Once you have a pre-approval letter from a reputable lender, the process begins with touring homes and finding you likes and dislikes for you next home. In the current competitive market, you have to be available for showings on short notice and be ready to make a decision without sleeping on it. This is where a good agent will help inform you to make the right decisions.

With the current sellers market in Grand Rapids, selling your home for top dollar is all about marketing it properly. From professional photography to social media, the home needs to be showcased to as many people as possible. Staging and preparing the home before listing is also a very important factor.

I have worked with first time home buyers, investors, those looking to upgrade, those looking to downsize, and everywhere in between.

I recently helped a young couple find a house in the Jenison area. We had offered on a few houses without success and through networking with a few other agents, I was able to find them a house before it hit the market.

I worked in business to business sales for several years and a cousin of mine asked if I would make the transition and help him in he real estate business. The partnership grew, and now we are in the top 3 of all agents in Grand Rapids.

Before real estate, I worked in the construction industry and have learned many of the trades that are required to build a house. This expertise helps my clients make informed decisions about their home sale/purchase.
