Fantastic experience: Dave was great in working with us to make a smooth transition to Holland MI from our home is Lancaster PA. We did a remote settlement and he allowed us to measure and have several installers into the house prior to settlement so our transition went more smoothly. Thanks for helping us, Dave.
Fantastic experience: You will be very pleased with the professional help of Dave DeYoung in selling your home. He is friendly, smart, informed, market savvy, honest, and an all around pleasure to work with! Dave knows how to sell a home! With his helpful suggestions, we went to work to make our home look its best. He knows which updates have the most impact and are important to do. He is a very good communicator, and is always upbeat and encouraging. With his guidance, we were able to go from an initial meeting on Sept. 5, to a photo shoot on Oct. 23, to an open house on Nov 2, to accepting a fantastic offer on Nov 6, to closing and handing over the keys to our happy buyers on Dec 4. The selling experience with Dave DeYoung was excellent! We highly recommend him! You can trust him with selling your home. Thank you, Dave! You are the BEST!

Fantastic experience: Dave DeYoung was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. I highly recommend him!
Fantastic experience: Sam is a super agent to work with.
Fantastic experience: Kim is quite possibly the best realtor ever!! She made the whole process FUN and effortless. The care and attention she gave us made us feel like we were her only clients at the time. And I can’t leave out all the personal touches, it was like we’d been friends all along!! Highly recommend to anyone looking to sell or buy!!
Fantastic experience: Kim Magoon tackled the sale of a condo in a co op which was uncharted territory for her and involved the Probate Court process as well to get the sale approved. She never flinched and jumped through every hoop and never lost her composure or sense of humor!
Fantastic experience: I've had nothing but a wonderful experience working with Cindy! She went above and beyond for us. She has great communication, which is very important in the home hunting/buying process. She was always kind, and always had great and positive energy. The home buying process is a stressful one, but Cindy really made sure to make it a lot easier for us. She knows what she's doing. I give her 11 out of 10 stars.
Fantastic experience: Professional and easy to communicate with.
Fantastic experience: Sam Greenstein and Dave DeYoung are two realtors I have had the pleasure of working with through Coldwell Banker Woodland Schmidt and I cannot say enough good things about them. I highly recommend this real estate team.
Fantastic experience: We selected Woodland to represent us for the sale of our home in Gun Lake. We ended up working with the realtor Todd Vanderhulst as our agent. What a great experience it has been to work with Todd. He is a great communicator and always kept us up to date so we could make informed decisions as we progressed through the transaction. We would highly recommend Todd Vanderhulst and Caldwell Banker Woodland for your real-estate needs.
Fantastic experience: Wendy is fantastic, I am completely new to this process and she walked me through everything. She explained everything in detail and when I had questions, she was patient and knowledgeable. I have already recommended her to a friend and would do so a 1000 times over. She is incredible to work with and helped me navigate buying my first home, I am so grateful!
Fantastic experience: Cindy Grodus did a great job of finding a home for us and walking us through the details of the transaction in a new real estate market. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: I had the good fortune of choosing Kim Magoon as my selling and buying agent. After the unexpected death of my husband, I made the decision to sell our home and purchase a new home where I would start a new life. This wasn’t my first time selling or buying a home. But considering that I was going through the most difficult and painful moment of my life, I needed someone in whom I could put 100% confidence and trust. Kim delivered. She was my rock and held my hand through the whole process. She stayed in daily contact with me, listened to my needs and promptly responded to all my questions and requests. She gave sound professional advice and I trusted her personal opinions on properties that I thought I wanted but she knew weren’t the right fit for me. Kim Magoon is a realtor that will go the extra mile for you and will treat you like family and a friend. Thank you Kim!
Fantastic experience: Very pleasant curbside pick up
Fantastic experience: Rob is AMAZING! We have worked with a few realtors now and hands down Rob tops them all! He goes out of his way for his clients and is so helpful! You won't be disappointed with Rob as your realtor.
Fantastic experience: I've have had Coldwell- Joannie Bouman for my realtor a few times and she is fantastic. Coldwell is a wonderful company to work with
Fantastic experience: Helped us get a house amazing staff will definitely recommend if you want to buy a house
Fantastic experience: Great agents!
Fantastic experience: My wife and I worked with Taylor Koning for the purchase of our first home, and she was amazing! She answered every question we had about the process, and made the whole process go super smooth! I was originally skeptical about using an agent to buy, but I think now we'll use her in the future for any other home purchases.
Fantastic experience: Grand Haven location, David Riemersma was our realtor...he did a PHENOMENAL job! We were out of state for most of the process, he took our friends to look at the house and helped us actually win an offer war for the house of our dreams! He stayed in close contact from day one of meeting him until the closing date. He will definitely be invited to the house warming! He's dedicated, real, humorous and reliable. He'll be with us for all our buying/selling needs in the future!

Negative experience: Rick Genzink was unresponsive to texts, calls, and emails. Unreachable for days at a time. Highly unprofessional.
Fantastic experience: #1 company for decades in West Michigan. Great leadership under Jack Bouman
Fantastic experience: We are currently working with Marie to find our perfect house. She has been wonderful and has been there whenever we have wanted to see a house or had a short question.
Negative experience: Buyer and seller agent both worked together in this deal! Who in the hell schedules the move in and move out on the same damn day! You should know better!
Fantastic experience: We worked with the Jim & Bernie team to purchase our home and everything went as smoothly as possible. Everyone in the office is friendly and Bernie even spent his Saturdays helping us find our home! He was very helpful and patient with all of our questions and solved every problem that came up.
Negative experience: We bought a house through team Jim & Bernie about 2 years ago. It was a Fannie May foreclosure they represented and the maintenance of the property was being managed by a local contractor through "Asset Management Services" (out of state). Paperwork tie ups for the well & septic kept us from closing on the property for about a month (not the fault of Coldwell Banker or Team Jim & Bernie, it was a back-log at the county). We had an accepted offer on the house but in the meantime the asset management company started taking things off the property. They took some of the storm windows, they took some of the large 6' picture windows that were on site awaiting to be installed (the previous owner had left behind, over $500 in value), they took the bathroom mirror and medicine cabinet, the coat racks bolted to the walls, one of the workbenches, tore out the buried wiring that ran out to the shed, and more. The neighbors watched it happen, the asset management company signed in the visit log (Dustin F.) that they were there cleaning up, but there was nothing we could do to stop them. We followed the instructions posted on the house and called the 1-800 number (to asset management) to report a problem at the property, they called team Jim & Bernie, who called our realtor to inform us to "let it go." I'd have been ok with the stuff being stolen if there was some consequence to the actions or an apology given, but in a phone call to Bernie Merkle he said that they don't pursue these issues and you just have to be ok with it. We were hoping for a face to face meeting at the closing but nobody from team Jim & Bernie showed up to the closing. The person representing the selling agency was a "mobile closer" who served as a notary public to stamp the documents and receive the money from us. We had requested all the documents for the closing from team Jim & Bernie in advance so we could read through the paperwork before the closing day, but that did not happen. We ended up sitting across from the Notary Public with her asking us to pay for the house and sign all the paperwork without reading it because she had to be in Grand Rapids for another closing soon. Are you kidding me? Overall, my rating for this experience is based on the following factors: The were able to effectively sell the house to us that we were attempting to buy. However, $2,000+ of assets disappeared in the process, documents requested were slowing in coming or not available until they exact moment that they were required to be signed, and a lack of concern to the integrity of the property they were selling, and lack of concern that this same experience might happen to someone in the future if the contractor theft wasn't addressed or at least forwarded on to the higher-ups. We had a signed purchase agreement, but nobody cared about trying to stop assets from disappearing (if they did, they certainly didn't tell us), and we never received an apology.
