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 came highly recommended by people I trust, so when my mom passed away a few months ago, I…read morereached out to Heather about selling her house. From our initial meeting through closing, she was absolutely amazing! She not only brought professionalism and expertise, but also genuine compassion during what was a difficult time for me and my family. I live out of state, so other than our initial meeting, we communicated via Zoom, phone calls, and text messages. Throughout the process, Heather made sure every detail was handled and was clear on what she needed from me. She truly went above and beyond, and thanks to her, what could have been a stressful experience was effortless. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She also has excellent taste in beer and her suggestions were spot on!

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.
