About

Knowledge | Effort | Negotiation | Trust

Knowledge
From the historic, thriving downtown’s to the miles of Lake Michigan shoreline, and everything in between, my knowledge of the West Michigan area has been gained over a lifetime of residency, and believe me, there’s some things natives ‘Just Know.’ Don’t settle for an agent that only knows selling points – choose one that listens to what you want and knows exactly where to find it.

Effort
Finding people the right home is my passion, with me there’s no such thing as a small effort. I maintain updated information on my personal website as well as daily updates via Twitter and Facebook. I pride myself on my commitment to my clients through every step of their move, advocating for your wants and needs, and striving to make your experience hassle-free. Getting to know my clients is my top priority; I want to be confident assisting you and giving you the best of me.

Negotiation
Over my years in the business, strengthening my negotiation skills has been a continuous goal. For me this means more than attending workshops and reading guides. I have cultivated great relationships with my colleagues and members in the community, and believe that the best negotiations thrive on respect and cooperation.

Trust
Moving can be stressful, no doubt about it. Choosing a realtor you trust can ease that burden. With me, there is no such thing as a stupid question or unwarranted concern, I want every client I serve to feel comfortable bringing any matter to the table. I pledge to be honest and transparent, and strive to be compassionate and understanding of where my clients are during every step of their move.

Who Am I?
I’ve lived in West Michigan all my life, growing up in the heart of Grand Rapids, and currently residing in Hudsonville with my husband, Randy, son, Sam, and Riley, our dog. I began working in real estate in 2004 after years of working in sales and marketing, and discovering that I wanted something more. I found my passion in the real estate business, and even when the market took a turn for the worst, I never questioned my decision. Spending time with my family is my biggest joy. During the summer, we try and make it out to the lake shore as much as we can, and when everything’s covered in snow, you can find us sledding, tubing, or (my favorite) at Great Wolf Lodge.
Two random facts: I’m an excellent whistler and have an infamous Egg Dish recipe.
