I’ve spent over 25 years in real estate, building my career from the ground up. I started at the front desk of a real estate office right out of high school, and within a year I was licensed and working as the assistant to one of the top agents in the area. For more than 15 years, I worked behind the scenes learning every part of the business — client care, marketing, negotiation, contracts, and the details that can make or break a smooth transaction. Combined with earning my associate’s degree at GRCC, that experience gave me a deep, practical understanding of how real estate truly works.
When I decided to build my own business, it wasn’t just about stepping into a new role. It was about growth, responsibility, and doing the work the right way. That mindset still guides how I serve my clients today.
Here’s what that means for you:
You benefit from over 25 years of hands-on real estate experience.
I know what to watch for, how to avoid common pitfalls, and which strategies work — because I’ve seen transactions from every angle and through many different market cycles.
You’re working with a strategist, not just an agent.
My role is to help you move forward with a clear, personalized plan. Whether you’re moving into a home that better fits your needs, downsizing, or managing a loved one’s estate, I focus on clarity, preparation, and strong execution.
You’ll always know what to expect.
With years of experience teaching and mentoring in this industry, I prioritize communication and education so there are no surprises along the way — just a process that makes sense.
You’re working with someone deeply connected to the Jenison & Hudsonville area.
I live here, shop here, dine here, raise my family here, and volunteer locally because this community matters to me. From local schools and neighborhoods to community events, youth programs, and small businesses, that firsthand involvement gives me a deeper understanding of the area and the people who call it home.
At the end of the day, everything I’ve built in this business — experience, systems, and community involvement — is focused on one thing: helping you make confident decisions and move forward successfully in your next chapter.

Common questions & Answers
The amount you need for a down payment depends on the home price and loan type, ranging from 0% for RD and VA loans to 20% for conventional loans. Larger down payments can lower monthly payments and avoid PMI, but remember to budget for closing costs and an emergency fund.
Whether to sell or buy first depends on your situation. Selling first clarifies your budget but may require temporary housing, while buying first ensures you have a home but adds financial pressure if selling takes time. Let’s discuss your goals to find the best option for you!
