Testimonials

  I’ve used John for buying twice and selling twice now. He’s a fantastic buyers agent with a good eye for possible issues (bad roof, sloped floors, cracked foundation, etc). He’s also a wonderful sellers agent by getting amounts I wouldn’t have even dared ask for. He clearly knows the market and made honest and knowledgeable suggestions for how/what to offer when buying. His explanations of offers received when selling were also very helpful.

  Buying a new home and moving can be complicated and stressful, especially when it involves a cross-country move. Do yourself a huge favor and work with John De Vries. I highly recommend him for he is professional in conduct, straightforward in approach, personal in all interaction, honest and prompt in communication, and loyal to his clients. Integrity is important to me, and you get it with John.

  John was very on the ball with sending us new homes that popped up. We walked through 15+ houses so we got to see him a lot. He often had appointments within the day if we were interested in a walk-through. He was very friendly and was always honest with us. He was confident to tell us the good and bad of each house. Would recommend 10/10

  John is a great realtor! He helped us find and buy a house that we love, and then he helped us sell our house, which sold in 3 days right at the amount he told us we should expect. He answered all our questions and gave good advice through the entire process of buying and selling. We would recommend John to anyone!

  John was all the best you would hope for in a realtor--knowledgable, personable, professional, and available right when you need him! We were purchasing a home with very specific needs-budget, large family, yard, a study--and all under a time constraint. He answered our endless questions and often showed up to look at a house with little notice. We appreciate his efforts!

  John was the realtor for a condominium we purchased from Interra Homes in Redstone Farms Development in Kalamazoo, MI. John was simply outstanding. He also sold our former condo as part of our move to Kalamazoo. John continues to be up to date on the market in terms of prices that are realistic. That alone eliminates a whole set of anxieties. He, and his assistant, communicate well, communicate often, and communicate with an understanding of where the client is coming from. The only limitations on what John could do were the willingness and ability of other gatekeepers involved in the process to follow through on requests. Trustworthy, knowledgeable, customer-oriented, and willing are all traits that characterize John. Using John as a realtor will eliminate many concerns you might have about the whole buying and selling process.

  John was very prompt and was firm, but extremely cordial during negotiations and house presentation. He was most helpful on presenting the house to perspective buyers to secure the most value for us, the sellers.

  We loved working with John and his team, and are so thankful we had the opportunity to work with them. John was so easy to work with and very knowledgeable about all aspects of buying a home. As first-time home buyers, we didn't know much, but he never made us felt like we were asking a dumb question and was always very helpful and timely when getting back to us and making sure we knew what was going on. We appreciate everything John and his team did for us!

  We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with John. He guided us through the construction and purchase of our new home over the course of a year and then helped us obtain a great deal on the sale of our existing home. He is incredibly knowledgeable, kind and easy going. He was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had along the way. We would not hesitate to work with him again and will absolutely recommend him to our friends and family in need of a realtor!

  John was a great asset in helping us find our very first duplex, even with the market as hot as it is right now. He was very responsive and knew exactly what we wanted in a place. Being new to the area, we relied on him for a lot and he always delivered. We will definitely be coming back for John's help when we start looking again for our next place!

  Mr. John DeVries was recommended to me from a co worker. That was the best recommendation during such difficult time of my life. I loved his kindness, understanding and professionalism he provided. God couldn't have sent a better person.

  John was incredible, from the beginning of the home search process over the past year, all the way until the closing! He was attentive to our needs in what we were looking for. He never put pressure on us to settle on something that he knew we wouldn’t be happy with, and at the end of the day, we are now living in our beautiful home, that met all our desires! Thank you John, for always being available, most often without much notice; to show us houses, or just answering our questions via phone, email or text.

  John's work made a very stressful situation much more bearable. He gives honest assessments on the home we were looking at and the home we were selling, and he was able to deliver results on an accelerated timeline.

  In a market that leaves you with more questions than answers, John DeVries is the one who is able to help you every step of the way. John helped us purchase our first home in 2015, and also guided us in 2021 with selling it to purchase our new (to us) home. John’s expertise is top notch and is able to help get that extra leverage you need to today’s market. He took care of all the details that may have slipped our minds, and made the whole process (almost) stress free! 😉

  John did a great job with answering all of our questions in the process of purchasing our first home! He was also able to fit us in his schedule quickly when we wanted to go through houses. I would recommend going through John to help sell/buy any house! He has worked with multiple of my family members and is very well trusted by all of us!
