A lot of my clients here in Grand Rapids ask me about Zillow. I will be providing you with a brief overview of the website including its pros and cons.

If you go to Zillow you will notice a pre-foreclosure tab, and this indicates homes that have not paid their mortgage for 30, 60 or 90 days. Oftentimes these homes are not actually for sale because websites like Zillow, Trulia, and Realtor.com get their information from credit reporting agencies. Often times this information is inaccurate and can mislead buyers which can cost them time and money.

The other tab in Zillow is a foreclosure tab. Zillow finds these listings from court reports that indicate which properties have been repossessed by banks. These listings can also be inaccurate and outdated.

I have access to the latest foreclosures.

I have access to the most updated foreclosure and pre-foreclosure listings and will not lead you astray in your home search. Instead of wasting your time with real estate websites, I urge you to come to me so that we can expedite your home search.

If you are interested in finding these kinds of properties in the Grand Rapids area, then please do not hesitate to contact me via phone or email. I look forward to working with you.

What Is Your Grand Rapids Home Really Worth?

The spring selling season is just around the corner, and our market is already starting to heat up. Whether you plan on buying or selling a home this spring, there are a couple things you should know.

I've met with five homeowners in the last month who have each given me Zillow's estimates on what their home is worth. I have sold all five of those homes, and for quite a bit more than what their Zestimate originally said they would. If you are looking to sell your home, make sure you give me a call so I can come out to take a look at your home and give you its true value. 


I have sold all five of those homes, and for quite a bit more than what that Zestimate originally said they would.

One question I've been getting a lot lately is, "What is the best way to buy a foreclosure?" Well, there are a few different kinds, and I have experience with all of them, including HUD homes, VA foreclosures, short sales, and more. If your dream is to buy one of these types of homes, give me a call. I would love to help you with that as I have recently started marketing these types of homes. 

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me via phone or email. I look forward to hearing from you!
