OUR STORY
In 2018, Ryann, Larry, and I came together with a vision. Pre-pandemic, we spent time researching and talking with people who had sold their homes without a realtor. We listened to their experiences—the good and the bad—and built a model that connects cash home sellers with cash home buyers across West Michigan.
By 2021, we took the leap and made real estate our full-time gig, launching City Lights Rentals. It was a scary decision, but with God’s guidance, we’re proud to be hardworking Americans in a time when work ethic is rare.
Our slogan at City Lights Rentals is simple: Inspire Others to Take Action. Live fully, embrace the adventure, and always aim high. Thank you for visiting our website—it's your trust that makes all this possible.

Caleb (Agent 007)
Appointment Manager at City Lights Rentals
Howdy, Ladies and Gentlemen! I’m Caleb Rights, the Lead Manager at City Lights Rentals, serving Grand Rapids, MI, and the surrounding West Michigan area. My role is to personally meet with clients, answer all your real estate questions, and take high-quality photos of your home to understand what matters most to you when it’s time to sell your house for cash.
My real estate journey began in my early 20s when I faced a life-changing decision under pressure. That experience taught me the value of hard work, honesty, and the rewards of diving into something new. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with clients from all walks of life, each encounter sharpening my skills in understanding their needs and communicating effectively.
At City Lights Rentals, I pride myself on providing personalized service with integrity and dedication. Whether you're dealing with divorce, foreclosure, probate, or delinquent property taxes, I’m here to make a difference by offering fast, fair cash offers for your home.
Outside of real estate, I stay energized by hitting the gym, reading self-help books, and traveling. Fun fact: I’m a Certified Part 107 Drone Pilot, so I can take stunning aerial photos of your home—free of charge!
If you’d like to learn more about my journey and insights, check out my personal website and blog at Caleb's-blog.
I’m excited to help you sell your home in West Michigan. See you at the walkthrough!

Larry is more than just a friendly face—he’s our own personal portable Buddha. Whether you’re a homeowner, renter, or neighbor, Larry’s presence provokes feelings of love and peacefulness, making every interaction a little brighter.
