She's now worked with us to buy a home nearby. She navigated partners in different states, conducted both virtual and in-person showings, and negotiated with patience, skill and a sense of humor. Heather managed it all perfectly even when the property's zoning led to a change in our approach. Her expertise kept us on target and we closed as planned. As buyers, we're making life decisions in a business transaction. Heather and her team understands that -- she knew what this property meant to our family and it's now home. We're 100% satisfied and highly recommend Heather.

Heather met up with us ahead of time and reviewed the process and explained some details that were different in MI. The housing market was tough, but Heather helped us to understand our options for making a strong and competitive offer. She was helpful and patient with our concerns, and always quick to respond and give relevant information. While we never got the opportunity to meet Jamie, we appreciated the team approach and felt great knowing that there would always be someone there to answer questions or show us a property. The closing process went smoothly and we appreciated the responsiveness and communication of Heather's team. We highly recommend Heather if you're looking to purchase or sell a home.

I have sold over ten homes over the years and was immediately impressed with Kellie's technice when…read moreshe sold a friend's property. I recently used her to sell my duplex in grand rapids, and can't recommend her expertise enough. Kellie's ability to see what small improvements will net big returns is an asset I was very grateful for. Just her clever use of escalation clauses alone netted me enough to buy a performance car after closing. It was nice to feel so secure leaving such a life changing decision in the hands of someone so capable, and kind. Kellie used her knowledge to not only get the best price, but also look for workable solutions for all parties during the complex process of closing on a property.

My partner and I moved from out of state with the dream of buying our first home in Grand Rapids…read more As first-time homebuyers, we barely knew where to start. Before we had even walked our first open house, Kellie broke down the complex (sometimes convoluted) process of home-buying into digestible parts on a short call. Kellie's expertise became the lens through which we looked at every financial scenario over the next few weeks, and she carefully guided us through every aspect of the process. Having an advisor with roots in the community and across the city was also invaluable; her wide personal and professional network came in handy many times, and we simply can't imagine going through this process without the tools that Kellie has in her toolbox. On top of her industry knowledge and connections, Kellie's calm demeanor, unshakeable professionalism, responsiveness, foresight, and her goal-oriented attitude created a safe place for us to navigate the huge decision making required when buying a home. Kellie was always prepared for every meeting and every open house, and she always had insight on remaining competitive in a market that was tough for young buyers. Having Kellie on our team made the process feel exciting and manageable, even when curveballs were thrown our way. We would absolutely recommend Kellie to anyone purchasing or selling, whether in the west Michigan area or beyond.

He was vacationing in Europe and STILL answered texts, phone calls and helped us negotiate a fair deal on the home we purchased.

In addition, she showed it to use two other times in person as we got buy-in from our extended family. Once we were under contract, Traci coordinated many tradespeople to perform work on the property so that upon closing, we could get moving. She kept us up to date on a very complex transaction (the septic system needed to get replaced at the last minute, several delays due to things out of our control) and always had a smile on her face. We're eternally grateful for the hard work she put in and helping us buy this place.

We were also pretty choosy about what and where we wanted to be. Trisha was very responsive and focused on us the whole time, never pushing us outside our preferences, but also offering the 'real world' perspective too as a reality check. Once we did find a winning home we made an offer, and then ... trouble hit! It felt like every three days we'd get another phone call that something else had gone sideways on our deal (usually finding unexpected deficiencies with the house). Trisha was swift to respond and help manage the situation - taking tons of logistics and pressure off our plate as she recommended and scheduled contractors to help us solve all the issues. In the end we were able to close on the home and we are very pleased with the end result. I highly recommend Trisha.

Larry Martin made one of the most traumatic days of my life even worse. I will never forget how…read moresmall and stupid he made me feel. Twelve years ago, I was leaving a domestic violence situation and had a 2 year old and nine month old. My house was small, but it was cute, clean, and organized. I bought it when I was 25, but 8 years later I was divorcing my husband who had been abusing me, and who was convicted of stalking me. Larry Martin was recommended to me by my church at the time- a church that promoted women being submissive to men. Larry acted so judgmental and pompous. He would roll his eyes, cross his arms, and sigh during interactions with me. He would hold his chin up high and look around the room avoiding eye contact or even looking in my direction. He always seemed busy. He acted like I was taking up his time, like I was a nuisance, like he was better than me. I was always polite and respectful to him. I apologized profusely for asking questions. I never called his office, requested meetings, or took up extra time. I filled out paperwork on time. Yet he acted like I was disgusting. While filling out paperwork to close the property, I was trying not to cry but a few quiet sobs escaped me. He sat stone faced across from me, sighed, and rolled his eyes. There were never any words of comfort, never any condolences, never any prayers. Just displays of annoyance and superiority. I would never recommend Larry Martin to anyone. Even though it's been 12 years, I still see his signs around town and they remind me of how small Larry made me feel. I'm doing great by the way, and own a home worth 5 times what my old home was worth.
