What Our Clients Have to Say

Thanks so much for your help with selling the house in Grand Rapids. It was definitely an answer to prayer as the market has been very difficult to predict. I hope you are doing well and that 2010 is a good year for you, your family and your business!

Good morning, Kate!

We've now had almost 48 hours in our new home, and we are enormously pleased to be in River House. Ken and I are both delighted with our apartment, even more than we had hoped to be. Clearly a tremendous amount of planning and thought went into the formulation. And our reaction to all of that effort? Well, for us life has suddenly gotten a lot easier! Our dachshunds Lucca and Marco are starting to feel right at home, and certainly their reception each time they pass through the lobby has convinced them that River House is perfectly conceived.

Thank you for making this process so effortless and pleasant - and thank you for the July morning we spent looking at apartments. I feel as if you showed me the entire spectrum of what River House offers, and guided me to the absolutely appropriate choice.

We could not be more pleased. To you and to the entire River House team, our thanks. Please know that for years to come we will continue to enjoy River House and to appreciate the hard work that went into its realization. We are the beneficiaries of that work and we thank you. I wish you continued success and know that you, Kate, are going to be making lots of Grand Rapids residents and newcomers alike very pleased that they've chosen to live in this city. We'd certainly recommend that anyone looking for the perfect home in Grand Rapids have the good fortune to work with you - they'd soon find themselves in as heavenly a home as the one in which we now delight.

We are content, we are comfortable and we thank you!

Best wishes,

Thank you so much for all you've done to help get me into my first place. Stumbling across that listing on Diamond was some of the best luck I've ever had, because it allowed me to work with you! Your knowledge and patience with me throughout this process was fantastic! It feels great to be home and to be moving into a beautiful house!

I was very happy with Patriot Realty! Andy Sietsema was efficient and professional, and made the whole selling process easy for my family. I can't imagine trying to sell our house on our own. Thank you, Patriot Realty!

Thank you! We cannot say enough about you and how you do business! You are on top of things every minute. Plus, you are so friendly as you are professional. We really don't know what led us to you but you sure are the best in the business. You made things so easy and uneventful, it was a stress-free time for us! We will recommend you to others!

Jeannine, it was great working with you. We always felt that you were working for us. We have had some other real estate experiences where I felt that it was the two agents against me, I still won, but it sure was easier and more pleasurable to have someone with your expertise and professionalism on our side.

Well, we “moved in” to the cabin last weekend. It was my first time up there since our showings and it met all of our expectations. We absolutely love the setting, the lake, the house, the area, and just about everything. We went for a few long drives up around the bigger reservoir, which is beautiful, found some hiking trails, checked out the biker bar across the lake, spent some time in Newaygo, and found time to buy a couple of jet skis from someone up in Canadian Lakes.

I can’t believe we pulled off the house purchase during the busiest time of my career—it was in no small part because of your willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty to help out in so many ways. I know you ultimately got paid for your effort, but you had no guarantee that you would for much of the time that you were so helpful. Thanks again for all your hard and good work.

Thanks so much, Jeannine, for all your work in getting the house sold. I'll tell everyone how hard you work for the seller and how good you are, besides what Ron did for me re: the shop.

We continue to appreciate everything your did to help make the purchase of the house happen! We enjoyed our first holiday in our cozy home, and we appreciate how smoothly and efficiently the sale happened!

Thank you a million times over for all you did to sell my house for me! I will never forget all you did (and Ron too!) and all the time your sacrificed to help me out!

We appreciate your professionalism and attention to detail and will most certainly contact you with any of our future real estate needs.

Rich and I truly appreciate all of your efforts in marketing our home. We look forward to working with you again next spring!

Thank you for everything you did for us (and everything you had to go through)! I know we will be very happy in our new home and are grateful you were there every step of the way!

Thank you for being such wonderful people! What a pleasure it has been to meet and find our cottage with you! All your knowledge and willingness to help address all our needs patiently is really appreciated!

You guys are the best! Thank you so much for all your hard work in helping us purchase our first home. We appreciate the ethical manner in which you conduct your business!

Thank you so much for all you have done for us! Words cannot express how grateful we are! We are SO happy in our new home!

We appreciate all you have done to get the home to closing! We know you really went far beyond when anyone could ever expect!

Ellen and I just want to thank you and Ron for the way everything was handled over the past few months. I have to admit that when we first started looking at cottages last year and this spring, we were plenty nervous about the whole idea, but when we saw this cottage, we knew that this was the one. You handle the whole process very professionally and took our worries away. There were no sleepless nights or waking up in a cold sweat. Everything went very smoothly. I know that if any of our friends start looking for a cottage, I will send them your way. Thanks!

We bought our home in Grandville while we were still living in Florida . We found Patriot Realty through the Internet and were quickly convinced that we had picked the right Realtor. Jeannine quickly replied to all of our e-mails and phone calls and supplied us with listings for homes that fit our criteria very well. During our short visit to the area, we were able to easily select the best home for us because of the groundwork Jeannine had laid. At this point, Ron's negotiating skills were very helpful.

Jeannine did a great job of keeping on top of things and keeping us informed up to and through the closing. After the closing, because of the distance and some unexpected health problems, she helped us with many items that we would never expect a Realtor to help with. We are very appreciative of that.

We have bought and sold many homes and this is the first time we enjoyed the process. Ron and Jeannine are definitely the best Realtors we have ever worked with!

Ron and Jeannine,

Don and I want to thank you for the great job you did in selling our house on Brooks Lake. We really enjoyed working with you as you were so

considerate and fun. We were also pleased with all the selections of condos you sent us and the patience you had taking us around to view them, and

we were lucky enough to find one we both love.

Thanks again, Don & Vivian (sale of lake home/purchase of condo)

Martha and I want to thank you and Ron for the very professional yet warm and personal manner in which you handled the sale of Redwood. No request was too big, no detail was too small, and your proactive communications kept us informed throughout the process. Your interaction and coordination with the lending institutions, the township regulators, and the attorneys involved went beyond the call. I will be more than happy to give an unequivocal recommendation of your services to anyone who asks. Once again, thank you.

It has been great working with you, and we want to once again extend our appreciation for your hard work and professionalism. You definitely are head and shoulders above other realtors and can use us as a reference anytime! Our only regret is that we didn't know you earlier (as neighbors on the lake)!
