What Am I All About?

Thank You for Coming By:

My name is Steve Volkers and I work with Keller Williams Realty to help individuals buy and sell homes in Grand Rapids, Michigan and the surrounding area.

I strongly believe that knowledge is power. As a Realtor, my number one goal is to help counsel and teach my clients about the process of buying and selling a home in the Grand Rapids area.

With unique internet marketing tools, I am able to get homes in front of more people in Grand Rapids than the average Realtor.

It's no longer the age or a market that we can put a home on the Grand Rapids Association of Realtors (GRAR) Multiple Listings Service (MLS) and pray that it will sell.

So thank you for reading my blog and starting the learning process with me. I hope that the articles that you will read on this blog will enrich your life and give you the knowledge and power to buy or sell your next home.

Also see my Facebook Profile to learn more about me and keep up with what is going on in my life.

My Passion:

I love to help other people.

I get a rush out of helping others to gain, grow and enrich their lives and to know that I was a small part of that.

Some of my other passions are golf, tennis and hanging out at our cottage. I enjoy reading self help books and talking to people about their day to day lives.

My Real Estate Thinking:

I see myself more as a Real Estate Counselor then an Agent. There are so many times people get over their heads in real estate and it's because someone along the way didn't take the time to counsel them properly. Please, if you are looking for a home, ask many questions upfront so you can go forward with the power of knowledge.

My Designations:

GRI stands for Graduate REALTORS Institute. The GRI designation acknowledges REALTORS who have completed a comprehensive education program that provides practical real estate training. This program is above and beyond the education required to earn a real estate license.

A real estate agent is a REALTOR when he or she becomes a member of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION of REALTORS, The Voice for Real Estate, the world's largest professional association. The term REALTOR is a registered collective membership mark that identifies a real estate professional who is a member of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION of REALTORS and subscribes to its strict Code of Ethics.

Thanks for taking care of us with all of this - especially all of the crap that we went through with the first house. We're incredibly grateful, and we're looking forward to being in this house for the next great stretch of our lives - our KIDS are going to be born in this house!!
