- Description
- My name is Malou van Eijk, I love the mountains and have lived in Colorado for 20+ years in the Evergreen and Golden areas. I look forward to working for you.
About Us:
My name is Malou van Eijk and I moved to Vail, Colorado after college with my car packed and from having grown up in Charlotte, North Carolina in 1986. I attended Appalachian State University before finishing my degrees in Marketing, Information Systems and Hotel, Restaurant and Resort Management. I worked with Marriott International in Vail and Denver for 15 years with the executive committees. I enjoy all of the gifts that Colorado has to offer and try to "get away" to the mountains in my spare time.
I worked in hospitality managment for many years before I settled on real estate. One day I realized that both of my passions (entrepreneurship and homes) could be covered in this field. I now live in Genesee, Colorado a "hidden gem" and have an extensive knowledge of the Foothills and Denver Metro area. Although I am located in the footills, I have bought and sold homes throughout the Denver Metro area and suburbs.
I offer exceptional customer service throughout the home buying and/or selling process. I ensure a smooth transaction every time. Having worked with first-time home buyers as well as seasoned veterans, I always cater my service to your specific needs. It is my goal to make certain that your experience is as enjoyable as possible. I truly enjoy real estate and have a passion for what I do! I am a REALTOR in the state and also have my E-Pro and C-CREC certifications.
Welcome to
Genesee
This exclusive Foothills Community built in harmony with nature, graces 2100 acres. Half of the acres are reserved as open space for the enjoyment of the community.
Genesee boasts the perfect balance between glorious mountain living and city convenience. We're located only 25 minutes from Downtown Denver and 45 minutes to World Class Skiing.
Tucked away just south of the I-70 corridor at Lookout Mountain, and situated at over 7,500 feet above sea level, Genesee is a residential community where the beauty and serenity of mountain living is combined with easy accessibility to the amenities of metropolitan Denver.
Genesee's 883 homes have been sensitively and sensibly constructed on over 2,000 acres of spectacular mountain property. Its superb planning has allowed the area to develop a series of small neighborhoods with a sense of community as well as privacy. Most homes have panoramic vistas of either downtown Denver or the majesty of Mt. Evans and the Continental Divide, or both!
Genesee is a covenant-protected community where the developed environment coexists in harmony with the area's natural setting. Genesee has some 1,200 acres of dedicated open space on which over 12 miles of well maintained hiking trails offer residents of all ages the opportunity to experience the great outdoors within an easy walk from their back door.
The Genesee Foundation, its Homeowners' Association, and numerous neighborhood committees have become a model of efficiency in their management and maintenance of the community's abundant open space and common areas, as well as its impressive recreational facilities. Genesee has three clubhouses, two playgrounds, two outdoor pools, four tennis courts, a racquetball court, an exercise room, and up-to-date meeting facilities. The community is afforded the comfort and peace of mind of a twenty-four hour patrol and a well-equipped fire station located within the community. For families of all sizes and ages, Genesee is truly "The Residential Community."

Malou, Thank you for all the great info. You definitely have a "hospitality" spirit.
David and I reviewed the listings and were able to use the internet to do some virtual tours. We narrowed down things we like and feel we will be very happy working with you locating our home. I can only hope I have someone who will need your assistance as your hospitality is amazing. Warmest of wishes to you and your family. David and Deb Evans, Las Vegas December, 2005

Mary, Genesee March 2006
Thank you for the most professional job you did on the listing, marketing, and sale of Saratoga. It was a pleasure to work with you. Let us stay in touch.
All the best, Helen, Mount Vernon, February, 2006
As a frequent home buyer/seller (7 in the last 16 years) I have had the opportunity to work with many different brokers/agents. But by far the best experience I have had is working with Malou van Eijk.
Malou has brought a new meaning to the word service. My experience with her started with conversations on what I was looking for in a new home and what my expectations were for both price and timing in selling my old home. She is a great listener, and better yet has the ability to actualize and conceptualize what she heard, putting together a great marketing strategy for selling my old home complete with time line and examples of marketing materials.
She has the ability to brain storm with you, coming up with innovative solutions that are all focused on getting the best price in the best time frame. Needless to say, my house was on the market less than three weeks, in a market where the typical home is listed for 6 - 8 months. She was in touch with me on a daily basis, letting me know who had seen the home, what their comments were and what would be happening over the next several days. From the beginning to end, the experience was professional, service orientated and for once, enjoyable.
Malou also helped me find a new home. We looked at many homes in neighborhoods I had selected. Her great sense of humor and experience in renovations helped me see the "bone structure" of some of the homes, letting me visualize what could be. Once we found a home, and put in an offer, the service level from Malou increased. The adverse relationship with my other broker/agent experiences.
She was there during the many visits I made to the home before closing, she was there during inspection, she was in touch with the seller and seller agent many times during this process, making sure the items identified during inspections were completed to my satisfaction. She also put me in touch with the right contractors, and craftsman to complete the renovations before moving. Now the process is over, Malou is still in touch, checking in with me to make sure everything is as I expected.
Yes, this has been and continues to be the best experience I have had either selling or buying a home. Thanks to Malou.
Anne Frome Burgess Golden January 2006
Malou has been great in helping us for over 4 years. We live in Breckenridge and have been seeking to move the Foothills. Malou has continued to have the same spirit and enthusiasm even being at the process for such a long time. We are thrilled to be working with Malou. We are currently under contract with a fabulous house.
Skip and Peter Diamond Breckenridge, CO May 2006
You are our choice for the realtor to set us up and we greatly appreciate your assistance. One of the things we liked most about you is that you are not pushy.
Larry and Connie Tenbrink Texas Aug, 2006
Malou, I just wanted to let you know that I thought your latest mailer was truly excellent. It probably was the best quality and most informative mailer I have received. Keep up the great work and if you ever need an assistant, I would be happy to volunteer!
Elliot- Genesee Neighbor-Jan 2007
Hi Malou, It was a smashing success, we just ended Sunday's sale and everything went great.
Andy and I really appreciated all the wisdom and support that you and Brian provided to make this sale real. We so enjoyed our visit with you. Thanks again, Toni & Andy Conifer
