Eileen Van Kooten - Schmitt of CENTURY 21 Signature Real Estate

I've known Eileen for many many years and knew she would be the realtor I'd want to use. She is very knowledgeable and very helpful in pointing out pros and cons for the different properties. Eileen is the best and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a new home!

We were very pleased with Eileen Van Kooten-Schmitt's pricing of our Beaverdale house & strategy for quick turnaroud timeline for handling potential offers that came in. Also, when first buyer's offer fell through, Eileen was very proactive in helping us understand options for handling next (future) buyer so that terms of that agreement matched terms of first buyer's agreement.

Eileen Van Kooten - Schmitt made my search for a home a breeze! She was very knowledgeable in helping me choose my locations to narrow my search. She respected my opinions and was able to figure out the type of home that is right for me and my lifestyle. She came to all my walkthroughs and great at pointing out things I may have missed, and was never pushy to make a sale. As a first time home buyer, she never made me feel bad for asking questions on things I did not know, and was able to explain them in a clear and concise way. I never struggled in contacting her. Call, text, email, and she always made time for me! I had such a pleasure working with Eileen and would recommend her to my friends & family too!

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.
