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.
“A "friend of a friend" recommended Emily Miller. We're from out of town and depended heavily on her advice and extensive knowledge. Emily Miller worked miracles around our travel schedule through the entire process. We are very pleased and grateful to have had Emily Miller's expertise and guidance. Her personality was an added-value bonus in the deal. We will definitely reach out to Emily Miller again if we have another real estate opportunity in the region. Thanks Emily!”

“Emily made searching for my current home an easy and simplified process. I went into this situation hesitant on what to expect, especially being a first time home buyer. Emily never made me feel pressured to buy as she repeatedly mentioned "It's no pressure in buying. I will show you the houses that come open. if you don't feel like your ready and want to change your mind then I won't feel bad about it". That to me relieved a lot of pressure and I knew she was a person who had my best interest. She was a professional on every level as she was honest about all of the houses that were shown to me. When I found some that I was interested in and put an offer on, updated me frequently on what to do and if our offer was accepted. Any questions that I had or concerns she was happy to explain them fully. I definitely recommend Emily Miller as a realtor for your next home search.”

I recommend anyone to work with Emily in the future looking to buy or sell their home.”

“The primary reason for selecting Emily to sell my house was based on her excellent community work with the Best Buddies program while attending college. Emily friended my special needs daughter and they participated in activities together. After graduation, she continued to reach out to my daughter and they continue monthly contact to this day. Century 21 was lucky to find an employee with her character. Bill Whiteley”

She was able to clearly explain the strengths of my house and how it fit in the big picture of the Des Moines metro's ever-changing real estate landscape. She was quick to communicate always and was happy to answer the most trivial of questions I had. The documentation was both timely and distributed nicely throughout the process in a way that was not overwhelming. I couldn't have sold without her!”

“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!”

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'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.”

“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!”

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!”
