What do Clients Say?
We were looking for someone to help us sell our home, and in working with Jamie we got so much more than that! She shared her expertise in so many areas, and we benefited every time we followed her advice. She is so well organized and prepared we never second guessed our decision to work with her. We listed, sold and closed all within less than 30 days; which required huge attention to detail on her part. We trusted Jamie with our future and we are so glad we did. Her communication throughout the process made this such a positive experience. -Diana Yope

I was so appreciative of being introduced to Jamie after she represented so many of my neighbors when she sold their homes. Her knowledge of the community, coupled with the real estate industry, brought a new level of expertise to aid in the successful sale of our home. She handled her position with such grace and ease that stress was non-existent and the transaction was smooth, not only through closing, but even after to address post closing topics. Jamie is very professional, responsive and dedicated to her role. -Monica Hazel

Working with Jamie has been the most wonderful and easiest process we could have imagined. We've worked with other realtors in the past and there is no comparison to Jamie. She is incredibly knowledgable and pointed things out we missed when looking at homes. Jamie helped us put a strong offer together and was able to work her magic to get a deal below asking price in a very sought after neighborhood. She was a firm negotiator but also worked with the highest of integrity. We have told everyone we know we found a dream of a realtor. Work with Jamie, she really is the best!! -Mallory Willenbring

My husband and I worked with Jamie to recently sell our home. From the beginning, she was friendly and personable but also so knowledgeable about the business and honest and straight-forward. She did not make promises she couldn't keep and did not try and sell us on a high asking price, yet she delivered just that. She walked us through our first-time home sale step-by-step, explaining the process, terms on agreements and options of what steps to take next. She never tried to sway our opinion or try make a quick sale. She was always available, at all hours, to discuss showings and offers, and was very understanding of our situation and specific requests. We were so happy to be working with her and would recommend her to anyone wanting to sell their home! -Shivani Lasater

About Jamie
I have been happily married to my husband Derrick for over 20 years. We have 3 amazing children, Kayden, Kendall and Kyla. I have always had a passion for real estate but was urged to "get a degree for something to fall back on." I love serving people! I studied Nursing at GVSU right out of high school, worked at a local hospital as a Labor and Delivery Nurse and pursued my master’s degree. I practiced medicine as a nurse practitioner for 11 years. During that time, in 2007, my husband Derrick and I began pursuing our passion in Real Estate in addition to our careers. We learned many valuable lessons flipping homes, managing our real estate investments, becoming landlords, and running a full scale marketing company. In early 2015, after the birth of our third child, I was at a crossroads in my career. While I liked having a stable income from my medical career my heart was in Real Estate. After a lot of prayer and encouragement from my husband Derrick, I decided life is too short and I needed to follow my heart! My last day seeing patients as a Nurse Practitioner was the day Kyla was born.
It's amazing how things fall into place when you follow your dreams and truly love what you do! My first full year in Real Estate I closed over $9 Million in sales and was awarded the Greater Regional Alliance of REALTORS® Rookie of the Year Award. Since then, I have been awarded the Grand Rapids Magazine Real Estate All Stars Award in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. Grand Rapids Top 100 Agent in 2018, 2019 and Grand Rapids Top 40 Agent (approx. 3500 agents in GR) in 2020 in 2021. In 2019, I earned the Best of Zillow Badge and I have maintained this award as a local Zillow Premier Agent since.
I have earned numerous designations and certificates providing enhanced value for my clients including Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist™ (CLHMS™ / GUILD™), Accredited Buyers Agent® (ABR®), Graduate of the REALTOR® Institute (GRI), Real Estate Marketing Specialist (e-PRO®), Relocation Specialist and Master of Agent Principals.
The books I have read, the people I have been privileged to learn from, and my prior experiences have helped me become who I am today. Being a nurse taught me how to LISTEN, serve others, and compassion. My 11+ years as a Nurse Practitioner taught me the importance of relationships, leadership, problem solving, and critical thinking. As a Real Estate Investor, Landlord, and Marketing Specialist, I have learned how to negotiate, which investments are worth the money, and what creative marketing techniques are effective.
