From Nursing to Real Estate: A Journey of Compassion and Competitiveness

Before diving into real estate, I worked as an ICU nurse during the Covid pandemic. Let me tell you-if you can handle the ICU, you can handle anything. I dealt with tough situations, from managing critically ill patients to handling the emotional toll of the pandemic. Real estate might seem like a completely different world, but the skills I honed in nursing-compassion, resilience, and problem-solving-are the same ones I use today when working with my clients.

I've seen it all, from dead bodies to dead houses. There's something about taking a rundown, forgotten property and transforming it into something beautiful and valuable. That's what I do for my clients, whether they're selling their homes or looking to invest in the booming West Michigan real estate market.

Specializing in Real Estate Investors and Multifamily Properties

What sets me apart? I don't just work with homeowners looking to sell their single-family homes-I also specialize in working with real estate investors. I understand the numbers and repairs that come with flipping homes and managing multifamily units because I've been doing it for over 10 years. During college, I managed multifamily properties, overseeing everything from tenant relations to major repairs. I know how much things cost, how long they take, and how to budget for repairs-skills that make me a valuable asset to any investor.

Investors love working with me because I don't just tell them what they want to hear-I give them the real numbers. I'm upfront about potential costs, and I help them maximize their returns by guiding them through the renovation process. If you're looking to sell your house on the market or need help with multifamily properties, I'm the expert you need by your side.

Need To Sell Your House Fast?

We buy houses in any condition. No realtors, no fees, no commissions, no repairs & don't clean.

Why Selling With a Real Estate Agent is the Smart Move If you're considering selling with a real estate agent, especially in Grand Rapids, let me tell you why it's a great idea. When you list your house on the market, you gain access to a broader pool of potential buyers, which increases your chances of selling for the highest price possible. As your agent, I can market your property on all the major platforms, from Zillow to Realtor.com, ensuring maximum exposure.

When you work with me, you're not just working with any real estate agent. You're working with someone who has over $5 million in real estate sales and knows how to get results. I'll create a customized marketing plan that includes professional photography, virtual tours, and targeted social media ads to make sure your home stands out.

Agents That Buy Your House vs. Selling With an Agent

You might have heard about agents that buy your house or cash home buyers who promise quick sales. While that's a viable option for some, it's not always the best route. When you choose to sell with a real estate agent, you open the door to higher offers. Yes, cash offers are convenient, but selling with an agent like me can get you top dollar for your property because I'll ensure it's seen by the right buyers.

Still, if you're in a hurry and looking for a fast cash offer, City Lights Home Buyers-my trusted partner-can provide that option. We make quick, hassle-free offers on homes in any condition. This way, you can get your property sold fast without worrying about repairs or listing fees. Learn more about our fast cash offers.

Reasons People Need Help Selling

Your reasons for selling doesn't matter to me. The only thing I care about is solving your problem by buying your house in cash as hassle-free as possible. No matter the reason, no matter the situation, I have seen a lot.

At Risk of Foreclosure?

Extensive Repairs?

How to Sell Your House on the Market

If you're wondering how to sell your house on the market, the process starts with partnering with the right real estate agent. I'll begin by conducting a comprehensive market analysis to ensure we set the right listing price for your home. Pricing is critical-too high, and your home sits; too low, and you lose money. With my extensive market knowledge, especially in West Michigan, I'll price your home competitively to attract the right buyers.

From there, we'll work together to prepare your home for showings. Don't worry if your property needs some updates-I've seen it all. I'll give you tips on staging and offer solutions that fit within your budget to make your home as appealing as possible. Once the offers come in, I'll negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get the best possible deal. Contact me today to get started.

Real-Life Story: Caleb and the Dog Incident

Let's face it-real estate isn't always glamorous. One of my partners, Caleb from City Lights Home Buyers, learned this the hard way. While inspecting a vacant property in Grand Rapids, he was bitten by a dog that had made the abandoned house its home. Ever since then, he's made it a point to carry dog treats and a camera on every visit to a vacant property. It's a funny story now, but it reminds us that you have to be prepared for anything in real estate.
