"Bringing People Home" to Grand Rapids and West Michigan!

"Bringing People Home!" It's easy to see why buying and selling a home is often an emotionally charged, potentially overwhelming process. Helping people navigate that process smoothly is my goal.
Let My Experience and Resources Work For You!
- Licensed since 1984, I have seen the ups and downs of the real estate market!
- Having relocated several times, I have a true appreciation of what families experience when they relocate to a new city and housing market.
- I continually strive to update my skills and learning by attending seminars and conferences that enhance my business.
- I am involved in the local real associations and have served on the GRAR Board of Directors as well as the National Assoc. of REALTORS Board of Directors and continue to contribute through a number of local and a national committee.
- Degree in Nursing. How does that help you? While buying or selling a home may not be as stressful as hospitalization, I am familiar with stressful situations and how different individuals react to them!
- Born and raised in the Grand Rapids and West Michigan area.

I Understand The Stresses of Moving!
Having grown up in West Michigan, I am very familiar with the area and excited about the opportunities and resources we have available to us. Our location along Lake Michigan and close to Grand Rapids, Holland and Grand Haven give us access to the wonderful beaches and natural resources found in this area. Each of the communities offer their own flavor and resources.
My husband, Arlan, and I have lived in Minnesota, New York, Florida, and Indiana so I understand the stresses of selling, moving and buying! I have two married daughters....Shanna (who is married to Andrew Norden) is an anesthesiologist living in Vacaville, CA and Breanne (married to Dustin Vugteveen) who is a financial advisor in Grand Rapids.
In My Spare Time!
As a family we have traveled throughout the United States extensively and always enjoy the opportunity to explore new areas. We love to be outdoors and enjoy camping, hiking, skiing, and sailing. Spare time during the summer will often find us enjoying our cottage north of Grand Rapids.
