She was available to answer any questions that we came across (and we had a lot), and was so quick and timely in responding to emails, or phone calls.

Our ability to track real estate data and creatively use what we learn to help our clients puts us a step ahead every time. We have a 100 percent sell rate and the properties we promote spend an average of just 11 days on the market. Our focus on results, education, convenience, support, confidence, security, and communication has made us the area's top team when it comes to buying, selling, and financing real estate. However, none of this would happen without our passion for people. At the end of the day, if you've made someone's life easier or better, it's been worthwhile, and we chase after that goal all year long.

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.

His and Dana's guidance on improvements and staging of the house resulted to a great deal of interest in a short period of time. They were also able to help in obtaining people to assist with repairs to the house. The entire team was very helpful whenever we had questions or concerns with the process. The team also did a great job to review and summarize the multiple offers. The end result was a short time on the market and better than expected sale price.

Buying a home from across the country can be challenging, especially when you're trying to evaluate a waterfront property, coordinate inspections, and make major decisions from a distance. Heather was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process and always made herself available to answer questions, provide local insight, and help us think through important decisions. We never felt pressured and always felt that she had our best interests in mind. What impressed us most was Heather's knowledge of the local market and her willingness to go above and beyond during the due diligence process. She helped coordinate inspections, provided referrals to trusted local professionals, and gave us honest feedback whenever we needed it. Her communication was excellent from our first conversation through closing and even afterward as we've continued settling into the home. Purchasing a home in a new city while living on the other side of the country can be a challenge, but Heather and her team made the process feel organized, manageable, and enjoyable. We are extremely grateful for her guidance and would enthusiastically recommend Heather and Jamie to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Spring Lake, Grand Haven, or the greater Western Michigan area.

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 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.

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.
