What I appreciated most about Steve was that he took our needs into consideration. He offered his advice and opinions, but was not at all pushy. He had a good understanding of neighborhoods, home styles, maintenance issues, and what other features we should consider given the criteria we had provided him. We were looking to sell our current home and buy a new home, and when we realized that the market to sell was not in our favor, he in no way forced us to sell just for his profit. In fact, his office helped us to find a renter for our old home! I would definitely work with Steve and his office again. Less

I worked with Mike when purchasing my home. He helped me find a great home in the area I wanted to be in. He made the process very smooth, and helped me find a good lender. I felt like he was always looking out for my best interest. I would recommend working with Mike!

Steve and his team are extremely helpful, genuine, and knowledgeable. They provided fantastic guidance throughout the home buying process. It was easy to tell that they care on a personal level.

Steve was a pleasure to work with! He is very intuitive to what we were looking for when buying a home, and has many great connections. He was able to find us a home that we love in less than a month.

I choose Steve as my Realtor because he "gets it". Not only does he understand the local real estate market but after a few questions and conversations with my fiancee and i he was able to assess our needs, and find us homes that met them. He got us into a house that i would have never thought we could afford in a million years (for a price that was less than our rent). Steve is like a real estate genie who makes the perfect houses appear in neighborhoods you didn't even know existed. Plus he's fun guy to drive around with on a Sunday afternoon. Less

Buying a home in Grand Rapids while still living in Washington, DC was daunting for us. Steve made the process painless and was very accommodating of our limited schedule for house hunting. Steve's excellent knowledge of the different neighborhoods around GR helped us quickly narrow our search to find homes that suited our specific style. We found our dream house in a great neighborhood! We always recommend him to friends who are looking to buy or sell, and they have been impressed with Steve and his team as well! Less

I have recommended Steve Volkers over others Realtors because he realized long ago that the depth of his effectiveness is found in the talented team he leads. Steve's team is incredible therefore his results are incredible. But it's important to note that an incredible team is never formed without great leadership. Steve is more than just a team leader, he is an industry leader. Thanks for selling Grandma's house so fast Steve!

Steve helped us purchase a vacation property that was out of town. He connected us with the perfect people to help us get our financing set up and his team was extremely responsive through the whole process. They made all of the paperwork and requirements a breeze. I would recommend Steve, and his team, without hesitation.

Our realtor became our best friend during this process. Ashley was amazing to work with directly and the Steve Volkers office was very helpful and easy to work with as we sold our home and found a new one!

Steve is very bright and has a wide knowledge of the mechanics and operations of a home. His congenial demeanor and knowledge put you immediately at ease. He was able to achieve everythign we needed in the negotiation, however we might have been encouraged to be a little too generous with the offer and not specific enough with the repair requirements. At the same time, a lower initial offer might have led us back to the point we were with more acrimony that may have made the repairs even more challenging. Less

I purchased my first home through Kimberly Jackson at Steve Volkers group and her attention to detail was incredible. Kimberly was very educated and offered great insight while walking through homes. The purchase went very smoothly. Any issue that came up was quickly resolved by Kimberly on my behalf. All of my questions were promptly answered to make my home buying experiance a very positive one.

Incredible experience both buying and selling. Walked me through the process at my level. Never felt out of the loop or felt like I was unable to ask questions. This would be my first choice if I had to buy or sell again (neither of which I hope to need to do for a long time).

I was looking for something very specific in a specific area. Hanna worked with me, was very positive throughout the process, helped guide me through a condo purchase as it was different for financing than a standard mortgage, came through with negotiating a purchase price and came up with some very good ideas along the way that showed she was able to think outside the box and come up with solutions for me

The Steve Volkers group was an excellent team to work with in selling our house. They were knowledgeable about the area, and came to the first meeting with local stats in the area. We moved before our house sold, and even across the country we were able to close on our house in a low-stress way!

We worked with Dale as our seller's realtor and he was very professional and responsive. I like that the Steve Volkers group has a staff of talented people that follow through - this is not a one-man band. The pictures of our house were well done and start to finish the process went very smoothly. I highly recommend Dale Hamill and the Steve Volkers Group.

Steve and the group are fantastic at what they do. The marketing/selling of our home was executed well (with fantastic wide-angle photos), helping us shop (super-picky), and explaining various processes and technical details. They are honest and helpful, as well as rock-star marketers. Oh, and a realtor that quickly communicates via phone, email, Twitter, Facebook, text, etc? Priceless!

After having a short-sale fall through (not on the fault of Steve Volkers Group or ourselves) our realtor quickly showed us several other homes on the same day! We ended up closing on a traditional sale home in less than 2 months and are very satisfied!

Bill Pearl from the Steve Volkers was a pleasure to work with. Our home was listed and sold within 4 days! The home we purchased was a "for sale by owner" and we are so very glad we asked him to help us with that process as well. Very professional, very friendly and very reliable. I would recommend Bill Pearl and the Steve Volkers group to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home!

Steve and his group did an excellent job helping us sell our house. From first meeting to closing, my wife and I were impressed with the professional manner in which they did their job. I think we came into contact with five or six people from the group, and all of them were knowledgeable and very efficient in the areas they were responsible. We will also use the Steve Volkers Group to find our next house. They have our highest recommendation.

The team at SteveVolkers Group was amazingly creative in helping us sell our house and find the next location for us to buy. They know the market, do personalized research, stay in touch as needed, and finish the deal. Too bad the banks don't learn about customer service from them. Cindy in the office knows how to finish the paperwork promptly and accurately. Steve and Bill are complementary with their skill set. Others in to office coordinate and create graphics and photographs with a high degree of expertise. Nice to work with them. We'll use them again should the occasion present itself. Less

I contacted his office from a listing on Zillow and they took a long time to respond about the lot for sale. Finally they did and all they did was ask me questions about my home, fishing for my business. When I asked again about the lot for sale, I was told someone else would contact me that she didn't know the information. No one ever called back and I found out on my own that the lot was sold a long time ago and shouldn't even be on the website. I asked for Steve to call me and he never did. Less

It was great. Steve works with a potential buyer diligently and educates them of the process in detail. He also has the buyers interest in mind and good negotiating skills. As a first time home buyer, he provided me with all the information I needed and worked with me to close on the deal.

If you are looking for someone to either help you with a rental/lease or purchase a space STOP HERE! Steve is your one stop shop. My husband and I used him initially to look for condos to lease/rent and he help facilitate a purchase on the leased condo we were in. He always had our best interests at heart and understood our wants,needs and especially budget. I could not say enough about Steve except you would be making a mistake if you did not use his services.

I love working with Steve (and his entire team) he's extremely knowledgeable and genuinely excited to help. Whether it's Grand Rapids real estate, marketing, media services, or any other resources in Grand Rapids, Steve always proves to be immensely helpful.
