Real Estate Agent Bio

I was raised in Portage, Michigan by two wonderful immigrant parents from the Netherlands. After graduating from Michigan State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design, I worked in sales in the home furnishings industry. Eventually, it became obvious to me that I was ready for a change. Because gardening is a passion of mine, I decided to start a gardening business. After 13 years of loving and growing my gardening business the time had come for me to sell the business and move on. I took a few years off to enjoy being a mother and some “me” time and decided I was not ready to be “retired.” Considering all the things that I enjoy, I realized real estate would be my next calling and Coldwell Banker seemed to be the perfect fit for me! I truly feel that real estate is a lifetime endeavor and have found it immensely rewarding and gratifying to assist people with their real estate needs and dreams. I believe in giving back to my community and volunteer at the Kids Food Basket. Additionally, I am on the parent board for my son's high school, Culver Academies in Indiana. I also helps out when I can at my younger son's school. I have lived in the Grand Rapids area of Michigan for 28 years and service the Greater Grand Rapids area to the lakeshore. I also delight in sharing what the beautiful Michigan area lifestyle has to offer my clients with my local knowledge and expertise; which include a multitude of outdoor activities offering gorgeous nature trails and parks for walking, hiking and biking together with boating, fishing and skiing along with wonderful dining, boutique shopping and events, activities and outdoor music concerts are a must in Michigan in the summer too! I also likes to share that I enjoy spending time with my family and our dogs and I have a dedicated husband who is an incredibly supporting man and father of two magnificent boys. We love to travel, fish, ski and love on our dogs. The Coldwell Banker Schmidt Realtor Brand is like nothing else. It is recognized as a top brand in the real estate industry internationally. In my office, I am backed by a solid group of people that are true professionals in the industry, and are always around to assist when needed. My client's happiness is my number one goal. I strives to do everything I can to help anybody. I am honest and hard working with high integrity and enjoy having fun, but also know when it's time to get to work. Let me assist you with selling or buying your home, land for building, waterfront vacation home, investment property or luxury estate and discover the unique lifestyle, natural beauty and delightful climate that Michigan has to offer.

When it’s your turn to plan the monthly meeting… you take everyone to the zoo!

I had so much fun planning this month’s outing for our group of Coldwell Banker Schmidt Realtors and getting us out of the office for a private tour of John Ball Zoo.

One of my favorite things about this group is that our time together isn’t just about real estate. It’s a chance to connect, learn something new, share ideas, and enjoy some of the incredible places that make Grand Rapids such a great place to call home.

A huge thank you to the team at John Ball Zoo for giving us such a special behind-the-scenes experience and sharing more about the amazing work happening right here in our community.

And to this crew, thanks for trusting me with the plans this month. Already wondering how I’m supposed to top this one next time… 😂

25 years later, we still remember.

We remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, the first responders who ran toward danger, and the countless acts of courage and compassion that followed.

Today, we pause to honor them all. 🇺🇸

Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸

Today is a good reminder to slow down, enjoy a little extra time with the people you love, and appreciate the place you call home.

Wishing you a relaxing, well-earned day off and a wonderful end to the long weekend.

September in Grand Rapids is packed!

From festivals to classes, and some seriously good concert lineups, there is no shortage of things to do around Grand Rapids and West Michigan this month.

One of the biggest highlights is, of course, ArtPrize, returning to downtown Grand Rapids September 18 through October 3. If you haven’t experienced the city during ArtPrize, it’s one of those times when Grand Rapids feels completely alive with art, people and something new around every corner.

And music lovers have plenty to choose from this month too, whether you’re catching a show at the amphitheater, heading to Van Andel Arena, enjoying live music at a local festival or fair, or checking out the Allegan County Fair. With concerts ranging from Pitbull to Billy Idol, Mumford & Sons, Brooks & Dunn and more, your September calendar may need its own assistant.

But one event is especially close to my heart this month: Hugo’s first birthday! I had the chance to visit Hugo earlier this year, so we absolutely had to include his big milestone in this month’s roundup.

Whether you’re looking for ArtPrize, fall festivals, concerts, sports, food and wine events, family activities or something new to try, September is a pretty great month to get out and explore Grand Rapids and the surrounding West Michigan area.

Save this post for your September plans, send it to someone who’s always asking “what should we do this weekend?” and tell us what you’re most excited for this month!

August is serving up plenty of reasons to get out and enjoy Grand Rapids!

Catch a movie under the stars at Sunset Cinema, explore the fascinating Unseen Oceans exhibit, shop local art at the Fulton Street Market or make a day of Taste of East in Gaslight Village. There’s also live music, family fun, dog-friendly baseball, riverside festivals and even a marathon for anyone feeling especially ambitious.

Whether you’re planning a date night, a family outing or just looking for an excuse to explore somewhere new, there’s something happening all month long.

Save this post for your August plans, and tell me which event is going on your calendar!
