Hey! I'm Jackson Krile - a Central Iowa REALTOR®, active house hacker, and the person behind the House Hack Jack YouTube channel. Licensed in Iowa since 2018, I am a residential and investment specialist with the Flanders Team at RE/MAX Real Estate Center in Ames, proudly serving the Ankeny to Ames corridor and 20+ Central Iowa communities.
My primary focus is helping first-time buyers, small investors, house hackers, and move-up sellers. I don't just recite theory; I bought my first house hack in 2020 and continue to invest locally, sharing the real numbers - and the lessons learned - on my YouTube channel. When you ask me if the numbers on a duplex actually work, you are getting an answer grounded in real, local experience.
The Flanders Team runs on three words: proactive, relationship-driven, and referable. Together, we have completed over 345 transactions and $101M+ in volume since 2018. I've earned RE/MAX 100% Club recognition in 2021, 2022 and 2025 and Executive Club in 2019, 2020, 2023 and 2024, and the team has been named to RealTrends America's Best in 2023, 2024 and 2025. Most of my business comes from repeat clients and referrals because I would rather give you an honest answer than an easy one. I will absolutely tell you when a house isn't worth it, when a deal doesn't pencil out, or when the right move is to simply wait.
Whether you are looking for your first home, your next investment property, or your forever home, I've got you covered. When you're ready, reach out to get my personalized Client Guide, which walks you through everything from financing to the questions worth asking before you write an offer!
