About Quarm Investments, LLC

Quarm Investments, LLC is more than a real estate company — it’s a movement for equitable development and sustainable transformation. Based in North Liberty, Iowa, we were founded in 2025 to address the urgent housing needs of underserved communities across the state.

Our Origin

Our story began with three individuals from different backgrounds — a finance expert, a field operator, and a strategic technician — who shared a common frustration: watching Iowa’s housing stock deteriorate while local families struggled to find affordable, dignified homes. Together, we created Quarm Investments to do something about it. Today, we are 33.33% minority-owned and driven by a mission to uplift communities, one property at a time.

Our Mission

To revitalize underserved neighborhoods through strategic real estate investment — creating high-quality housing, empowering underrepresented communities, and delivering long-term value to our investors and the families we serve.
