Julie is an incredibly knowledgeable and responsive agent! She helped my partner and I purchase…read moreand sell multiple multi-family properties in Muskegon, Michigan. Four of these rental properties were purchased in less than a year, and we closed on three of them within the same month as we were in the process of a 1031 exchange. Julie and her team executed the sale of each property with efficiency, making a process which is often complicated to be very simple for us. We recently decided to sell a few of our properties and immediately contacted Julie to get the process rolling. Her and her team worked with us through a land contract and seamlessly aligned the sale of both properties to occur on the same day. Julie's expertise in both the Muskegon and Grand Rapids markets in both SFH and multi-family properties is top notch. She communicated with us regularly and we never had a question regarding the status of either the buy or sell side transactions. We absolutely love working with her.

There is no way I can do Julie justice in a short yelp review, but I will try. I decided to make a…read morehome purchase in Grand Rapids while living in another state. Julie was very accommodating and took me on virtual tours of multiple properties. She was extremely responsive to all of my dumb questions and took all of my inquiries seriously. She is very knowledgeable about the area and made recommendations based on the criteria I provided, never being pushy during the process. Once we identified a home, Julie stayed engaged and helped facilitate the transactions with the bank and property manager. She always made sure we had next steps identified and though purchasing a home can be a daunting task, Julie and her team made the process painless. I would recommend Julie to anyone considering buying a home in Grand Rapids or the surrounding area and I look forward to working with her again.

The listing agents came to our home and gave us a low, middle, and high market average price for homes that had sold in our neighborhood. We were motivated to sell, and we were encouraged to price it at the average price. Our home sold in 1 week with multiple offers. Imagine our surprise when we sold our home for 8% more than it had been listed for! If you are selling, buying, or investing in Real Estate I would highly recommend using this team!

My wife and I completed our custom home build with Buffum Homes, and I cannot fully express how…read morepleased we have been with the whole process with their team. This was a project for us nearly a year in the making as we interviewed different builders and toured different developments. Buffum stood out from the start with their responsiveness, quality and attention to detail. Being able to get in at the beginning of the new phase in their Planters Ridge development was a bonus as we were able to get the exact home site we wanted. We started the process with Josh Buffum who walked us through the design phase, costs, contracting, etc. and was always patient and responsive in enduring our many questions (we don't build a new home every day!). We then moved to the build process and our project manager, Brian, was simply stellar. He regularly went above and beyond in supporting our build. With significant building experience himself, he was not only a project manager but also a valuable advisor and advocate for us through the whole process. If something needed to get done, Brian made sure it got done. We simply could not have done this project without him. I have to also mention Lindsey in the Buffum office who managed our account charges and summary, among other things, through the process. She was an invaluable resource for us and was always available to answer any of our questions. And you won't find a more upbeat and friendly person in the company! We also used Buffum Homes to sell our current home. Norm Buffum stepped in at that point and provided similar stellar support answering our many questions and helping us navigate the selling process, all while getting us an above asking price offer! I could go on, but suffice it to say, we wholeheartedly recommend Buffum Homes to anyone considering building or purchasing a new home! A great company and even better people!

Unlike private landlords renting their own properties, a property manager is licensed and regulated by the Michigan Board of Real Estate Brokers and Salespersons.

One day randomly my boyfriend and I were staring at the rent prices increasing in Eastown and…read moredecided to look at houses for sale. We weren't looking too seriously, but thought it might be a good investment. A home in Heritage Hill really caught our attention and we had spammed realtors for a showing with no reply- except for Santiago from Blu House. Since the day we met Santiago he has always laid down the facts, came up with kick-ass creative solutions, and always went out of his way to make sure we had an edge in this chaotic competition of attempting to buy a home in GR. Now we're buying a home, about a month later from the day we started looking. Blu House as a whole real estate agency has taken care of us, been honest, and found professionals for us so our naive innocent perspectives wouldn't be a disadvantage (and our money stayed in our pockets!) I cannot tell you how much I love this business and how they approach what they do. I know at any time I could text my realtor and get an answer to whatever question I have. I know I will always get honesty through facts, and always a rational way of approaching a problem. I recommend them to everyone in this city. Support our awesome friends and neighbors :)
