Buying our first house was an intimidating process at first but Jess made it so easy, seamless, and fun! She was incredibly responsive to our questions/comments/concerns and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. We can't say enough great things about working with Jess and are so happy that she was the one who guided us through the process of buying our first home. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, punctual, detail oriented, and genuinely cares, you won't be disappointed by working with Jess. Thanks a bunch, Jess!!

Jess is simply awesome to work with. This is the second transaction we've worked with her on - and it was a no-brainer to engage her services again. Jess's knowledge of the local markets and specific developments were critical as we were searching a wide radius for our next home. Her responsiveness, patience, attention to detail, and organizational skills were huge value-adds to the entire process. We would highly recommend - and look forward to working with her again in the future.

Jess has gone above and beyond for us since we got in contact early August. She made selling our first home easy and quick. 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. November 2020
Not only is she professional but also a great friend. She has gotten to know our family and children.
We look forward to our continued relationship as she helps us navigate building our next home to raise our children in. She is always readily available and able to answer whatever questions we may have. 100% recommend and look forward to keeping in touch with her long past the close of our new build.

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.September 2020
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.August 2020
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!

For first time home buyers, the process of buying a home can seem overwhelming. Between working with the bank to getting pre-approved to narrowing down where we wanted to buy a home, we were so thankful to have Jessica. She was patient with us when we needed a little extra time getting pre-approved and continued to check up on us for months afterwards to let us know she still wanted to work with us. As we started the process she helped explain escrow, home inspection and terms we didn't understand with home buying. She continued to give us reminders when we found our home and checked in with us till closing. She helped us find the perfect home for our family and we're so grateful for everything she's done! We would definitely recommend Jess! ?

Jessica was very knowledgeable throughout the whole process. She communicated clearly and concisely and always gave her honest opinion about a house we were touring. During one visit, she pointed out some cracks in the basement foundation that I had not seen that concerned her. She was always well-prepared with the sellers disclosure to let us know of any issues with a house. She was very prompt with her communication as well. She reminded us of deadlines and timeframes to ensure we didn't lose the house we wanted! Jessica was incredibly timely and professional in her communication. She was very patient with us as first time homebuyers and always made sure we felt comfortable with where we were in the process. She was very accessible, allowing us to communicate with her late into the evening which was incredibly helpful and unexpected!

Jessica Gilligan went above and beyond in every aspect of the home buying process. From Day 1 she built a great relationship with us, making it extremely easy to speak our minds and ask questions. Her knowledge if the ins and outs of real estate was very helpful for first time homebuyers like ourselves. Jess has great attention to detail and was able to piece together our favorite aspects of houses we visited to find our dream home. Once we started working with our seller/builder, Jess attended every appointment with us and took detailed notes to make sure nothing was missed. She provided an incredibly helpful line of communication between us and the seller and always responded in a timely, professional manner. It was evident throughout the entire experience that Jess takes great pride in her job and genuinely cares about finding the perfect house for her clients. We could not have asked for a better realtor and will 100% recommend Jessica Gilligan to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Her communication is second to none and truly does whatever it takes to sell your home (even making several phone calls while on vacation).

Jessica was so friendly, flexible and extremely positive. She was willing to answer any questions or approach any concerns we had and get us connected with additional professionals if we had any further questions. For example, we had a concern with something that came up at inspection and Jessica communicated this with everyone and reached out to a local business. Jessica went with my husband and I to the business and spoke to a professional to answer our questions. She returned to the home with us to ensure we were comfortable and had all questions and concerns taken care of moving forward.
She was so helpful in the whole process and she genuinely cared about helping my husband and I find our dream home. She went above and beyond our expectations of a realtor. I would 100% recommend Jessica Miller!

Jessica miller was fantastic to work with from the first meeting we had with her. Jessica was very professional and well prepared. On our first meeting she had gathered all information on our house and had prepared what we could expect if we sold with Century 21. The other two Realtors that we meet with did not bring any information and required another meeting. Overall it was a very good experience with Century 21 and Jessica of which we will not forget.

My husband and I started out our home buying process almost two years with another real estate agent from a different company. 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. October 2018
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 can not say enough great things about Jess. She truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond expectations. She made the home-buying process so smooth and easy. We can't thank her enough for all she has done for us!

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.September 2018
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.
Thank you, Jess for helping us find the perfect home and quickly sell our condo for a great price - you're the best!

I was on vacation during much of the buying process. Jess Miller went above and beyond our expectations in order to answer all of our questions while we were out of town. She answered questions at all hours of the day and even went to the property on my behalf to as the builder questions. Due to Jess' efforts, we were able to purchase the exact home we wanted and felt very confident in our buying decision. September 2018
Jess Miller was always very enjoyable to work with. We could not have had a better experience with a realtor. Regarding timely and clear communications, Jess went above and beyond by answering questions at any time of the day. She also raised very good questions during the buying process that helped us feel confident we were making educated decisions. I would recommend Jess to buyers and sellers because of her willingness to help out at all times and find answers to any questions you may have.
We had a great experience working with Jess Miller. She was very helpful during our buying process and has continued to answer questions for us even after we moved into the new home.

We've known Jessica Miller for several years so we knew we would enjoy working with her as our realtor. 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. July 2018
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!

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!

Jess did an awesome job helping my wife and I find our first home. She knew exactly what we were looking for and was available almost immediately for showings. She also made this process very easy since my wife and I had no idea what all goes in to buying a house but Jess was able to explain the process and answer all of our questions.

Jess was amazing the entire process. Her role as a realtor did not end with the closing. She continued to check in with us for days after. We could not have dreamed of a better experience and she and her team contributed fully to making it seem so easy. She is doing what she was born to do and her passion shines through!

Jessica was extremely friendly with my husband and I, and our kids. She was very easy to talk to and we enjoyed getting to know her. 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. We are very grateful that we had Jessica on our side as we searched for the perfect home. Thanks to her, we found our forever home and couldn't be happier!

Jessica made the home buying experience so easy and fun. She is passionate about her job and it shows! She makes you feel like you're her only client (when in reality she's busier than all of us). Jess understood exactly what we wanted and answered every single one of our million questions. But most importantly, we discovered our dogs are half siblings and you really can't top that. Wouldn't go to anyone else!

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!

We were first time home buyers and didn't quite know where to begin when it came to searching for and purchasing a home. 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. When we finally found "the one", we were confident in Jess's ability to take us through the offering, purchasing, and closing process. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in the Des Moines Metro area – you will be in great hands!

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! December 2017
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!

She went above and beyond and made sure I had every question answered and always answered my phone call even when she wasn't working.December 2017
Jessica Miller always made sure to return every call or text. She was always on time and never had anything bad to say. She had opinions that were helpful and always listened to what I had to say and worked with me for anything that unneeded.
I would recommend Jessica to my family and friends, she is a very outgoing person and easy to work with.
Jessica is very polite. She always met me on time, answered every question, and was always honest. Jessica was fun to work with, and I would gladly choose her again!

We knew Jess prior to deciding to buy a home so it was a no-brainer that we choose her to help us buy a home. Being new to the home buying process, we had no idea know what to expect. Jess took the time to sit down with us and walk through everything we needed to know. She always answered our emails, calls, texts the same day (and we had a lot of questions). Jess made everything in the process SO easy which was more than we could have ever asked for!

Jess was awesome to work with and went above and beyond throughout the entire home buying process. Based on her knowledge of the local markets and neighborhoods, it seems like she has been in the real estate game for years. She is one of the best listeners I have ever worked with, and she adopted a genuine interest in finding the perfect place for me. She was extremely responsive to my questions from start to finish and jumped quickly on new listings. Further, her background in finance was very apparent when it came to negotiations. I would highly recommend Jess to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, and I look forward to working with her again in future transactions.

I was glad when I found Jessica! After searching for an agent and speaking with several she was the only one that actually listened to what I needed in a new home. It's understandable that you can't always get everything you want in a home but there are somethings that are absolutely necessary. Prior to sending me listings she made sure that the homes we were looking at fully met the must have list. During the transaction her knowledge of the area and market conditions proved to be a valuable asset. I would definitely recommend Jessica to others, and look forward to working with her again in the future!

This was our first ever home purchase and to say that we were nervous is an understatement. We met with Jessica Miller for tea to go over everything before going into the process and what to expect. It was a very informative meeting and helped ease our fears quite a bit. Jessica was very professional and friendly and really set out to get to know us and our expectations going into this. She went above and beyond throughout this whole process and I'm so glad she was our realtor for this first home purchase. She was always available for questions and to meet for a home showing. I would highly recommend her! I know who to call when it comes to selling my home in the future.

Jessica Miller was amazing to work with! My fiancee and I were first time home buyers and were not sure what we were exactly looking for and how to go about buying a home. Jessica was very friendly and very easy to work with from the beginning all the way through the entire experience. She was always willing to meet anywhere and at anytime to help us find the perfect home. She discussed some things to look for and other things to avoid during the process. Jessica was very punctual and quick to respond to our questions, which was extremely nice since houses in Ankeny can be sold in a few minutes. I would definitely use Jessica again!

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.May 2017
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.May 2017
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.
