Carla Vander Molen has been working with me on and off for nearly four years, helping me find the right home. She was knowledgeable and insightful, but never pushy, and encouraged us multiple times to do what's best for us. Nearly always accessible and timely with communication. Long story short, Carla rules, and you'd be silly not to work with her.
Carla Vander Molen was highly recommended to us after she helped my sister purchase her previous three homes. As my husband and I were doing our home buying search primarily from out-of-state, we needed someone who could quickly understand our wants and needs and guide us in our journey. From the beginning, Carla exuded warmth and made us feel both welcomed and a priority. Her extensive knowledge of the Pella market, her quick response time to any questions or needs, and her guidance and feedback on home tours built our confidence and trust in her understanding of what we wanted. Ultimately, that earned trust allowed us to submit an offer on a home without even seeing it! Within 6 hours of us expressing interest in a home that had just popped onto the market, Carla did a FaceTime tour, submitted an offer and called us with the good news that the sellers accepted! We are in a home we could only dream about thanks to her care, proactiveness and swift action. I would highly recommend Carla!
She was great to work with! She walked us through the process and kept us informed of everything. She listed it at a correct amount accordeing to her evaluations and she This was a tough time to see because of the Covid virus. We sold within 4 days but we had several delays because people were not working like normat and we were held up by some local closures.
Carla made our first home buying experience easy and stress free. She explained each step of the process to us and helped us with each step. I would highly recommend Carla to my friends and family. We appreciate her going above and beyond to make this a great buying experience!
Carla was outstanding in handling our request for help in finding a house. She showed us around Pella and arranged to show us several homes that fit our criteria. She eventually found us the property we purchased, then helped to negotiate a deal that was acceptable to all parties. Carla is a total professional and we consider a friend as well.

Carla made us feel comfortable immediately. She was familiar with the Pella community as well as the variety of homes we looked at. If she did not have an answer to our questions, she would research and give us an answer promptly. Approachable and friendly, Carla made searching for a home less arduous. Carla was patient with us as we worked through what we wanted in a home. We are completely content with our decision as she guided us to the perfect place.
Since this was for a job relocation I was placed with Carla Vander Molen and not really given a chance to pick a different broker, which I was worried about at first. Carla was very proactive at making initial contact with me to find out my needs and requirements. Even though I did not know her personally yet, she did a great job of introducing herself and making me feel comfortable working with her. Carla Vander Molen did a great job of working with me and my boyfriend to look at many houses in a short period of time. It was obvious that Carla is very knowledgeable of the Pella area and the surrounding towns. I appreciated her advice on what I should be looking for in each area. She did a good job of keeping me in the loop with all offers and the negotiation between the contracts. With Carla Vander Molen's knowledge of the area I would recommend her for any sale or purchase. Carla Vander Molen was very patient and understanding with me the entire time. I really liked how helpful she was and even when she had to tell me tough information I knew that she was being genuine. With me only having a short period of time to find a house Carla worked with me effortlessly to make sure that when I found the house to make an offer on I was sure it was the right one.
