Buying a Grand Rapids home? Search all homes for sale

I'm extremely excited to be back with you today, and to announce that the last month at Keller Williams Rivertown has been one of the best in my entire real estate career. We've sold 9 listings at or above listing price, and seven of our buyers found great homes in Grand Rapids. 

However, last month I sent an email out that required you to ask questions, so now I'll be answering them for you today.

Erin in Hudsonville wanted to know how to avoid paying too much when making an offer on a home. This is a great question, and what I do is look at comparable sales in the area, as well as determine the age of the roof, furnace, and plumbing. If you meet with me, I can give you much more advice on how to avoid overpaying on a home. 

Wendy from Grandville asked me how to determine the best mortgage program for her particular situation. When you meet with me to discuss this, I'll ask you how much you want to spend per month, how much you can put down, and how your credit is looking. Once I have that information, I can refer you to the right loan officer.

Toby and Byron asked what they should do to their home now that they've decided to sell it. There are numerous things to be done when you're selling, but when I come out to the house I'll take a look around and tell you what needs fixing. Everyone's home is different, but usually a thorough cleaning, repainting, and maybe some slight renovations can help improve the value of the home before a sale. 

Once again, if you need assistance buying or selling real estate in Grand Rapids, then please don't hesitate to contact me. I can answer all of your questions and your experience with me should be as painless as possible.

How we helped Julie prepare her home by using our connections

"I enjoy working with Larry Martin. He knows a lot of people in the community, so he has many useful connections! He's been my Realtor for about nineteen years. There were certain things I had to do with my house to make sure the mortgage went through, and he connects you with someone who can get the job done!"
