Incredibly informed and always prompt in communication.

Went above and beyond to make sure we found the perfect home for us.

Being out of town we needed bigger plan and more advice.

"We considered going with the broker that we had used previously, but ultimately got glowing recommendations from several friends about working with Jessica. We are glad that we did decide to go with her, because the experience with her was so much better than what we had with the last lady we worked with. Jessica helped us both buy and sell at the same time. She was able to show us several houses that we were interested in, but Jessica helped guide us towards making offers on the ones that we actually had a chance of getting. She gave us her honest opinion on which ones weren't worth what they were asking for it. Once we did get an accepted offer on buying a house, Jessica helped us find a buyer for our house before it even hit the market. She talked us through the pros and cons of accepting the offer without doing more showings, and then stepped back and let us make the decision without any pressure. She helped us navigate the negotiations and got us more than we'd hoped for in the sale. She loves what she does, and genuinely cares about the people she's working with. There was a lot of start and stops in our process that we couldn't control, but she did a fantastic job of checking in often without going overboard. She was always happy to answer our questions or guide us to someone who could answer them better. She was fantastic to work with, and always got back to me extremely quickly. She knows what she's doing, and she does it well."

"When choosing a real estate agent, I primarily considered the advice of people I trust. Jessica Gilligan came recommended by my brother (who worked with her previously is very happy with his house) and I knew that she was very familiar with the Ankeny area.

I am glad that I followed his advice, because Jessica was all-around excellent. Jessica communicated in a clear and timely fashion throughout the entire home-buying process. As a first time home buyer, I relied a lot on her experience and the advice she shared. Additionally, she did a great job researching properties I was interested in. I always had the information/documentation I needed to make informed decisions throughout the process.

Most importantly, when I found a home that I loved, she helped me form a winning offer without going outside of my price range. Following Jessica's advice, I was able to purchase the home I wanted, in a tough market, and while competing against another (higher) offer. Needless to say, I will certainly be recommending her to friends and family in the future."

"Jess made everything super easy for us - especially considering we were living in Milwaukee at the time and Covid was going on. She was willing to give us virtual tours and chat with us on any questions or interests we had. She was able to get us into multiple houses before they even were on the market. Jess did a great job and we loved working with her!

Jess was great! We can’t stress that enough. She knew exactly what our style was and was able to help guide us to find potential options for us. She also guided us as first time home buyers - which was very comforting. It was invaluable having her on our side since we really didn’t know what to ask/expect at times. Her experience and ability to step in and give us an experienced opinion was very comforting. She also knew how to work with the builders of the new build we landed on to ensure we were not being taken advantage of ever.

There isn’t much more we can say! It was super easy and fun to work with Jess. She’s the best!

I had grown up with Jess (went to the same high school) and knew how friendly and hard working she was. It made selecting her very easy because I knew she would treat us well and she would understand our preferences/style.

You can tell how hard Jess works to make her clients feel comfortable throughout the entire home buying process. She made the entire process stress free for us - and that was the best feeling ever."

We had her stop by to give us an idea of things to work on prior to listing. We took all of these items into consideration. Our home received an offer 2 days after being listed.

Not only is she professional but also a great friend. She has gotten to know our family and children.

"Jess went above and beyond our expectations for a realtor. Buying a house when the market is hot and houses are limited can have its challenges, yet Jess rose to such occasion. When our dream starter home was listed, and we knew it wouldn't be on the market long, Jess was accommodating and available right away. Then, when we were ready to put in an offer, we were thrown for a loop when our original lender was out of office and unavailable to provide us with our pre-approval letter. Jess was ready with a list of outstanding lenders who she knew could pre-approve us quickly. Because of her, our first time home buying process went incredibly smooth. Jess is knowledgeable, driven, and passionate about helping her clients. We are beyond thankful to have had her with us through this next adventure of ours, and we would recommend her to absolutely anyone looking to buy or sell!"

"Jess is the absolute best real estate agent, person, and friend! We recently completed our fourth real estate transaction (second purchase and second sale) with Jess and I was reminded how amazing she is at her job! Her passion for her job and her clients is extremely evident with every interaction.

Very early on, we missed out on a home in the neighborhood we initially wanted to be in, as we looked before we were fully ready to purchase. Knowing we wanted to be in that neighborhood Jess went above and beyond what we expected of her and sent hundreds of letters to residents of the neighborhood in an attempt to find us a home in our desired location. She was so patient and professional as we looked at many houses (some as a result of responses to her letter!) and I waffled in making decisions.

On the sell side, Jess had the most amazing photos taken of our home, even having drone pictures taken to capture views of the golf course and interstate access that could not have otherwise been captured. We didn’t think it was possible for our second house to sell as fast as our first but we received a full price offer within two hours of listing taking a huge weigh off our shoulders!

Jess is extremely responsive at all hours of the day and her organization is second to none. There was some information and documents we needed to list/sell our house we had purchased with Jess’s help two years prior and although we couldn’t come up with them, she had them in her files and sent them to us immediately upon request which was so helpful to us!

Jess provided very well informed advice based on her knowledge of the market but always asked us and valued our opinion.

I cannot say enough good things about Jess. I would highly recommend others work with Jess for their real estate needs!"

"Jessica Gilligan was an incredible resource not just for buying our first home, but for helping us navigate what was initially a brand new journey for us as first time homebuyers. She was always quick to respond to texts, emails, calls, and helped us see homes all over the metro at times that worked for our unpredictable work schedules.

We also appreciated Jessica's honesty - we knew we were getting honest and genuine feedback from Jessica and never at one point did she try to push a sale or put money first. She answered our many questions truthfully, was never trying to sugarcoat something but also let us know right away when something important came up. We knew when we walked through our first house with her that she was putting us and our wishes first.

Jessica was also very intuitive to our wants and needs - sometimes even we didn't know what we wanted, but Jessica was able to put together bits and pieces of things we mentioned and seemed to understand better than us what we were looking for in the end.

We would recommend Jessica to anyone buying in the metro, but especially to first-time homebuyers. We were never stressed thanks to Jessica's efficiency and expertise. Thanks again, Jessica!"

This other realtor was not providing the services we thought they should have been and we very frustrated. We happened to land upon Jess through a Facebook post she had made about a house that we were interested to hear more about. The house ended up being out of our price range but she contacted us every time the price had dropped. We were very impressed by this especially since we were not happy with our realtor at that time and decided to meet with her to see if she would be willing to work with us instead.

Jess exceeded all of our expectations. She was able to find us a house that met all of our wants and needs. She was patient with us while we looked at a lot of houses and was dedicated to find us the perfect house. As first-time homebuyers coming out of a bad experience with another realtor, she explained everything in terms that were easy to understand. I even remember telling my husband after the first time we met with her that I already learned more in the half hour we were with her than the year we were dealing with the other realtor, and we knew at that point that she was going to be the one that found us a house.

"We cannot say enough good things about Jessica Miller. She was friendly, kind, helpful, and comfortable, all while maintaining a high level of professionalism throughout. She made the process very easy and has a way of simplifying a fairly complicated process for her buyers and sellers - we had not worked with a realtor before, so Jess was always thorough and explained things at the appropriate level of detail so we were able to understand every aspect of the process. She was knowledgeable of the whole process and provided great advice when we needed it, but also always informed us that it was always ultimately our decision.

Jess is also available and flexible - she was often able to show us houses as soon as they hit the market and was very accommodating to my husband's odd work schedule. She was able to successfully maintain a busy schedule without ever making us feel rushed at a showing or meeting with her. She was approachable as well - we felt comfortable asking her any and all questions we had (there were a lot) and she was always able to provide an answer quickly. We trusted her throughout the whole process.

We were also never stressed about the common, occasional hiccups that come up in both the buying and selling processes - Jess always kept us informed, and we had confidence that she would handle them in our best interest. Her customer service is seriously top-notch - for example, we had some electrical issues with our house after closing on the day we moved in. We reached out to Jess and she immediately had an electrician come out to figure out the issue, and even came over while he was there to make sure everything went accordingly!

If we move again someday, we will no doubt be using Jessica Miller as our realtor. We already have and will continue to recommend Jess to all our family and friends. She truly cares about each of her clients and goes above and beyond to satisfy their needs.

Although we knew her previously in a different capacity, we were absolutely blown away by her professionalism, knowledge, responsiveness, and patience as our agent as we searched for our new home and prepared our home for sale. She provided well researched and thorough responses to my questions within minutes of me texting them to her. She scheduled showings within hours of us expressing interest in homes so we wouldn’t miss out on them in this demanding market. She was knowledgeable on aspects of homes not visible to the eye or known to the uneducated buyer, such as the builder of the home and why builders do things certain ways.

Once we had found our new home Jess worked quickly to get ours listed and sold within hours of listing. Her organization and attention to details within the contracts while still thinking big picture to coordinate the closure of both our previous and new home with the sellers and buyers agent was amazing. Her attention to detail saved our closings the day before they were scheduled to occur. Jess took care of a last minute fire drill which we didn’t even learn about until we showed up for closing, so we didn’t have to stress about it. She always had our best interest in mind and advocated for us throughout the entire process.

We strongly recommend working with Jess!"

"Jess was so helpful in the quick sale of our home. Our house actually sold before the actual list date. She is kind, patient and always available for our many questions by email, text or phone call. We so appreciate all that she did to help us sell our house quickly! We look forward to the coming weeks while she helps us find our new home!"

"Jess made the experience of buying our first house very pleasant. She made sure to clearly outline the steps of the process as well as what we could expect for timing and costs.

When looking at houses, Jess clearly had our best interests in mind, mentioning both positives and negatives of each house and how those would fit into our personal preferences.

All around, working with Jess was a great experience. She is kind, patient, and a fun person to work with. She was always available for questions and updates. After our experience with Jess, we would highly recommend her to others (especially first time buyers) and we hope to work with her again in the future!"

Whenever I reached out to Jessica, she would immediately get back to me. She was very patient as we searched for the perfect home for our family. We made multiple offers and were turned down 4 different times. Jessica was just as invested as we were to find our forever home. We knew we could trust her, as it was clear she had the best intentions and had our best interest in mind during the entire process.

"After reading her stellar reviews and meeting with Jessica, we knew she was the perfect fit for us in our search for our first home. Throughout the entire process she was incredibly accommodating of our schedules. We felt like a priority every step of the way. She was professional yet personable, and we felt comfortable 'pestering' her with any little question or to see a listing last minute. Beyond that, her communication throughout the entire process was great. In our search we looked at 20+ homes and never felt pressured to settle. She truly wanted the best for our family. In the end her connections allowed for us to get our home under contract before it even hit the market. Jessica made this home buying process as easy as possible and we couldn't be happier with our home! We recommend Jessica to all our family and friends as we boast about this amazing experience. We will absolutely work with Jessica again. Thank you!"

Jess was there to help us through the process step-by-step, promptly answering our (many) questions whenever we had them. She took the time to understand exactly what it was we were looking for in our future home and set up showings for any she thought would be a great fit.

"Jessica miller made this experience very easy for us as there was things that came up, she made sure to reach out to us when she had new information, or needed to update us, she always made herself available to us no matter what time or day it was, she was always on time when showing a house to us, she was very knowledgeable about every property we looked at always had a hand out so we knew what was next and we could look back and compare things. I would definitely recommend Jessica Miller to anyone she was a great pleasure to work with and if we ever sell or buy again she will be the first one we contact. Some things that stood out to us was we are very picky and she found the home that we purchased as we looked over it and didn't think we would like it she told us to just go look and see and I would definitely like to thank her for that if we didn't look at that one we would still be looking. Thanks again Jessica Miller for all the hard work you have done over the last month!"

"Jessica was amazing! My husband and I were first time home buyers and we kind of "fell" into Jessica. She was showing a house by change for her colleague and we happen to go look at it which was the first house we looked at. It was by far the best thing that happened. Jessica is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, family oriented, thoughtful, and truly listens to your wants and needs. You build a friendship, trust, and loyalty with her. The home buying process is incredibly frustrating, stressful and exciting all at once. She is vested and goes through the process with you from start to finish she is right by your side. We love you and thank you so much for helping our dream become a reality!

We would recommend her to our family and friends as well as have her as our realtor in the future if needed. Thank you Jessica you are a rockstar!"

"I met Jess for coffee to go over expectations and answer all of my questions before searching for homes. As a first time home buyer, it was really important for me to find someone who would understand my needs, and I could tell from our first meeting that Jess would be willing to do whatever it took to find me a house that I would be able to afford. When we found a house that had all of my must-haves, Jess walked me though writing the offer, gave me her opinions and suggestions, and we wrote the winning bid. I was blown away after I found out that the sellers didn't pick our offer because it was the highest, but for other reasons. It really impressed me that Jess knew which little details to include/not include in the offer to increase its chances of being selected. She made it very easy to buy a house! I HIGHLY recommend Jess to anyone looking to buy a house-- she is an expert in her field and I was so lucky to have her as my realtor!"

"I would 100% recommend Jessica to anybody I know. I'm not sure I have ever met somebody so in tuned with what I was looking for. I could make a little side comment during any of our interactions and she would remember what I had said. If one time I mentioned a characteristic about a house, she would remember that I had said that and point it out in the next house. She is a genuinely nice person while still being tough as nails when dealing with negotiations.

Jessica was available to me anytime I had a question (including some late hours). I would send an email late at night not expecting a response until the next day and she would respond right away. She made this process as easy and relaxing as it can be for a first time home buyer.

Weeks after my closing and moving, she still reaches out to me to check in things. She goes over and above what I ever would have expected out of a realtor. We were strangers when we started the home buying process and now I would consider her a friend."

"My fiancee and I were first time home buyers and were unsure of what to expect when we officially met Jessica Miller. She sat down with us and told us all about herself and we got to know her on a more personal level. I am sure there are some folks out there that just want to sell houses and don't care so much about the comfort of their clients, Jessica was not that way. Jessica truly cared about whether or not we would feel comfortable in a specific house, or if we would be safe in a specific neighborhood. She greeted us with a smile from day one and always had a smile on her face every time we met after that.

Not all homebuying adventures are easy and perfect, ours certainly had some hiccups along the way, and whenever we were unsure of what to do in a situation Jessica was there to clean it up for us and offer friendly advice. Jessica may not have had 20+ years of experience but she certainly took charge and made us feel as if she did, and that is an amazing comfort to have while making such an important decision."
