I have been selling Residential Real Estate since 2000 and have built my business by always taking care of the

finest details and making sure I stay one step ahead of my clients. Over the years past few years I have organized

the May Group Realtors,® a team of top-notch professionals, to offer my clients the best service in the industry

for every part of the real estate transaction.

I offer my clients a stress-free, non-pressure approach to buying or selling their home. I want my clients to feel

at ease during the buying/selling process. My experience and expertise includes buyer/seller representation,

marketing, consultation, relocation, and investment properties.

Grand Rapids is a fantastic city, which I consider to be my home since relocating from Boyne Mountain to

graduate from GVSU with a degree in Urban and City planning. I know the area intimately and enjoy being able

to share that knowledge through working in Real Estate.
