I believe that real estate is more than just a transaction. As a REALTOR® with CENTURY 21 Signature Real Estate, I build my business by referral, and therefore my goal is to provide every home buyer and seller in Iowa with an extraordinary experience that puts people before sales.
Closing the sale matters, but more important is having a trusted advisor in your corner who has your back every step of the way and is able to keep you safe from potential pitfalls.
Reach out if you want to talk about selling your home, buying a property, investing in real estate, or learning more about your local community.

“Teske is amazing! She made the first time home buying process not so scary! She explained everything to us so we understood it and helped us through all the red tape that came along! She kept us in the loop every step of the way and went above and beyond! It was like working with a friend you've known for years! We could ask her anything and she would help no matter what time of the day. She was very professional and knew exactly how to handle any bump in the road we came across. She was able to make us feel at ease with the whole process! Can't wait to work with Teske again in the future! Teske would show us any house we asked to see no matter what condition it was in without judgement. She was able to tell us all the information about the house and everything we needed to know. She would find any information out for us we asked for. She made the house hunting experience fun for us!”

“Without Teske Vance of Century 21 Signature Real Estate, I could not have made it to the finish line. When I naively began my home buying journey over 10 months ago, I sincerely believed that I would just be hooking an old teammate and good friend from high school up with a seller-paid commission. I knew exactly which house/s I wanted in exactly which subdivision. It checked all the boxes of New Construction, correct school feeder, and location, and it had all of the amenities I demanded. Plus, I had already signed a Purchase Agreement, and I genuinely thought it would be a rather quick home buying process. Somehow, that assumption could not have been further from reality. That anticipated 400m brutal sprint turned into a significantly much more grueling 10-month-long marathon/steeplechase hybrid than I ever could have imagined. There is absolutely no way I could have made it out of this homebuying transaction with my sanity, had it not been for Teske (and my Lender). Teske's poise and expertise when I wanted to lose my mind over the ridiculousness that transpired over the last three weeks prior to Closing were paramount. She calmly listened when I vented, she cheerled when I wanted to quit, she laughed at the memes I created about my setbacks, and she still had plenty of customer service voice left over to negotiate with the Builder when all I wanted to do was scream. I would not have this key in my hand right now, had it not been for Teske. I cannot thank her enough. Teske, you are an amaaaaaaaaaaazzzzzzing Realtor, and you are an even better friend!!!!”

“After initially meeting with Teske and discussing what I was looking for and what she had to offer in regards to experience/knowledge, I knew she was the perfect person to help me find my first home. Teske was always prompt and forthcoming with any and all information. She put me at ease throughout the entire process. Teske goes above and beyond in all regards. She was open to looking at anything I suggested no matter how big of a long shot it was. She was also great about thinking outside of the box to find me more houses to think about. When I'm ready to sell this house and buy my next house I will definitely reach out to Teske again. And if anyone I know is looking for an agent I will definitely recommend her!”

“I have known Teske for about seven years. When we made the decision to sale our home, I knew that there was no one else I would trust with this process. First because it was a bittersweet decision, and more than a Realtor I needed a friend. Teske was that friend. She listened, understood, and gave her advice. I knew that her advice was not only wearing her Realtor hat, but also a friend hat. She made the process stress free, offering to assist me with as much as she could, giving room to process the emotions of selling our forever home. Thank you Teske for being who you are and being there every step of the way, even when the tears rolled.”

She was available constantly and got back to me by email/text/call very quickly. She was open and honest about all our options and gave us the time to think through our decisions and make the choice that worked best for us and then really helped us navigate through everything with the sale. Even our seller said she was great to work with.”

“I found myself suddenly in need of a realtor in an area outside of Des Moines. I contacted my previous agent and she said she would like to connect me with another realtor who could help with the showings, etc since I wasn't in Des Moines. This realtor's name was Teske Vance. From the very first text message with her, I knew I was pretty much dealing with my previous realtor because it had the same friendly feeling. Teske took charge of everything to setting up house viewings to all the paperwork needed and inspection and communication with the seller's realtor of the house I chose. Teske would send texts periodically stating that she is here for me, so just reach out with any needs or questions or one to say looks like everything is progressing on schedule plus updates on inspections. I would recommend Teske Vance to anyone looking for a great agent to help them with buying a house. She is attentive to what you are looking for and helps in any way that she can. I am very impressed with Teske.”
