Whether You're Buying or Selling
For Buyers
Buying a home looks different for everyone. Maybe it’s your first home, your next one, an investment property, or a place that better fits the season of life you’re in. Wherever you’re headed, I’ll help you make sense of the process and find the right fit.
With more than a decade of experience and extensive knowledge of Greater Grand Rapids and West Michigan, I can help you look beyond the listing, understand the market, spot opportunities, and put together a strong strategy when it’s time to make an offer. From our first conversation through closing day, you’ll have an experienced advocate in your corner.
For Sellers
Selling well takes more than putting your home on the market. It takes smart pricing, strong presentation, strategic marketing, and knowing how to position your property for the buyers most likely to want it.
I’m hands-on throughout the entire process, from preparing your home and determining the right price to marketing, showings, negotiations, and closing. With deep local market knowledge, extensive industry resources, and enhanced marketing opportunities like Zillow Showcase, we’ll build a strategy designed around your home and your goals.

What My Clients Are Saying
"Selecting the right agent is important: Kendra is knowledgeable, experienced, quick to respond, provides answers to questions, is effective at negotiations, not pushy but quite respectful. She walks along side you, helping you make your decisions and choices. She does not make them for you. I encourage you to have a conversation with Kendra before you select your agent."
-Star Smeenk
"Kendra is such a pleasure to work with. From start to finish, she helped my husband and I through every step of the process in buying our first home. She is very knowledgeable and gives honest and accurate guidance and advice. Kendra is one of the nicest people I've ever met. She always has a smile on her face and a positive attitude. I would definitely recommend Kendra to anyone looking to buy a home, whether it be their first starter home, retirement home, or final dream home. When we are ready for moving on to a bigger house, we will definitely be using Kendra!"
-Alex Grindle
"Kendra was FABULOUS! We originally contacted Kendra to view one of her listed properties. Without pressuring us, she came over, did a complete write-up, and had us ready to sell in one evening. Again, we felt zero pressure! Our house sold in a day and above asking price... Kendra was always positive and upbeat. Upon finding our dream house, she went to bat for us and we GOT IT! We revel in the fact that selling our original home, then buying this house was COMPLETELY painless! Kendra's number one strength is begin an effective communicator. She is always available regardless of your needs and works extremely fast."
-Karli Rowe
"Kendra helped us sell our old house and buy a new one. We were thoroughly pleased with her work in both transactions. She always had our interests at the forefront and handled all problems for us. Our recommendation comes without reservations. We will use her again when we next move."
