It is a priviledge to work with you. I have over 13 years of real estate experience. My mission is to be far more than just an agent. By doing so, I have established relationships with my clients that will last a lifetime, which is my own personal reward. I take tremendous pride in helping families find their dream home and selling their exsisting home. For me it is much more involved than finding a "house". It's finding the neighborhood, community, and the lifestyle that is right for you. I look forward to assisting you with your individual real estate needs.

I buy and sell property!!  Not only do I help others in the real estate process, I believe in the process myself.  I have personal home purchases, investment properties and land deals in my past.  I have been in the industry for nine years and have watched all aspects go through both ups and downs. It is cyclical, and timing is critical, but in the end, real estate has proven to be a long term investment you can rely on.  Whether it is your first home, an investment opportunity, a camp/cottage, an upgrade or a downsize, I have the tools to help.  Let me make the process easier on you.

For the past 26 years, I have been serving the real estate needs for many people in the Grand Rapids / West Michigan area.

My philosophy is that the client is always the highest priority. I strive to provide professional and personal service, before, during and after each transaction with every client.

It pays to enjoy what you do for a living..." reads a quote from The Customer Service Companion. How true that is, I realize, as I celebrate by 19th enthusiastic year of real estate sales. I am a lifetime resident of Grand Rapids, 36 years of which were spent living in Alger Heights. I know our city well, and have sold properties in almost every sector within it, as well as in several surrounding communities and lakeshore areas. Please give me a brief opportunity to explain my dynamic "Personal Marketing" program to you. It's a winner- whether you're buying or selling.

As a realtor, the word "HOMES" stands for a lot more than Michigan's five gorgeous Great Lakes! It stands for hard work, dedication and enthusiasm. So, after spending 37 years as a teacher and administrator in West Michigan secondary schools, I joined Barbara's team! We are now on a fun, challenging adventure together. I feel like a "natural"- from educating first time buyers to advising sellers. Whether you are a buyer and/or a seller, I am an "active listening" realtor on an energetic team with a "nothing is impossible" partner. We want YOU to feel right at home with US!

I enjoy working with each client and treating them as I would like to be treated.
