As a lifelong resident of greater Sioux Falls, I’ve had the joy of watching my two boys grow up in this vibrant community. My eldest, now 20, has enjoyed everything from sports leagues to summer camps throughout his childhood. Now, as I jump back into these activities with my youngest, who’s just 7, I’m reminded every day of the incredible opportunities our city offers for families.

The ease of raising a family here in Sioux Falls is something I’ve experienced firsthand, and it’s a big part of why I love helping families and individuals relocate and integrate into our great city.

Despite national trends suggesting a cooling in some markets, we at Amy Stockberger Real Estate are not witnessing a slowdown. Families continue to relocate to our area, drawn by the promise of a vibrant community and robust job opportunities. This constant influx ensures that Sioux Falls remains a dynamic hub for both real estate and professional growth.

For over 15 years, I have helped local companies attract and retain good talent and have created and refined our Corporate Partnership Program, designed to alleviate the pressures local companies face in today’s competitive talent marketplace.

We’ve helped hundreds upon hundreds of individuals and families relocate to Sioux Falls, providing a seamless transition that allows your company to focus on what it does best while we handle the intricacies of relocation and integration. From rising costs of attracting and retaining talent to the challenges of employee disengagement, our program offers a comprehensive solution.

Our all-inclusive approach, including community tours, are tailored around candidates’ preferences, ensuring that they are fully educated on all things retail, recreation, restaurants and residential living. My YouTube channel, “Living In Sioux Falls,” showcases the lifestyle awaiting them.

Our town’s warm and friendly atmosphere, which I like to call “South Dakota friendly,” consistently impresses. A prospect from New York noted the friendliness as something nearly unimaginable back home, and another from Denver marveled at the warm greetings in our local grocery store. Such experiences are often the first highlights candidates share during our tours.

Sioux Falls is experiencing impressive growth in the real estate market. New listings in the metro area have shot up by 18.7 percent on a 12-month average, and pending sales are up by 33.4 percent. Our inventory levels have seen a healthy increase of 19.6 percent on a 12-month average.

New listings have shot up by 38.4 percent, and pending sales are up by 61.4 percent. Our inventory levels have seen a healthy increase of 10.7 percent, pushing the median sales price up by 3.1 percent to $295,000. CoreLogic even notes that South Dakota leads the nation with a year-over-year home price increase of 13.8 percent, the highest in the United States. It’s these dynamics that fuel our commitment at Amy Stockberger Real Estate to not just serve but also integrate every newcomer into our community.

Our Corporate Partnership Program highlights the value we provide not only to new employees but also to their families and your leadership team. This program, a recruitment concierge service, is designed to save your company significant resources while boosting your ability to attract and retain top-tier talent both locally and globally. I have even created an additional employee benefit package for companies to add into their current packages to help with attraction and retention. 

Our Lifetime Home Support Model™ ensures that every aspect of homeownership, from the initial purchase through ongoing maintenance, is managed with professionalism and care. This holistic approach means that we don’t just facilitate property transactions; we create welcoming environments that foster long-term satisfaction and community integration, including all the referrals they will need from physicians, dentists and banking needs to hairstylists, Botox, the best entertainment venues and so much more. Our approach is all-inclusive, taking care of the client before, during and forever after. 

At Amy Stockberger Real Estate, we also invest heavily in the training and development of our agents to ensure they are the most knowledgeable in the region. I personally train my agents to ensure their community tours are spot-on for candidates. We hire a coach bus once a year for the city planner to educate them on the happenings in our city, and we organize field trips to our local Home Support Team partners to ensure their tools are as sharp as possible so they can be the local knowledge brokers on everything in Sioux Falls.

If you’re a recruiter, human resource professional, business owner — big or small — and want to learn more about how our Corporate Partnership Program can help you attract and retain good talent while saving you thousands of dollars, contact me today. I can help you sell Sioux Falls as not just a place to live, but a thriving home for your team and a prime destination for top talent.
