Grand River Realty

Our family so appreciated Pete’s wisdom and experience when it came time for us to sell our childhood home. Pete helped us decide what work was most important to do to get it into selling condition (and, importantly, what to leave undone), suggested people who could help us get the work done, guided us how to price the home to get the most walk-throughs, and then worked magic to get multiple, competitive offers - all in a relatively short period of time. We are pleased and grateful for the results and Pete’s direct hand in them.

We had a wonderful experience with Pete as our realtor. It's a tough time to buy a house, but Pete was knowledgeable about the market in Grand Rapids and was very dedicated to helping us buy our first home! Being first-time home buyers, he gave us all the guidance we needed to succeed while keeping our preferences in mind. He made our move to Grand Rapids enjoyable as he helped us feel welcomed to the city. As a bonus, it was great working with a local Grand Rapids company that cares about the community. We will definitely be using Grand River Realty in the future when it comes to selling our house someday!

Selling my home was an important piece of a big life change for me and my family. Pete made me feel heard, brought perspective when I was freaking out, and was knowledgeable and effective when it became go-time. There are lots of realtors out there, and they are not all equal. Choosing Pete Bruinsma was a decision I'm glad I got right.

I loved my experience with Pete so much during my first home buying experience together that I knew he was the man for the job when I decided to purchase a second home. He’s been in the business close to 20 years and he knows Grand Rapids like the back of his hand. The market is intense right now but he worked diligently to help me find my dream home. I recommend him to all of my friends and he’s helped many of them find their perfect homes too. He’s a hard worker and someone you can trust to guide you along the right path. You’ll be happy you chose him!

We could not have done it without Pete! In 2022 we had to relocate out of state quickly. We contacted Pete to help us sell our home (we first noticed his sleek blue signs on cool properties around the city--and reviews backed him up). He was a gem! He was quick to respond to all of our questions. The last time we had moved was 20 years ago, and so much about real estate had changed. Pete helped us through all of that on top of orchestrating out-of-state calls and meetings for us. He also connected us with an excellent home stager whose skills were so helpful. From start to finish, we were in great hands. We highly recommend Pete for any West Michigan real estate needs!
