🌲 **PENDING IN EVART!** 🌊

I love helping my clients find more than just a property, I help them find their next adventure! This riverfront retreat will soon become a private retreat, and occasional short-term rental where guests can relax, recharge and enjoy everything the Evart area has to offer.

I’m so excited for my buyers and cannot wait to see their vision come to life. And yes, I’ll be patiently waiting for my invitation to float down the river! 😉🛶

Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸 Whether you’re spending the day relaxing at home, golfing, boating, grilling with family or squeezing in one last Michigan adventure, I hope you enjoy every minute of it.

However you spend it, make it a great one, and remember, the best memories usually begin at home. ❤️

🏡 Pending at 1372 Cramton Road

This closing will be especially meaningful to me. This home belongs to dear friends who raised their family here, created countless memories and began an addition with a vision for its future.

Now, it is time for a new owner to bring fresh life to the property, complete what was started and make this home their own. A home is more than its walls,it holds the stories of the people who loved it and the promise of what comes next. ❤️

I am grateful for the trust my friends placed in me to guide them through this important transition, and I look forward to seeing a new chapter unfold at 1372 Cramton.

Selling a home can feel personal, because it is personal. But you do not have to control every outcome to manage the process well. 🌿🏡

Focus on what you can control:

✅ Preparing your home thoughtfully
✅ Addressing important repairs
✅ Pricing from current market evidence
✅ Hiring experienced professionals
✅ Keeping your plans organized

The market will decide how buyers respond, but preparation gives your home its strongest opportunity.

If you are considering selling a home in Grand Rapids or West Michigan, I will provide honest guidance, a clear marketing plan and experienced representation from preparation through closing.

Let’s discuss what your home needs, and what it does not, before it reaches the market.

Buyers notice how a home smells before they notice many of its features. 👃✨

Before a showing:

✅ Clean thoroughly
✅ Empty trash and pet areas
✅ Wash fabrics and bedding
✅ Check carpets and upholstery
✅ Avoid heavy plug-ins or overpowering fragrances

A clean, neutral scent is usually more effective than trying to cover an odor. Fresh air and a well maintained home beat a cloud of artificial vanilla every time.

And yes, freshly baked cookies can create a warm welcome, but they cannot negotiate with last night’s fish dinner. 🍪

Preparing to sell your home in Grand Rapids or West Michigan? I can help you prioritize the details that shape a buyer’s first impression.
