My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Jamie and Mark Krier as first time homebuyers in…read moreEast Grand Rapids, MI and we can't speak highly enough about our experience working with them! From the very beginning Jamie and Mark listened to and understood exactly what we were looking for. They had connections for touring pre-listed homes, knew pros/cons about specific house attributes and cities/neighborhoods, and always shared their professional knowledge/advice without pressuring us one way or another. They also have first-hand experience flipping homes which was extremely valuable for advice when assessing improvements/remodeling potential and value-add. Not only did Jamie and Mark guide us through our first home buying process making sure we always knew what was going on, they helped us navigate purchasing mid-COVID (communicating frequently and keeping us informed of safety procedures while still making sure we didn't miss anything). Jamie and Mark were always responsive, available, and flexible, especially since we moved from out of town and often had to fit a lot into one day. When it came time to make an offer Jamie and Mark were thoughtful, honest, and knowledgeable about how best to approach making an offer and negotiations. They communicated frequently and made sure to keep us informed all the way through the offer acceptance, inspections, and close. Finally, during inspections/closing and even after we purchased our home Jamie and Mark have provided countless referrals (inspectors, roofer, electrician, insect treatment, cleaning companies, plumbers, etc). As buyers new to the area we are immensely grateful for the connections, professional recommendations, and knowledge of Grand Rapids/EGR that they shared with us. We will use Jamie and Mark for any future house sales/purchases and encourage our friends and family to do the same! They truly know real estate inside-and-out and made the whole experience positive. Highly recommend!

Working with Jamie and Mark from 616Homes.com was amazing! They went above and beyond in every way…read moreand know so much about the West Michigan real estate market. From getting the listing up fast, to locking in an offer in a week, and having beautiful pictures taken for the listing - the process could not have been simpler for me. If I had any questions I knew they were just a phone call or text away. They also helped find a contractor who took care of a few small projects to get the house in tip-top shape! If you are considering buying or selling a house you have to check out 616 homes - they do it right!

I have had a professional relationship with BluHouse properties in the past. I teach Real Estate…read morelicense law and have taught several of their agents. Unlike private landlords renting their own properties, a property manager is licensed and regulated by the Michigan Board of Real Estate Brokers and Salespersons. They must adhere to the law as well as the more strict "Code of Ethics". In the event of mishandling of funds a property manager is subject to fines, restitution and jail. Not worth "stealing $50".

One day randomly my boyfriend and I were staring at the rent prices increasing in Eastown and…read moredecided to look at houses for sale. We weren't looking too seriously, but thought it might be a good investment. A home in Heritage Hill really caught our attention and we had spammed realtors for a showing with no reply- except for Santiago from Blu House. Since the day we met Santiago he has always laid down the facts, came up with kick-ass creative solutions, and always went out of his way to make sure we had an edge in this chaotic competition of attempting to buy a home in GR. Now we're buying a home, about a month later from the day we started looking. Blu House as a whole real estate agency has taken care of us, been honest, and found professionals for us so our naive innocent perspectives wouldn't be a disadvantage (and our money stayed in our pockets!) I cannot tell you how much I love this business and how they approach what they do. I know at any time I could text my realtor and get an answer to whatever question I have. I know I will always get honesty through facts, and always a rational way of approaching a problem. I recommend them to everyone in this city. Support our awesome friends and neighbors :)

He wouldn't present the house that caught my attention and was trying to move me instead to a bad part of town. Then when asking questions about the property he was trying to present instead, he didn't want to give direct information then started over talking us. He was very rude and unprofessional, I would recommend looking with a different company. Also the houses they have "listed" don't seem to be the ones they actually have available.

He prepared me for a lot, long before I found a home with his help. Mike used to snow blow all the neighbors driveways. He helped wrangle a dog or two that escaped from a neighbors house. The first home I tried to buy was obtained with the help of Grand Rapids realty and Mike Ross. Sometimes getting out of bed at 7am to resolve an issue to keep the sale on track is tough. I have known the man for a long time and see his real quality. I think Mike gets things done, and if you want that house you have him do it. We had a very small window of time to buy yet here we are, happy in our first home, thanks to Mike. He is getting a Christmas card this year, that's all I know.

Quite simply, Luke Bouman and his team are easy to do business with and get results…read more We met with a handful of very pleasant realtors before Luke (he was our last) and it was abundantly clear to us this was our guy: super professional, not sickly sweet and could back up his credentials with evidence, experience, knowledge and robust team processes. Within 30 mins of signing with him, I had contact from and appointments set up with his professional home stager and photographer. Our listing was live - and looked great - within 2 weeks (with regular contact from his team) our house went live on a Friday afternoon and Luke called me with a FULL PRICE offer on the Saturday evening! Luke sold our home and did a truly wonderful job representing our interests and managing our expectations. He is not afraid to get involved when the road ahead became a bit unclear in these uncertain times and was invaluable in helping lead and "keep the ship steady". He persisted and got us across the finish line without any pain or frustration in the process. His team are super responsive, proactive, professional and very communicative (even in the evenings and at weekends!). We will happily recommend Luke and his wonderful team. If you're serious about selling your home, this is your guy.

We looked at many, many homes. We were picky, and because we have hectic schedules, we almost always gave short notice to see if we could go see a house. Yet, Scot always found a way to get us into a home, and never lost patience. We've worked with realtors, who after a while, start to get a little pushy. We had Scot and his agents (Marcy and Shelley) driving all over West Michigan to see homes with us for months. We never felt rushed. 616 Realty wanted us to find the right home. Then....lockdown due to COVID-19 happened. During this lockdown, to our surprise, we found our perfect home. Through virtual tours, emails, text messages, and pictures, we got to see the home and make an offer. Scot and his team guided us through what has to be one of the strangest times in Real Estate history. If you're looking for a Realtor/Broker to make the process of home buying as easy as possible, I cannot recommend 616 Realty enough. And, if you're trying to buy or sell a home during these strange times of COVID-19 lockdown, then you can count on Scot and his team to have the experience and confidence to walk through the process with ease.
