Buying in Kent County
What selling a house in Grand Rapids is really like
Grand Rapids is the largest market we work in, and it has the most cash buyers elbowing for the same houses. That's good news for you. It means you should get more than one offer. Take ours, take somebody else's, lay them side by side on the kitchen table, and go with whichever one is better. We mean that.
Here's what we won't do: hand you a big number to get the house under contract, then come back the week of closing, after you've packed and given notice, and ask for a discount. That move is common enough in Kent County that you should ask every buyer you talk to two questions. Is your offer contingent on an inspection, and what happens if you change your mind? If our number ever moves, it's because something material turned up in title or the house itself changed before closing, and we'll show you exactly what it was.
Kent County's older neighborhoods have a lot of tired rentals and inherited homes. Both usually come with something a buyer's lender won't sign off on. A knob-and-tube panel. A roof on its last season. A basement that takes on water every spring. Those things move the price. They don't move the answer, which is still yes.

Straight answers
Selling a house in Grand Rapids: what neighbors ask us
Do you buy in Wyoming, Kentwood and Walker?
We do. Wyoming, Kentwood and Walker are all inside our Kent County area, along with Cascade, Ada, East Grand Rapids and Rockford.
I have tenants in my Grand Rapids rental. Can you buy it occupied?
Yes. Nobody has to move out for us to buy. Pass along the address, the lease and what the tenant pays, and we'll price the house as a working rental, tenants and all.
Will you lower your offer before closing?
Not unless title turns up something material, or the house itself changes between the day we shake hands and the day we close. If that happens, you'll see exactly what changed and where it came from. An offer that quietly shrinks the week of closing is a negotiating trick, not a valuation, and we don't play it.
Let's put a number on your Grand Rapids house.
No obligation and no fee. If listing it would net you more, that's what you'll hear from us instead.
