People Before Transactions.

An independent real estate brokerage serving Yankton, Lewis and Clark Lake, and Sioux Falls. Built on the idea that the right move is always more important than the next deal.

Who we are

The Move Group is an independent real estate brokerage based in Yankton, South Dakota, with a second office in Sioux Falls. We were founded in 2022 on one idea. Most agents are good at closing deals. Far fewer are good at telling you when not to do one.

We work with buyers and sellers across first homes, move-up purchases, lake and vacation properties at Lewis and Clark, acreages, and investment properties. Some clients are first-time buyers. Some are builders. Some are families on their fourth move. The work changes. The principle does not.

What we believe

The right move, not the easy one.

Sometimes the right move is to list. Sometimes it is to wait. Sometimes it is to walk away from a house that does not fit. The agent who tells you what you want to hear is not the agent you want representing you. We tell you what the market actually says, and we let you decide what to do about it.

Honest pricing over flattering pricing.

A list price that wins the meeting and then dies on the market is worse than a number you did not want to hear. We bring real comps, real Yankton data, and a three-option net sheet that shows you the math on every price. You see what we see. Then you choose.

Local expertise that is actually local.

We know Yankton. We know Riverside Acres and Timberland Park. We know how the lake market at Lewis and Clark moves and why it moves differently than in town. We know which contractors actually answer their phones. National real estate content is everywhere. Yankton-specific knowledge is what you came here for.

We respond fast.

A question that sits for two hours is a client who has already started doubting you. We answer the phone. We respond to texts and DMs quickly. When the answer is going to take time, we say so instead of going silent.

The relationship does not end at the closing table.

Most agents close on Friday and forget your name on Monday. We schedule a check-in at ninety days. We keep showing up. The agents who get repeat business and referrals are not the ones who tried hardest to sell you. They are the ones who stayed in touch after.

What we do

First homes.

The starter house you are nervous about. We slow it down, walk you through the math, and make sure the lender conversation happens before the showing conversation.

Move-up purchases.

You have outgrown where you are. We help you sell the current one well and find the right next one. The timing matters and we handle both ends.

Lake and vacation properties.

Lewis and Clark Lake is its own market with its own rhythm. Different buyer. Different cycle. Different financing. We know it well.

Acreages and land.

Out-of-town buyers and sellers who need someone who actually knows the rural water situation, the septic questions, the road access details. We have walked enough of these properties to know what to look for.

Investment properties.

Mason Schramm, broker/owner, also runs a general contracting business with a full-time crew. The investor conversation goes deeper than "here is a listing." Cash flow math, rehab budgeting, what the rental market actually pays in Yankton. You get a broker who has been on the other side of the table.

After the close

Most agents close the deal and disappear. We do not.

Ninety days after closing, we check in. Not as a sales pitch. To see how you are settling in, whether anything came up after move-in, whether there is anything we should know.

Real estate is a relationship business that occasionally produces transactions, not the other way around. The clients who refer friends to us, who come back five years later for the next move, who call us when their kid is buying their first place, those are the relationships we build. That only works if we are still here when you need us.

Whenever you're ready.

Whether you are buying your first home, listing the one you are in, or just trying to figure out where the market is right now, we are happy to talk. No pitch. Just a straight conversation about what you are looking at and whether we can help.
