John was a great resource for us as first-time home buyers. He was great at sharing market and industry information with us and was patient enough to go on the long journey with us as we learned and grew our preferences and knowledge. I would certainly recommend John for any home buyer, but especially first-time buyers.

John is very knowledgeable in the real estate market. He is quick to set up showing appointments, which is a "must" in the hot Grand Rapids market. These things along with his general knowledge about houses and construction makes him a outstanding realtor. If you're looking for a great realtor that will work hard for you, keep you informed, but not be pushy, I would strongly recommend John VanKampen.

John helped guide us through finding and purchasing our new house. We appreciated the email notifications when new properties fitting our criteria were listed, and when we found a house we loved, John helped us through all the steps through closing and beyond. We were purchasing remotely as we were out of state, so John was able to step in and help when things needed to happen and we were unable to be present.

John displays a genuine care for his clients. He was able to make me feel like I was his only client. Whether it was always being available for my many questions, or being able to accommodate to my availability to see houses. He does not tell you what you want to hear, he tells you the facts. His deep knowledge and experience allows him to spot out what is wrong or what can be done to your home. John was able to go above and beyond for me to get my first house, and under asking! Based on how the market is right now, an offer accepted under asking can seem impossible, but not with the help of John!

John was with us through every step of the process and never lead us astray. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone buying a house.
