Family & Community

We have been married for 42 years and have a daughter, Holly, who lives in Shanghai China and teaches at Shanghai High School International Division. She is currently studying for her MBA degree in National Security. Our Faux daughter is Danielle Robinson who worked us for many years. Danielle is married to Patrick and has our Grandagents Lake and Jack. Dave and I enjoy sailing, volunteering and traveling. Miss Moneypenny (Money for short) is our office mascot. She is a rescued Shitzu Poodle and enjoys going to closings where she gets cookies from the closers. She is happy to no longer be in a cage and has a princess pillow in the office!

We have watched our community grow over the past years and it is truly a shining star in Michigan. From our "Medical Mile" to our Symphony, VanAndel Arena, the Ballet to the BOB. Our community has the amenities of a large town but the character of a small town. Summers in downtown are filled with music and festivals, fall is filled with Art from Art Prize--The largest art show in the world! Winters offer skiing at Cannonsburg, skating at Rosa Park Circle and watching the The Griffins play hockey. Visit my visual tour on YOUTUBE to get your taste of Grand Rapids!

"After 10 years of renting, I decide it was time to overcome my fear of commitment and buy a house. Although I was terrified I would never be able to find something livable in my price range, The Zuidema Team came to my rescue. They showed me several houses and when we finally found "the one" I couldn't believe how easy they made the whole process! Once I realized commitment wasn't so bad after all I took it one step further and got myself a boyfriend. Two years later we moved in together and it was time to sell my beloved house. Who did I call? The Team, of course! Buyer after buyer, offer after offer, she was there making every step of the way as painless as possible. If it weren't for The Team, I'd still be renting! Thanks Guys!!"

I just wanted to say thank you very much for all the hard work you have done to help me find a home and get it. I am very appreciative of all your hard work and patience in explaining things to me.

Thanks again so much.

Wendy has the energy and talent to manage several projects, and at the same time, make you feel as if you are her only client. I'm glad to say that Wendy played an integral part in our smooth transition to Grand Rapids while finding my family the perfect home. Particularly helpful were her contacts and resources that dealt with issues related to the purchase of a new home.

Kevin and Betsy

After the third relocation in five years, we really knew what to expect when moving home, family, and career. However, Wendy Zuidema and the Team exceed all of our expectations. The high level of service, professionalism, and responsiveness was invaluable to our making a successful transition to Grand Rapids. Wendy was more than a real estate agent - she became a "one stop" resource for many of our family needs, including contacts and referrals for decorating, childcare, physicians, restaurants, you name it. Wendy is truly an advocate for her client and keeps you informed along the way. We would definitely want Wendy and the team to service our relocation needs in the future.

Deborah and Stan

This is our sixth home, each in a different state, so we have worked with several different Real Estate Agents/Brokers. Wendy is the best! She was always available, pro-active, and efficient, has vast knowledge of the area and knows all the right people to make things happen quickly. Wendy found our home in three days and closed us in less than one week. It's clear that her goal is to see everyone in their dream home and neighborhood.
