My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Jamie and Mark Krier as first time homebuyers in East Grand Rapids, MI and we can't speak highly enough about our experience working with them! From the very beginning Jamie and Mark listened to and understood exactly what we were looking for. They had connections for touring pre-listed homes, knew pros/cons about specific house attributes and cities/neighborhoods, and always shared their professional knowledge/advice without pressuring us one way or another. They also have first-hand experience flipping homes which was extremely valuable for advice when assessing improvements/remodeling potential and value-add.
Not only did Jamie and Mark guide us through our first home buying process making sure we always knew what was going on, they helped us navigate purchasing mid-COVID (communicating frequently and keeping us informed of safety procedures while still making sure we didn't miss anything). Jamie and Mark were always responsive, available, and flexible, especially since we moved from out of town and often had to fit a lot into one day.
When it came time to make an offer Jamie and Mark were thoughtful, honest, and knowledgeable about how best to approach making an offer and negotiations. They communicated frequently and made sure to keep us informed all the way through the offer acceptance, inspections, and close. Finally, during inspections/closing and even after we purchased our home Jamie and Mark have provided countless referrals (inspectors, roofer, electrician, insect treatment, cleaning companies, plumbers, etc). As buyers new to the area we are immensely grateful for the connections, professional recommendations, and knowledge of Grand Rapids/EGR that they shared with us.
We will use Jamie and Mark for any future house sales/purchases and encourage our friends and family to do the same! They truly know real estate inside-and-out and made the whole experience positive. Highly recommend! read more
