Couldn't Have Asked For A Better Agent

Jessica came highly recommended, and I’m so happy we chose to work with her when buying our home in Grand Rapids. From the start, she was extremely professional and warm, greeting us at our first showing with an adorable welcome packet. She was incredibly communicative, prepared for everything we threw at her, and truly listened to our long list of likes and dislikes to understand exactly what we were looking for. Her automatic listing emails made it easy for us to move quickly in a market where some homes were selling within a day of being listed. We definitely kept her on her toes with all the showings; we saw her almost every other day for two weeks! We put in two offers that weren’t accepted, and she remained encouraging throughout the process, always reminding us that the right house was out there for us (and she was correct!). Even those declined offers came with compliments from the selling agents about her fast action and strong presentation. She made the entire process fun and stress-free, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better agent by our side. It only took about 2.5 weeks from meeting Jessica to having our offer accepted as she quickly understood what we wanted and helped us find the perfect home. Thanks, Jessica!

Excellent guidance leading to a full price offer

Jim provided great guidance and support as we looked to sell my home of the last 60+ years. He assessed what was needed to increase the sale value, helped me identify people to do the work, and gave me great advice on timing of the sale. When the first home appraiser on our first came back with a low value, Jim used his background in building and electrical to challenge the appraisal and advise me to not give concessions. We put the house back on the market and ended up with a full price offer and an appraisal that supported the price. The result is that I walked away with the full value of my home instead of the lower price the first offer was pushing for. I appreciate Jim's expertise in both realty and home construction, and the fact that he always had my best interest in mind. Great job, Jim!

Outstanding Agent!

We thoroughly enjoyed and greatly appreciated our experience working with Jon. He was very generous with his time as we explored different communities and homes in the Grand Rapids area. We found his knowledge of the market to be extremely helpful from the beginning of our search to the point where we successfully negotiated the purchase of our new home. We are also grateful for Jon’s responsiveness. He was quick to text or call us with updates or when we had questions. He even assisted us at multiple points when he was away on vacation. Jon set us with a great lender and kindly helped us when we needed to let service providers into our new home before we moved to the area. Overall, Jon is an excellent agent and a nice person. We would recommend him highly to anyone buying a home in the Greater Grand Rapids area.
