February Luxe-Letter


As Realtors we truly enjoy going above and beyond to take the stress out of what can be a stressful process.  Buying a home is incredibly exciting but can be a nerve-wracking experience as well.  Whether you are a First Time Home-Buyer, or looking to Buy or Sell based on changes in your family’s life we will be here for you every step of the way.


How's The Market These Days?

That’s the million dollar question most agents get asked by anyone who hears they are in Real Estate, but it’s a question with many different facets.  Are you asking for stats in your specific neighborhood because you are curious what that house down the street sold for in relation to what you paid back in 2021?  Are you looking out to the future and thinking about how to put the equity in your home to work for you?  Are you thinking about investment properties and wondering about the availability, affordability and return on your investment?  Or do you want to hear from a trusted advisor about how they go about earning the trust and confidence of their clients to best serve their fiduciary role and maximize the value they provide? 

 

In most cases its probably a mixed bag and what a good agent will respond with is ‘What part of the market are you interested in?’ so that they can best provide that value.  We are happy to provide the stats you many want, a quick Comparative Market Analysis if you are curious or just simply some of what I am seeing move the needle when homes get listed in your neighborhoods.

Give us a call and let’s schedule an Annual Real Estate Review!


Homes for Heroes

Service Deserves Its Rewards

Our Owner, Juri Groenland is a Homes for Heroes Affiliate Realtor.  The long & short of the Homes For Heroes program is that if you are a qualified Community Hero – Educator, Firefighter, Police Officer, Medical Professional or Military Member – either Active Duty or Veteran and you use a Homes for Heroes affiliated Realtor® to help you buy or sell your home you will receive a monetary reward from the Homes for Heroes program through that agent.That doesn’t begin, however, to scratch the surface of why agents are willing to give up a portion of their professional fees as a Thank You for your service!  Juri's Why begins in Paw Paw, Michigan where he grew up the son of a 4th grade teacher and middle school Language Arts Teacher, both of whom eventually moved out of the classroom and into administration where his Dad was the Vice Principal of his small town High School and his mom a guidance counselor for their rival.

His 'Why' continued to evolve Serving 20 years in the Navy and experiencing first-hand the Nomadic life of an Active Duty career.  And for good measure, he married a nurse so you could say he has almost all the bases covered in his life experiences.  What providing service and this type of thank you means to Juri truly is just that, Serving.  In his own words; "I have unwavering gratitude for those who run towards the fire, take in those ER patients, or use their gifts to teach our next generation.  They deserve the reward and I am grateful to provide it along with my services."
