I entered Real Estate over 36 years ago here in Grand Rapids Mich. I've seen many changes(good and not so good) but my secret to longevity is knowing how important it is how you treat others(fellow Realtors) but more so the public you serve. We are or should be servants to our public. It is our responsibility to be fair and honest in ALL dealings we have. I  recently achieved my GRI Designation and in doing so I've raised the bar for myself as I interact with buyers and sellers.  Whether here in Grand Rapids or any where in the US. Without the public we have NO business.    THE BEST TIME IS NOW!!!!!!
