Beth Van Zee | Realtor in Iowa, Legacy Realty of IOWA

Fantastic experience: I was very fortunate that my family recommended Beth to me as my realtor. I am very grateful for her. She did outstanding work creating a beautiful online description for Zillow.com. The house sold within days on the market. Two offers were above the asking price. The crowd for the open house was huge. She helped me choose the best offer and we closed without any problems. Because of Beth's help, I was able to complete everything remotely. I highly recommend Beth VanZee for selling houses.

Fantastic experience: First time home buyer here. Beth came recommended to me by a coworker and for very good reason. She was incredibly helpful in guiding me through the home buying process. Her knowledge and resourcefulness took away any stress I had of buying my first home. Always quick to respond to any questions I had along with explaining everything in detail so I would fully understand the process. I wish I could give more than 5 stars, as I would highly recommend Beth to anyone buying a home. Edit: Here I am almost 5 years later writing about how great Beth is again. I have since sold the house I bought in the above review through Beth, and bought a new one with my wife through her! Needless to say I was very happy to have her helping us through the process again, and highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home. If you choose Beth, you not only get a great realtor, but a friend! I stand by my previous 5 star review.

Fantastic experience: Beth did an amazing job helping us buy our new home and sell our old one! She answered all of our questions and kept open communication with us throughout the entire process! Beth also got our old home fast, which we needed to have happen! She went above and beyond to get our home sold for us, and I know she is a big reason why it sold so fast!

Fantastic experience: Words just don’t express how helpful Beth was during my selling process. She went above and beyond (her staff too).

Highly recommend Beth for anyone looking for a dedicated and trustworthy real estate professional!

I am happy to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a house.

Fantastic experience: Beth has been very helpful in our home buying process. She brings a lot of knowledge and advocates for us in all parts of the homebuying process (from visiting homes to inspection to final walkthrough & closing). She is easily accessible for questions and upfront with her responses. I hope we never move again but if we did, she would be my first call.

Fantastic experience: Beth Van Zee is a spectacular realtor. She has a plethora of knowledge about everything in her field. My son is handicapped. Beth went above and beyond her responsibilities to guarantee he purchased the perfect house and property. She has unlimited and varied resources to assist with anything, such as loans, handymen, construction personnel, and whoever or whatever you require. They ensured my son had the additional handicapped-accessible tools for not only him but also for his service dog. I have already shared her contact information with others requiring a realtor. She is my "go-to" realtor until death do us part. Thank you Beth Van Zee for your superior skills and a personality made of gold.

Beth’s responses to my emails or texts were prompt and she provided assistance when I needed to find a third-party for some repairs before listing the townhouse.

It took from my first phone contact about me "testing the waters" of the market just 16 days (four of those days we were both out of town vacationing so those hardly count) to help us buy a house and three days later sell our house! And to the very first customer who came through the door . And for above list! Responsive, knowledgeable, professional. You will be glad you engaged her as your agent on any buy, sell or buy/sell.

Fantastic experience: Beth went above and beyond what we could have asked for in a realtor. She never gave up on us finding a house here in Des Moines, even when it felt like we shot down every one we saw. Every time we would visit a house and we found things that we liked or disliked, she would refine the list of houses she found for us so they would have the things we liked. She actually listened to everything we were saying, and that is a great quality to have in a realtor. Super personal-able and makes you feel so comfortable with this stressful process. I would recommend her every time!
