a great place to live, work and enjoy life!

    The dictionary definitions for "HOUSE" and "HOME" are very similar.  But for me there's quite a difference.  The "HOUSE" is the physical structure, the walls, roof, foundation, windows, etc.  But a "HOME" is what your family creates within those walls, it's the setting for your life, the backdrop for the creation of your memories, it's the place where you can let go of the stress of your busy life, where friends and family can gather to celebrate the good turns in your life, and to support you when your road is a bit bumpy.

    There's much housing news in the media today, and because bad news sells, much of the news is bad.  Foreclosures, Short Sales, Falling Prices, Bubbles... you've heard all of that.  But with so many 'bad news' stories it can depend a lot on how you look at it.

    Certainly the economy is struggling in many sectors, but the good news for a home buyer is that prices are very low and interest rates are at record lows. These two factors combine to make a buying opportunity that I've not seen in 21+ years as a fulltime Realtor in Grand Rapids Michigan.  While none of us can know for certain what the future will bring, the odds are that the economy will cycle around to a more healthy state, and when it does, interest rates and prices will rise.

    The challenge of our current conditions are that there is a lot of misinformation being circulated.  It seems that like never before, buyers and sellers need a trained professional to help them sort through the piles of data and separate the fact from fiction. 

    Let me show you how working together, we can look at your life, your wants and needs, your financial picture and shape a vision of what you really want, and map a plan to get there.  

    Whether you are buying or selling, I will be happy to help you achieve your goals.  Call or email me today so we can start the discussion. 

 Once Again in 2010 the buyers and sellers who entrusted their home buying or selling process to me said that they were VERY satisfied with my efforts on their behalf.  I was included in the Platinum Award from Quality Service Certified
When you work with the great people I work with, that's easy to do!
