Local know-how

What to know about buying and selling in East Grand Rapids

Lakefront homes have extra homework

On Reeds Lake, ask how the dock is handled, the condition of any seawall, and whether easements or shared access affect the shoreline. Check the flood map for low-lying lots.

Older homes, careful inspections

Many EGR homes date to the first half of the 1900s. Plan for a sewer scope, a look at the electrical and heating systems, and a lead-based paint disclosure.

Estimate taxes on your price

East Grand Rapids has its own city millage, and Michigan resets a home's taxable value the year after a sale. Have your agent or lender estimate taxes on the price you're paying, not the seller's bill.

Questions, answered

What parts of Michigan do you cover?

The whole state: metro Detroit, Ann Arbor, Lansing, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Traverse City, the lakeshore and the Upper Peninsula. Enter your ZIP and we match you with a partner who works that area.

Is this really free?

Yes. There's no cost to you. Our partner agents and lenders are paid the usual way, and only if you choose to work with them.

Who will contact me?

One of our partner real estate agents or mortgage lenders who serves your area. Keep your phone handy: they may call or text from a number you don't recognize. You can reply STOP or ask them to stop at any time.

Should I get pre-approved before I look at homes?

Usually, yes. A pre-approval shows sellers you're serious and tells you exactly what you can afford. After you send your request, tell us you need a mortgage and we'll add a partner lender too.

Can you help me sell and buy at the same time?

Absolutely. Pick "Buying & selling" and we'll match you with an agent experienced in coordinating both sides of a move.
