I traded the suburbs of St. Louis for the fields of Iowa when I moved to Des Moines in
2014 to attend Drake University. After graduation, I found myself working as a
business consultant and a marketing data analyst, but I was left feeling like I wasn't
fulfilling my purpose.
I have always had a passion for people and community impact,
and I can think of no better career to engage that passion than Real Estate. My goal as
a Realtor is to put people in a position to build wealth through home ownership and
help them find a home in a community where they can thrive.
My husband, Collin, and I live on the South Side of Des Moines - just a short drive from
his hometown of Norwalk. In our free time we enjoy spending time with friends and
family, playing golf, riding bikes, and snuggling with our pup, Daisy.
“Emily was the ABSOLUTE best realtor we could have ever worked with. She understood our needs and wants and helped us throughout the whole first time home buying process. We cannot recommend her enough. She was amazing!”

“I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Emily Miller as our realtor! Buying from out of state is stressful, but Emily conveyed all local knowledge to help us narrow down a location and set expectations, FaceTimed us through the good and bad of houses, and hit the ground running with us once we were finally in Iowa. This was a difficult time to buy due to the low inventory and high demand, but because of Emily's quick response to houses becoming available, mastermind of negotiations, and connections with local companies, we were able to find our beautiful, forever home and close on it quickly. We'll be referring her to all friends and family looking to sell or buy in the future. Thank you so much for everything, Emily!”

“Emily is a fantastic realtor and was so great to work with during the process of purchasing our first home! She did an excellent job making sure we understood all of the intricacies and was very attentive towards our wishes as we searched! As we viewed houses, she always gave great information and things to consider, but was never overbearing and gave us good space to view and discuss as well. When it came time to put an offer in, we really appreciated how she took care of everything for us even when she was out of town for some personal time! Finally, she did excellent work as our advocate when inspecting the house and negotiating final details. We had an excellent experience working with Emily and recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor!”

“Emily was phenomenal at guiding me as a first time home buyer. I didn't know what to look for and when viewing a home she would point out things that didn't look great or were in great condition that I wouldn't realize is a big pain to fix. I was prepared for a realtor that just tried to sell any house to me and get their commission. Instead, she was honest, reliable, trustworthy and FUN when viewing homes. I could not have done this without her!”

“Emily made us feel comfortable and supported throughout the entire process. While other realtors we've met with in the past have felt "sales-y," Emily made sure we had as much information as possible about properties and that we were making informed decisions. She was patient and available to answer questions whenever they came up. She was integral to our home-buying experience. We would recommend Emily to any family and friends!”

“I'm so glad I chose to work with Emily Miller for my home purchase. I wanted someone who listened to me and didn't discount my preferences and opinions. I felt like Emily took the time to hear what I was saying. Another realtor I spoke with made me feel like what I was looking for wasn't going to be possible. Emily was honest with me about the challenges of finding homes with the specs I wanted but also found me listings that fit the bill. She really went above and beyond - there was a stretch of time where we were seeing a new house every single day because things would come on the market and they'd be gone if we waited longer than that. But she was always great about finding time in her schedule and spending time in houses with me, and for the two offers I put in, Emily moved quick with comps and the offer details so that we could be competitive. And when there was an issue with my house after closing, Emily advocated for me with the listing agent and found a solution that worked well. I was thrilled with the whole home-buying experience working with Emily.”

“Emily was FANTASTIC to work with when buying my home! She is extremely knowledgeable about the areas I looked into, collaborated with my lender and myself as often when needed, and was always there when I had any questions or concerns about anything. As someone who has never bought a home on my own before, she made the process run smoothly and advocated for me as a buyer every step of the way. I would recommend Emily to anyone buying or selling a home! She's awesome!”

“This was my first home buying experience and Emily made it as painless as possible! Emily provided great recommendations for local bankers for both the pre-approval and mortgage processes, and was great about house searches within some pretty picky parameters. As a first-time buyer, she provided excellent feedback on details that would have otherwise gone unnoticed by me (and would have turned into major headaches later on), and was quick in answering any questions that came up, whether related to the houses we looked at or legal docs at any step in the process. In what was at the time a very competitive, fast-paced market she helped me find a quality home I love, in a location super convenient to my work, and under asking price! Overall, Emily was very hands-on, great with communicating quickly and clearly, and was fun to work with!”

“As first time home buyers we couldn’t have asked for a better experience than what we had with Emily! Emily was timely with all responses and was quick to organize several showings when we first started looking. With Emily’s guidance we were able to put in a successful offer on the first try when the market was still hot. Although it took us awhile to get to closing(on the seller’s end) Emily kept us up to date weekly and helped us stay on top of all the logistics that come with purchasing a home. Emily’s friendliness, persistence, and knowledge make her an easy recommendation to anyone!”

Emily would respond quickly if we sent her a text message or called her. Top notch customer service! Would definitely use the Century 21 Real Estate Group in the future and have Emily as our agent.”
