open houses and showings are handled. Key steps include meeting clients first at an office, collecting identification, and always having a companion present. Oklands story continues to influence realtors daily practices, and her family has expressed gratitude for the long-awaited justice.
