I first met Eileeen Van Kooten almost 9 years ago when I decided to move from Omaha to the Des Moines area. My daughter had taght her kids at a local school and suggesred I contact her. I'm so glad I did. Eileen found me the perfect townhome in Ankeny. On the day we were supposed to close on my Omaha house and purchase Ankeny property, my buyers in Omaha had a problem with their loan, so I couldn't move in to my new home. My moving company was sitting in my new driveway and ready to unload. Eileen solved this problem by talking with selling agent who then allowed me to move into my mew home. Everything finally worked and I closed on this property. When I was ready to sell this property, I again called Eileen. She came to my townhome and made suggestions on needed repairs and how the process would work. My house sold in 13 hours to a pre-qualified buyer for more than the asking price! Everthing was going great until a problem was found with my title. Eileen calmed me and took me through a process which allowed this property to close on time! She's a fabulous agent. Her knowledge of real estate is tremendous.

Wonderful personality. Felt very comfortable with her. She understood my needs and desire to move at my own pace. Always eager to answer questions and give of her time.

I have bought and sold 12 homes in my lifetime and my experience with Eileen was the best experience I have ever had.

She was very personable and quickly became our partner in the search for our new home. She knew what we wanted, needed and did an excellant job of finding that perfect house. We were not in a hurry to find a new house and Eileen understood that. She found us the house that we could not pass up. Great experience. Everything went very smooth. Eileen kept us on the tracks and moving forward at all times. We quickly learned that she knew the process and that we could trust her to get us to the closing. When we walked out of the closing she said that she would be talking to us soon to help us get our old house ready to sell. I told her "Yeah you will, we are partners in this thing now". We wouldn't work with anybody else. Thank you!! Eileen was excellant to work with. We would highly recommend her and Century 21.
