If there is anything at all that you'd like to discuss about a scenario or how our team advocates for our clients, you can reach out to me directly or @Greg Downey (our company president).I love where I work and love what I do.

I've talked with some other investors who had bad experiences with other agents and reading some of the stories here makes it even clearer the right team is paramount.If you decide to look at West Michigan feel free to reach out and I'll give you any data you need.

Feel free to reach out - I'd be more than willing to chat.
