We Love Our People!
We find it incredibly important to give back to those who support us and make sure all of our people know how much we appreciate each and every one of them – from our clients to our agents to our hometown community.
Client Appreciation Party
On the first Friday of October, we throw a huge party for all of our team’s present and past clients. With upwards of 150 attendees and growing constantly, many consider it the family fun event of year! Typically held at VerHage’s Fruit Farm & Cider Mill in Kalamazoo, the event features delicious food, take home prizes, family photography, and fun activities like a hay ride and a jumbo jumping pillow for the kids. We make sure everyone goes home with something and an experience to remember for years to come.
VIP Cocktail Mixer
The newest team event is our VIP Cocktail Mixer, an exclusive private event for a smaller group of clients and business partners that have gone so far as to refer business to us. Started in 2022, this will continue as an annual event orchestrated to shower a smaller crowd with quality drinks and entertainment, delectable hors d’oeuvres, and big value door prizes and giveaways.
Home Buyer Seminars
Designed for both first time prospective home-buyers and seasoned homeowners preparing to make another move, our team comes together to host an informational power-hour with guest speakers from multiple real estate industries. We provide free information to the public by way of talking through the entire home purchasing process from perspectives of the buyer, Realtor, home inspector, lender, and title insurance provider.
Online Giveaways
We utilize social media to host online contests for our followers to have a chance to win prizes throughout the year including things like a Date Night basket around Valentines Day and Amazon shopping cards at Christmas time!
… and more!
We’re consistently adding and improving our event schedule year over year. Check back with us regularly to find out what’s new!
Our team has committed to donating $500 per quarter to local charities. We take turns and give everyone on the team a chance to choose which charity they would like to support. Whenever possible, we like to arrange a volunteering day to coincide with the monetary donation – this allows us to meet the people involved and learn more about the organization first hand so that we are in a better position to spread awareness, encourage support within the community, and revisit in the future!
In addition to this financial committment, we LOVE volunteering together as a team! Here are some of the local organizations we support and would encourage you to learn more about if you are also interested in getting involved and making a difference right here at home:
