Tim was recommended to us on our relocation back to West Michigan. The housing market was very competitive at the time of our move and Tim helped to keep the process as stress-free as possible. Tim was very open to letting us explore all the areas to make sure we found the perfect fit for our family. We ended up trusting Tim so much that in the end of home search, we bought a home that only he had toured! A year later and we are very happy with our purchase! Thanks for finding our home, Tim!

Tim did a great job helping us find our first home. He was super patient as we checked out houses. He also is very knowledgeable. He noticed a lot of things in the houses that we might have missed. Finally, he wasn't pushy at all. I could tell he really wanted us to find the right house!

Tim Bruinsma was great to work with during the whole process of selling and buying. Tim was very honest and straight forward with his expectations and recommendations, especially given the current market. Tim understands the entire real estate process and offers innovative marketing and advertising tools to make his listings as visible and attractive as possible. The listing and photos of our house were incredible - He sold our house in 6 days! In addition to the quick sale, he was very attentive and responsive until the end. I have and will continue to recommend Tim Bruinsma!

Working with Tim has always made our home-buying special and truly seamless. His relationships with Title companies/Lenders/Agents, knowledge of the industry, attention to details, transparent and ethical approach, positive attitude and always being available makes for an outstanding experience. If you're in the market for buying or selling, or even just thinking about it, I would absolutely recommend Tim!

Highly ethical Realtor. Represented us as buyers. Instead of encouraging us to make an offer on a house we really liked, he told us he thought it was overpriced and pointed out a couple of issues with the house we did not notice. Helped structure an offer on the house we eventually bought that the Seller chose to take over a competing bidder. This house is a much better fit for us than anything we saw. Always responsive and professional, a very nice guy and a true joy to work with. Will use Tim again and refer him to all of our friends and family.

Tim is an experienced, professional Realtor that makes the home selling and buying experience smooth and fun! Tim brings data driven recommendations to the table, and provides guidance and great perspective from many years of handling similar situations. Tim has the pulse of the market front of mind, and helps sellers/buyers understand the current environment. Tim also masterfully helps home buyers take a rationale approach to selling and making offers, since emotions can otherwise cause poor decisions. Can't recommend him enough!

Tim was exceptional in helping us navigate a tough real estate market. I do not recommend many people for anything, but Tim's superior service warrants high marks. He knows the market, is very responsive, has superior integrity, and understands how to get a deal done. We have worked with Tim to buy twice and sell once, and will continue to use him going forward

Tim was always available to us. We were first time home buyers and basically challenged him to find us a waterfront home within a tight budget. He made room in his schedule on short notice as we made three trips from out of state to see homes that required a lot of driving outside the Grand Rapids area. I cannot say enough about his professionalism and integrity. He went to bat for us when things got tense and always kept us informed of our options. He made what I have always heard was extremely intense seem almost effortless. His friendly disposition and willingness to go the extra mile made the entire process seem effortless. To say I would encourage you to trust Tim with your next or first home purchase is an understatement! Thanks you so much Tim!

Tim was easy to work with, friendly, and responsive when we had questions. He makes sure to be ethical in his work. Our house sold fairly quickly for the price range that it was in. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family!
