City of Portland · Ionia County

Buying or selling in Portland? Get matched with the right local pro.

Portland calls itself the City of Two Rivers because the Looking Glass River meets the Grand River here, in eastern Ionia County. Its downtown keeps an 1880 opera house, a 1905 Carnegie library and an 1881 railroad bridge, and a riverwalk follows the water. A partner agent who works Portland knows how in-town homes, river lots and the farms around the city compare.

Local know-how

What to know about buying and selling in Portland

Two rivers, two flood checks

Homes near the Grand or the Looking Glass River can sit in a mapped floodplain. Look up the FEMA map and ask about past high water before you commit.

Older homes in town

Many houses near downtown are late 1800s or early 1900s. Have the foundation, wiring, plumbing and sewer line inspected, and expect a lead disclosure on pre-1978 homes.

Outside the city line

Homes in the surrounding townships often have wells and septic and pay township rather than city taxes. Confirm the jurisdiction and inspect the systems.

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.
