We recently worked with Jim Archbold to sell our house in Walker, MI. Jim was great to work with, knowledgeable and personable. He provided guidance for remodel priories before the listing. Communication was excellent, providing frequent updates throughout the whole process. He was eager to host the open house and had our interests in mind. We would highly recommend Jim Archbold as your agent.

Had a great experience buying my first home with Jim! He is knowledgeable not just in home buying, but also home building which felt like an advantage as a first time homebuyer with no real experience. Always received prompt responses whenever messaging - even on weekends and holidays, oops! - and I never felt like I had any “dumb questions.” I had already been pre-approved but Jim recommended getting multiple quotes and offered references for lenders; ended up shopping around and going with one of his suggestions, which ended up saving thousands. While walking through homes Jim would point out suggested repairs, what it would take to fix, how extensive, and estimates of cost or whether he thought it could be done myself. He provided recommendations on repair services, including being willing to assist himself on repairs. When it came time to place a bid on a house, Jim provided guidance and best recommendations for a successful offer, helping to decide whether to bid what the house is worth vs what it’s worth to me. Overall, had a great time looking at houses with Jim, listening to his advice and learning from his personal expertise with building homes. Really felt like his opinion could be trusted and gives you the sense that he’s looking out for you with every home viewing.

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!

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!

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.

Rachel is not only an honest and hard working agent but a great communicator. There was never a time when she did not have our best interest at heart and we trusted her completely. This was the second time she has been our agent and we would highly recommend her.

We had a wonderful experience working with Sarah Cortese to sell our home. She was outstanding in her communication, always available when we needed her, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the entire process.

Her expertise and strong understanding of what buyers are looking for helped us make smart decisions that really paid off. We especially appreciated her responsiveness, professionalism, and ability to make what can be a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. There are a lot of realtors out there. We HIGHLY recommend Sarah to anyone looking to sell their home. She is knowledgeable, dedicated, and a true professional.
