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.

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.

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.

Four of these rental properties were purchased in less than a year, and we closed on three of them within the same month as we were in the process of a 1031 exchange. Julie and her team executed the sale of each property with efficiency, making a process which is often complicated to be very simple for us. We recently decided to sell a few of our properties and immediately contacted Julie to get the process rolling. Her and her team worked with us through a land contract and seamlessly aligned the sale of both properties to occur on the same day. Julie's expertise in both the Muskegon and Grand Rapids markets in both SFH and multi-family properties is top notch. She communicated with us regularly and we never had a question regarding the status of either the buy or sell side transactions. We absolutely love working with her.

Julie was very accommodating and took me on virtual tours of multiple properties. She was extremely responsive to all of my dumb questions and took all of my inquiries seriously. She is very knowledgeable about the area and made recommendations based on the criteria I provided, never being pushy during the process. Once we identified a home, Julie stayed engaged and helped facilitate the transactions with the bank and property manager. She always made sure we had next steps identified and though purchasing a home can be a daunting task, Julie and her team made the process painless. I would recommend Julie to anyone considering buying a home in Grand Rapids or the surrounding area and I look forward to working with her again.

Such a flawless experience. The communication was effective and she made it feel like we were her main priority. I can't believe how fast our home sold once it was on the market (4 days).

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.

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 :)

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.
