Leaving a Legacy
Written by: Michaela Feldmann
What started out as a simple idea for Jose Sebastian and his wife, Maria Violeta Sebastian, has now evolved into a full-blown family business 15 years later.
“Maria was working at a factory in town, and we found out she was pregnant,” recalls Jose. “At the time, I was mowing on the side and kind of picked up a spare job whenever I could. She came to me and said, ‘Why don’t we start cleaning houses, too?’”
Back then, Jose says jobs came from word of mouth and knocking on doors. One day, a mowing job on the west side of Sioux City changed everything.
“The homeowner asked if I knew anyone who did landscaping, and suggested that I should do it. At first, I turned it down because I didn’t think I had the knowledge, but they took a chance on me, and the job turned out great. The client said, ‘There you go. You’re a landscaper now!’ and it just grew from there.”
On the side, Maria and Jose continued the housekeeping side of the business. It wasn’t long before J and V Landscaping and Housekeeping were officially born. Maria worked inside customers’ homes, making sure that bathrooms and kitchens were spotless.
“That’s her specialty,” says daughter Ruby. “She really takes pride in making sure the client is always happy with the job." Jose notes that people started to notice their great work, and their clients began passing the word around.
“As we got bigger, I started taking my daughter Ruby, my son Jose, and my other kids to jobs,” explains Jose. “They would put flyers on doors, rake, do spring cleaning, or come mow. One day, I asked Ruby to help me in the office as a manager, and she’s been there ever since.”
Today, the business has expanded. On the landscaping side, the business includes a team of six, which includes son Jose as the crew lead/ project manager. They offer landscape lighting, retaining walls, patios, walkways, concrete work, landscape renewals, and a little bit of everything in between.
Landscaping LLC
“One of the biggest requests we get for landscaping is walls,” explains Ruby. “Maybe it wasn’t done right the first time by another company, or it’s getting old. Some people want help transforming an outdoor space with patios. It’s just always based on what the client wants.”
On the professional cleaning side, Maria and her team of four take care of all housekeeping needs, offering general or deep cleaning, post-construction cleaning, commercial and residential cleaning with biweekly, weekly, or monthly options.
“Our ladies never split up job sites,” continues Ruby. “Maria focuses on those harder places while the other ladies focus on the rest. Our goal is to make sure the clients are happy.”
Integrity and work process are what set them apart.
“We don’t stray from that process,” states Ruby. “Our goal is to keep the client informed throughout, from the initial pre-walkthrough to the final walkthrough, using our sign-off sheet to communicate their estimated costs.”
“If we promise something, you can count on us to follow through,” adds Jose.
But the family business doesn’t stop there. Jose says his brother Guillermo works on the accounting side of the businesses.
“I feel really lucky to get to work with my family every day,” shares Jose. “Maria is the backbone of all of this. She got us started. There are days when I might want to give up, but Maria inspires me. She helps me push through, and she tells me I can do it. Being part of a family business allows you to lean on each other. We have each other’s backs, and we are just so grateful to the community for having us.”

to Advocate for Policies to Promote Housing Availability and Increase Access to Homeownership
During the 2025 National Association of REALTORS® Legislative Meetings, three members of the Northwest Iowa Regional Board of REALTORS® (NWIA) met with members of Congress in Washington, D.C., to advocate for policies that will increase the housing supply and improve access to homeownership.
Members and staff of the NWIA REALTORS® met with Congressman Randy Feenstra and Senator Charles Grassley and discussed:
• Private property rights;
• Building housing supply and opportunity for all;
• Support for self-employed professionals;
• How NAR research products show the impact of real estate on the economy and the vital role it plays for consumers, and;
• The importance of property ownership in building safe, resilient communities.
“Real estate represents nearly one-fifth of the United States’ GDP. The meetings on Capitol Hill were an opportunity for us to talk directly with lawmakers about the positive impact REALTORS® have in local communities and for the broader economy,” said Christy Conrad, President, Northwest Iowa Regional Board of REALTORS®.
NAR and NWIA support policies addressing the estimated 4.7 million home shortage in America. Increasing the supply of housing, easing market constraints, and making it easier for Americans to find affordable homes will stabilize prices, revitalize communities, and support the American Dream of homeownership.
“Homeownership builds generational wealth, but a 4.7 million home shortage threatens middle-class prosperity. The members of Congress we met with were receptive to our ideas and appreciated that REALTORS® are hard-working entrepreneurs who make the American Dream of homeownership possible,” added Conrad.
NAR, and state and local associations organized the meetings on Capitol Hill as a part of their advocacy efforts on behalf of the real estate industry.
The Northwest Iowa Regional Board of REALTORS® encompasses nearly 500 members, who are real estate professionals in a 13-county region.
NWIA CEO Denise Gutierrez (left), President Christy Conrad, and Director Jennifer Jansen, Federal Political Coordinator on behalf of Northwest Iowa REALTORS®, attend meetings with Iowa lawmakers on Capitol Hill on June 4.
