About our Broker

Gary has been a resident of the Grand Rapids area for over 35 years.  He is happily married with two grown sons and 5 grandchildren.  During his career as a marketing VP and business owner he was able to polish his contract and negotiating skills that have proven very valuable to many clients.  He passes along these skills to the agents.

He entered real estate after selling his company and wondered why he hadn't entered the field earlier!  He has attended as many specialized advanced training programs as I could find to increase his real estate knowledge.  To better represent our Clients and company the way he would want to be represented.  We have been able to help people from all walks of life from first time buyers, divorce situations, retirees, investors and regular families too!  In each case we have been able to meet some really great people.  The best feeling is when we complete a transaction for our clients and they just smile from ear to ear.  We have been given cookies, crayon pictures for our refrigerator, even a pies!  We still think the smiles are the best.

If you are interested in a knowledgeable agents that go the extra mile, cares how you are represented, then we are your company.  Our staff will make you feel like you are one of the "family".
