“Jason was very upfront and honest with me when I was buying my first house. He listened to all my wants and need. He then sent me a bunch of houses that fit most or all of them. When it came time to buy the house he was very helpful when negotiating the price and terms of the purchase. I would strongly recommend Jason to anyone that wants to buy a house.”

“Megan Avila did a great job in making this process very simple and keeping us in the loop with everything. All my questions were answered in a timely matter.”
-
“Jason did an incredible job helping us buy this house, and based on that experience, I knew I could trust him. When I found out I needed to move for work, I didn't even think about talking to another agent. Jason came over to our house and within 20 minutes we had our strategy together for how to sell our house and what price point would sell within the timeframe we needed. Jason has such a high level of experience and expertise that he makes the process of selling a home seem simple and easy. It started with his knowledge of the local market. He didn't have to do any research; he just knew what houses like ours were selling for. We then talked about all of the steps to selling our house, and Jason explained it in a very simple order that made it easy to understand. He also explained where the process might not go exactly to plan, and what to do if that happened. He had an answer to every question I had including our VA mortgage. I appreciate that Jason is always very calm and collected, and talking to him feels like having a conversation with a friend that's really into real estate. Jason had a very professional yard sign that looked nice Infront of our house. Showing the house was always very simple, and we got plenty of communication from Jason. Negotiations were always simple because Jason could explain why clauses were included in a contract and if it was a good deal. The contracts, sale, and closing all went as well as they could have. Again Jason's knowledge of the process made it simple. He knew all of inspections and paperwork that would need to be done and made sure we signed them at the right time. Something I learned as a seller working with Jason is that it isn't just the agent that makes leads to a successful sale, it's an entire team they trust enough to put their name behind. We received great and timely service from serval other members of the Century 21 team, and I'm sure there were many many others involved we didn't even know about because they seamlessly played their part. A particularly valuable example of the team and working relationships that Jason has developed would be with Elite Roofing. A buyer found hail damage from a recent storm and also wanted a fast closing date. Jason connected us with Elite Roofing to get the work done before the closing the buyer wanted. Elite went out of their way to fit us into their busy schedule and was very patient with our frustrating insurance company. The situation wasn't ideal, but Jason knew the right people to handle it. What could have been a stressful situation where we possibly lose the sale was taken care of with the right team. I like working with Jason because he's so calm. It took a lot of stress out of selling our house because I could tell Jason was comfortable with each challenge that came up and knew how to handle it. He is always very professional, well presented, and responds very quickly. Jason always had seamless support in the sale of our house to the point we hardly noticed there were likely many others helping us out. It's seems like Century 21 has a very polished system and uses the right combination of technology and excellent people. Century 21 provided a very experienced team with the support and tools they need to be successful. This lead to selling our house on schedule for a great price.”
-
“Jason was easy to work with. He walked us through the home and pointed out items we might not have noticed ourselves. He gave us a realistic view of what the timeline of an offer would look like but didn't apply pressure for us to move forward with the sale until we were comfortable with the decision. Thoughout the process, Jason was quick to answer questions and address any concerns we had. We would recommend him to anyone looking to buy/sell a home.”

“We were extremely impressed with Jason's professionalism and his experience of the area and the markets. He helped us get a fair price for our previous home and helped us put together a competitive offer for our current home. I would highly recommend Jason for anyone that wants an agent that will be responsive and looking our for your best interests”
-
“Jason Mickelson is a great person whom future home buyers can reply on. Being a first-time home buyer, I had almost zero experience on different processes, but he had patience and energy to keep us updated on each and every steps. He has the knowledge on concurrent housing market and its trends. I would highly recommend others to keep in touch with Jason as one of the finest realtors of Iowa. Not only during home buying process, but he also offered me support in taking care of my house for the remaining time period before I could move there personally.”
-
“Jason Mickelson is a very good listener and understood our needs. He did a good job of sorting through the homes that met our criteria and presented those to us. We are very happy with our purchase and thank Jason for leading us through the process.”
-
“Jason has went out of his way multiple times to travel to Fort Dodge to meet me and view properties. He answers emails and texts before and after normal operating times and makes you and your purchase feel important and as if it is the only project he is working on. We have had a few different transactions with his team and we were more than satisfied with each of them and the professionalism of his team. We will continue to use Jason and staff and refer them to others!”

When we were stressed about one thing or another, his experience and counsel were key to helping us stick with the plan. We tried "for sale by owner" with little success. After contacting Jason, we sold our house in the timeframe we needed and for a great price. 10/10!”
-
“Megan (Storvick) Avila was amazing during the entire process of me searching for a home. She was knowledgeable about what to look for once inside the home and had good suggestions of homes in my price range and opened me up to other areas of Des Moines.

I knew zero about this man or his agency or anything but I just felt immediately comfortable with him and felt I could trust him with all my needs during the buying and selling process. He exceeded my expectations. Jason has been extremely helpful and has made the selling of my home easier than I ever imagined. I know very little about the ins and outs of everything and he explained it in terms I can get. This is a guy who knows his stuff and who I felt I can trust and that was so nice to have when dealing with the housing market. I have already recommended him to several friends.”
